Needs versus wants
So Marley did a meme, and I remember seeing this meme somewhere else, and I’m looking for something to pop into the ol’ blogeroo while I’m gallivanting about with my mom and my dotter, so I thought I’d do this.
You type your name followed by “needs” into Google. You choose 10, hopefully the top 10.
So. Herewith:
Kate needs a shave. Ooookay. Look, I know I’ve got this menopausal thing going on, and I know that I have hair growing in odd places now (while it stops growing in other places), but isn’t it a bit rude to be telling me I need a shave?!
Kate needs a cold shower. Um. I’m afraid to look. It’s a video. It’s probably not safe for work.
Kate needs a date. With my husband, of course! Who else?! And I do. We’re considering getting season tickets to the symphony in Big City. It just so happens that my heartthrob symphony conductor from Small University Mountain Town left his position there a year and a half ago. Guess where he turned up?! Big City! Woot! Now I can go and sigh mistily as he tosses his mane of raven hair about while conducting.
Ahem. I remind myself that the date we’re talking about is with my husband, not with aforementioned conductor.
Let’s continue.
Kate needs a stylist. I totally agree. Anyone want to donate a few visits to a stylist to me? (Note: it’s actually Mary-Kate, but we’ll accept it anyway.)
Kate needs a macro-system. Don’t we all?
Kate needs to get lost. Well! The noive! Besides, if I were to get lost around here, we’d have Real Problems. People who get lost around here get eaten by bears. Or die of starvation. Or freeze or get hypothermia.
Kate needs your help. I always do. It could be monetary help. Hint, hint.
Kate needs to think before she speaks. Yowzah. I am totally down with this one. This is soooo true, sometimes.
Kate needs better keyboard usability. Yup. And better eye-interface usability. And better finger-joint usability. Oh, heck, toss in a bunch of usability stuff, I’m sure I need it.
Kate needs to go on a diet. Um. Who’s been looking at all the pictures of me I don’t put up on the web?! Okay, look, this one’s about Mary-Kate again, and, hey, y’know, in every picture of that girl I’ve seen, she would be the last person on earth who needs to go on a diet; if anything, she needs to stop dieting and start eating again. As for me? Well, let’s just say I do need to go on a diet, but I need to do it on the QT, because I’m damned if my dotter hears me uttering those words and grows up thinking that’s the way to approach life.
By the way, we’ve been in Alaska a year now…
