Name four people, dead/alive/fictional, you would dine with, and why?


Here are mine:

Johnny Carson
Jim Morrison
Gautama Buddha
Carl Sagan

why?

I love Johnny's personality and wit.

Because Jim is hot!

Buddha because he can show me the way to inner peace.

Carl because he has an incredible mind, and I am interested in cosmology. And he is hot!

I just realized all the people I want to have dinner with are dead. Well since that is the case add my Grandmother because I miss her and I am sure the group would enjoy her.

Adolf Hitler, Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Stewie Griffin. Over crumpets, tea, and a game of Risk. We'll see who'll rule the world... I imagine not all of us will survive. But I'll be taking bets!

Leonard Cohen because he's my favourite poet ever and I also love his music.

Bruce Springsteen because he's my favourite rock musician.

Judy Loman since she's one of the best harpists in the world.

Daniel Levitin (He wrote the book, This is your brain on music.) He's a musician and a neuropsychologist who studies how music affects the brain.

I think it would be fun to get foour very different perspectives on the musical creative process, and we could have one heck of a jam session.

1. **** Van Dyke (Altough I wouldn't really be able to eat anything, lest it come shooting back out my nose.)
2. Pope John Paul the II (I believe that man was incredibly wise, compassionate and understanding. I have many questions for him.)
3. Julie Andrews (Her voice... my God her voice...)
4. Bing Crosby (His voice too... maybe they would sing a duet after dinner? LOL Plus he had 'sparkly eyes'. I swear, the sparkle in of the eyes measures the soul.)
I think I was born just a little too late...

My list would be:

All four are profound influences on my thinking. I would love to garner their impressions of our modern society.

Dave Letterman, because he's eccentric & charming...(& I have the hots for him...)

Drew Barrymore, because I have read fascinating articles about her!!!

A child, to mix it up and make it sweet

And the author of that book about the bipolar doctor, the autobiography of her life...I live vicariously through her that she can do so much good with this difficult illness

Justin Furstenfeld (Blue October singer/songwriter/guitarist) because he seems really interesting and alot of the stuff he's written sounds like things I write about

My younger self (like around 12) to fix certain parts of my younger selfs future/my past (confused yet? lol)

Kurt Cobain: not really sure why

A certain friend of mine that sometimes worries me a little, that I'd like to just sit and talk with for a long time (a "heart to heart" conversation or whatever its called lol)

No one. Because I usually prefer eating alone. Mainly because whenever I do eat with people it's with my family and they can be soooo annoying I am usually better off eating alone. And the family members I would like to dine with are so far off I wouldn't be able to. If I got to pick a family member though I'd probably pick my cousin and aunt Rosanne. Oh, and my Grandma Liditzia. Because I miss Aunt Roseanne and my cousin makes me happy, and because my grandma has the most entertaining stories to tell, and it's so funny watching my cousin, aunt and grandma all at the same time argue to no end, And since my aunt Roseanne doesn't care about my brother she lets me insult him all I want. So does my cousin, he even tries to influence me into waking him up whilst he's asleep.
