There are some things you just have to do."Whatever your roommate wants" is one of them.
I've been tagged by my roommate to fill out a short survey about myself:
1. Seven Things to Do Before I Die

- Finish grading these stupid papers
2. Seven Things I Cannot Do
- Call casual acquaintances
- Anything ahead of a deadline
- Take everything seriously
- Cuss

- Understand anything Morgan Stanley tells me
3. Seven Things That Attract Me to Guys
- Love for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
- Intelligence
- Ability to listen (surprise surprise)
- Good grooming/attention to dress
- Openness to understanding a broad range of subjects

- Lean build
4. Seven Things I Say Most Often

You make me sound like a harsh taskmaster. I like it.
"Harsh taskmaster." What's with all these references to the Hebrew Bible here? Ha!
Will that dance be the tango, the mambo, the salsa, the polka, the two-step (that one would be useful 'round these here parts), the waltz, the Schottishe, the Cotton-Eyed Joe, the jitterbug, the swing, or what? All of the above? Be specific, Ms. Swanbom! : P
The Koran is such an interesting read. A good deal of it is just polemic against the Jewish and the Christian faiths. A lot of it is social codes. Sounds like Leviticus and Deuteronomy in some places.
The Magician's Nephew was good. "Dem fine woman" was my favorite line. (Do you suppose that will be the next movie in line?)
Thank you for not tagging me!!! Whew!
I like reading your blog but the main thing I wanted to say is that I got a cell phone. My first.
Next...a microwave.
