What is your lame claim to fame?

:lol: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good one!!! XD



Okay, okay, I got one!!:


When I was 16, I met Mike Kubat! 8D Er... he co-created that old "Ed, Edd n Eddy" cartoon, if anyone remembers.

VERY nice guy- he even looked over my art (online, before I met him, through a friend of mine at the time), and while we were talking I told him about my own story ideas (that I still am working out today). He gave me positive criticism and tips on how to be a good writer, and make sure my characters interact well, and are diverse enough and have a proper amount of conflict. ("Don't have it go like, one guy goes: "Hey, wanna go skateboarding?" and his friend goes "YEAH! I wanna go skateboarding!", and then he goes, "Wanna go out for pizza?" and he goes "OH YEAH I WANNA GO OUT FOR PIZZA!"... make sure there are differences, keep things interesting!"... advice like that.)

I'll never forget that, it's definitely a very special memory. <3

I remember that cartoon. That's awesome, Jan!
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Earlier today I actually rode an elevator with Christian Slater. Didn't throw up, though.

When my now ex-husband and I were on our honeymoon on Martha's Vineyard, he saw Carly Simon walking. By the time he told me, she had walked by already, so I saw Carly Simon's hair. Also, when I first moved to Los Angeles, I saw the oldest Brady Bunch kid [Barry Williams] in a Trader Joe's.

Cheers, Diva

Oh yeah, at Al's 1999 concert at the Greek Theater I sat in front of Isaac Hanson. Several years later Kathy Hrapek and I had our photo taken with Seth Green at Al's Greek Theater concert in 2007. Come to think of It, I was one table away from Rob Reiner at the Anaheim Spinal Tap concert in 2001.

Cheers, Diva
who is sure to remember more concert sightings later tonight when she should be asleep

Since you mentioned Spinal Tap, I was amusing myself on Twitter one day, and I had this exchange... (He walked into a at-work in-joke, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity.)

I got a hug from Conan O'Brien after his tour show in DC. & Reggie Watts was the opening act and he wandered around talking with people while we were waiting; I told him his songs were hilarious and we talked about living in Germany.

and i met Ryan Stiles and Greg Proops from Whose Line Is It Anyway? after one of their live shows.
