Time for the Friday Five!

If you could eat dinner with and “get to know” one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose? Janet Jackson or Julia Roberts

Has the death of a famous person ever had an effect on you? Who was it and how did you feel? The death of Princess Diana didn’t affect me personally but it did make me *feel* — and that emotion allowed me to feel connected to all those knew and loved her. I was also in shock regarding the circumstances of her death — drunk drivers, crazy papparazzi. ::shakes head::

If you could BE a famous person for 24 hours, who would you choose? Kristin Kreuk or Katie Holmes – it would be cool to get to work with cute guys like Michael Rosenbaum and Josh Jackson. hee.

Do people ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Who? Nope.

Have you ever met anyone famous? I used to work at a news radio station so sometimes the radio personalities would have really cool guests — I got to shake hands with former President Jimmy Carter, Andre Agassi and Dave Chapelle. Also, when I was 15, I was flying from LA to San Francisco and Alicia Silverstone was on my flight. I didn’t go up to her though because she was surrounded by drooling guys the entire time.

Well, I figure that it’s never too late to do the Friday Five… so here goes.

What’s your favorite animal? Dogs (little ones), specifically lhasa apsos. They’re so adorable.

What pets have you had in your lifetime? I’ve only had one dog that my aunt gave me for my 9th birthday. It was a lhasa apso and I named him Tramp, after the dog in the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp. But I called him Wampy. I miss him. ::sniff::

Is there any specific pet that you’ve wanted but never had? Why? Nope. My dog was the only pet I ever wanted.

Are you allergic to any animals? I think I’m allergic to cats. In college, my roommate had a cat and occasionally, when it would sleep on my bed or cuddle with me, I would get really itchy. It didn’t happen all the time though.

Do you have any ‘pet’ pet peeves (your pets or others’)? I hate when pets leave bits and pieces of their food all over the place. Ugh.

Another Friday, another Friday Five…

What makes you homesick? When I talk to my cousins or friends and they just go on and on about what I’ve missed — I always feel so bad for not being there for all those moments, big or small.

Where is “home” for you? Is it where you are living now, or somewhere else? I live in the Bay Area (CA) right now — I kind of just settled here after finishing college at UC Berkeley. But what I call “home home” is where my dad lives in sunny Southern California.

What makes it home for you? People? Things? A little bit of both. Going back to Southern CA is great cause it really *feels* like home when I’m with my family. At the same time, though, I get really sentimental looking at trinkets and things that remind me of home or a specific time in my life.

Where is the furthest you’ve been from home? 6979 miles — that’s the distance from here to the Philippines. Ive also been to Europe and other parts of Asia, but I *think* the Philippines is the farthest. ::shrugs::

What are your plans for this weekend? Nothing! I’m just going to enjoy the fact that I am no longer going to have a 6-day work week now that I’ve quit my part-time job at Abercrombie and Fitch.
