My idea of famous people, I realize, is far different than most people’s. I fantasize about meeting authors and bloggers mostly. Here are some I’d love to meet (in no particular order in each category):
Not to sound too crazy…I’d love to be best friends/neighbors and have a knitting circle at least once a week with:
Grace Lin
Alana Chernila
Philippa Boyens
I’d love to have a long afternoon tea chat with:
Shannon Hale
Amanda Blake Soule
I’d love to have a casual “interview” with:
Jane Goodall
LeVar Burton
Annie Leonard
I’d love to have a crazy, silly adventure with:
SARK
Amy Karol
I’d love to play a group board game with:
Michael Cera
Elijah Wood and all the other three hobbits from LOTR
I’d love to have fun dancing on a dance floor with:
Steve Carrell
Drew Barrymore
Rashida Jones
No doubt, I’ll think of more. So, if you’re famous, and, of course, spending your time reading my blog (ha!), don’t feel left out. And these names, I’m realizing, can move between categories and overlap quite a bit, so no worries Michael Cera–You are totally invited to the dance floor, and Philippa–Heck ya, you can join me and the hobbits for a board game.
But, mostly, really, since all my bestest of friends are from such different times of my life and live all scattered about, wouldn’t it be rad to have all of them in one place? Maybe this is why people throw such big weddings, instead of a self-uniting marriage in the forest. hmmm…
