The Google oracle

My friend Jamie blogged about a game she played with Google and it sounded so fun I decided to try it myself. It goes like this: Type "(your name) needs" into the Google search engine box and click on "Google search". Scan through the results that come up to determine your own needs (because if Google says so, it's true, right?).

I found out that I am a very needy person. According to Google, I have exactly 33,600 needs. Is my husband surprised? Here is an incomplete list of my 33K~

I like that you need another peanut farm (how many do you have?) and something in the middle. I have plenty in the middle I could share with those in need ;o)

Just a few of my needs...

LRH needs help please donate

LRH needs you to understand that she's not trying to sleep with your boyfriend

LRH needs to figure out how to get back to Oklahoma without being killed, married to a horse or losing her mind

So I do this with my given name and my needs are few (only two) and boring. So I decided to try the name by which I am sometimes referred to in blogworld. It got a little more interesting:

CW needs to find herself a real man
CW needs a stable and real man
CW needs to show affiliates it is more than two boxes of aging youth-skewed programming poured into a bigger box.
CW needs a good teen drama (get enough of this at home from my 11-year-old thank you).
CW needs a little fix.
CW needs to just give it a chance.
CW needs more pilots to join the fighting !!
CW needs to get its headline acts anounced soon. The last thing CW needs is yet another past-its-prime show.
CW needs to be completed and supported and readily usable.
CW needs more residential high-rise.
CW needs someone to speak on her behalf.
CW needs to turn a profit as fast as possible (now we're talking).
CW needs analysis (I couldn't agree with you more).
CW needs an edgy family dramedy (like I don't get that already?).
CW needs to be kept alive (I'm praying for it every day. Care to join me?).
CW needs more games and some posts.
CW needs a lot of it.
CW needs Everwood.
CW needs money (yes, please. Do send money now).
CW needs to know.
CW needs to be seperate from the great hall (yeah, whatever).
CW needs as much support as you guys can give.
W needs to be preserved as an art form.
CW needs to find an identity--and fast!
CW needs updating.
CW needs removed (no, please don't).
CW needs to accept this.
CW needs to be on.
CW needs improvement.
CW needs to be. (Amen.)

Gentle AZ needs a friend
AZ needs a focus
Az needs to come take band photos for us
Az needs NO CONTACT
AZ needs to have better competition
AZ needs 6-8 units of fresh platelets a day
Az needs a change


Subject change: I noticed that you're reading The Girls Who Went Away-- I have been DYING to read that book.

I heard the Diane Rehm show with the author and I was totally and completely fascinated.

I think my fascination started a little while ago when I heard Joni Mitchell talk about how she gave up her baby for adoption and how all her music has flowed from that place ever since. Once she met her adult daughter, Joni hasn't felt the need to write any more music. That whole sentiment just involved me. Then six months later, this book comes a long and I cannot wait to read it. Glad someone else has read and enjoyed it.

Emily said...

well, here's what I got on the first page:

Emily needs to be told "No, there are certain things that just are NOT allowed"
Emily needs to snap out of it!
All Emily needs to do is work on reading a little extra every night
Emily needs to write the way most people need to breath
Emily needs a new computer
Emily Needs A Gangsta

I agree with all of them except the second to last one. I love my little iBook like it was sent from heaven :)
The first one's a little harsh . . .but I guess we all need some sharp words at times.

Johanna Buchert Smith said...

hee haw! I'm laughing out loud at your list--protect your endangered flora? a full scale purge? Fabbity-fab-fab?

Jamie said...

Isn't that the most fun? You have a special advantage, sharing your name with a country AND a state...that makes it way more humorous! I just share my name with cheerleaders and British boys.
PS: My former mission pres. is a Nobel Prize-winning nephrologist, in case you still need one!

Amy said...

Hilarious. And alarmingly close to the mark sometimes. Having a really common name yielded some fun results:

Amy needs to either wake up or start getting some extra will-power
Amy needs to be slipped some colourless tasteless liquor
Amy needs to moon more people
Amy needs a blueprint for her financial future
Amy needs 2 hours to finish the dishes
Amy needs to take her meds
Amy needs to get another facial expression for deep ponderance
Amy needs to mend her ways and be more of a team player
Amy needs a flu shot
Amy needs a new diaper
Amy needs more cheesecake
Amy needs to examine her motives
Amy needs to realize that her family and friends require as much devotion as the horses
Amy needs a birth partner
Amy Needs Some Lovin
Amy needs to get out of her little feminist college I-am-woman-watch-me-chew-the-scenery phase
Amy needs Shadow to help rescue Cream, as well as her Chao, Cheese
Amy needs to overhaul her core practices around food
Amy needs no introduction
Amy needs to take responsibility for crime increases in Minneapolis
Amy needs someone with vocals as powerful as hers
Amy needs good glare-free lighting conditions
Amy needs to lose control more than she needs to gain it
Amy needs to find her mother who has been transformed into a baby
Amy needs to be on the cheerleading team

Well, apparently my attempts to fool everyone regarding my influence on crime in Minneapolis have failed...I guess I'll just go moon some more people.

Melody. She really needs a trustworthy advocate

... And it might help him understand Melody's needs

Melody, or the tune, is the second most basic element in music, most approximating speech, it tells the story.

This melody still needs to be determined

The World Needs a Melody

This just in--straight from myspace--"Dalene rocks my bulldog socks off."

Glad I could help.

Lorien said...

I'm surprised. Didn't think I'd find much, but there were a few gooduns.

Lorien needs her blankie to fall asleep and we take it almost everywhere!

Lorien needs to be rebuilt, because I did a stupid thing.

If you must needs compare Lorien to anyone within the religious pantheon, he is best compared in many ways to God. (apparently I'd been compared to Lucifer)

Lorien, 92. Needs time for sure.

Lorien needs her Lord.

Lorien needs my protection.These are perilous times, and I have been away much too long." (from Tolkien, methinks)

Lorien. Needs time. loads and loads of time.

Geo said...

I am going to be sick from laughing at your needs! (Nice of me, eh? I mean, they're your needs and all.) But don't stop! This is such fun.

Elizabeth said...

I liked the one where it said that you needed to change the law to protect people from people like you. I tried this game and it didn't really work, but what did come up that I found funny was that, "Elizabeth needs the fashion police." :)

Geo said...

Gee, Liz, if you need the fashion police, then I must be on America's Most Wanted list!
