I was tagged by Cellobella in the lovely city of Perth for this meme.
Regular readers will know i'm not so good with the meme, but this one appealed, for some reason .. perhaps as a diversion to me droning on about the same ol', same ol' ? ....
I liked the Music question best, as I don't talk about my passion for music much..

8 Things I Want to Do Before I Die
Honestly, I think i'm doing it now. Is it ok to be completely fulfilled ?
I used to want:
to be married
to have nice children
and a nice husband
and a nice house
and a nice life
with a nice garden
to have some money to do the things I want to do
and to be happy.
Honestly.
But I don't want to die for a long time yet. I guess I just want to enjoy my oasis.

Interesting music selection. :)
And what did you think of Atonement - the movie is out soon... will you go and see it?
I like a girl who is happy with her life. (I'm happy with mine too)
I could listen to Grace everyday until I die...
I agree with a lot of what you listed in this pretty cool meme. Might have to do this one. Not yet, but I will.
How do people determine that their meme is going to be the 8 (or 3 or 12) Things Meme?
-J.
We have quite similar music tastes. All of those, bar Freedom, are in my collection...
And there's nothing wrong with being content. More power to you, in fact.
Seeing I love Jeff Buckley and Cold Play and many of the artists on the Cosmic Feast CD I am thinking I best check out Goldfrapp and the Royal Tenenbaums Soundtrack (and movie while I'm at it). I'm a bit of a sucker for a good soundtrack - I'm loving the first Sopranos at the moment. Also, just purchased the new Alicia Keys (lover her - 70's groove/funk)) and am a big folk/bluegrass fan and also recently purchased Alison Krauss' newie (if you like bluegrass, check her out; Shawn Colvin too). My music tastes are many and varied! (Also picked up Spice Girls best of - shhhhh - don't tell Mr J!)
The way that people interact with their own children is a quality that I judge too. Nice children are never an accident, they come form sensible parents.
Great playlist. If you like Jeff Buckley (and the rest on your playlist) you should try his dad, Tim: "Greetings from L.A."
IMHO, Tim's the better man - but they both died young and tragic.
ps - I think it's not only perfectly ok to be living your dream, it's also lovely that you can see it and appreciate it as it's happening!
Don't pull the cushions off the couch ! - Hey, I say this about 10 times a day too! Annoys the crap out of me...I hate seeing the small cushions on the floor, but that goes with my cleaning obsession I think.
Your music list did surprise and delight me...we're on the same page sista! ;-)
Music for life...that's the way..
Nice meme.
I love Gomez too.
Delete the Bunnings and funny little boy ones, and I say all your things often too! Especially the cushions off the couch one.
Love your answers to this meme! It's not a crime to happy with your life.
I hope you enjoy your oasis for a long, long time to come.
