books, traveling, hula hoops, red wine (esp Italian & French), French bread, books, killing houseplants, cheeeeeese, books, my compound miter saw, Tigger, Starbucks lattes, books, wasting time on the Internet, salsa dancing, snorkeling, and oh yeah, did I mention BOOKS?
I'd like to meet:
Uh....Stephen King, so I can slap him silly over that disappointing end to the Dark Tower series. George Clooney, because he's smokin' hot and I'd love to jump his bones. Laura J (now Laura W), because she was my best friend in high school and I still feel bad for being such a bitch on New Year's about ten years ago. President Bush, so I can explain to him (in very small words) that it's pronounced nu-CLEE-er, not nu-kew-ler, and that there is no such thing as a fucking penunchula. That would be "peninsula," you idiot. Is English your first language? Jesus.
This cracks me up every single time...
