The Friday Five

1. Who is your favorite celebrity?
I'm not a celebrity type of person ... though I like movies, and music, and baseball, and lots of other things that sometimes involve famous people. I have some favorites for each of those. My favorite baseball player isn't even famous.

2. Who is your least favorite?
Anyone who beomes famous for something bad or dumb bothers me.

3. Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life?
Kirby Puckett. And Jesse Ventura, before he ran for governor.

4. Would you want to be famous? Why or why not?
I would not want to be famous because I find the culture of celebrity in America annoying to hear about, much less live. I guess if I were going to be famous, it'd be for something cool, like writing books or being a scientst who does something good for the world; that might be all right. As long as I'm not the kind of famous that's on MTV, I'd be okay. (Or CNN, for that matter.)

5. If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why?
Maybe Jon Stewart. I think he has a good job.

It's just a webstie where I get the questions. I usually try to provide a link; this week it's the subject of my entry.

Thanks

I was wondering where these questions were coming from and how so many people seemed to be answering them ;-)
