The sun is shining, the weather is finally warm and inviting, after days and days of rains and chilli winds. It’s Sunday. The 7th day of the week. A magic day; a sacred day and a day of mystery. But for me, today is the first warm day in months. 7 months to be more precise. Coincidence? Destiny? Who knows?
7 is such a controversial number. People who like 7 are introspective, analytical and quite often inclined toward metaphysic and theology. I like 9 and I am an absolvent of theology. 7s also like to think deeply. I do to. But I’m still no 7. Isn’t that strange? Are 7 and 9 related? And why do I like 9 anyway, when it is pretty clear the 7 is stronger?
Think about it: 7 continents and 7 seas, 7 days in the week, 7 colours in the rainbow, 7 notes in the musical scale, 7 directions (up, down, left, right, back, forward and center) 7 deadly sins, heck… even 7 dwarfs! And now there is a 7 random facts meme. And I already revealed two about myself. The first is obvious. Bold, screaming at you in the second paragraph. But can you guess the second?
Yes, that’s right. I am superstitious. I believe that everything happens for a reason and I believe in the zodiac too. I believe that dreams mean something and I believe in premonitions. There’s no reason on Earth not to believe in the power to see the future. Remember: time and space are relative. Tomorrow already happened.
We see 7 planets with the naked eye. And we cannot really see their surface to know what worlds are out there, unexplored, waiting. But I know that these worlds are there. And I believe that they are inhabited. Yes, I believe in aliens, pretty much with the same power as I used to believe in fairies as a child. I want my fairies back!
There are 7 days in the week and I can go on listening to the same salsa CD, every day, hours and hours. I can read the same book 7 times and I will still find it fun and refreshing. I don’t mind seeing the same movie 7 times. It would still feel new to me. Now, I don’t have a memory problem. I just do things from a different perspective. The first time I watch a movie I pay attention to the story, the second time I’ll take a careful look at the editing, the third time I’ll find the best secondary actor and follow his/her performance… etc.
Well, here they are, enough factors about me to beat the 7 random facts idea.
This, my blogging friends was my part in the “7 Random Things” meme. Lillie Ammann , the writer and editor, who revealed a lot of her soul in her entry, tagged me. Then Martine tagged me for the same meme, with the only difference that instead of 7 things her meme requires 8 random things. I stick to my “7″ preference today.
And I will tag 7 bloggers. Today I’ll do something special, for the first time. I will tag only bloggers I do not know. Why? Because this is the purpose of this meme: to get to know people.
How do I choose these bloggers? I type “beauty” in the MyBlogLog search query.
So here they are: Aparna of Beauty and Personality Grooming, Kristen of Beauty Addict, Hazel of Beauty Hazel’s Blog (nice pictures here), Jen of Beauty Marked (what a beautiful design!), Lisa of The Beauty Café, the mysterious woman behind Beautynomics, and the ones behind BeautyLoveSpirit.
It’s really amazing what bloggers and blogs you can discover with a simple MyBlogLog search. Whether the bloggers above answer the tag and continue the meme is irrelevant. The little time I spent on their blogs was enough to convince me to become a returning visitor. These happen to be my recommendations for this weekend too. Enjoy.
Hi!
I noticed that you linked to my blog magazine http://www.BeautyLoveSpirit.com in your entry. It put a big smile on my face. I think your facination with the #7 is interesting! I didn’t really think about all those things until you mentioned them.
I’d like to continue this meme too. Perhaps i’ll choose a different phrase other than “beauty” we’ll see! Anyway, its nice to meet you. Feel free to drop me a note, I am always up for discussing blogs

Welcome to eWritings! it is good to know who authors BeautyLoveSpirit. I was not familiar with the blog, and I am happy to find it.
You can continue the meme any way you like. It’s about you. Choosing beauty and bloggers I don’t know was a random action.
Hi!
I saw your linkback via my Technorati. 
I didn’t know I was “mysterious!”. We are somewhat the same that we believe in the zodiac, are superstitious, and believe in premonitions 
Thanks for sharing, Mig. I enjoyed getting to know more about you. And I think tagging bloggers you don’t know is a terrific idea.
I can’t believe how many things we have in common!!!
M.
Mihaela, I continued the meme! Just put the post on my site. I search “twenty-something” and found some pretty neat sites. It’s amazing what you can find via a simple search. I also linked back to your blog here so people can retrace the linage.
Sophie, I only said you were mysterious because I coulnd’t find your name on your site.
But now, when I think about it, if you believe in all these things you are a mystery.
Yes, Lillie, apparently it is. The meme has trasformed now into a let’s tag 7 people we don’t know meme, by searching at MyBlogLog for a random keyword…
@ C.M. Williams – you’ve managed to find really interesting blogs. Too bad that during the week I do not have time to see them all. But I will go back in the weekend. And thank you for the link love.
Ha, ha, ha, Maria! I am not surprised at all! We were born under the same star!
Thanks for tagging me. I’ll do it in a few days time.That’s a nice blog you have here.
I am not so much a believer of numbers in relations to the fulfillments of life. Yet, there have been moments for me to ponder its significance as in the science of numerology. Most houses I live in thus far *5* or added up to *5*. The number *7* is dominant in my life. This year, like the author of this blog page – Mihaela Lica, I am number 9. Identification numbers and phone numbers, mine, contain mostly these three digits. Well, I shall explore more of this so as to discern the facts, the figures, the fantasies, the flaws, and the falsehood in relations to this topic.
Hi Aparna, thank you for the nice words. I can hardly wait to read your entry. It’s always interesting to see how memes evolve and where they lead.
Zubli, as I know you are a great author, I am sure you’ll come up with a great analysis of numerology.
For me the 7 meme was just a fun way of expressing my personality.
Ha ha this post made me smile, I think I may be a 7 in many ways…. Is that normal for a Libra?
Anyway it also may me think of a really really bad joke!
Why was 6 scared of 7?
Because 7 8 9!!!!
See really bad. Are stupid jokes a trait of 7 too?
