Six Degrees

[alianora]

Ive had an interesting weekend.

In short, i found out that i am indirectly linked to both Joey Lawrence AND Sean Astin.

Let me explain, cause this is wildly entertaining to me.

I was at my sister's birthday party last night, and was talking to Amy, Mel's old roommate. We get to talking about random things and 80's, because she and her girlfriend Amanda know im amused by the 80's.

When Amy was in 8th grade, she won a contest.

She got to go on a tv show.

Not just any tv show, but the tv show, "Gimme a Break" with Nell Carter. She showed me the episode last night too. Its so cute! Nell sings to her! This was the cruise ship episode for anyone who remembers these things.

So there is the Joey Lawrence connection.

And then? We are talking about random connections to people, because of this odd situation..and come to find out that Amy's sister is engaged. But she isnt engaged to just anyone. No, Amy's sister is engaged to Mackenzie Astin. Former Child Star. Brother of my beloved hobbit, Sean Astin.

If I can just figure out a way to swing an invite to the wedding....

Six Degrees of lesbians

[(Anonymous)]

Alia, if anyone is swinging invites to the wedding, the lesbians in Denver get first dibs. Amy said so. Hee Hee. I am glad you came to my party. DDR was great! Sorry I was drunk and obnoxious but I believe that is how I should spend my birthday party.

Can you bring a date to the wedding? I'll be your lesbian date. I worship Sean Astin. I worship him as Sam. I worship him as Mikey. I just...love him.

That's cooler than me being three degrees from Kevin Bacon (coworker worked with Christian Slater on a movie, who worked with Kevin Bacon on a movie).

hee! when i think of him, all i can think of is this picture from teen beat or one of those other cheesy mags, when he was about 9 and his hair is all spiked. *pinches his cheeks*

Wow, that is so awesome... You've gotta find a way to crash that wedding. And I remember Mackenzie Astin from the last few seasons of The Facts of the Life. Hee! *g*
