Feeling a little...um...yeah...

# Hours awake - 16
# Cups of Coffee - 4, I think...It's been a long day
# Hours spent staring at the wall in what I tell myself is deep thought

I've been sitting here for sometime thinking. A couple of days ago was the 28th birthday of my ex-girlfriend of 1 year, 2 days. We hadn't spoken since sometime around the end of April. She had missed calling me on my birthday but I kind of felt that wishing her a happy one was the right thing to do. I sent her an email stating as much and hoping she was well. A day or two later I got a response of her thanking me (sarcastically) for doing that cause she now felt bad for not calling me as I plopped an extra candle on the cake. Long story short, she asked me what I had been up to and her response to that was that she was leaving town to have her family and her child.

Now hold on a second folks. For those of you keeping score, he/she obviously isn't going to have my eyes but at the same time... he/she isn't going to have my eyes.

It's a strange feeling to be at work and read your future that could have been. It's the first time I've ever been in a position where someone I know and still care about deeply is leaving town and I know deep down that I will never see them again.

SO, in honor of this feeling I've decided to ask you (the reader) to tell me, whom do you want to meet? If it could be anyone from all of history or even anyone from your block as a kid...tell me, who would it be. There will obviously be extra points for originality and sentimentality and keep in mind dear reader, the grand prize is still up for grabs.

Being the good blogger that I am (don't laugh) I will start you all off. Try to keep your responses to a similar format:

Person I would most like to play tetherball with: Natalie Portman circa Beautiful Girls.

Person I would most like to get one more day with: My old friend Amanda W. - you left us too soon.

Person I would most like to read The Hobbit with: The son I hope one day to be around for.

People I would like to be the unexpected guest: JB, anyone who's been referred to as a figment of an imagination, anyone with a genuine smile and comes baring chocolate.

Thanks, S
