Six Degrees of Separation

I'm sure that everyone's heard the theory that you can connect yourself to any other person by only six degrees of separation. I figured out the six degrees that separates me from my favourite band. And it works for every band member.

So the band in question is Marianas Trench.



And the six degrees are as follows (provided that myself and the band can be counted as two different degrees. Otherwise it's only five.):

Me --> Stef (my roommate) --> Sheldon (my roommate's boyfriend) --> Sheldon's ex (I really can't remember her name. My bad) --> Chad Kroeger (lead singer of Nickelback and that nameless girl's current boyfriend) --> Marianas Trench (they are signed to 604 Records, which Chad Kroeger owns. They are also good friends with him.)

Cool huh? It amused me for quite some time today. Has anybody else ever figured out something like that?

I've also discovered that there are still people that don't get my sense of humor. I thought that sarcasm was pretty mainstream these days, but I guess not. The other day a guy came in for ice cream at my work and we started talking.

He goes, "have I told you that you're awesome?"

"No, but I've already heard it twice today, so it's really not a thrill."

"...Oh."

And then it just got really awkward. It made me laugh though.

I might have a new job, too! So long fast food, I might be a receptionist! Lol. I would love to be able to tell someone what I do without being ashamed.
