"Lanna needs"

This is a meme that is going around. How to do it:

Here’s the deal: Do a Google search for “YOUR NAME needs” (don’t forget the quotation marks) and see what comes up. For those of you who are reading this with a brain still stunted by turkey chemicals, when I say YOUR NAME, I literally mean your name, as in “Troy needs” or “Bill needs” or “Jenny needs”, etc.

“Lanna needs” generated 31 results, here are the best:

  • Lanna needs about $25 every week for the gasoline to drive her car to work and school.
  • Lanna needs a major to finish her championship.
  • Lanna needs her bed!
  • you can tell Lanna needs sleep when
  • Why Lanna needs a Job
  • Lanna needs some encouragement
  • Lanna needs Your free Pro account, oh sage one
  • What Lanna needs more than anything is to find challenge, fun and ambition In
    knowledge seeking!
  • Lanna needs furniture
  • Lanna needs to dump Jason and get back togeather with Cleark, don’t ya think.
  • Lanna needs new marines
  • Lanna needs to be The one to plug In plug It

Not sure what that last one was about!

Oh, and bring on the marines!

I got this from Gillian’s Blog.

Best. Score. Ever.

In your face!

NaNoWriMo

Okay, in November I am going to do something Crazy! I am going to write a novel. It may become a crappy novel, but, I am going to write one (dammit!)

The working title is Jesterfest, it will be a murder mystery/romance set at a clown convention. By the way, if you don’t know me too well, I am a clown and I love clowns, so this is not just another way for me to kill off clowns – however, I plan on having fun killing clowns anyway!

To prepare myself, I have made a collage for the book (pictured below). I used pictures of a couple clown conventions I went to plus stuff I got off the web. Isn’t the Internet awesome!

Can I write a book? Sure! Will it suck? Probably! Will I have fun? Definitely!

Now, I am somewhere in the collage. Can you find me? Edmund (my husband) picked me out right away – without any prompting!

(I am actually in two places, but the other place is in one of the group photos in the back and is hard to see even with the naked eye.)

November is National Novel Writing Month
