They (I have no idea who “they” are) say if you have seen more than 85 of these movies you have no life. There are 252 movies on the list.

My number is 178. I should feel ashamed and bit embarrassed, but I’m a movie addict. Hollywood must love me. What’s worse, I’ve seen many, many more movies than this poor list consists of and as I sit here typing I’m plotting the next two movies I’m planning on seeing in theatres this week.

My blog friend, Caylynn, has been doing this for a while so I thought I would try this out this week and see how it goes…

• Baby-sitting doesn’t count right? I was a booking clerk at a photo studio for the summer (between grades 10 and 11). I was allowed to work during the summer, but not during the school year.

Soup: Did you ever lose something really important to you?

• Prior to this year, I would have said that what was lost (stolen) that meant the most to me was my grandmother’s cross. My grandmother (on Dad’s side of the family) gave a cross and necklace to my mom after my parents married. My mom gave it to me when I graduated high school. About 6 years ago our house was broken into and the cross was stolen. I was so upset to lose a family piece, but my parents seemed happy that the hubby and I weren’t home at the time of the break-in. There was a bad spree of violent home invasions happening in the city at the time.However, it seems so trivial to mourn a piece of jewelry since losing my dad to cancer 2 months ago. Yeah, I’ve lost something really important to me.

Salad: What is the best Christmas present you ever received?

• My hubby bought me a vacuum cleaner for our first Christmas together. We lived in an apartment with lots of crappy old ’70’s carpet and I desperately wanted one. Despite lots of people telling him buying me a vacuum would be the death knell of our relationship, he ignored them and bought me the present I still think shows that he really understands me.

Main Course: Tell about a favorite “hang out” place for you and your friends when you were in high school.

• I was the nerdy loser with few friends. I didn’t have a hang out. I went home and did my homework.

Dessert: Name something that always brings a smile to your face.

• My cat, Thanatos.

Welcome to the 9th edition of the screaming pages Thursday Thirteen.

I couldn’t live without my iPod mini when I travel. We don’t have a stereo at home so the external iPod speakers get a lot of use lately. This week I’m finding I’m listening to the same songs over and over again. I guess you could say that sometimes I get songs stuck in my head because I’ve banged them in with a hammer…

Thirteen Things about SHE. Songs wearing out my iPod. Evanescence – Bring Me to Life Sacre – Mad World Matchbox Twenty – Unwell Peter, Paul & Mary – Leaving on a Jet Plane Marc Cohn – Walking in Memphis Elton John – Daniel Ozzy Ozbourne – I Just Want You Anne Murray – Song for the Mira The Corries – Flower of Scotland Alanis Morissette – Uninvited The Rolling Stones – Paint it Black Sarah McLachlan – Black City of Glasgow Philharmonic Orchestra – Black Bear Salute Get the Thursday Thirteen code here! The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted! View More Thursday Thirteen Participants
