Ah yes, me again

I've been tagged by cajunvegan. No, not vegan as in doesn't eat animal products of any sort. Vegan as in lives in Las Vegas. Get it? I love the title of her blog - I Read Banned Books. How cool is that?

The tag is to list the 7 most famous or infamous people I have ever met or to do the typical 7 weird things about me meme. I'm going to tackle the infamous/famous people side. We'll see how this goes...

1) Tim Gunn - Fashionisto. Brilliant mentor. Met him several times near Parsons a couple years ago. The 3rd time I ran into him he actually remembered me. He's very nice and genuine - he looks you in the eye when he speaks to you even if you're just a stranger.

2) Philip Seymour Hoffman - Actor. Genius. Lit my cig back in the days of smoking after seeing a play he directed at The Public Theatre. I love that he uses 3 names. He was born in Fairport, NY. I used to live there. Weird.

3) Matthew's ex-girlfriend. Not naming her. But, the reason I include her is that she was my favorite musician for 3 years. Her music was the soundtrack to my life, I went to her shows all the time. I had such a strong personal connection to her songs. M & I met at one of her shows (scandalous!) and the next week they had broken up. Turns out he & I had been in the same room dozens of times and never met until that one night almost 2 years ago. Crazy. I haven't listened to her in 2 years. I still have some sadness that her music is missing from my life, but when I learned the real stories behind those lyrics I loved so much they lost meaning for me. I still keep her in my iPod, but I don't listen anymore.

4) Michael Fay - Remember this kid? He got caned in Singapore for spray painting cars. I know him from his prep school days.

5) Jon Stewart - Funny, sexy man. He was walking with his kid in a stroller. Wearing a ballcap. Adorable. Short - about 5'6". Totally lickable. Yeah, lickable. Plus, he changed THE Daily Show to A Daily Show while the writers are on strike because he maintains it's not the same show. Love that.

6) Amy Sedaris - Hilarious. Actor. Comedienne. Crafter. Personal hero.

7) Jeremy Sisto - Actor. Ran into him on my block. He brings the hotness. Actually high school friends with a guy I almost married about 5 years ago. Dodged that bullet!
