Why I admire Stu
He is one of the most honest people I’ve ever encountered on 43 Things.
It seems like every entry from Stu either inspires me or makes me laugh out loud. If I ever find myself on the other side of the pond I might have to look him up!
Well, if there is even the off-chance that we will be traveling together by motorbike in the summer of 2009, it might be a good idea to meet! :) He is also intelligent and discriminating enough to appreciate the superlative qualities of all things Nordic. All of his goals (with the exception of #32, which he claims is not his fault) demonstrate reflection and a commitment to self-improvement. And trying to figure out this goat thing is driving me crazy!
He seems kind, genuine, and real. It also looks like we have a few “things” in common (or at least similar “things” on our lists). Plus, I wouldn’t mind traveling…and if I hadn’t run across Stu, it might never have occurred to me to travel to (how do you spell it?) Loughborough, home to what appear to be some of the most spontaneously wacky people in the world:
I mean, really. Maybe they’d recognize the “Goddess of Google” and take me out for a proper English tea. Or throw socks at me. Or something.
Come to think of it, I’m 98.7% sure, now, that I know where those missing socks my washer ate have gone. Must go meet Stu; maybe he’ll help me find them.
Sarah – of course – and we only met briefly – we only needed him to carry the books home!
