Real Person Living: Gordon Ramsey; he seems like a really interesting fellow and someone who can 1) hold an intelligent conversation, and 2) is pretty down to earth in spite of his success.
Real Person Dead: Not my father, actually. It would be too emotional for me to enjoy it. Robert A. Heinlein, my favorite sci fi author, the cantankerous old bastard.
Fictional Person: Hmm. Hard one. The Doctor might be cool, but I'd be too busy scoping out the Tardis. I think I'd have to go with Jean Luc Picard. He's a guy who's had a lot of adventure and tons of great stories, but is well educated and urbane at the same time, and we share a love of history and archaeology.They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.

Real Person Living: The Queen of England - I would love to know what goes on in her head.
Real Person Dead: My father-in-law. He died before I met my hubby so I never knew him. Hubby always says we would have hit it off.
Fictional person: Jimmy the Hand. Character from Raymond E Feists Midkemia series of books. A thief, a rouge and a scoundrel, and the right hand of the prince - Awesome guy!"When did you get a gold plated toilet?"

And I don't know if my comment makes me a purist. I'd go for the title of "Semanticist," though. And I have no idea if that's actually a word or if I just made it up. I do notice, however, that my computer did NOT highlight it as an incorrect word.
It just reminded me of a scene in Scarecrow & Mrs. King in season 1 where Amanda referred to herself as a "Junior Agent" and Lee corrected her with "*apprentice* Agent". ... and Amanda's grin & reply of "Purist!"

Real person living - Billy Connolly. He just seems like the sort of guy you could just sit and listen to him tell stories about his life and where he's been for hours.
Real person dead - Freddie Mercury. I'd love to hear where some of his inspiration came from and listen to his stories about being the frontman for Queen.
Fictional person - I had this all sorted in my brain until my boyfriend came up with an even better idea. So I'm split between Harry Dresden (my original idea) and Tyrion Lannister"I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere and I'm here for the hell of it now"

Real Person Living - Jack Whyte of the author of the Authurian series. Brilliant books to a point. And he's Scottish-Canadian! He'd love the pub I hang out at!
Real Person Dead - My Grandmother on my Mom's side - I'd love to know how to control the powers I have that she had! It's disturbing sometimes!
Fictional Person - Walt from Breaking Bad! Just 'cause he's sooo bad! And (if I might) Jesse from Breaking Bad ('cause I think he needs a hug!)No... Just No! And I mean it this time!

Mom would be first and foremost, I miss that spunky Irish gal! But a lot of us have that one family member. Andara took my historical figure, so: da Vinci. Seriously, some of that stuff is wtf! even for today, much less the 15th century.

I had to think about this for a while:
Real person living - Anthony Bourdain. I want to talk to him about his travels and the attitudes toward food in different parts of the world and what we're missing here.
Real person dead - Jane Austen. I want to talk to her about being an author in a time when that wasn't considered acceptable for women to do and see what she thinks about how things are for women now.
Fictional person - Jadzia Dax. I want to talk to her about her different lives and all the "history" she saw develop.The original Cookie in a multitude of cookies.

Quoth TOLady View PostBTW - Everyone is going for Tyrion. I would much rather actually like to sit down with Arya! She's so much more interesting (but I'm only 2/3 through the 1st book).
