25 years ago I drove a cab while in college. Picked up Paul McCartney. It was near my mother’s birthday and I called her and he sung her happy birthday.

Random convenience store in Hawaii, Robert Downey Jr walks up next to me while I’m looking at drinks in a cooler and asks me something like ”how do you know how much everything is?” because there were no prices on the racks. It was about 10 seconds after I said “I guess you just take it up to the register” that everything about that whole scenario finished processing, then I had absolutely no clue what to do.

This past weekend I was in a movie theatre in Nashville and walked past Emma Roberts and Evan Peters from American horror story as my movie got out. She used the bathroom with me and I had to awkwardly hold the door for her and then proceeded to have a panic attack in the stall next to her.
