I'd like to meet:
Myself from the alternate dimension where Rome never fell.
Any of my MySpace friends that I have never met in the flesh,
Maggie Gylenhaal, Claire Forlani, KaDee Strickland, and Scarlett Johannson.
The @$$hole who broke into my car on Newbury Street in Boston back in 1998 and stole my camera.
Someone who still believes the world is flat, oh, I forgot, I formerly worked with most of those people.
