Seven

Birthdays are a good time for reflection. But they can be pretty depressing times, too. Especially when you realise that you are not where you feel are supposed to be, doing what you are born to do. That kinda thing.

Anyway, Beer Brat tagged me with something which caused me to reflect on the things that people normally reflect upon on their birthdays, new year's eve and other significant events. Here it is:

Seven things you plan to do before you die (I have lots of these but will share the appropriate ones for public consumption):
1. Go to Europe
2. Learn ballroom dancing
3. Complete the Annapurna circuit
4. Have my book(s) published
5. Be married to my dreamboat
6. Get barefoot, pregnant and happy
7. Inspire my youths to live out their dreams


Seven things I could do:
1. Play the guitar... badly
2. Play the keyboard... worse than the guitar
3. Cook, bake, sew - skill level worsens in ascending order
4. Type real fast
5. Read even faster
6. Sing in alto
7. Strike a pose

Seven Celebrity crushes:
1. Pierce Brosnan
2. Michael Vartan
3. William Petersen
4. Dermot Mulroney
5. Tom Cruise
6. Dennis Quaid
7. Harrison Ford

Seven often repeated words:
1. Aiyo
2. Aiya
3. You see!
4. Terrible lar u!
5. Hahaha!
6. OMG
7. So bad!

Seven physical traits I look for in the opposite sex:
1. Cheerful smile
2. Intelligent, scholarly look
3. Sparkling eyes
4. Tanned skin
5. Broad shoulders
6. Biceps - indicates strong arms
7. Healthy mop of hair

Ok, I'm done. Phew!

And since it is my birthday, I'm going to be benevolent and not tag anyone, except for my bezzie, Rina. Hah, that's the benefit of being my best friend. I happy, you happy. I get tortured, you can't escape it either. Heheh!

*"6. Get barefoot, pregnant and happy"

~I can't believe you said that! That's...refreshing! It isn't often these days when I get to hear from a woman who sees the value of motherhood. Very cool.

*Dennis Quaid? He was the Quaid in "Independance Day" with Will Smith, right?
;-)

*Mark, being a mother is definitely a very precious stage of life that I'd love to go through. Acting as a pregnant woman before just doesn't quite cut it somehow :-P

And I think you are referring to dishy Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day. Dennis Quaid starred in Frequency, The Rookie and In Good Company.

*Gotcha! There [b]is[/b] a Quaid in Independance Day...the good looking one, too. :-P
