When not trying to save the world, I enjoy reading, writing, yoga, rollerblading, throwing themed parties, jogging, producing music videos, among many other things.

I'd like to meet:
Teddy Roosevelt: "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but it is morally treasonable to the American public."
Winona LaDuke: "There is no social-change fairy. There is only change made by the hands of individuals."
Barack Obama: "We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States, and yes, we've got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq, and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq."
Russ Feingold, no cool quote, just like him.
