I want to be Meg Ryan.
I want a harry to my sally. I am definitely too chicken to do the same trick sally pulled at the diner, but I am absolutely up for the conversations – no matter if we disagree. I want that long drive and the phone calls and the visit to the museum. I’m not sure I have the luxury of time, but a string of bad relationships before THE good one might actually be worth it.
I want to be Meg Ryan. I have never wanted to be a doctor, but it would be cool to have someone want to give up a great deal for the love of me. He doesn’t have to look like Nicolas Cage. No, please no
I want to be Meg Ryan. I’d welcome an old-fashioned and sophisticated Leopold who seems ahead of my time. I am difficult to sweep off my very feet, but I want to see someone give it a try anyway. Exciting.
I want to be Meg Ryan. I want someone who could engage me in a conversation about nothing. Again, I am not sure I buy the idea of any random guy being the future male of my life, but I have always been in love with everything Tom Hanks, so go figure.
I would have wanted to be Ellen Pompeo, too. Not Meredith Grey; that doctor has issues I never get. Ellen Pompeo makes a living out of kissing Patrick Dempsey! I couldn’t be more jealous if I tried. But her fiancé isn’t so cute…
Yeah. There.

Have you heard of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor who wrote the current bestseller “My Stroke of Insight”? Taylor was a Harvard trained brain scientist who suffered a massive stroke. I don’t think we’ll ever hear a story like this – Taylor understands how the brain functions and she was able to observe her mind deteriorating. She writes about the euphoric nirvana and a sense of complete peace and well-being she discovered in her stroke and she talks about this in her incredible (don’t miss it) talk on TED.com. In the book, Taylor explains how to ’step to the right of their left brain’ to uncover a deep internal peace. Meg Ryan was in the audience when Dr. Taylor gave her speech at TED… hey, maybe she’ll do the movie and we’ll all be able to “have what she’s having” to reprise that line from When Harry Met Sally : ) Sign me up!
