My Imaginary Real Life Friends

So my fascination with people often makes me think who of all those people out there would I really like to meet one on one...and would we like each other?  Random thought process, but that's how I work.  There are too many to think of at one time so I'm just going to whip up 10 names of people I know I've been interested in before.  I'd list several religious historical figures in this, but there are so many on that list it would take too long.  Yes, I am including deceased historical figures.

  1. George Washington.  Great man.
  2. Marie Antoinette.  A lot of rumors about this queen, but she still fascinates me.
  3. John Williams...so he can write my life soundtrack and make it sound more interesting than it really is. 
  4. Walt Disney.  He could turn my stories into a hit international sensation overnight and make them musical sensations.
  5. Mother Theresa.  Amazing woman.  That's all I have to say.
  6. Emily Dickinson...to share our poetry.
  7. Jane Austen...so I can have the chance to reject a proposal and accept one.
  8. Lucille Ball.  Comedy...making people laugh...love it.  I dreamed once of being a Lucille Ball prodigy.
  9. Sutton Foster.  After seeing her at a concert, I am totally convinced she'd be one who would most likely draw that less known wild side out of me.
  10. The British Royal family.  Just wondering if with my reserved personality and theirs, would we even be able to hold a conversation?  Brief questions and one worded--or short sentenced--answers.  That would sum it up.
I mentioned above that it would be a one-on-one situation that this would have to happen because when I meet anyone with a large group of people, I tend to slip into the shadow and just listen to others talking.  I am easily overlooked and unnoticed in those situations.  The persons of interest would never know I was there.

Incidentally, an Idina Menzel concert is coming later this year and I am looking forward to it.  It was tempting to include her on the list as well, but I'd have to include a good number of other Broadway stars if I did so.  I'll be the one sitting quietly still in serious reflection...I internalize music like water to a sponge.
