Umm.. Am I the only one who senses a vague redundancy in asking "about" us and then following that with "Interests" and then proceeding to specific categories like"Music", "Movies", etc.? It's like they're deliberately courting monotone.... If you didn't read the other categories, perhaps you should.
Oscar Wilde once said "Some cause joy wherever they go; others, whenever they go." I'm interested primarily in the former, unless the infectious joylessness is due to an embittered, vitriolic wit. Then I'm all over them. *AHEM* Most people are answering this with very specific persons they'd like to meet. In their honor, I'll say Meryl Streep, but only if she's got hours to spend with me (no pun intended), Gore Vidal if he's nice, Stephen Sondheim on any terms at all, Woody Allen, Sidney Lumet, Peter O'Toole and, for drool factor, Brad Pitt, Ryan Philippe and "Trevor" from Sean Cody's site.
This is some seriously funny shit!
