I just love reading her posts. Witty, philosophical and intelligent. I admire her goals. She’s an eyeful to look at and I have to admire anyone who wants to inject caffein straight into her veins. Yeah, she seems pretty cool to me! :)

I came across him on 43things when he posted a comment on an entry about my goal stop homophobia. This comment still has me thinking!
I’ve been keeping track of him for the past 2 weeks and have been watching him spreading light all over the place. Everybody loves him and how could you not? He’s the true and genuine original.
Thanks for making me think George!

We met in university, we both study history. We first met during a class of medieval history. The first thing he said to me was “please don’t do that here!” when I wanted to light a cigarette during our break. I was intimidated, I didn’t know anyone and I hastily oblliged. Later I found out he had been grumpy because he had just quit smoking. When we got to know eachother a little more we discovered we liked the same music. We exchanged cd’s, but then I got sick and didn’t come to classes anymore for that year. Then I was raped and was feeling very depressed. When I first came to classes again he was there too and we picked up where we left of, becoming better and better friends. I could really talk to him. He touched my soul in a very profound way, but I wasn’t thinking about falling in love with anybody at that point yet. We had picnics, lots of coffee, went to a concert, saw movies and then one night when I was at his place and we were watching Ninth Gate I suddenly realised I was very much in love with him. A few seconds later he kissed me and we’ve been together ever since. He is my soulmate and I am his. He brings out the best in me and we’re still having conversations deep into the night, enjoying music and movies together, enjoying live together.

I try to keep up with her postings as much as possible because the things she writes are intelligent, witty, insightful and original whether it’s about pondering potatoes or the state of the world. She has pretty eyes too :)

I admire him for not being black and white on issues but having differentiated opinions.
I admire him for the way he voiced his opinions: not shouting them for everyone to hear, but subtle, seeing possible compromises, realising we can’t all get exactly what we want and should take in account what other people want and need. A true democrat if ever there was one.

He was really nice. He noticed my Roxy Music t-shirt and gave me and my boyfriend an autograph in our copy of his famouz photographs. He seems the perfect neighbour, I think he’s really quiet. Then some Australian people who were doing a documentary about him asked us some questions for the camera and that was it. We met Anton because a familyfriend did a publicity project for the dutch version of the good samaritans. He asked Anton to get involved and he did. He shot famous hands (as in hands reaching out, helping hands) and made this into 8 postcards that you can get for free at every postoffice. We asked to be put on the guestlist, but once we were at the presentation it seemed weird to approach Anton until he started to sign some of the cards.
