1. Like Social Hallucinations who tagged Jane, I hate lending books. After I finish reading a book I love, I find it a home on my bookshelf where I can continue to admire it on occasion, as if it's a friend who's taken up residence in my hallway. People who ask to borrow books often fail to fathom the primal bond that forms between an avid reader and a book she hated to finish, or why ordering another from B&N just isn't the same.
2. I am the oldest of eight children. Who haven't been children, of course, for years. Funny how we tote our childhood identities into adulthood. Must we persist in using the term "oldest?"
3. I met my husband at Studio 54. Which makes us sound vastly more hipster than we actually were.
4. I was born in Tennessee.
5. Though it violates every principle I hold dear about women being worthy and equal, I love pre-feminist chic flicks like Cukor's "The Women" and "The Best of Everything." I can watch Joan Crawford's eyebrows in this scene again and again.
6. I speak Chinese. Not like a native. But I can hold my own at a meet and greet at a satellite office in, say, Shanghai.
7. Despite best intentions, I'm still tweeting as Mad Men's Betty Draper. In fact, my addiction has only intensified. I guess because against evidence to the contrary, I'm convinced the enterprise has a future, somehow. @bettydraper now has a blog! And (thanks if you voted) she's the number one nominee for a Shorty Award in entertainment! My (real life) family is researching 12-Step Twitter Recovery Programs. Wish me luck tonite at the Golden Globes!
OK, now it's my turn to tag people, asking them to share 7 things about themselves. Jane's already picked a few on my list, including Creative Beef and Joker (who just got engaged, mazel tov!) and Shaun at Prostituted Thoughts. But here are other bloggers I'd love to know better:
Advergirl
The Ad Contrarian
Advertising is Good For You
High Jive
Jetpacks
Toad Stool (Alan Wolk)
Make the Logo Bigger (Bill Green)
View from the Bottom
