Monica needs Okay, I admit it...I am in a weird mood today! As my three year old wanders about the house intoning solemnly to herself that she knows she is too serious, I have been cruising the internet window shopping through the blogs of total strangers. Often I have seen on blogs 'Top 100 Things About Me' lists that the author of the blog will put together...odd facts that give strangers out there a bit of an idea what the author's idiocincricies might be. Though they are often humorous to read, I have never been gripped with the notion to set forth in print such a list of my own. Today, however, I came across someone's 'Needs' list... The idea is that you go to google.com and enter your name and the word 'needs'. The result is page upon page delineating what your needs are. I decided it was a lot cheaper and quicker than going to a psychiatrist, so I googled my name (Monica) modified by the word 'needs'. Below is what I learned from just the first ten pages of the Google search (my attention span wasn't long enough to see it to the very end!)...

Thus ends the illustrious list of my needs! I have taken the liberty of highlighting in purple the needs that have the ring of truth in them! I can't believe I have nothing better to do today than google my name! (And nothing better to write about than what I learned from googling my name!) Maybe what I really need is to get a life...or at least a camera! (Evil Roy, I FEEL your pain...."I aint got no camera!")  ¶ 10/18/2005 09:28:00 AM
