But, would they do me? I’m guessing, no.

My current list of 5 famous people that I get a pass on the whole fidelity thing, should I find myself flying down the strip in a stretch Hummer, whooping it up, drinking Maker’s Mark out our shoes, and winking friskily at one another with one of these guys:

1. Robert Downey, Jr.


2. Johnny Depp

3. Timothy Olyphant

4. John Cusack

5. Vincent D’Onofrio

And if you disagree with any of my choices, CONSIDER THIS – you know who almost makes this list? Like, just barely squeaked out. Like, if you ask me tomorrow or even maybe in an hour, he’ll be back in?

This guy:

I’ve always sort of had a thing for Oliver Platt. Oh, shut up.

Who’s on your Famous Freebie Five list?

1. when a butterfly lands on me

9. pull tabs. I go seriously batshit when I realize a bar/restaurant has pull tabs.

10. laying under trees and watching the sunlight filter through the branches and listening to the wind move the leaves… I could give you the long explanation that is… ok, I’m a Taurus and that is an earth sign which means I’m far more comfortable in dirt and rocks and plants than I am in water, air or fire… I’m not sure how many people are more comfortable on fire, but you see where I’m going with this. The short answer is that I like trees. And laying under them.
