All in the eyes of the beholder...

"You remind me so much of...."


I get that alot. Do you?

No seriously. I want to know...

In high school, it was all about Sandra Bullock. I waited tables through high school and had multiple people tell me at different times... "You look just like Sandra Bullock."

Hmm... I don't see it. Maybe it is the dark hair?

But then I've had other moments of "familiarity" with people. It's always funny to me. A couple days ago I got Britney Spears... definitely don't see that.

Last year I got Janis Joplin... um, no thanks.

In Hakone a little girl saw me and turned to her mother saying, "Wow, there's a Chinese girl here." Chinese? Wow, that's fun.

Sometimes it's not my looks but my mannerisms, "Hey, doesn't Jo remind you so much of so and so?" They say.

No joke, I must have "one of those faces".

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder...

This made me think of video I received from a friend (below)... I laughed so hard when his email read, "This reminded me of you."

What can I say? Fearfully and wonderfully.

I think the conversation of looking like famous people is kind of weird, but anyways I have been likened to owen wilson, when I have long hair, and one time clay aiken, when my hair was much shorter.

P.S. you have never responded to my email that I sent you many moons ago (many moons=Native American terminology for "a lengthy amount of time")

Who does Jo look like? Hmmm....

How about that guy from the little lad dance that likes berries and cream?
