I'm at school with Rowan Atkinson's son, and My Dad's Godson's Uncle is/was (I can't remember) the barman from Coronation Street. I can't remember his name, though.

I went to university with the Free Hugs guy. We used to scull beers during the intermissions in our Creative Non-Fiction seminars.
Actually, finding out on the news he was still doing the Free Hugs thing a couple of years back was how I managed to catch up with him after I dropped out of Uni and wondered what he'd been up to.
By extension I'm also met one of the members of the band The Sick Puppies who did the song in the famous youtube video.

I once met the members of the band Spiderbait. I've also met a bunch of other minor Australian TV and radio personalities. I've met a couple of Australian sports stars. I think Jonathan Thurston is one of my cousins but I'd probably need to check with my grandmother on that one.

Shirley Manson touched my hand when I was in the front row at a Garbage concert.

I am a man of character. I think in twelve dimensions. I come in twenty seven delicious flavors. I am a master of all forms of unarmed combat. There are some small tribes in Africa who consider me a minor deity. I am not bound by the laws of physics. God speaks to me personally and asks for stock tips. Yesterday, I saved the rainforest. I invented cheese.

Uhh... I think Mia Hamm's son goes to my school (or at least he did), and a lot of famous people live here in Austin like Lance Armstrong, I can drive 15 minutes and be at the headquarters of the developer who made the Metroid Prime series, and my dad met some prince in England.

I used to be a moderator for Warren Ellis and bounced drunk guys from his table at SDCC. Jim Lee sent me an original inked sketch for my birthday.

I'm slightly famous. I'm an amatuer actor. I get mentioned in reviews in local theatre stuff. It's kinda cool.
then we all have a claim to fame in you!
You're all welcome. Tell your friends. Especially if they're in charge of South Australian theatres.

Autographs are a very reasonable $5. You must arrange your own shipping.

You know Ada Byron Lovelace? no? look her up.
My boyfriend is one of her descendants, and still gets to use the Byron coat of arms.
Judging by her pictures, I would totally hit that. So I'm indirectly boning the original "gamer girl", sort of, in a way.

I'm descended from the Norman invaders, and we've been opressing the peasantry ever since. Alright, we were closer to the role of that guy who comes around and demands rent every so often, but still.

And I'm a damn good cook.

I work in a movie theatre, and we have this guy who told me he used to voice work for the Muppets. He worked with theMuppet Movie, and he did a few episodes of Entertainment Tonight. His name is Buz Suraci, and he is a pretty damn cool guy.
