1. If you could eat dinner with and “get to know” one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose? Right now? Orlando Bloom.
2. Has the death of a famous person ever had an effect on you? Who was it and how did you feel? I suppose Aaliyah’s death last August was pretty weird, cause she died a couple days before my 21st birthday. It didn’t really bother me that much (does that make me sound callous?) because she wasn’t my favorite actress or singer… but it was weird to think she would never be in another movie, cause she was, well, dead. And it made me think of how young I was and how much was left for me to do. Makes you more careful for a while.
3. If you could BE a famous person for 24 hours, who would you choose? Hmm. Staying with my sex, I’d have to say Vanessa Carlton because she can play the piano and sing at the same time. She’s not all that pretty, but if she can do it , so can I. I’d just like to see what that lifestyle is like for a while. And if I could be a boy, I think I’d say… oh, Orlando Bloom. I’d have a cool accent, among other things… 🙂
4. Do people ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Who? The only famous “person” I supposedly look like is Pocahontas from the animated Disney movie. I sort of see it. Course, I don’t really want to be mistook for a cartoon character.
5. Have you ever met anyone famous? My mother and I met Wally Shawn (aka the Sicilian in the Princess Bride) at a Kinko’s copies near my house. And I’ve met Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Gail Devers (track stars, duh).
Finally remembered to do this this week. More than you wanted to know? Why don’t you tell me about it?? Comment, you fools!
