I'd like to meet:

RIP, Molly Ivins. You were the big sister I never had. You taught me the be uppity and proud and smart and strong, and fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. You taught me to vote. You left us too soon - third time wasn't the charm after all. I hope you're watching when Shrub leaves office, and I hope you have a good bottle of whiskey to toast the revolution. I'll see you when I get there; save me a seat at the bar.http://edition.cnn.com/2007/US/01/31/obit.ivins.ap/
What kind of yarn are you really??

You are a wonderful fluffy novelty yarn. Take your pick! Lots of fun and full of exhuberance. You are very social and mix well with all types of people. Very playful and endearing.
