About me: I am Alaric at your gates. As I watch my people starve, the children sold into slavery for dogmeat, I keep my eyes locked on the gates of your Great City. No one is hungrier than I am. No people are more worthy than mine. We will see you soon inside the gates of your Great City.
Who I'd like to meet: The Buddha on the road.
...and Jenny in Scotland.
