You don't want to be around when He opens the window.

a) you are a famous person by nature (e.g., your father is the President of the United States);

b) you have become a famous person through some deed or misdeed of your own (say, Paris Hilton or Lance Armstrong);

c) your biography can be manipulated into a story arc suitable for the Lifetime Movie Network. This almost invariably involves the death of a family member from cancer or drug abuse, and the Life Lessons learned therefrom.

For you, a) is not an option, and at the moment you don't quite qualify for b). So I would say your shot right now is to invite your whole family for a sundrenched beach vacation, provide unlimited free heroin, and then wait for the bodies to start piling up.
