I'd like to meet:

Anybody that is nice. I don't like consistently closed off people. Its hard to penetrate and it makes my own bubbles pop.My future self. Just for a teeny weeny clue. Not a big one, just a teeny weeny one. Like the lottery numbers to the powerball when its 128 million.

Gone With the Wind. Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The Notebook. Stranger than Fiction Pocket Full of Wishes Nothing Western
