I got hit by one of those “memes” (thanks Joel! ;-), and I’ve been meaning to get around to it, so here it is:

7 things I plan to do before I die:

• Get published


• Speak French fluently


• Be a parent


• Bungee jump


• Make a significant conribution to gay rights


• Get published again


• Experience as many different cultures as possible

7 things I can do:

• Overreact


• Tolerate just about anything except intolerance


• Garden (thanks mom!)


• Gamemaster GURPS adventures


• Write


• Design games


• Be a good friend and listener

7 things I cannot do:

• understand intolerance


• understand fundamentalism (redundant i guess)


• whistle


• go deep sea diving (snorkeling is as far as my fear of sharks will let me go!)


• go hetero


• change the things i’ve done


• morph into a werewolf (though it would be cool)

7 things that attract me to the same sex

• nice smile


• chest


• legs (oh, wait, are these supposed to be personality traits too?)


• charismatic


• compassion


• integrity


• spontaneity

7 things I say most often (how many of these are there????)

• superdog! (to the puppies)


• how’s my princess? (to my cat)


• what do you want now? (to the other under-loved kitty)


• sweetie (when I want something)


• fucking idiot (when I’m thinking about fundies, neocons, etc.)


• alrighty-dighty


• fan-bloody-tastic (in a bad Scottish accent)

7 celebrity crushes:

• Matt Damon


• Ethan Hawke (cleaned up, like in Gattaca)


• Ryan Carnes


• Jake Gyllenhaal


• Jamie Bamber (Adama’s son on BSG)


• can’t think of any more….


• still can’t….

I don’t know if I know 7 more people to do this who haven’t already (and are likely to do it), so I’ll just end it here.
