Stolen!

I stole this from Kimber, who borrowed it from Vesper.

I AM: Irrepressible!

I WANT: All joys. Flowers to smell wonderful, the moon to always be full, magic at my fingertips, and a wee villa in Rome.

I WISH: That everyone could experience a view of the mountains, the sound of ocean waves and the smell of fresh cut grass. I wish that everyone had the ability to climb into the limbs of a grand old Maple Tree and to fall asleep there...safe.

I HATE: That children starve in this world

I MISS: Bentley. My beautiful cat.

I FEAR: Nothing.

I HEAR: Django Reinhardt...strumming his old gypsy guitar.

I WONDER: Yes I do...every single day is full of wonder.

I REGRET: Regret doesn't even enter into it!

I AM NOT: Ashamed, sad, resentful or angry.

I DANCE: Unselfconsciously.

I SING: Loudly in my car (and occasionally at work!)

I CRY: When I give my mom the perfect gift and she turns to me with tears in her eyes, holding me tight to say thank you.

I AM NOT ALWAYS: Easy to get a hold of.

I MAKE: Do.

I WRITE: As I feel.

I CONFUSE: Directions on a map. Fortunately, Spider is generally around to correct me. "We have to go right here." I'll say confidently. And she'll steer me gently to the left. "Yeah, that's exactly the way I wanted to go!"

I NEED: A good book, intelligent conversation, a bottle of fine wine, my good friends and a long and winding road.

I SHOULD: Bah! 'Should' 'would' 'could'...they have no place here.

I START: To question, but then I remember that to 'be' is enough.

I FINISH: Nothing. I prefer to think of it as constant 'evolving'.

I TAG: No one that doesn't want to play!

I always want to play!

Dr. Deb said...

I AM: Sensitive.

I WANT: Chocolate. Terrible to be a chocoholic.

I WISH: For peace and tolerance.

I HATE: Bigotry and prejudice.

I MISS: Jessie, my sweet cat.

I FEAR: That there really is not GOD.

I HEAR: Soundscape music playing on my stereo.

I WONDER: If I will ever get my books published.

I REGRET: I don't have any regrets.


I AM NOT: An intolerant person.

I DANCE: Often and don't care what I look like!

I SING: All the time

I CRY: At sad things I witness.

I AM NOT ALWAYS: Someone who will call you back on the phone.

I MAKE: great chocolate desserts!

I WRITE: about many things. Songs, poetry, prose, academic articles. And I have the carpal tunnel to prove it.

I CONFUSE: Not many things. I am a pretty clear thinker.

I NEED: A loving environment, nature and good amount of alone time.

I SHOULD: No shoulda's here.

I START: projects that have great meaning to me just about every chage of season. My spring project is to get my flower and veggie garden going.

I FINISH: A lot of things. I like the feeling of completion and the process of moving through things.

I TAG: Everyone who wants to do this!

Oh these answers are fantastic! I may have to keif this one.

Ian Lidster said...

Captures the 'you' I met to a T, dear Tai. And, as a friend, I insist that you never change. OK?

Ian Lidster said...

OK -- got intrigued by these categories, so I thought I'd do my own. Voila:

I AM: Sometimes charming; sometimes witty; sometimes thoughtful

I WANT: Unconditional love; justice, and to slip into the azure waters at Tunnels Beach on the north coast of Kauai and to dance in my true Piscean fashion with the fish.

I WISH: That it could always be spring; that I could visit all the places in the world that I still want to see. That I can always hear the laughter of very young children.

I HATE: Injustice of any sort.

I MISS: Stumpy my loving, pumpkin shaped Manx, and Murphy my wonder dog, Andrea, my beautiful, intelligent step-daughter.

I FEAR: Mortality.

I HEAR: Jackie duPre’s cello playing Elgar, and Clapton still having Leila take him to his knees.

I WONDER: Of course. I have no answers, but many questions.

I REGRET: Failed relationships.

I AM NOT: Ashamed, sad, resentful or angry. (I’ll buy yours; they work for me, too)

I DANCE: Energetically and badly.

I SING: Throughout the day.

I CRY: Only when alone, and at sappy movies.

I AM NOT ALWAYS: As upbeat as some people have always wanted me to be.

I MAKE: bread, and sometimes, love.

I WRITE: Perpetually.

I CONFUSE: My thoughts with my words and sometimes inadvertently hurt when I didn’t intend to.

I NEED: Harmony in my life, and privacy when I need it.

I SHOULD: Be the person I can be, and sometimes am.

I START: But follow through more often than I give myself credit.

I FINISH: Never. What would be the point?

I TAG: The very select in my life, and the decision is mine.

:P fuzzbox said...

I love the finish. Constant evolving is something I try to do. To stay the same is to stop living life.

tai; thanks for the words of encouragement...just as well the "heart" is maliable (sp?) -- actually i did a rough sketch in 1997 of how it felt...i have added to, and improved on it over the years, and finally, yesterday, i completed how i think my heart has healed...i will be posting the photo and commentary soon.

I AM: a chocoholic

I WANT: chocolate (NOW! damit)

I WISH: I owned a chocolate factory

I HATE: carob (that's fake chocolate for those who don't know!

I MISS: Valentine's day, (that's when you get the most chocolate)

I FEAR: a world devoid of chocolate

I HEAR: voices in the night, saying "where's the chocolate ?"

I WONDER: when will i hit rock bottom and will my friends and family arrange for a chocolate intervention?

I REGRET: that i ever took my first bite of, yes, you guessed it, chocolate

I AM NOT: in denial, my name is pj and i am a chocolohic

I DANCE: for chocolate

I SING: ...NOT!...my mouth is too full of yes, what else, chocolate

I CRY: at weddings, and funerals...AND when daddy hides my chocolate

I AM NOT ALWAYS: that means never, without my chocolate

I MAKE: just like Dr. Deb great CHOCOLATE DESSERTS!

I WRITE: with chocolate scented Crayola crayons!

I CONFUSE: myself: Which brand of chocolate is best? Lindt, Hershey, Cadbury???? [i need help]

I NEED: more chocolate, AND yes, like ian unconditional love, BUT, it should be covered in chocolate

I SHOULD: stop talking about chocolate; no, maybe i should just go and rip the head off my easter bunny (don't worry, he's, yeah, what else? - chocolate

I START: to shake if i don't have a cup of hot chocolate as soon as i get up in the morning!

I FINISH: a whole box of Purdy's chocolate covered ginger before i get it home from the store even. yum!

I TAG: the next person on this blog who loves chocolate as much as i do.

[i am so silly after we had such fun at the B/D party, 20 people in attendance and the birthday girl was genuienly - e i a, whatever... (can't spell that) surprised!

anyone seen the eagles lately?

Zambo said...

Hey Tai!

I really liked your list!

Hopefully you're still enjoying the political book...when you're not soaring through the sky...avoiding the snakes onboard...

You're pretty impressive!

Take care out there, Tai!

Your Pal,

Zambo.

Crazy Me said...

I NEED: A good book, intelligent conversation, a bottle of fine wine, my good friends and a long and winding road.

AMEN!!
