Seven things
November 01, 2005
It's meme time again at Velveteen Rabbi: Out of Step Jew has tapped me to do the "Seven Things" meme. Given the slight sleep debt that always seems to follow a night on-call at the hospital, it's probably a good thing I had a meme to fiddle with tonight. Simple and structured: these are good things when one is short on sleep.
I've seen several versions of this meme floating around the blogosphere. One includes the category "seven crush-worthy bloggers," another asks for "seven things I say most often," another for "seven things that scare me," still another wants "seven things I find attractive"...Anyway, I chose the version that seemed most congenial to me.
In lieu of passing the meme on to anyone in particular, I'll offer this: if you do this one, or if you've done it, do post a link in comments. I'd love to see what you come up with. Enjoy!

I wasn't sure whether to interpret that last question literally (e.g. in terms of reincarnation) or metaphorically (the way one says "oh, yeah, I'll do that in my next life," meaning "someday when there's time," or maybe "next time I undergo a phase change.") So I opted for some of each. I leave it to the reader to determine which are which...
