How does this keep happening?

Day 1 - Pride. Seven great things about yourself.
Day 2 - Envy. Seven things you lack and covet.
Day 3 - Wrath. Seven things that piss you off.
Day 4 - Sloth. Seven things you neglect to do.
Day 5 - Greed. Seven worldly material desires.
Day 6 - Gluttony. Seven guilty pleasures.
Day 7 - Lust. Seven love secrets.

Wait, I though I hated multiple day memes.

Day 1 - Pride. Seven great things about yourself.

1. I'm funny. Not like stand-up comedy funny (cause quick-witted I am not - I'm a frequent victim of l'esprit d'escalier), but I have been known to wield the power of LJ and IM for maximum splorfle generation.
   
   
2. I'm squishy. I cultivate being huggable. I also give pretty good cuddles and hugs.
   
   
3. I'm good in a crisis. I've mentioned this before, but yeah when everyone else is losing their shit that seems to be the only time when I can keep mine together.
   
   
4. I've got nice feet. No really, I've got the kind of long narrow feet that would look disgustingly good in strappy heeled sandals. If I wore such things.
   
   
5. I'm pretty good in the kitchen. So far I've only had one "lets thow things into a pan/pot and see what happens" experiment turn out completely fail - most things have been edible to pretty good. (Last night was a bit of a close call.)
   
   
6. I do pretty well reading books aloud to people. Like I do all the voices and everything. A little sad that Kidzilla pretty much reads on her own now.
   
   
7. Okay, *sigh* I'll admit... I'm kinda hot. A lot of the time I don't see it, but I've noticed as I get older and get more settled into my face, I realize that in the not too distant future I'm going to be one hell of a cougar. Which is fine by me. Seems like unlike the rest of the world, I seem to prefer my ladies looking like they've lived some. Hence all the mental slash I've written between Melinda Warner and Miranda Pond on SVU even though I don't think they ever share a scene. (But Tamara Tunie and Alex Kingston (aka River Song on Doctor Who) are just. So. Damn. HAWT.)
   
   *cough* that was probably TMI.

Does Kidzilla not *like* being read to?

When I was little my mom and I used to read aloud to each other. Granted, this led to things like me reading Clan of the Cave Bear at 8 or 9. She was reading it... I picked it up, and read till I caught up (I had a bit more time free for reading) then we read to each other. We stopped doing it for that series after one of the characters was killed violently while I was reading, which meant that my mom could skip over the rape scene in that book, and could edit out the pages of sex in the sequels as they screwed their way across Europe. The pauses were... annoying.

I recommend choosing books with slightly more age appropriate topics.
