"Excuse me, did you go to Pleasant Valley High School?"
"Um, no."
"Oh."
This was a conversation I had with a random guy at a restaurant the other day. He came up, said hi to someone he knew at my table, blurted out the question to me and then left.
Once he knew I wasn't this other person we didn't have much in common, I guess.
So...my question is...
What's this girl look like? Is she attractive? Ugly? Athletic? Fat? Do our faces look the same? Our haircuts? Our body types? Ankles?
I'm always so. stinkin. curious. Whenever people say I look just like someone, I'm like so show me a picture!
Apparently my self esteem is a fragile leaf balancing on the edge of a rocky cliff. I just want to make sure that I'm not being compared to someone, um, odd.
Yes, I know this is self-centered. But admit it, you wonder too about how people would describe you to other people or compare you to somebody else.
So yeah, she's the short girl who looks like a rabbit - or
Picture a cartoon version of George Washington - or what about simply
You know that guy with the big ears?
One time somebody told me I looked justlike the actress who played Jane Eyre in one of those old versions. I looked it up on YouTube and didn't see it, frankly. But also, who wants to be told they look like Jane Eyre? Isn't she sort of known for being, well, a plain jane?
I suppose I've never seen it when people have told me I look like someone. Let's just say I've never been told I'm a dead ringer for Scarlett Johansson or Penelope Cruz.
However, I like to think I'm pretty glamorous for a librarian.

I do think you look glamorous but a little like a dessert although I do not know what it is called so you can not look it up for comparison! :)
So instead of "show me the money" you are "Show me The Picture".
Haha, yes! I'm a glamorous peanut butter cup dessert!
