"Deirdré Needs..."

May 28, 2007

Caught up with this meme via Sognatrice, and found it a bit of good silly fun. You can play, too! Put your name followed by "needs" into Google and copy the first ten results you get. Add your own comments as to the applicability of each.

Deirdre needs a parent who will take responsibility and act as a parent should.

Well, that would have been nice 40 years ago or so.

Until she finds him, Deirdre needs a place to crash, and that's where Ellen comes in.

Finds who? I generally have no trouble finding places to crash. Friends all over the world.

Deirdre needs our support! 15 January 2006 04:07:43 ... Deirdre needs someone to help her that knows a lot about computers.

Moral support, maybe. Tech support, rarely.

Deirdre needs to meet her biological father though she risks tearing apart her family, which has taken years to come together.

Uh, no, I know my biological father quite well. And can tear my family apart all by myself quite nicely...

Deirdre needs a parent who will take responsibility and act as a parent should Deirdre needs to find a space in Sydney Harbour to park that liner

Again with the parents! A place to park a liner in Sydney Harbour is far more promising.

Deirdre needs a haircut badly

Hey! I just got one Friday!

Deirdre needs your votes on iRADIO LA.

???

Deirdre, she suggests Deirdre needs reassurance and says they should go round together.

I hope going round with this person will in fact be reassuring.

Deirdre needs to pull herself together and tell the truth for everyone's sake.

I usually do tell the truth, probably more than I should.

However, all Deirdre needs to do is to put her emotions to one side and have a good long think about what has happened leading up to the murder.

Wow. My emotions must be causing amnesia - I don't remember any murder.

I didn't look at any of the actual results pages, but my impression is that there are a lot of soap opera characters named Deirdre. Or maybe it's all the same character who, like most soap characters, has an improbably eventful life, what with murders and yachts and all.

Tag, I’m It! - Five Things Not Many People Know About Me

As a blogger, people may know you, but how good does anyone ever really know anyone? ...

Turns out there is a game of Blog-Tag going around the blogosphere in which bloggers are sharing five things about themselves that relatively few people know, and then tagging five other bloggers to be "it."

Interesting idea. I'm sometimes a bit startled at how much people know about me, especially friends and acquaintances whom I hadn't realized were reading up on me. But there are always more stories to tell! And now Bill Streeter has tagged me.

Umm, so… five things that relatively few people, know about me…

  1. I played D&D for a couple of years in college. My character was a centaur ranger who got pregnant within the first day's play, and eventually became very hard to maneuver in tight dungeons. (My zodiac sign is Sagittarius, and I had always thought it would be cool to be a centaur. For that matter, I still think it would be cool to be a centaur. Except that the stairs in our house would be impossible.)
  2. I am the least athletic person in the world. In 6th grade I once served a volleyball into my own face.
  3. While attending the University of Texas, I was in Navy ROTC for about six weeks. (My dad was worried about my future and wanted someone to look after me.) If I had been assigned to the group of the cool Navy guy who interviewed me, I might be in the Navy today. But I was assigned to a Marine gunnery sergeant who looked like Hitler (really! mustache and all!) and tried to act like him. So much for my military career.
  4. In high school, and even once or twice in college, I wrote teenage angsty poetry at least as bad as anyone else's. Good thing I didn't start blogging back then.
  5. I used to do fine embroidery, but no longer had time for it after I had a baby - and now no longer have the eyesight for it.

This was the last major piece of embroidery I did, for my friend Robin

Okay, now who do I tag? A few people whom I don't know enough about yet: Jeffrey, Diego, Steve, Beatrice, Luca
