30-something handed me this stick – it’s called 7 things.

Seven Things I Plan To Do Before I Die:

Plan? Me? No.

Seven Things I Can Do:
1. chew and walk
2. rub my belly and my head
3. pancakes.
4. Cartwheels.
5. origami in the shape of female genitalia
6. I’m a mean cuddler, but then I did learn from the best.
7. Pee very, very far. (I always won every competition.)


Seven Things I Can Not Do:

1. The splits. I used to, and now I can’t, although I have recurring dreams about it. I wonder what it means. *paging Dr Freud*
2. Wear odd socks.
3. Sit through a film in which a character is being treated unfairly, even if I know s/he’ll get even at the end.
4. Bear the sound of sports commentaries. I just get a rash.
5. act interested in wedding/sprogs pictures.
6. j says ‘tie your shoelaces’, but he’s grossly exaggerating.
7. eat a prune without farting for the next two days.


Seven Things I Say The Most:

1. Putain de bordel de merde. That’s a combo of 3 of the rudest French words you can get, and it’s very, very satisfying to utter. Try it.
2. It sucks donkey balls.
3. ay ay ay!
4. Bollocks.
5. Bring it!
6. Ok, but don’t yell.
7. mon gros matou chéri que j’aime - but only to my cat.

Seven Books I Love:

1. The heart is a lonely hunter – Carson Mc Cullers
2. They call me Mad Dog – Erika Lopez
3. Plateform –Michel Houellbecq
4. Slammerkin – Emma Donoghue
5. The Count of Monte Cristo – Alexandre Dumas
6. Au Bonheur des Dames – Emile Zola
7. Exquisite Corpse – Poppy Z Brite

So, that was nearly impossible.
I left out ‘ 7 things I find attractive about the opposite sex’ as well as ‘the same sex’. I don’t know why.

Oh, no! You must SHOW the origami! I'm sure that Blogger has a by-law or something...

Also, I think I understood "merde". What are the other two rude French words, en Englais?

Er...that "peeing" thing is just highly disturbing. One wonders...er...never mind, I don't really want to know...

Sam: I'll think about it...

Anne : disturbing? no. just practical, when you have no toilet and you don't want to pee on your shoes.

Personally I really like the sound of "joint de culas". It sounds very dirty.

Do you say bollocks with a French accent ? I'm not sure I can imagine anything more attractive in a woman than that. Except perhaps a woman that says with a French accent "But all zees zat you are saying, zees ees bollocks." Come to think of it, that's what my Belgian ex-girlfriend used to say to me all the time. Sorry.

I think one of the seven things you say the most should have been ' I can't help it !' .. I seem to hear that alot :-)

mc said...

Edith - 'Joint de culasse'! it does sound dirty... I'd never thought of it.

Waterhot- nah, I don't have that much of a French accent, and not on bollocks. I think.

Sortof- do I really?...
