Writing, reading, organizing things with labels!, driving around aimlessly in new places (and shopping in new places), and economic/sociological based discussions.
You Are A Green Girl
You feel most at home in a world of ideas.
You're curious and logical - and enjoy a good intellectual challenge.
You're super cool, calm, and collected. Very little tries your patience.
Your only fear? People not realizing how smart and able you are! What Color Girl Are You?
OH MY GOD did this thing just say "very little" tried my patience? WOW. I think you have to have patience for it to be "tried."
Franklin D. Roosevelt in his pre-World War II days to discuss his then-experimental social programs
Economists everywhere who forecast and plan accordingly.
Ralph Waldo Emerson for an infusion of heighty, hedonist transcendentalism.
Michael Moore. If he thought Flint was suffering in his 1989 film "Roger and Me," I'd love to see what he had to say about Detroit, Saginaw, Flint, and...well, the rest of Michigan in 2008. In addition, even though the CEO would rarely make personnel decisions regarding GM, maybe we could track down Rick Wagoner and talk about the components of effective corporate governance.
Tennessee Williams because he's such a creative, twisted literary genius.

I watch the news, and yes, I already know it's biased.
Books are a huge part of my life! I LOVE British Postcolonial Literature for its restrained passion(Dickens, Bronte, Austen), American Transcendentalist Literature (Thoreau, Emerson) and Realist (20th c. American) Literature for its truly bittersweet endings (D.H. Lawrence, Henry James).
Some of my favorite books are those involving intrapersonal conflict and psychological epiphanies.
My BOYS are my heroes for their innocence and honesty.
