7 things game stolen from Robotsatemyhair, who foolishly prefers ninjas to pirates but otherwise is extraordinarily charming:
1. Seven things to do before I die:
1) Get married.
2) Finish my book (writing not reading)
3) Vengeance. (all I'll say)
4) Move back to Chicago, but to a less-deadly neighborhood than my former one.
5) Finish my Ph.D
6) See my daughters blissfully happy and prosperous and silly.
7) I must go to Ireland, and to everywhere else.
2. Seven Things I cannot do:
1) Rip a light pole out of the ground with my bare hands. I learned this the hard way and I lack the words to describe how disappointed I was.
2) Eat seafood.
3) Save my troubled loved ones. This pains me.
4) Stop asking questions. (heh heh)
5) Sew. Just can't do it. There's a hole in my favorite sweater to boot. Fuck. It was so fluffy.
6) Just follow the rules.
7) Believe it will get better.
3. Seven things that attract me to Chicago:
1) It is real, ugly, but real.
2) I can walk almost anywhere I wish to go.
3) It's my home. It calls to me. And I feel better there.
4) sexy ass used book stores
5) Oddities. On a given street corner one might find an original Chagall, a man walking with an alligator slung over his shoulder, a bar where Marilyn Monroe carved her initials, the list goes on.
6) Independence, freedom, not dependent on the car, can get things I need without resorting to a mall or a chain store. .
7) I love it's history, and it's poetry, and it's size and shape, and all the delightful noise it makes.
4. Seven things I say most often
1) Chum
2) Monkeys are funny
3) I love you. (I tell my daughters literally every few minutes)
4) Strike up the mizzensail ye poxy salt, lest I flense ye to meat with my cutlass.
5) Fuck. I say fuck a lot. Fuck.
6) I like pie.
7) No! Stop it! Go to bed! Don't shave the cat! Don't hit your sister! That battery's not from MY car is it? You're going to be late for school! Put that animal down! No, you cannot take the crossbow to school! You're going to be really tired tomorrow if you don't settle down. No! Please no! How can you possibly be hungry, you just ate! Say "excuse me"! Slow down! Don't climb that! You can't bring that horse in here! Do your homework! What elephant? NO!
