The Urban Panther's and my journey in the blogosphere has lead us to meet, virtually, some incredible people. I often wish I had a Star Trek teleportation unit just to get to meet all of you, have regular dinner parties, and truly hear you laugh instead of reading LOL or ROFL! Unfortunately, the conception of such a device is beyond my simple mind. Although I usually find Memes annoying, this one appealed to me right away because it allows us to get to know each other better and get a better feel of who the person really is. Again, the importance here is to answer with the first thing that comes to mind. Don't reflect too much on your answer. No one is here to judge you. So, without further ado, I shall expose myself. Here's the Lion in 34 bits and pieces!
I am tired but very content.
I think I'll open another bottle of vino.
I know I will open another bottle of vino.
I have opened another bottle of vino.
I wish the lottery faery would come for a visit. Heck, a sleepover!
I hate weekday mornings.
I miss my sweety during the day!
I fear death at a young age.
I hear frigging loud Harley Davidsons.
I smell red fruits and a bit of clove in my wine.
I crave the Urban Panther!
I search nothing. See # 1.
I wonder why some people are so selfish.
I regret wasted days.
I love being me.
I ache when my son is away too long.
I am not worried about the future.
I believe in the simple things in life.
I dance every day, several times a day!
I sing constantly (mostly in my head!). I'm not that cruel!
I cry when my loved ones are in pain.
I fight when the war is worth it.
I win whenever I really want to.
I lose gracefully.
I never say never.
I always embrace my loved ones.
I confuse things when convenient.
I listen more than I talk.
I can do anything I really desire.
I am a beautiful person; as in balanced and happy!
I need love and sunshine!
I am happy; need I say more?
I imagine what our place will be when all the frigging renos are done!
I tag the ones I love.... that means YOU! You lucky person you...!
OK, I won't do the meme for now, but I have to say I was impressed with these:
I smell red fruits and a bit of clove in my wine.
I am not worried about the future.
I listen more than I talk.

Have I ever mentioned that I think I know your twin brother? Every time I see your picture, it's weird as hell because I have a friend who looks identical. Really.
By the way: I always embrace my loved ones.
Keep doing that. That's important.

Vered: How ere you impressed? Are they things you can relate to?
James: Yeah, I know! Everybody tells me I look like George Clooney!

Nicely done! Your significant other let me know you were both going to give this one a try, so I came over to peek.

Hi Lion,
Glad to meet you. I have been lured here by the Panthers call and now look what I've done. Yep, since you love me too I've done a meme myself and I have sworn never to bother with these things again.
Like I said, blame the lion. :-)

Hi Urbane Lion,
"I listen more than I talk", me, too.
Great list!

Hi there U.L.
Nice to read these - and see your photo! (is that a soccer move, or a dance - or both?)
(did u get the email about Melbourne's coffee culture?)
Posted by: Robin | August 15, 2008 at 08:42 AM
RC: Thanks for the exercise. This was a lot of fun and got us to know some of our readers a little better!
Monika: I usually get blamed for everything that goes wrong. I can live with that. Welcome to the Den!
Barbara: I guess that's why we were born with 2 ears but only 1 mouth!
Robin: That's my 'Oh-Yeah-Babyyy-I-just-landed-a-ringer-on-top-of-your-ringer dance!
I went to check my email and you had been flagged as spam. Sorry! Interesting article. I don't see that happening over here anytime soon! And, we have much worse that Starbucks to take care of.... we have Tim Horton's!

I really love your list. I especially liked, "I fight when the war is worth it."
Posted by: Writer Dad | August 15, 2008 at 04:52 PM
It's good to "know" you a little better -- these are my favorites...
I believe in the simple things in life.
I dance every day, several times a day!
Posted by: Lance | August 15, 2008 at 08:25 PM
LOL yeah, that's what we always teased my friend about too!
Posted by: James Chartrand - Men with Pens | August 15, 2008 at 08:32 PM
This is a great meme. I saw it on Urban Panther's site first and so I did it too because I have a girly crush on the fabulousness of the Panther.
Now I've found yours and I especially love these answers.
I ache when my son is away too long.
I am not worried about the future.
I fight when the war is worth it.
I win whenever I really want to.
I lose gracefully.
I never say never.
I listen more than I talk.
I can do anything I really desire.
I am a beautiful person; as in balanced and happy!
I need love and sunshine!
Great getting to know you.
:) Kelly

Writer Dad: Unfortunately that was not always the case. In my twenties and early thirties I wasted a lot of precious moments fighting wars that were not worth it. In the end, the time spent is lost and I've only gained frustration.
Lance: I believe that dancing is a way to exteriorize what you're feeling inside. I wish I could have a 30 minute dance session every morning. What a way to start the day!
Posted by: Urbane Lion | August 16, 2008 at 07:38 AM
James: I knew you would agree too! As-tu vu le nouveau TypePad?
Kelly: I try to lead an uncomplicated life. It's better for my complexion! I'll go have a look at your answers!

I have to go to work.
I rather stay here and rest.
I am hungry.
I also listen more than I talk.

I love all type of berries.
I love my Honey.
I am wicked.

Students have to handle thesis mba just about this good topic in a right way, just because they will need it a dissertation writing service in future.
