Tag--I'm it!

Haven't done a meme in a while, thanks for the tag, m00ks.

Things I want to do before dying:
get married and have kids
get a job I actually like
do the hike where you walk the length of Israel
write a book (and if I'm even luckier, publish it!)
learn to live fearlessly
have self-esteem for more than five minutes at a time :-P

Things I cannot do:
keep my room clean for more than a day or two (and that's assuming it was clean in the first place!)
blowdry my own hair
argue with people, especially when it's important
ride a bicycle
stay organized
be totally open and honest with other people
keep my mouth shut when I should

Things I can do:
be there for people when I'm needed
dream
read books faster than almost anyone I know, provided that I like them
procrastinate like a pro
be nice even when I don't want to (okay...not all the time, but I try)
open jars and bottles
kill bugs
give good hugs
type 50 wpm

What attracted me to my husband:
I'll get back to this when I have one.

Things I want in a mate:
depth
honesty
humility
a good heart
kindness
acceptance, not judgemental
open mindedness
a funky eclectic fun side, so I know I can just let everything out and be silly when I want to

Things I say most often:
ooooh!
hey kids!
okay G-d, You and I gotta talk
holy _____ (no, it's not a swear word, I just alternate what goes in the blank)
scheisse
now where the heck did I leave my ____?
yay!
chaval

Books that I love:
There are too many to list, so I won't try.

Movies that I love:
A League of Their Own
Finding Nemo
The Power of One
Shrek & Shrek 2
What Dreams May Come

Okay, my turn to tag people... I'm tagging Bella, Libby, and Lvnsm27. Have fun, guys!
