Anna Riley, wish number one

2nd February 2004, terribly early in the morning | Comments (33)

I have a very clear idea of what my ideal partner will be like, and I’ve just seen an almost perfect representation of her in a film called Keeping the Faith. Jenna Elfman is the actress, Anna Riley is the character, and I am recording this here for the day I get my Three Wishes…
