A hard-headed woman and a lot of scientists to ask them some questions.
I'm literally waiting out every 20+ year-old female on the planet.

Do yourself a damn favor and watch "The Private Life of Plants" with David Attenborough. You know how people watch something and say: "Boy, really makes ya think"? Well, those people probably saw this. You can watch the whole series free on a site called "Veoh", where you have to download some crap. It's well worth it though. You can watch it without downloading on Tv-links. Enjoy... It's long so pace yourself.

I admire more people than most, I think. I'm not afraid to tell someone I know, or have just met an hour prior, what I think of them. Mainly if it's positive anyway. If someone has been making me laugh all night long I'll let them know they've been doing so, just in case they haven't noticed. If they say something inspiring or provocative I'll be sure to let them know I'm thinking about it. If I observe someone doing something considerate or thoughtful for someone else I try to let 'em know it wasn't done in vain. I would'nt say I have heroes as much as I... (I have no idea why this got cut off, but it did, and I dont remember what I was trying to say, so rather than try and recapture the moment, I'll just leave this instead)
Let's just say without reverence there wouldn't be irreverence.
