Seven

OK, I have been remiss in responding to this meme from malefactor, so here it is, late, but better than never. I've done a seven meme before: I'm trying hard not to consult my previous choices (slightly different meme, but with some overlaps) in answering these though.

Seven dreams before death:

• get organised
• get enough money to stop thinking about money
• finish reading all my books
• write a book
• direct a movie
• finish painting all my miniatures
• get organised (this is obviously important, this)

Seven things I can't do in this lifetime:

• get organised
• lie
• stay angry very long
• give up on people
• bungee jump
• stop worrying
• stop dreaming

Seven things that attract me:

• elegance (in thought and action, as well as form and)
• integrity
• kindness
• beauty
• honesty
• simplicity
• huge tracts of land

Seven things I say:

• "Wax on ... wax off ..."
• "Try? Try not: do - or do not. There is no try"
• "Your best? Losers whine about their best - winners go home and ..."
• "A man becomes pre-eminent, he's got to have enthusiasms ... "
• "Hello: my name is Inigo Montoya ..."
• "Kill your enemies. See them driven before you. Listen to the lamentations of their women"
• "Ni"

Seven books that I love:

• Starship Troopers (seriously. And it's much, much better than the movie)
• The Alchemist
• Of Mice and Men (tough choice between this and Cannery Row)
• Haroun and the Sea of Stories
• The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
• Feersum Endjinn (although I could substitue Against a Dark Background, Inversion, Excession, or almost, but not quite all, of Iain M. Bank's books here)
• The Odyssey (just beat the Iliad, and in this category also Polybius and Herodotus)

Seven movies that I've loved:

• Labyrinth
• Star Wars (Episodes IV,V and VI)
• The Lord of the Rings
• Casablanca
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail (close run fight with Meaning of Life though)
• The Piano
• The Princess Bride

Seven people I'm tagging:
I think most of my limited circle of friends are all meme-d out. So I'm stopping here.
