Anyway, midnight came and we were still story-swapping last evening. I lay against the extremely large and comfortable couch in our front room, staring at the ceiling and playing with my hair when she says, "Has anyone ever told you you look just like Winnie Cooper?"
Well, I have. So, this selfish post is dedicated to the characters I've been told consistently and by multiple people throughout my life that I look just like. Winnie Cooper definitely takes number one. I've been told that since I was 12. My secret crush was the first to make the connection and I wanted so much for him to be my Kevin Arnold. Didn't happen.
I've also been told by later crushes that I looked just like Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth. If only. She is beautiful. I would love to have a friend do my hair huge and brilliant like her's in that snow globe dancing ball scene with super hot David Bowie. My friend Russ claims that Mary Poppins was his sexual awakening movie. Mine was the snow globe scene from Labyrinth.
Recently I've had people suggest I remind them of Kiera Knightley dressed as a boy in the Pirates movies. I think "dressed as a boy" is the key element....I don't see it, personally, but again, consistently and repeatedly this is what I've been told.
I also apparently look like Pixar characters (I know what's that like...my arch nemesis from 2001, Chris Bailey, looks JUST like the boy in Toy Story II that sings "You've Got a Friend in Me to his Woody puppet doll and hugs him all happily. Spitting image, man). The girl from The Incredibles and the tiny girl from Monsters, Inc. are supposedly what I would look like computer animated.
Finally, I took one of those lame "Who do you look like?" online celebrity programs where you upload a picture of yourself and they tell you who you look like? Well, the computer thinks I look like Kiera Knightley, Sandra Bullock, Liv Tyler, and no other than Danny Devito himself.

I don't really think that you like any of those people, but I would have to say that you look like Keira the most, but only when she was dressed up like a boy (he he he). I do think that Olivia looks like Boo from Monsters, Inc.
Oh and I better see you when you come out this fall...we will have to work something out.
Trevor and I really enjoyed this. I think the appeal for him was Winnie Cooper, she was his sexual awakening. I share yours, only it was the end stair scene in Labrynth not the snowglobe. It was a sad day when I discovered his mullet was a wig.
i don't know how you found all those pics and matched them to yourself, but it was insane! I don't think you look like Keira (cuz of the hair color), but the others are pretty dang close!
I've been trying to place your face for so long and Boom! There it is! Devito. Thanks for clearing that up.
Jennifer Connelly lives a couple streets away from me if you want to come to New York again and stalk her. We can ask her personally if Jennifer thinks she looks like YOU.
James, SHUT UP you do not live next to Jennifer Connelly. I am so jealous. Don't you live next to the Cosby's, too, or was that the Pews? Still, jealous jealous. And yes, Devito and I have a striking similarity.
Sherry, you are so right about the staircase scene....my FAVORITE part is when Bowie looks so desperate, leaning his head back against the wall and barely speaking aloud in a halting rhythm: "Her eyes can be so cruel!" Gets me every time.
Yeah, she lives about four streets from me. So does David Cross and Steve Buscemi and Jonathan Saffron Foer.
And I do live in the Cosby's neighborhood. I just hung out with Theo.
Hahaha... Danny DeVito. Oh Gillz. You are gorgeous and he is hideous... therefore, YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE AN UGLY OLD MAN. :) I do think you look like Violet from Incredibles though!
Loves!
So I can't solve your identity issue for you. That's something you're going to have to deal with yourself. I just hope that your identity problems don't trickle over to self-esteem issues. You certainly shouldn't have problems in that department.
Changing the subject a bit. Reading your blog is awesome. If this is all you're doing with your degree then I'm one fan that's thinking it's worth it.
I've started realizing that not a whole lot of folks know how to track just who's reading their lives. So I wrote about it. Who's Reading This? Of course, I still don't proof read what I write--maybe that's why yours is so much better :-)
This is hilarious. And I agree, you don't look like Kiera Knightley dressed like a boy in "Pirates." And Danny Devito--ok, I think everyone who takes that test gets him sort of as a joke, so don't worry you don't resemble him at all.
Oh dang it! I was watching a show just the other day thinking "that chick looks like Emily" and now I can't remember who it was. But I know it is someone new to add to your list. Maybe it was Danny's brother or something...
I'm laughing so hard my stomach is hurting, and it's all your FAULT. I freaking love you, Gilz. :)
