    That's awesome. I love it when random stuff happens like that.

    All I got to do was serve Jean Charest popcorn once. That's the extent of my contact with famous people.

    Hm I don't know if it was King Abdullah himself but I wouldn't doubt it being one of his children or Newphews, but that is pretty tight.

    more important

    -i got kissed on the cheek by sarah geronimo(filipino singer) after giving her a rose during one of her concerts in houston
    (so did like 10 other boys/girls, so dont think i was the only one)

    -one of george w. bush's daughters came to my school to talk about her book, but i wasnt one of the chosen people to go to the assembly. i heard that secret service was all over the place though

    less important

    -2 famous christian rock bands have played at my church. i only saw one of them though last sunday (during church class) but i dont remember their names

    -i met the grandmaster of kuk sool won

    -i had a conversation with tila tequila's myspace in a chatroom (im saying her myspace cuz idk if it was really her talking to me)

    -i met the designers of toyota's hybrid cars back in elementary school

    ;/ I got paid a little over 18 dollars an hour when I worked at Geek Squad in my local Best Buy. You have to deal with a lot of bullshit though, it can get really stressful. Just remember to keep a smile on your face throughout all the trials and tribulations and you'll be O.K.

I live in rochester minnesota which has the famous Mayo Clinic so people from all over the world come here for medical treatment so seeing foreign people all the time is common.

    So i go over and help them. after 15 minutes i check them out with merchandise (computers and electronics) upwards of $3000. they thanked me and left. After they left my boss came up to me and told me that was people from the royal saudi arabian family (the prince and his daughter and a few others) and the men in suits were secret service agents!. It turns out the King of Saudi Arabia is in rochester for Mayo Clinic.

    and the whole time i didnt know!. very interesting to say the least lol.
    O.o i live in rochester to D: lol ya thats pretty intresting to xD

    base pay for a CIA (counter intelligence agent) is 8.00 an hour (in minnesota) and then you get extra for your technical experience so i get 10.50. base pay varies from state to state.
