Heroes:
Sue Johanson from the Sunday Night Sex Show and Talk Sex (on Oxygen). she is a sweet little grandma-type person who gives frank advice about all sexual matters. she is the greatest.
Ms. Sophia Caramagno, my 10th grade World Civilizations teacher.
..
she is arguably the best teacher I've had.. I enjoyed every day I walked into her room. She used to tell stories about Napoleon and Marie Antoinette as if they were her family members... and we did all types of activities and simulations to really experience how people lived through history. I'll never forget the WWI trench warfare activity, when we bombarded each other with crumpled paper "hand grenades" from behind our carefully constructed desk-trenches. however, 2005 was her last year at my school.. she's in Sacramento now. I wish her luck. she will be missed.
Jack White of the awe-inspiring White Stripes.
..
he is my celebrity sex god. I've seen him (and his lovely sister Meg) in concert three times. His music moves me... his voice makes me fall in love all over again. And, oh yeah he's pretty good lookin'... *swoons*... rock on, dear Jacky.
