Have you ever met any celebrities? Any interesting stories?

Oh God.
I once met James Lipton, of "Inside the Actors' Studio" fame, and ruined his evening. I was interning at Dissent, a political journal, in the winter of 2003, and went to the New School to help set up their holiday party. Dissent's office manager, B, and I were organizing hor d'oeuvres when James Lipton strolled in, examined the buffet table, grabbed a mini-eggroll, nodded at us, and strolled back out.
A few minutes later, B and I were standing in the hallway when B asked me if I watched "Inside the Actors' Studio." I snapped that I most certainly do not, and "that it's the dumbest show ever, with the silliest guests. They had the entire cast of 'Will and Grace' on the other night. Stupid!"
Then guess who rounded the corner? Yup, James Lipton, looking a little hurt. He evidentally hadn't gone back down the floors where the New School's theatre program is located, and had heard everything I said. Oops.
A couple years ago, Lipton appeared on "Arrested Development," mocking himself. That kind of made me feel bad, because anyone who appears on a show that great making fun of their own self-image can't possibly be that bad.
[small voice] I'm sorry, James Lipton.
In which fictional world/universe/land/city would you most like to live?

Probably Oz as it is presented in the film of "Return to Oz," because of the lunch bucket tree. Oh man, that lunch bucket tree was fierce.

In the restroom:
Person A: A box of tampons was missing from my desk. And a fork.
Person A and B: Hahahahahahahaha!
Person B: I figure when someone takes something from my desk, it's because they really need them.
Person A: Yup.
Show us something that warms your heart.
This photo of my family's resident blob, DeeDee, just warms my little heart. He lives across the country from me in California with my parents. Sniff. We also have another kitty, MeiMei, who is as neurotic as DeeDee is fat. She's always under some piece of furniture. But though I don't see her often, MeiMei also warms my heart.
I miss my kitties.
Would you rather go back in time or visit the future?

Easy. I would travel back in time so I can smack some goddamn sense into myself.
Show us something that you really treasure.

Just overheard at work (I am done with all my work, by the way, just dickering time away until my Mandarin class starts):
Person A: Hey, have you ever eaten sturgeon fish before?
Person B: That's like asking me if I'm circumcised.
Person A: Let's go find out!
