Sevens

Did anyone else play the ball game sevens? You had to bounce a ball against a wall and do various tricks and whatnot? Well this isn’t the same :) Janine tagged me so I guess I’ll play along. All my sevens are in no particular order, and no one who is tagged has to play along.

    sorry for nominating you fence! i think my list would be different every day so if i had done it saturday instead of friday you may have escaped :)

    i meant to include buying a house. and buying a horse. that would be really cool and you could have your own racing colours and everything. i'm with you on the daddy long legs too! never read brideshead revisited. i watched it on tv with my mum though – the agony – it goes on *forever*!! :)

  7. Fence says:

    Weenie, you can speak Chinese. Cool. Mandarin or Cantonese?

  8. Anne says:

    What new language?
    Can't believe I got the "kill you with my brain" reference. I've been reading you way too much, now.

  9. Fence says:

    Any new language. I want to learn Russian, but it looks very hard. French, Italian and Spanish are also on my list. Course maybe I should learn how to speak Irish properly first :)

    And seeing as you got that reference Anne I'll have to tell you that French people are getting a Serenity showing of their very own: french gobbledegook what I don't understand about the film, but according to whedonesque it is showing on Sept. 3

  10. weenie says:

    I speak an old dialect of Mandarin called Hakka. I can speak Cantonese too but not fluently, probably enough to get by. Regret not learning to read or write in Chinese though. Maybe that could be a new hobby…hmmm! :)

  11. Fence says:

    Nihao.
    Ai ya, hwai leh

    See, tv does teach us something. These are from Firefly.

    […] I’ve been tagged. By the seven meme, which I did waaaay back in the mists of time. Actually, now that I think about it, it was in August, but some will have changed, so I’ll may as well do some of them again. I won’t tag anyone, cause I already tagged 7 or you. But if you feel the need then tag yourself. […]
