Finally, four things
I've been meaning to do this one for a while, so when Phantom sent out an open invitation, I took her up on it. Also, since commenters everywhere seem to be coming out of the woodwork this week, please consider this your invitation to de-lurk.
Four Jobs I've Had
1. Grocery store cashier
2. Sub maker (as in submarine sandwiches, not the underwater defense craft)
3. Market researcher (one of the ones who accosts you in the mall with a clipboard; only did it for a summer, but it was strangely fascinating)
4. Front-desk clerk at a ritzy resort
Four Things I Hope to Do Defore I Die
1. Deliver this child without any more vomiting
2. Publish a piece in the New Yorker
3. Somehow acquire enough money to travel at length and luxuriously, all around the world
4. Gain a new hairstyle that I actually like
Four Movies I Could Watch Over and Over
1. Annie Hall
2. Say Anything
3. The Godfather
4. When Harry Met Sally
Four Things I Cannot Do
1. Be patient
2. Keep my car clean (inside or out)
3. Beat Darren at most any game or sport
4. Keep my mouth shut about whatever happens to be on my mind at the moment (although my new job is causing me to gain skills in this department rather rapidly)

1. The O.C.
