Famous People

On another note what the hell is with my sister meeting famous people? Anytime bands/actors roll into town for one reason or another they all seem to hit up the downtown pharmacy she works at. A few years back Train comes to perform at the BJC. Were do they go? The pharmacy. Who was working? She was. The touring production of Rent came last month and the actors who played Angel and Collins came in for something. Now, I'll admit that they aren't that famous, but she still got to meet and talk to them. That was an amazing performance. Around that time My Chemical Romance stopped here for their tour also. Now they didn't actually play here or their next stop because the good folks over at the college of William and Mary gave them, their opening act and their crew severe food poisoning from chicken caesar wraps. Way to go William and Mary, spoiling the fun for the rest of us. Anyway their opening act came into the pharmacy. And most recently, most famously as well, a man walked in with a PSU baseball hat. He was here screening an independant film as part of a screening tour. Apparantly he sounded familiar and when she looked over, guess who it was....Joey Pantaliano. It figures. Now I know this next one doesn't count as meeting, but she ate dinner at a restaurant in Toronto and James Garner was at the next table over. WTF? The closest I've ever come to meeting a celebrity was when Steve Fatone (Joey Fatone's brother) held the door open for me at The Orlando Ale House.

Maybe I should become a stalker.

I'm was on the 5-year progam...

Well IT finally happened. I graduated from THE Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Geography-Geographic Information Systems and a minor in Spanish last night at approximately 8:45 in Eisenhower Auditorium. It took five years, but I did it. It was actually quite a ceremony; since my college, The College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, is a small one at Penn State they actually called all of our names one by one as we walked across the stage. I would have a picture of myself, but apparantly I was nervous and walked too fast causing any picture of me to be blurred, kinda like on Stargate when they had those wrist band thingies that gave them super strength and super speed. It was awesome, well for SG-1 it was, just not for me as I have no pictures of me onstage. I did manage to get pictures during the reception beforehand and a few pictures of me afterward. So no worries.
