    When I read the paper today I saw that a girl I went to high school with is in a movie. She and I took the same drama classes. For me it was just a fun class to take....for her it was training. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2363977/ I'm happy for her, and I'm not surprised. She's beautiful and talented.

    Oh but so far she is really only famous in my town. ;)

    So....do you know anyone famous?

    I know a few senators, also.

    I also knew MC Hammer at one time in my life-haha. My uncle worked for him-I guess I also met a lot of famous people at that time-I was young, what the hell did I know.
    I know Johnny Wright (producer for a lot of pop singers)

    I have run into Julia Roberts in Woodstock, CT. She is pretty down to earth.

    I sort of hung out with Aaron Lewis once at the Cape-he has a beach house down there and when I was walking along the beach, I accidently went onto his private beach-he was cool about it, though-so we sat on the beach and talked for a bit.

    Many many kickboxers of repute. Kit Kope being the most famous. I think he was on MTV's real life a few years ago.

    My ex-boyfriend is up in Boston in film school and one day I'm sure he'll be a famous producer. And his aunt and uncle were assistant producers for Beavis and Butthead and those annoying Clearasil commercials with the zitty cartoon chick and that creepy professor that was always stalking her with that zit creme. They also did some Oreo commercials. But alas, none of them are famous and I wasn't even allowed to visit the weekend his aunt and uncle were visiting. So, no...I don't know anyone famous.

    I know Fred and Shelby Vogel and Angela Bettis. My friend was just in a movie: August Underground's Penance. He gets choked and has coins thrown at him.


    That's about it.

    not extremely well, but i suppose there are several people i'm on as much speaking terms with as anyone else i am, who might be considered mildly famous.

    ha! there is someone who does tend to go rather on about her misperception of the cercomstances under which i accidently stepped on her foot. rather a good writer whome many of her works i like a lot, though not someone who'se outlook on life otherwise i share any too closely.

    pryde of chanure and faided sun kesrith are among her better known published works.

    i guess there's a bunch of people i've run into here and there who have been to varying degrees somewhat more widely known among the joe sixpacks of this world, but i can't say as i really KNOW any of them. not like hanging out over at their house or them at mine or anything like that.

    there was that child star before i was born, who later in life was made an ambassador, who used to eat at a little place in a very small town where everybody knew everybody where i grew up in. but that was rather a long time ago now. and then there was a guy who always used to stop and give me a ride in his bently whenever he happened to be driving by and saw me walking, that was also back in that same town. i never new much about him except that he was supposedly some sort of steamship company board memeber or retired ceo or something. that was kind of a long time ago too.

    Not really, well apart from a few Finnish politicians that are friends of my parents. Oh and one of my old school mates is on Finnish Big Brother right now, hahah.

    And Nick Cave used to live next door from me. Or I lived next door from Nick Cave... he always looked so grumpy and never invited me over for tea. :confused:

    A few kids I graduated with are becoming famous-most of them skimpy bikini models.

    My fiance graduated with a kid who is now a famous American Eagle model.

    I'm trying to talk my brother into becoming a model-he is beautiful.

    I know a popular NASCAR driver...LOL that's about it.

    I've met lots of musicians that are from Detroit...

    My cousin is in a band that's fairly popular in the Midwest and in Japan and I obviously know his band members...

    That's about it though.

    you know i plum clean forgot about when i was living over in reno. yah, at the time i happend to belong to this religeon that had this mellow out house that certain musicians would sometimes come over to to mellow out after their gigs, or for various other mellow out reasons.

    jimmy seals and dash crofts and their wives. they brought members of redbone over one time, and of chicago another. and april bellows (better known as cher) came by wanting to temporarily join just to use our kind of devorce, which had to be explained to her it didn't work that way, and i think she was mad at us about that when she wrote halfbreed. tony shere, vincint brown (publisher of naturegraph) and a number of other people besides musicians came by there too.

    oh hell, there's a whole bunch of other people too. but you know, the thing is with me and people, half the time i don't remember their names even if they ARE "famouos" or whatever. celebrity is just way of making a living. there all just people otherwise and half the time you wouldn't recognize any of them if you did meet them.

    so i don't who or how many i might have, other then those in that place for the few years i was there.

    i've also met the somewhat infamous, dolar an acre swamp and desert land real estate tripper, who i'd swear is some kind of eternal or vampire or something. i don't mean that in any sort of dark and sinisterway the way someone else might, but i'd swear he looks the same tired old man today, that he did the first time i met him, when his wife, hope, was younger, sexier, in fact there WERE certain noises comming from another room not long before i was introduced to them, then their daughter is now.

    silly silly humans

    (the other thing about me is i'm not all that much about being entertained so i don't even know who half the people in any of that even are anymore. so even if i did meet someone, unless they explained to me who they were known as by thier audience and all that, i still wouldn't have the slightest idea that i had, or who they were, or any of that)
