Gimme Seven!

Before I start blogging about anything else, I will finally have to comply with that tag I got from Ashley. She's lucky it was her birthday when she tagged me. ;) Soooo, here's my very lame list:

7 things to do before I die:

1. Jump off the 10 meter diving board. Given that I don't even dare climbing up the 3 meter board anymore, this will take a lifetime to achieve
2. Travel to Africa
3. Re-learn Russian
4. Win an Oscar (I don't know what I'd win it for, but I wanna use that Thank You Speech I've practiced since I was 10)
5. Buy a car for my mom just because I CAN
6. Write to Valentina Tereshkova and tell her she was my heroine when I was a kid (see the difference between people growing up in communist countries and others ;) )
7. Go on a loooong trip with my sister - anywhere in the world

7 Things I Cannot Do:

1. Stay still (I am NOT a copycat. ;) Staying still is impossible for me)
2. Stay silent for a day- or even half a day... ... ... okay, an hour!)
3. Not be sarcastic (I soooo tried)
4. Tell people to shut the f*** up, already (I think it, but I never get myself to say it)
5. Climb up the 10 meter diving board
6. Eat slimy stuff
7. Become a Vegetarian (tried that one, too - no way!)

7 things I say most often:

1. Damn! (in English!)
2. Fucking Hell! (in English!)
3. Arschkuh (it's a made up word ... literally means "ass cow")
4. Übelst (don't think I translate all that stuff)
5. Maybe ..... NO!
6. Come baaaaaaack! (from Titanic It's a running gag at work.)
7. Scully!!!! (when I yell at the cat - which happens a LOT!)

7 books I love:

1. The Secret History
2. Catch 22
3. Catcher in the Rye
4. Faust I (I really do love that book!)
5. all the Harry Potter books
6. most Paul Auster books
7. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
There's so many more. I think finding just 7 books I hate would be easier

7 movies I can watch over and over again:

1. Airplane! ("Hospital? What is it?" "Oh, it's this big building...")
2. Life of Brian (the only movie ever that is better in its dubbed German version)
3. Ferris Bueller's Day off
4. Breakfast Club (pretty much all the Brat Pack stuff)
5. Field of Dreams (Corn fields were never this intriguing before)
6. Bridget Jones' Diary (my sister and I hold whole conversations in movie quotes)
7. Three to Tango ("Don't make me make you my prison bitch!")
8. Spaceballs - oh, wait... that was number 8, right? er....
Again, there's lots more....

Alright.... I don't have that many people to tag.... So two will have to do:
Clare and Claud, you're TAGGED!

Paging Noah!

I shouldn't even blog. I have no right to blog. I should be sitting huddled into a corner with a book about communication theories in my hand. Rebellious as I am, however, I am not! Not sure what or who I'm rebelling against as I am actually the one who will be screwed if I decide against reading my books, but I guess a short flashback into my teenage years is in order. Hell, I'm such a rebel! I feel this deep urge to go and find a mosh pit right now....

After months of heavy snow it is now officially five minutes to Doomsday. Someone should start collecting the wood for an ark. I was really hoping for some sun, but reality caught up with me in a very cruel way. It's been raining heavily ever since last night. That's about 30 hours now. 30 hours of heavy rain.

Oh well, sun is overrated. Who cares that even my cat is starting to become suicidal? Nature's going crazy anyway. What is this story about the furry blond lobster? Is that the Paris Hilton among the crustacean? God help us all! (I hope Jewish people will not start burning our embassy now, because I spelled out G_d. 'Cause I keep seeing comments in other blogs cautioning people not to speak their mind as "we've seen what can happen")

Oh, I also feel I have to mention that Ashley snuck up on me and tagged me. As it was her birthday recently (Happy belated Birthday, Girl!), I will have to honor the tag. But I won't have the time until next week. Soooo, patience, grasshoppers!

Finally, Ashley, here's your b-day gift! You'll have to thank Clare for the nightmares you'll have. I only enhanced the pic a bit. ;)

If you are the guy in this picture.... *dramatic pause* Write to Clare. She's waiting!
