My Seven

1) I have hated zucchinis with a fiery passion since I was four years old (no joke, I remember being sent to bed without supper after refusing to eat zucchinis in stewed tomatoes - I mean really, that is SO gross).

2) While I love most kinds of music, movie and musical soundtracks reign supreme on all my track lists. In particular, I will always have a place in my heart for John Williams (the score composer of the Star Wars movies, E.T., Seven Years In Tibet, Memoirs of a Geisha).

3) I will always wish that I had pursued a career in voice performance to be either a Broadway or opera singer like Renee Fleming

4) When I was eight, my mom and I moved to Maine by ourselves (my dad stayed behind in upstate New York to finish out his job). The two of us lived in an old house in a tiny fishing village on the Maine coast. This wonderful and scary experience brought us even closer than we already were, and continues to every time recollect that year.

5) I stayed on an island in Maine by myself for three days and two nights with only a sleeping bag, a jug of water, and a handful of trail mix (I was on an Outward Bound trip).

6) I studied abroad for a year in England. One day while I was walking down the street in Oxford, I ran into Mr. Bean (aka Rowan Atkinson), who, bespectacled and sporting a perfectly grey and black argyle sweater, nodded to me in a most Bean-like manner and continued down the street, leaving me in a fit of giggles.

7) I learn things the hard way.

And there you have it!

Now I tag the following blog-tastic writers who I admire greatly:

1) Ingrid of The Scenic Route
2) Danielle of Sticky Candy
3) erin of reading my tealeaves
4) Pearl of MAYA & RUHI
5) Emily of wide open spaces
6) Julia of The Red Otter Shop
7) Anne of The City Sage

Happy Thursday!
