Not to fall into the blogging cycle that Nicole describes (not intentionally, anyway), but, it’s the weekend, and the weekend is light enough to accomplish a meme. So without further ado, here’s the countdown (I hesitate to call it the “Final Countdown”, as Elke titles it, since these are always subject to change):
Ten movies you’d watch over and over:
- Garden State
- Napoleon Dynamite
- Donnie Darko

- Ghost World
Nine people you enjoy the company of:
- Kevin (natch)

- My dear friend Toni
- Toni’s husband, Brian
- My niece, Maddie
- My friend Michelle (a.ka. Batgirl)

Seven things on your mind:

Two people who have influenced your life the most:

- Kevin
One person who you love more than anyone in the world:
- I guess it’s most fair to say myself. Or rather, I should love myself more than anyone else in the world.
There you have it. I’ve succumbed to a meme for the first time in a while. Now I can go back to some real content.
I don’t have a “final” countdown either. I just like picking song titles for entry headers. The cheesier, the better. C’mon, sing with me! Belt it out: “It’s The Final Countdown!”
