Shared an elevator the other night with a couple Seahawks and their wives. Gave one of the girls a cookie from a batch my mom had just given me. She told me I was cute and gave me a hug. <3

Meh, just local politicians and local celebs here in Honolulu. nothing special. My Uncle used to be a limousine driver and was the personal driver for many celebs back in teh early 90s and late 80s (Michael Jackson, Michael Jordon, etc), no real connection for me (especially after his numerous firings from various limo services for various law violations)...

My Uncle dropped my off in Waikiki while on his way to pick up Jules Asner (http://img175.imagevenue.com/i...Asner_1_122_381lo.jpg) during the premier of Pearl Harbor ...I got out of the Limo as she got it...wow...way hotter in person than on TV...

The only contemporary celebrity I can think of right now is a short hop to Andrea Anders. Just found out about that one a few days ago.

Any-when, my mother's mother's side apparently traces back to William the Conqueror.

And as I'm typing this, I realize that my college English teacher is now engaged to one of my state's Senators, and I'm from the same home-town as him.

I may be related to Howard Huges, we share a name that is very rare.

And am related to Katharine Houghton Hepburn who's middle name is my Grandma's maiden name.

I am also a descendant of some king of England from around 700AD.

Finally... when I worked at Disney I met a TON of famous people. Cal Ripken, Emmit Smith, Jim Kelly, Joe Perry (Aerosmith) Mariah Carey(who has a fat ass), Vanessa Williams(without make up... eh) Christopher Reeves after his accident. Also got to wait on Joe Paterno and Sandra Burnhart. After a while it becomes blase.

This.

Also, Vanessa (the bitchy girl that was on "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila") used to hang out at my house all the time @ 2006ish. She was friends with my roommate. I didn't know her really well, but she didn't seem to be nearly as bitchy in person as she was on tv.

My dad went to college with the head of Bose, although I don't think they know each other that well. A friend of mine from elementary through high school's dad is also the CEO of a couple of companies.

Edit:

Oh, and a co-owner of Macy's is also a relative of mine; he also served in the House of R's. He also shares the same name with my dad, oddly enough.

I shook hands and spoke with James Cameron for a good half an hour at one of his discovery events in NYC. It was pretty cool to hear how much time and effort he invested in deep sea diving and exploration. Later on I was invited as a guest on one of his excursions out in the pacific. Of course they wouldn't let us get on those submarines but the trip was a nice experience.

I used to live down the road from the Bush's SE FL home that was on the ocean when I was growing up.

We used to go to a local neighborhood seafood shack that'd they'd be at some times.

This was back in the day before either Bush was President though.

My great, great, great great, (etc) Grandpa fought beside George Washington, my Mom even has mention of it from some old clipping somewhere still.

I have another long since dead realitive that was a well known author for his time and wrote books that later the show "Lassie" was based from.
