Nicotine

A year in the future, I'd like to meet a sports fan.

1. "I need some coffee and a smoke". I can manage without a cigarette most of the time, but I absolutely hate being all-out of coffee.
2. Being an honest asshole and having a somewhat bizarre sense of humor.
3. I'd visit George Washington, just to bask in the sight of his gallant stroke! (I'd also most probably dig his snuff, but shh...)
4. Some small village in a rocky, mountainous region. Where you know everyone, but still after years of trying to learn their native language there's no way in hell you'd ever understand them fully.
5. Poverty. Wishful thinking though.

6. "Leben an Orbelain" - now in Sindarin!
