"XYZ Needs" meme

Meme: Go to Google, enter "[your name] needs" in quotes, and post the top ten results. (from docbrite)

There aren't ten, when you do it for "Sidra needs":

"Sidra needs to learn that there's more to being a senshi and a princess than wearing pretty clothes."

God. DO I EVER.

and,

"Sidra needs to get some 16MB tenchi muyo episodes on its FTP."

There you have it. Forget world peace, get tenchi muyo episodes!

20 Years Ago, I...
Hated myself a lot and thought I was pretty much doomed to go through life alone and constantly misunderstood.

15 Years Ago, I...
Had finally met some fellow INTJs. And some guy on the bus.

10 Years Ago, I...
Left my then-partner of 5 years (the aforementioned guy on bus), and knew it was the right choice.

5 Years Ago, I...
Was getting ready to leave my then-profession, knowing I only had a year or two more stamina in me for that kind of work. Began thinking seriously about why computer programming wasn't fulfilling *enough*.

2 Years Ago, I...
Went to Ireland to study human rights law, flew from there to Alaska for my father's funeral, and then whilst almost still jetlagged, and definitely other-things-lagged, went to the Writers of the Future workshop.

1 Year Ago, I...
Had epiphany about being likeable person. Still don't believe it most of the time.
Ran myself ragged as chair of the Environmental Law Society, and it was worth it.

So far this year, I've...
Graduated law school -- cum laude, even -- taken the bar exam, written 100+ pages of my latest novel, started my fellowship, started some of the substantive projects for said fellowship, celebrated my 37th birthday, and had a ghost break my chair, I think.

Yesterday, I...
Went to sleep very early. So, naturally, a friend called at 11pm.

Today, I...
Met folks at the Commonwealth's Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs, agreed to work on natural resource damages claims stuff for them, priced flights to SoCal for Xmas (expensive), read some Clean Air Act stuff, did some administrative stuff, remembered to stop at CVS, and thought I might - might - be coming down with something, or it could just be eating poorly and not sleeping well recently. Did some research on asthma in Massachusetts.

Tomorrow, I'll...
Write some stuff on the Clean Air Act, drop dry cleaning off, figure out how to get all the places I need to go via D.C.'s Metro, attend a fundraiser for one of the orgs I'm working on a project for (though, if I'm too tired, I'll bail after half an hour), and maybe, on my lunch break, if I take one, buy another pair of shoes. Oh and I might design a program for the symposium in November.
