Seven things

So Supamum tagged me. I've never done one of these meme things before, and if the length of time this took me to do is any indication, I might not do another one. It looks easy, but I found getting seven things down about myself actually very hard, and telling the truth was even harder.

Seven things (I’ll admit to) that I want to do before I die:

1. Spend a significant amount of time in Italy.
2. Become fluent in Italian.
3. Have a solo exhibition in a commercial art gallery.
4. Publish a book.
5. Play a professional gig on my own.
6. Own a Vespa.
7. Make a film.

Seven things I can do:

1. Play the guitar
2. Draw
3. Paint
4. Juggle
5. Argue a point of view without losing my cool.
