The Seven Things Meme

Ah. Now I know why I’ve been getting hits from Ilyka. She tagged me with the “Seven Things” meme.

Seven Things To Do Before I Die
1. Find Ilyka and smack her upside the head for tagging me with this particular meme
2. Visit Israel during Christmas season (so I can be in a place that mostly ignores it; I will be nowhere near Bethlehem on that trip)

Screw it, I’m tired of this.
