Friday 5: Fame, and misconceptions about it

[cherydactyl]

1. What talent(s) do you have that could make you famous?
I don't particularly want to be famous. Nor do I think talent is the key ingredient in fame. But, I'll just go with it. I'm a pretty good teacher. I sing as well as a few pop stars you could name, though that says more about them than me. I write decently.

2. If you could be famous for one day, what would you do?
Make some contacts. Network. Do some good deeds, since the one thing fame does give you is visibility.

3. If you were so famous that money was no object, where would you live?
There are plenty of famous people who have little or no money. Why do you think there are rock group reunion tours and TV shows like celebrity boxing and The Simple Life? If I had so much money that I could choose to live anywhere...I'd buy a house in a college town walking distance from campus/downtown. Ann Arbor, for example.

4. If you could meet any famous person, who would it be?
Howard Jones
followed closely by Alton Brown

5. What would be your famous catch phrase/quote/motto/last words?
*raises eyebrows* You tell me.

OK, so I read #4 quick and my first misread was that you wanted to meet Tom Jones. That is very different! ;) Hee hee.

Very different.

Tom Jones...well, I'm sure he's alright, but it's just not the kind of conversation I'm looking for. I don't need to talk about the fact that ladies have thrown underwear at him for decades.

We're not scared to lose it all,
security throw through the wall.

vs.

She's a lady, whoa-oa-oa, she's a lady?

No contest.
