the sevens

So, Archie tagged me to do this list thing-y. (I'm not linking -- he's unpublished and trying to be all anonymous, so sorry.)

*go to Australia
*go to Mongolia
*see a solar eclipse
*run a marathon

7 Things I Cannot Do
*whistle a tune
*dive

*do any math higher than algebra

7 Favorite Movies
*Bull Durham

*"Bebe!"
*"Louisa May!"
*"Charlotte Jane Campbell!"
*"Do I look like the maid?"
*"Take a deep breath."
