this is true

The Boy has been ill so we are all up several times at night. Last night the first time, I was dreaming that I was hanging out with Joan Jett at a gig and I wanted her to play "I Love Rock and Roll" but she kept refusing. I got whiney.

Second time, I was at the Burbank Airport check in when up next to me walks Quentin Tarantino. and his wife. with a new baby. So I wanted to talk to him about films but he refused, and I followed him all the way to the plane, begging to talk about films.

Never met Joan or Quentin in real life. Does this mean I am a Whiney Person in the Alternate Reality?

The Secrets Of Don Quixote :
---------------
It was cold hot foggy day with visibility less than zero,
when Sancho happened to ask Don Quixote .
"I have heard people are as sick as their secrets,
is that true Don Quixote?"
Don Quixote pondered the question for but a moment and replied,
"Si Sancho, people are indeed as sick as their secrets, but why
do you ask ? for surly you know that I have only good secrets."

"Si Don Quixote, I was not implying that you would have
any sick secrets or such that are not noble, but having heard the
saying I was moved to ask because as you know I tell you every
thing and I have no secrets at all, and I can not in my shallow
mind understand why any one would want to have secrets, even
noble ones, as it seems to me the only value in having a secret
would be if you could tell it to someone and set it free."

"Sancho, I cannot think of a way to explain to you why a
Knight-errant like myself must hold some secrets even though at
times I almost bust at the seams to set them free."

" Don Quixote, I can understand how it must be a great burden
to carry even one secret, and that you with so many must
have the greatest and most painful load of secrets there
ever was or shall be "

With that Don Quixote let out a loud laugh, and replied..
"It is only the first noble secret that really causes one a problem,
but soon it like a magic potion makes one feel nice and warm,
and secrets become such a delight that the burden is but
a small price to pay for such wonderful treasures.

Sancho then said "I want very much to feel this nice and warm ,
you speak of, and to have some treasures for myself ,
but being I am just a lowly squire I suppose I will
not ever be able to attain such a secret that would bring me the
delight you seem to be full of." thinking to himself that
the Don was indeed full of something, and then he realized
he had a secret and already it was wanting to get free
