If you had a chance to have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be and why. Be extremely thorough.
I think I would have dinner with Anne Boleyn. I have always had a fascination with that time in History and I think that she would be a wonderful person to talk to. I have read a few historical fiction books, one from the perspective of Catherine of Aragon and one from the perspective of Annes sister, Mary. Anne Boleyn seemed as calculating, ambitious and strong as any other male in her time, and in a time period where women hardly meant more than a good bed partner, I really admire her in this respect. I absolutley love reading about the Court life; the banquets, the dancing, the malice, the backstabbing and I think hearing stories about this time first hand would be amazing. If I could have lived back then I would have hoped to have been the daughter of a Duke, with fine clothes and getting to attended all these lavish banquets. Getting to talk to this really strong women would make me feel really empowered and strong myself.

I'm not sure if I answered that completely up to your standards. Ask if you want to know anymore and I'll expand on my answer.
