Drinks of choice:
* hot chocolate
* root beer
* apple juice
Celebrities of choice:
* Angelina Jolie. I like that she's brutally honest about the not-so-glamorous parts of her life (such as her past with cutting.) I also love that she supports international adoption, though I agree that celebs "hop the line".
* Madonna. I'm a child of the 80's and to me, Madge is the original female rebel rocker. Her "Oh Father" video is lesser known but haunting, depicting her mother's funeral (and Madonna portrayed as a young girl who, upon looking into the casket, is clearly able to see the stitches used to sew her mother's mouth closed.) I've always wondered if the early loss of her mother (whom Madonna has said would also torture herself to "get right with God") is what set off her rebellion against God and the church.
* I have to agree with Blue--Michael Jackson was a fascinating person, and handled people being in his business a lot better than I would have. I had only a small glimpse of it, not as a celebrity, but as someone related to someone well-known in our town (for good things, but still...) and having people snidely talk as if they knew me or about my life made me want to punch all of them.
* Sarah Jessica Parker. She's a true rags-to-riches story of a little girl who grew up in a trailer. I enjoy reading interviews with her because she seems like a very kind and gracious person who never forgets her roots. One interviewer was admiring something of SJP's at their meeting, and she just gave it to her.
* Dean Koontz, for the same reasons as Ms. Parker, as well as the fact that he sends handwritten notes in reply to his fan mail (he even spelled my full first name correctly, which is something even some family members get wrong.)
I'm always interested in people's background stories... and would love to hear several from some of the people here on CC as well...
