Fantasy Shags!!?? Having seen Stephen Merchant doing stand-up in a little comedy club in Soho I would say you could do a lot better! He is a rather odd looking chap – but was very funny!
I share two of your fantasy boyfriends, John and Jermaine.
I recently discovered Lynda Barry and want to devour every word she’s ever written. Now.
Seattle is the top one places I’ve never been that I want to go.
I have a half-full and a full bottle of olive oil in the pantry, usually at all times. (“usually at all times – oxymoron?)
I miss the flip flop in the fall/winter aspect of Tampa.
We should totally be friends.
Glen Hansard’s on my list too…though he shares it with four women =)
I am feeling you on the “all my friends there” list items. Also the warm-weather gear.
