I'd like to meet:
Online?
Almost no one... I'm just here to keep in touch with my friends, or get back in touch with those I've lost track of.
In general?
Almost anyone! I'd love to meet Robert Kennedy Jr., Al Gore, Bob Dylan, and Ben Taylor, and I'm always excited for an adventure, so I love friends who love to travel! This summer I've seen Brazil, Acadia, and Martha's Vineyard (check out my photos), but I have a lot more of this world to cover:

Heroes:
My mom.
(for putting up with me when I was little; for keeping things fun and exciting even when we had so little; for being an example: finishing college and becoming a successful career woman while raising a child!)
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
(for working his ass off for the environment, and trying with all his heart to make it a non-partisan issue. NO ONE wants to breathe toxic fumes or have mildly-retarded children from eating fish more than once a week -- EVEN IN THE BOUNDARY WATERS.)
Yvon Chouinard, Founder and Owner of Patagonia.
(For being an amazing businessman AND environmentalist. I met him at Boston University. He's only an okay public speaker, but he's still an inspiring person. This is the same talk he gave at Boston University for the tour for his book, "Let My People Go Surfing - The Education of a Reluctant Businessman.")
