i would choose this:

Charlie Johnson, a man who I respect very much, has a blog that I occasionally read. Charlie has an incredible story, and an outrageously unique view on life and people. He's living in the western cape of South Africa and is among a handful of people that we will be visiting during our trip to SA this February. He and his new wife, Deborah, are adopting a 9 year old boy they met in the informal settlement of Kayamundi . All of them are HIV positive. Charlie and Deborah are some of my favorite people, even though I hardly know them.

Anyway, Charlie's blog is an absolute crack up at times, and is absolutely heartbreaking at others. There is one entry in particular that I love to read over and over. Charlie is describing what it was like to meet a certain guy that he had been looking forward to meeting for quite some time. Here's what he says about him:

"I finally connected with Francois De Kock, what a trippy guy! I like him a lot!!!!!!! He is full of shit but anything is possible to him."

If I could have anyone describe me in 2 sentences or less, I would choose that description. In fact I wouldn't mind if it ended up written on my gravestone.

"What a trippy girl. She is full of shit but anything is possible to her."

I'm so jealous of Francois De Kock.
