John Needs . . . .

Current mood: If you can't tell my current mood by reading the words below, I have failed at this job.

I saw something amazing tonight, not long after sunset. There was a patch of cloud, part of it covering the lovely crescent Moon, which was made up of straight parallel streaks. And when I say straight, I mean like a ruler, and when I say parallel I mean like furrows in a plowed field.

It was the damnedest thing. Kathe saw it, too. I wish I'd been up in the lookout tower to see it, although in that case it wouldn't have been so unusual, since it would have been imaginary.

I got this from neonnurse, who got it from kip_w, who got it from autopope, who doesn't say where he got it (good thing, or we'd never get to my needs): Google "[YOUR NAME HERE] needs" and let Googlomancy tell you what you need.

"John needs help" -- No, I'm a big boy, and Kathe takes good care of me when I can't take care of myself, and I've also got both parents living, so no, I don't need any additional help.

"John needs a new name" -- No, I don't. I like being John. So there.

"John needs a good home" -- Wrong again. I particularly like the one I've lived in for the last 21 years, and have no intention of leaving. I am seriously beginning to doubt the efficacy of this form of divination.

"John needs to see Almost Famous" -- I might catch it cometime, but I can live without it.

"John needs your bone marrow" -- What . . . on . . . Earth . . . ? Okay, one more miss and I'm going back to the exclusive use of my Magic 8-Ball.

"When spoken to, John needs a few seconds to gather his response" -- Okay, that one's very definitely true, impressively so.

"John needs a way to assign an item's UUID to an attribute" -- Uhhh . . . . Should have quit while I was ahead.
