Journal Entry Type #118: For Those I Would Love to Meet

Posted on 01/04/2022 by Pisaries Creator

With Betty White passing just prior to turning 100 in January, here is a list of 10 people I would have loved to meet in person for those still alive and those already gone. I’m sure the list will change by the end of this year. I should do a comparison in December 2022. I will also compile a list of famous people I’ve seen because why not. Okay, so it’s not so much writing but that’s what my next JET will be.

The ten people I would’ve loved to meet in person already gone are the following in no particular order.

Joan of Arc
Albert Einstein
Kahlil Gibran
Freddie Mercury
Edgar Allan Poe
Queen Elizabeth I
Bruce Lee
Emily Dickinson
Alexander the Great
Anaïs Nin

The ten people I would love to meet in person still alive and actually talk to are the following in no particular order.

Dwayne Johnson
Cate Blanchett
Brian Williams
Bindi Irwin
Tom Hanks
Tina Fey
Michelle Obama
Uma Thurman
Conan O’Brien
Liz Cheney

The people I’ve seen but never talked or said very minimal to are the following in no particular order and the musicians I saw at concerts. I keep adding onto this list because I remember them when I’m trying to sleep. I can’t believe my memory is that good and bad.
