Richardology – A study of the author of Forbidden Planet
In the past I have invited fellow bloggers to lie for me, to participate in a friend's survey and to ask for prayers.This time around, I invite you to fill in the blanks. I got the meme from Hotel Solace a long time ago.
Cut and paste the paragraph below and fill in the blanks with the appropriate adjectives/ nouns /verbs/phrases. You can be brutally honest about this - I promise you would not be silenced after this exercise. :)
In case you are wondering, this is NOT a narcissistic attempt to fish for compliments. Negative comments will not be censored. The objective of this word game is to see how creative you guys are, and what you REALLY think of me.
Can be quite amusing to see what you come up with. Here goes....
I ___(1)____ Richard.
Richard is ____(2)____.

When I think of ____(4)____, I think of Richard.
