Tara of Coffee Crochet posted this fun thing on her blog. You go to Google, type in “[your name] needs” and list the best.

Here we go.

Amanda needs…(check out another Amanda’s list) (and another Amanda)(yet another)

1…Amanda needs a mom in her corner with lots of time and attention to give to her.

2…Amanda Needs You to Map Yourself (if you are an Amanda doing the “Amanda needs” search, then go  on over to Cheezwerks and add yourself to her map! Only 2 lonely Canadians out there!)

3…Amanda needs to be loved.

4… Upgraded Amanda needs a small config change. (lol don’t we all?)

5… amanda shouldn't need X11 (now that’s funny)

6…AMANDA needs to know some characteristics of the tape media. (ha ha ha)

7…Now Amanda needs a loving home with someone who understands cats and will be….(click here to see the puddy this shelter is talking about. She looks just like my Denver!)

8…Amanda needs a home environment, which can combine loving acceptance, and firm limits.

9…”Amanda meets Marcus again, as the Duke of Yarborough. Marcus needs a governess for his sister Daphne and it just so happens that Amanda needs a job, so she accepts.” (excerpt from a book, The Magic Token)

10…Amanda needs a family.

11…I think amanda needs to be recompiled on landon (an ancient but good debian system) and copied to office (ancient and slow).

12… Amanda needs to read Barbara Bush's speech to Wellesley graduates given in 1990. First she needs to "believe in something larger" than herself. Then she must find the joy in life. As Mrs. Bush says, "it's supposed to be fun." Third, she should "cherish" her human connections which "are the most important investments you will ever make." Let Bob go off and conquer the world and slay the dragons with her blessings, which might serve to make the time she does share with him all the more precious. And if Bob is smart, and I'm sure he is, he'll realize where his priorities lie, as a much needed and loved member of a family.

13…Amanda needs to release her grip on this past and move on.

14…Amanda needs wisdom & strength to do what is right. ...

15…According to Sunde, Amanda needs Vip for support and reassurance. (Amanda is a gorilla!)

16…Amanda needs nonacademic colleagues as a reality check

17…Amanda needs her local food bank to put food on the table for herself and her
daughter

18…Amanda needs a wise friend to tell her that this too shall pass.

19…Amanda needs to rebuild her life.

20…Amanda's needs are my special needs. She teaches me daily about life, and not to take one precious moment of it for granted.

Ok, there is a robot called Amazing Amanda. I’m not kidding. And apparently she has needs too….Amanda needs to know the time so that she can schedule activities, know when it’s time to go to bed – and know when it’s Christmas, New Year, or Mother’s Day!

I know the meme is for 10, but I found this fun. There are many needy Amandas out there. AMANDA is a program and a robot. There are books and essays about Amanda. And some cats are named Amanda too. So there you go.

This one is the best.

Amanda needs to be very very disgusting in order to make Babe look good. (I think Amanda is a soap opera character? )
