collaberate?

I've been debating about finding some one to collaborate with ideas on.  I have three stories forming in my head but I can't get anywhere on my own. I need a brain I can bounce ideas off of and who can challenge or add to the story idea.  The challenging thing is finding someone on the same time zone and schedule and some of the same interest in the idea.

Family memembers: as much as I love them, they don't have the creative juice in them and need to focus on their lives. (school, work and such)

Friends: i got some friends who are creative but some don't seem all too intrested in my ideas or they have their own little projects to work.  Plus theres the nasty side effect of working with friends causing the friendship to sour. (so I hear anyways)

So what should I do? Find some random stranger online? Someone from school in the same art classes as I am? It feels risky and I tend to take a while to open up to new people. I'm also iffy about me being too controlling or too much of a people pleaser. I either want it to go my way exactly or I want everyone to be happy. It's tough. A very tough choice.

Should i perhaps find someone who is creative but is stronger in the sence of writing or someone who is a stronger artist than I am?  Should I hire someone? I'm not sure what to do but I do know, having someone I can bounce ideas off of helps. I think better when I talk aloud.
