2) I was in the same room with Nicolas Cage.
3)I live in the county as the famous killer Jeffery Dahmer.

i've never met anyone really famous, and i don't really care if i do. I'm of the belief that everybody poops, everybody lives, move on.
i did meet a lot of people who are rather well known in the political commentary world while growing up, thanks to my dad's traveling politician/campaign worker hobby. I don't think any of these people count though as they're all weird.
