Down on all Fours

I’m responding to Alece’s post of February 9th about favorites. I’ve always had a problem picking favorites. When I was little I would even rotate stuffed animals so nobody would feel left out. So here are a few current hits, four at a time.

Favorite Places I’ve Been

1. Vienna, Austria
2. Rijeka, Croatia
3. Budapest, Hungary
4. Warsaw, Poland

Favorite Places I Haven’t Been

1. Alece’s House
2. Ireland
3. Scotland
4. Outer Space

Favorite Movies

1. All things Mystery Science Theater (and that’s totally cheating)
2. Lord of the Rings Trilogy (again, cheating)
3. 50 First Dates
4. 13 Going on 30

Books I Try To Read At Least Once A Year

1. Lord of the Rings (that includes The Hobbit, Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King)
2. Anne of Green Gables (all six books that I’m aware of…. I always read these after Tolkien)
3. The Ultimate Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy (which is cheating, since this is really five different novels)
4. The Chronicles of Narnia (cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater)

Favorite Things About the Keys

1. At least it’s not Iraq.
2. Orchids are cheap.
3. Fish is fresh.
4. At least it’s not Iraq.

Favorite Things About being Four

1. Not knowing what money means.
2. Endless freetime and knowing how to use it.
3. Noticing every detail about everything I see.
4. Being able to hide in the corner cabinet of the kitchen like it’s my own personal fort.

Favorite Jobs I’ve Had

1. Teaching Piano (2 years)
2. Directing cameras for Acquire the Fire (8 months)
3. Tutoring (1.5 years)
4. babysitting (whenever I get the chance)

So there is my list. Ask me again in 6 months and I’ll probably have a whole new set of anwers.
