Shorter study break

I've been working most of the day (after church of course) with just a couple of fairly short breaks, so I thought, as I listen to Michael Buble's "Home" (he has a really good voice and I really like this song), that I would post a list. I'm not big on lists, but I ran across this one on someone else's blog and I thought maybe I'd try it out. We'll see how it goes. It actually started as 7 lists of 7, but I deleted two of her lists and added three of my own, so now it's 8 lists of 7 which probably messes up the whole 7 of 7 theme (is 49 a magic number?), but I like my lists better.

Seven things I hope to do before I die:
1. Go on another mission trip (or two or more...)
2. Go skydiving
3. Travel to Syria (maybe in conjunction with number one...)
4. Read "War and Peace" (maybe after I finish "The Brothers Karamozov" I can continue my Russian literature obsession)
5. See the Rolling Stones in concert (Actually, that's more before they die; or, if not the Rolling Stones, maybe some other classic rock band that is still around and still worth seeing live)
6. Serve on a jury (that will probably never happen - no one wants lawyers on their jury)
7. See a whale

Seven things I cannot do
1. Lie (I won't play poker with people because of this)
2. Drive straight to wherever I am going (I always seem to find the roundabout way there)
3. Drink a beer (ewwwwww - the smell is enough to make me sick - not that I've ever really tried, I guess)
4. Get into "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" (I don't know how many times I've opened that book...)
5. Kill spiders (creepy little things...)
6. Watch scary movies with my eyes open
7. Enjoy getting somewhere late (sorry Nicole)

Seven things I say often:
1. "interesting"
2. "it was funny"
3. "rrrright"
4. "I'm just sayin'"
5. "I don't know what to tell you"
6. "It was just frustrating"
7. "You wuined our wole wacation" (Okay, I really don't say that often, but I had to throw it in there for Kevin ;))

Seven books or book series I love - what, only seven??!!??!!
1. The Bible
2. Lord of the Rings (including "The Hobbit" and "The Silmarillion") (Tolkien)
3. The Chronicles of Narnia (Lewis)
4. A Tale of Two Cities (Dickens)
5. Crime and Punishment (Dostoevsky)
6. The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (Wrede) (what can I say, I like children's books :))
7. The Screwtape Letters (Lewis)

Seven movies I would watch over and over:
1. Fiddler on the Roof (what, you didn't think it'd be on here???)
2. Remember the Titans (speaking of, haven't watched it in awhile...)
3. Pirates of the Caribbean (and they're coming out with a sequel - oh boy!)
4. The Lord of the Rings trilogy
5. Probably the Chronicles (if they come out with all of them - or just the first if that's all they end up doing)
6. Finding Nemo
7. Secondhand Lions

Seven songs I can't get enough of:
1. Michael Buble's "Home" (at least right now - I really like his voice)
2. Switchfoot - "The Blues"
3. David Crowder Band - "You are My Joy" and "Our Happy Home" (those are fun in the car with the bass and the volume turned wayyyyy up)
4. Lifehouse - "Come Back Down"
5. Bebo Norman - "Nothing without You"
6. "Do You Love Me" - from the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack
7. "Kiss the Girl" - from the Little Mermaid Soundtrack (I think that song is funny - there's a lobster or crab or something singing)

Seven words or phrases I wish I had the opportunity to use more often:
1. propinquity (means nearness, but sounds much cooler)
2. Occam's razor (means that the simpler of two options is probably correct)
3. Sword of Damocles (Greek mythology - Damocles spends eternity with a sword hanging by a thread above him)
4. geriatric (means old, but this sounds much nicer)
5. effectuate
6. "unusual need for unquestioning adherence"
7. stymie

Seven television shows I would watch if I had the time (I'm not sure I can think of seven)
1. Law and Order
2. Law and Order: SVU
3. The Cosby Show
4. Whose Line is it Anyway
5. The Daily Show with Jon Stuart
6. The Colbert Report
7. West Wing (ooo, looky there, I did think of 7!)

Okay, that's enough listing from me, it turned into a little longer break than I anticipated. I'm getting back to studying and then to sleep. Everyone have a good Monday!
