Here's a very quick meme that I saw over at Allsorts.
Google the words "unfortunately,______", inserting your first name into the blank. I cheated a wee bit. My first name is Harriett, so I tried that first, but apparently there's a book called "Unfortunately Harriet" and there were nothing but references to the book, so then I tried Anne (the name I go by), but there were nothing but references to Anne Frank, which I found a bit depressing; so I went with Annie, which is what my family calls me.
Here's what I found:
Unfortunately, Annie and The Hedonists are, as I mentioned above, not well known outside of upstate New York
Unfortunately, Annie is left to realize a man isn't always interested in a woman
Unfortunately, Annie loses all the money they win betting on horses
Unfortunately, Annie’s superior shooting abilities play havoc with Butler’s delicate ego
Unfortunately, Annie returned and abducted Reva, leaving her in an abandoned airplane to plummet to her death
Unfortunately, Annie discovers that he has been out of his room and she punishes him
Unfortunately, Annie finds the gardening tool in her uncle’s shed
Unfortunately, Annie is soon caught and returned to the orphanage
Unfortunately, Annie's lustful eye fell upon the young man
Unfortunately, Annie weighed on Alex's mind and he left Lorna at the altar
Unfortunately, Annie gets the blame for this, too
Unfortunately, Annie was already in the cage and ready for their co-ed tag team match.
My favourite is the last one.
I think these describe me very accurately. Except maybe for the "superior shooting ability" - but then again, I've never fired a gun, so you never know...
