Hey -- I've gone snorkeling at that beach

I pilfered this from my friend Geewits, and felt it was an ideal Friday blog. It’s not too challenging, a bit thought-provoking and also leaves me the time to do the things I have to do, the places I have to go and the people I have to see. It's just some categories with which to fill in the blanks. So, this is how I feel, this Friday the 13th of July in the Year of Our Lord 2007:

5 Things I wish to do before I die

1. Go back to the South Pacific
2. Go back to Europe
3. Visit my oldest friend, John, and his lovely wife, Joy in Australia
4. Have a book published
5. Be utterly at peace with myself and my circumstances

5 Things I can do

1. Make the best potato salad you ever had
2. Make somebody I love laugh
3. Express my need for creativity in a number of realms
4. Help people in times of crisis or distress
5. Flirt in a non-sleazy way

5 Things I cannot do

1. The splits
2. Climb mountains (acrophobia)
3. Surf (and I’d love to be able to)
4. Scuba (see surf)
5. Tolerate cruelty to either people or animals

5 Things that attract me to the opposite sex

1. Sense of humor
2. A naughty mind and mouth
3. Intelligence
4. Irreverence
5. A great ass. Sorry, but I had to have at least one smutty item

5 Celebrity crushes
(I am much more inclined to get crushes on real people, who shall remain always nameless, but the category calls for celebrity crushes. It doesn’t specify living or dead.):

1. Kathryn Erbe (of L&O Criminal Intent)
2. Mary Louise Parker
3. Deborah Harry of Blondie
4. Lisa Kudrow
5. The late and eternally ravishing Lee Remick (I wanted to work Bewitched’s Liz Montgomery into the mix, too, but ran out of slots)

Anyway, that is me in a tiny way. Feel free to do your own. It's not only fun, but you'll find it challenging to narrow down
