Are you a Needer or a Haver?
March 12, 2010 | 1 Comment
On my chest I have a red sticker that reads, “William, $800, No Control Freaks.†(Yes, there is a story behind this, but I won’t go into that now.) Red because I am a Needer (this is all very well organized by Trish, who found a place two years ago but still organizes these meetups because she enjoys them). Gradually, a few more people turn up with blue stickers (Havers) that say things like “Jed, $850, Bernal Heights, no cats†and, “Julie, $1000, West Portalâ€. At last there is a more equal ratio, but there still aren’t many people in my price range.
