Hmm. While this hasn't happened recently (not counting the store clerk a few months back who went, "You look like, oh, she was in that movie with the thing and you know? Aw, I can't remember"), I've been compared to two people the most often. I don't think either is particularly spot-on, but whatever.
Audrey Hepburn
I don't see this one, really. Even people who used to compare me to her would be careful to add, "But only when she had short hair!" Her eyes are much bigger and more wide-set than mine, though she did have the same pale skin/dark hair coloring and high cheekbones I do.
Winona Ryder
I think this comparison was more accurate right around the time Girl, Interrupted came out. Again, she and I share the same coloring and fairly sharp features (and it helps that I wore my hair a lot choppier back then), but I'm pretty sure the eyes screw everything up again. However, I'm constantly wearing glasses that make my eyes look very small, so what do I know?
There you have it. My very short list of celebrity doppelgangers.
I have another entry I want to write about synesthesia and this TV program I saw last night (note to self: remember to do that later), but I'm pretty close to being out of energy. No matter when I try to go to bed these days, whether I stay up late on the internet or not, I have trouble getting to sleep then somehow manage to wake up before my alarm goes off even when I have time to sleep in. Not sure why. My brain is chewing on too much, probably. I'm getting more antsy by the day. Hard not to, really. There's just so much to look forward to! GAH!
Oh, calm down. Stop being silly.
