Today's Friday Five is about famous people!!! Woohoo!!
1. If you could eat dinner with and "get to know" one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose?
I'd probably choose to have dinner with someone I would potentially like to have sex with, because dinner oftentimes leads to sex. Therefore, I would like to have a dinner party with Conan O'Brian, the guy who stars in the show "The Guardian," Richard Ashcroft from the Verve and Mark Kozelek from Red House Painters (we would do it and he would cry).
2. Has the death of a famous person ever had an effect on you? Who was it and how did you feel?
I remember in high school I was at Kristin C*ker's house and we heard on LIVE 105 that Dave Gahan had just killed himself in a hotel room. Kristin started freaking out and crying. It was terrifying. For more on Dave Gahan (he didn't actually die), see number 5. You should go read the account on fran's page of our realization of the anniversary of Kurt Cobain's suicide. It's pretty funny.
3. If you could BE a famous person for 24 hours, who would you choose?
Well...I would want to be Clarissa from Clarissa Explains It All, but that's a character, because I certainly wouldn't want to be Melissa Joan Hart. I did, however, call her house and hang up a couple of times when I was 11 and obsessed with being her. Is that sick?
4. Do people ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Who?
When I had long hippie hair some IRC nerds said I looked like Alanis Morrisette. I've also heard that I look like Toni Collette when she had red hair, or Jillian Anderson. It's just the hair though. Really the only people I look like are my parents.
5. Have you ever met anyone famous?
Hmm...yes. Probably not a lot of people you have heard of. I went to the christening of Dave Gahan's (singer of Depeche Mode) daughter. Horatio Sanz (the fat one on SNL) asked me if I would put my fist in his ass. Seriously. I've hung out with Moby and one time he touched my butt by mistake. I made out with Joseph Arthur. Jesse Camp gave me his number and invited me to his house for veggie Thanksgiving dinner. Jimmy Fallon bought me a shirley temple at Moomba one time. I can't really think of any others right now, but Fran is sitting on my bed masturbating furiously sobbing because of the Jimmy Fallon thing. Ahahah.
