I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that you think should be obvious, but you have no idea about. I promise true answers.

(Because, clearly, I'll do almost ANYTHING to avoid cleaning.)

If you meet Danny Elfman, you must share. My fangirl crush goes to 11 on that one...
(I have a general weakness for crazy red-headed fiddle players, of which he is the archetype.)

His collection of drums is definitely squee-worthy, but I'm more into the balaphones...

Closest I've come: a nice, short e-mail from Elfman's agent. "Thank you for the kind words. Richard Kraft." (I'd said something on an Elfman fan board in 1995 that came to his attention.)

In 1986, I got backstage passes to a Boingo show. I ended up hanging out with the boys, drinking way too much whiskey. After the show, we went to a bar at their hotel, and I spent over an hour seriously making out with Danny. Finally, he looked at his watch and said he had to leave...it was time to call his wife and say goodnight to his kid.

Me, lying naked on the bar...Danny drinking Jameson's from my bellybutton...then? Nothing. 'Night, nice to meet you, see you next time I'm in town. Serious frustration...

..Oh my!

Best night of my life. STILL frustrated, though. ;)

I'll bet!

I just..wow. That's the kind of story you hear about but it's always a friend-of-a-friend-talking-about-someone-on-the-bus, ya know?

Out of your bellybutton. My hat's off to you.

Erm....my bellybutton and...elsewhere.
I'm new here, so was trying to be relatively non-offensive.

By the way, his teeth are every bit as sharp as they look. I had puncture marks on my neck for weeks. ;)

Funny story:
I was 17 at the time, and still a virgin, though quite a bit of a trollop, exhibitionist and shameless flirt.

I got the backstage pass through a radio contest...they asked for letters to Danny saying why "you're his number one fan".

I sent a brief note saying I loved Danny's lyrics and his brilliant insanity and wanted to make him a gift of my virginity. I included a picture. A very...naked...picture.

Well, I won the contest obviously. First thing Danny said to me was "Please take off your shirt. I want to verify your credentials."

Ah, the good old days, when I was young and hawt and completely without inhibitions, morals, or sense. ;)

Thanks for telling that story! :D

You might enjoy "The Adventures of Hurricanegrrl", describing my drunken nekkid insanity during my 9 days in New Orleans during Katrina.

Heh-heh.

One thing you will learn about our wonderful Elionwyr is that it is VERY hard to be offensive around her. She is the QUEEN of the inappropriate comment... and I mean that in a GOOD way. She certainly gives as good as she gets. :-)

BTW... Hi, I'm Hugh. I'm around here a lot. You seem like cool people... would you mind if I friend you?

[idiomagic.livejournal.com]

Hi Hugh! Welcome to my insanity...
I've been posting about Iran really a lot lately, but feel free to skip those posts. ;)

I am also hurricanegrrl, which describes the insanity of my nine days in New Orleans during Katrina. If you like drunken naked women chasing looters with medieval melee weapons, you might enjoy it. ;)

Well, thank you... I think I will check out that other LJ! :-)
