First person to say 'Neo', 'Jack Frost' or 'King Mob' gets sent to Coventry, and moreover I will break into their tuck-box and nick all their liquorice AND toffees.
Was discussing this with Plums a few weeks ago and thought it might make a nice thread for the silly season... So, as the title suggests, which character do you most resemble, and/or with which characters do you most identify? Not which character you would most like to be, or which character you fancy most, as there is another thread for that. Please give your reasons, otherwise it won't be as interesting as it should be...
I had trouble thinking of characters I really identify with, except possibly Eustacia Goes to the Chalet School - a very sensible young woman, who preferred books and reading to sport.
When it comes to characters I resemble - someone once told me that I was like the heroine of A Start in Life by Anita Brookner, which I sincerely hope is not the case, as she is a mousy young academic who has unhappy relationships with older men and who ends up (IIRC, which I may well not) looking after her elderly mother and peeking wistfully through the net curtains of suburbia, forever unfulfilled.
Ugh.
I prefer my self-identified resemblance to the academic heroine of Possession, who seemed to have about the right balance of intellect, lack of common sense, and general weediness (but again I read this some time ago). I may have been misled by the Pre-Raphaelite pic on the cover into seeing a greater resemblance than really exists.
Off you go then - do it for yourselves (and each other, but play nicely, dears). |

You're the clone of Joan of Arc! You desperatelywant to fulfill your position as avoice-hearing teen, but you just seemed to turninto a goth girl with a secret that just won'tcome out. You want to tell the person you loveabout your feelings, but it just doesn't workout.
