Rosie posted once, so I ran over to see what she does, as I do. Right away, I found a meme to love.

Put your first name in Google + likes. See what comes up. Mind, I used my real name, but I will post with my nom-de-blogue, so you will lose some contextual references. Since my given name is rather old fashioned, it shows up in a lot of grammar and ESL sites as an example, and sentences like, "(She) likes gardening, cooking, crafts..." indicating the grandmotherly interests of an earlier generation (for the most part.) Stereotypes come from somewhere. It's also in the name of an old movie, and of a few celebrities.

Same idea, let us know if you try it.

1. Zhoen likes things with bees on them. I once had to wear my National Guard patch, it was a beehive. A source of great amusement to regular army guys.
2.Zhoen likes to eat dinner about nine or ten o'clock at night, usually in bed. I'm usually asleep by then, but sure, I'll take dinner in bed.
3.Zhoen likes plagues. Especially bubonic!
4.Zhoen likes the fantasy of 'coerced sex ... of being blackmailed by a great-looking pig landlord'. Can't say I ever considered it, actually.
5. Zhoen likes to tell about the master who tied up his cat during prayer time. I will tell this story now.
6.Zhoen likes to write. Obviously.
7.Zhoen likes zombies, Cheez-Its, and the American buffalo. ... if they say so...
8.Zhoen likes to eat, sleep, take whirlpool. baths, and watch WWF wrestling. Gosh, all these things I never suspected about myself.
9.Zhoen likes stormy weather apparently. Yes! Yes! Yes!
10.Zhoen likes things the way they are but her husband decides to become a business executive for a soup company. I don't know that D even likes soup that much.

I started on this one but never posted it, perhaps I yet will. Most of my Lucies seemed to be cats or dogs with cute antics, it must be that kind of name. I'm quite surprised there were that many Zhoens on the web, thought you were the only one.

(You don't have to like soup company executive, I think you should enquire more closely...)

Lucy,
ha, don't worry, we all have those days. I get one a week, minimum. Most of the Zhoens (I say with no humility) come right back here. The rest are mostly in other languages, so I don't know what they are about.

Did you come up with any Saint Lucys?

The horses were even more black and glossy in the flesh, mesmerizing.

I am having trouble imagining the context of liking plagues...perhaps there was a plague not mentioned in Egypt just after the locusts..the plague of chocolate mousses...
