Memes, as Noreen so aptly put it, are gh3y. They are usually reserved for LiveJournals and MySpaces, but this one is all over the British blogosphere like a rash. And snooo tagged me (as well as giving me a minor promotion). Phhhhhhhhh.

Seven things to do before I die:
1. Get a job
2. Get a partner
3. Have a few more birthdays
4. Fall ill
5. Go to hospital
6. Curse that I never did those first two things
7. Run out of breath

Seven things I cannot do:
1. Juggle
2. Stay attentive during conversations, especially three-way conversations
3. Think of the right thing to say, ever
4. Sleep during normal hours
5. Function well during my Friday morning tutorials (Some actual things I have said include “um…. errrr…. yes. I mean no.”; “Errr. No.”; “I’ve forgotten what I was going to say.” [nobody put me out of my misery for that one]; etc.)
6. Eat an apple without facing the consequences
7. Urinate through my earhole

Seven Things That Attract Me to… the Ladies Update: Gaaah, I didn’t realise I was supposed to change the bit after the ellipsis. Well I can’t be arsed coming up with something else.

7. I never worked out a pattern to it all. You just know. Although in my case, mostly you don’t know until the opportunity to do anything about it long passed by. Doh!

Seven Things I Say
1. Shit off
2. No. No no no no no no no no no

4. I can’t be bothered with all that stuff
5. Gah
6. Hmmm hmm hmmm hmm
7. Funt

Seven Books That I Love
1. There probably aren’t seven books that I love. I’ve never been very interested in fiction, it always bores me so much. Non-fiction books are all biased so I don’t see the point in reading them for leisure.
2. But I’d better plug my dad’s book, which you can now get for one pence off Amazon!

Seven Movies That I’ve Loved [sigh]
1. The almost obligatory inclusion of ‘Donnie Darko’
2. ‘Scratch’ — cool documentary about turntablism
3. ‘Shaun of the Dead’ is alright, but there are probably looooads of references that I don’t get
4. Update: ‘Fight Club’ was okay, yes
5. Update: Just remebered ‘Dancer in the Dark’

Seven People To Tag [difficult to find seven people who haven't already done this!]
1. Andrew
2. Ben Phillips
3. Coffee and PC
4. David Farrer
5. Jamie K
6. Ryan Morrison
7. Shuggy

These memes are supposed to be banal, but I think this is the longest I’ve spent on a post for weeks. I hope you’re happy.
