riya does absolutely weird tag

2009-03-07T09:05:00.000-08:00

Picked this one off a friend's blog.I'm supposed to Google " (my name) needs" and paste the top ten results I get...I did... and it got really weird. Pardon my asides and interjections within brackets after each result.

1. Riya needs Indiadaily.com!!! (You won't see the fun unless I elaborate on this. The site says: Riya needs help. Sexuality is not just one sided. Lesbian woman should not feel hatred for men!!! Now to tone down the fun, it is Riya Sen that they are talking about!!! Phew)

2. Riya needs Gadgets Page (The software only needs a facial image of 10 pixels to recognize a face, so pictures with 5 or 8 megapixels will provide far more detail than Riya needs - says the site)

3. Recognizing Deven: Need Rockstar Web Designer (Riya needs a Web Designer who will help us develop and optimize our site user experience as well as look and feel - sure she does.. but temme where the rockstar fits in)

4. Riya needs 1 Million Photos in 2 Days (oh how true!!!!! I have hit the jackpot with number 4 finally)

5. Riya needs Web 2.0 watch: Amiglia marries photos and family trees (does Amiglia marry the photos and trees???? sure i would wanna watch. will web 2.0 help??)

6. Riya's thunder thighs stretching her jeans to the LIMIT!! (Nice pic but chubby Riya needs to watch her snacking screams the link.. yes I HATE Riya Sen now. And also HATE the fact that she was named after ME.. MWAHAHAHA)

7. Riya needs Scobleizer — Tech geek blogger (This sure is a treat after the last one. gimme a tech geek anyday...)

8. Riya needs Print Page - My unanswered Prayer (WOW!! this is amazing. I had asked baba for a printer ages ago... and the prayer remains unanswered to this day !! :P)

9. Riya needs Asia Finest Discussion Forum > Hottest Indian Men (First of all it should have been Asia's NOT Asia... lets not go into the rest... )

10 HorsePigCow:: life uncommon: (OH how wonderful!!! *dances gleefully* This one stole the show. Proves that you mustn't underestimate whatever comes last... 'cause they always save the BEST for last. I don't think I need to explain why this is the best of the lot... OK for the dumb brained and the perverted: it is BEST because the animals in question can be used for transport, as food, and if nothing else, then as objects I can sell..teehee)

Letter Meme :P

Dear Solo
I don't really know how to tell you this, but our affair is over. I think I realized it when your dwarf bit me in your closet and I saw you ignore Donald Duck. I'm sure you're cowardly enough to understand that there is no solution to this.. I'm returning your memories from the military service to you, but I'll keep your mom as a memory. You should also know that I never will forget Oprah Winfrey imitations.

Good luck on your short-term leave from jail,

Riya.

How you do the Letter Meme:

Dear Riya

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our affair is over. I think I realized it when I threw up outside of Chicago and I saw you sit at my avocado plant. I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand that Extreme Home Makeover sucks. I'm returning your love letters to you, but I'll keep your collection of butterflies as a memory. You should also know that I always will remember eggplant-fetishism.

Greetings to your frog Leonard

ten things you wish you could say to people right now (don't take names):

i write about the top 10 mean things i wanna say, cuz i know, me and my soft heart too well..these shall remain typed out on tlog and will fail to travel from my mouth to those who deserve them!

10. seriously, when people hang up on you rudely, you are supposed to take the hint and not call back! the same goes for all those whose phones/sms'/emails, etc go unanswered regularly.

9. you realize you are a wannabe...don't you? i mean for fuck's sake you act like different ppl to fit into different groups! it's sad, cuz none of your "friends" are wannabes... you are sad!

8. responsibilities are undertaken to be fulfilled! no matter how careless or lazy or dopey i am, i do all that i volunteer to do, even if i detest the idea 5 steps into it. so what's your problem?

7. he doesn't love you. AT ALL! so stop moping. really... he humps everything with a hole and a pretty face...you don't really feature on the list!

6. for heaven's sake stop tellin me i'm the one who doesn't talk. fights don't really happen as a one sided deal! you fought too and now, if you blame me for my silence (which has been my natural reaction to fights since 1986) please take a hike out of my life. i really don't need to explain it to you!

5. STOP tellin everyone how well you know me...really, you DON'T! you think i would've let someone as stupid as you know me!? ok, let stupid go by, not all are blessed, but aren't really a great human being either. i shall not waste my breath anymore trying to explain to you that you can't know me! i will not allow you to! so, stop pretending!

4. you are not talented. no matter what you think, you are not. so stop making a fool out of yourself. even your fuckin best friend laughs at you the minute your back is turned. have some respect!

3. i don't care. frankly sweetie, your love life, your attention grabbing, oh so (not) funny tales of your past and your sad whimpers don't interest me. seriously, stop thinking i'm your friend. i'm not. my favourite pastime is bitching about you. hell, i blast you with sarcasm when you are around me anyway, don't you ever take a hint!?

2. you are not my friend. no, you cannot hang out with me and my best friends either. its me and them. you do not feature.

1. fuck off. don't ever come back. yes, get pissed... thats what i want. now, while you are at it... walk the other way and jump off a cliff. you are too ugly, stupid, uncreative, undesirable and unlikable. you really do not deserve to exist!

nine things about yourself:

9. i hate ppl who stick to me like leeches. i am someone who enjoys her own private place and solitude. i don't smoke up alone cuz i don't have anyone to smoke up with... i smoke up alone cuz i like it that way. so please, stop intruding!

8. i LOVE shah rukh khan. madly. really.

7. i met joe satriani when he was in kolkata. the autograph that he signed for "solo" is with arunava. i have no qualms or regrets abour giving it to him. i know he respects it more than i ever could.

6. i love cats... to the verge of madness. i feel like i'm the mother of all stray hungry cats. i feel immense affection and love for them. i also go loco about stray dogs. have spent a lot of money feeding them! on the same stream of thought, i, someday plan to open an animal care center for street animals. i cannot tolerate their plight... :(

5. i switch off during conversations that don't appeal to me. and when asked whether i've switched off or not, i inevitably deny it!!

4. i love dope. and i hate people who ask me to stop doping! hellooo! i am 21, i know what moderation is..i'm not a junkie you know..

3. i have an invisible best friend, blue. he owns an ice cream factory.

2. i often think about killing people i hate painfully, very very painfully.

1. i am madly in love with varun :P

eight ways to win your heart:

8. mush filled letters, e-mails or sms', even if its a line... make me smile.

7. love animals. be kind to them.

6. tell me i look pretty even when i wake up in the morning with a fever, puffy eyes and a drool lines on my chin!! :P

5. humour, wit and intelligence. and a dash of chivalry and pride.

4. let me be. don't probe. if i cry, comfort me, if i laugh, join in.. just be there if i ask you to.

3. do not keep telling me over and over and over again. i heard you the first time. whatever you are telling me, was in the past... so don't nag. i'm trying to move on, you should join me...

2. respect my freedom. i haven't been born to be kept locked away in your show case.

1. pamper me. i'm really a 5 yr old mentally!

seven things that cross your mind a lot:

3. been such an awful daughter. my parents deserve better!

2. held back words when i really wanted to blast the hell out of some deserving entity.

1. held back, when i really wanted to say "i care..."

five turn-offs:

5. wannabes, who are very blatantly wannabes!

4. whiners. god, i despise people whining without doing anything to improve the situation they are in.

3. freeloaders. its ok not to spend the way varun does, or i do. but seriously, theres a limit! especially when you have invited yourself over to a party!

2. unimaginative souls! go die!

1. body odour. does do exist. and they aren't terribly expensive either!

four turn-ons:

4. lips. i love full mouths. incredibly sexy. especially when they have a hint of a smile on them...

U USE the title as a proof that you are brainy
V VALUE your proof no matter what they say about it
W WORK no more, just live off the royalty that the proof brings
