I’ve often wanted to find a large box in my room on a boring afternoon. Please send me through **The Phantom Tollbooth** and beyond. I want to eat crunchy letters and jump to Conclusions! ---

I need a week or two in Rivendell. After that I might be ready for something more adventurous. ---

Anne of Green Gables. Heck one of these days I’m probably going to spend real money to see Prince Edward Island, so much better to do it in a 19th century idyll. I want to be 13 years old please. I don’t think Gilbert Blythe would be interested in a 43 year old. Anne won’t mind, she hates him. Anne will be so happy to meet a real kindred spirit like me.
