I picked this up meme over on The Republic of T. and thought it was more my speed than the previous one I was tagged with. Light yet revealing. I also think I prefer the forward looking perspective rather than the more historical vibe I got from the last one. Fun yet with a little depth.

7. Get a job doing things I love: writing, research, and humor

Seven celebrity crushes

(Er, I'm not that superficial. OK, I am.)

1. Vin Diesel
2. Angelina Jolie
3. Johnny Depp
4. Seth Ackerman of FAIR (he's a celebrity to me!)
5. Antonio Banderas
   
6. Trent Reznor (I hear he's buffed up recently; I haven't decided if that's good or bad.)
7. David Bowie

(I wanted to have gender parity for the above list but found myself too uncomfortable listing most women. It seemed a little too close to objectification. However I obviously have no problem thinking of men as objects; what else are they good for? Strangely, I don't seem to have this problem with Angelina Jolie. That worries me. Then again, she seems able to take care of herself: handy with butterfly knives, does her own stunts, etc.)

Seven crush-worthy bloggers

(Current roster of a rotating cast. Dating availability not a consideration (may actually be a drawback.) Mostly I love their minds. Some I have no idea what they look like.)

1. Twisty of I Blame the Patriarchy
2. Shakespeare's Sister of Shakespeare's Sister
3. Pam of Pam's House Blend
4. The Dark Wraith of The Dark Wraith Forums
5. Prof. B of Bitch. Ph.D.
6. The Heretik of The Heretik
7. Norbizness of Happy Furry Puppy Time with Norbizness (Just because...)
