Doppelgangers

People say that my husband Trent looks like James Roday, the star of Psych.



Bahahahaha.

Hahahaha.

Actually, more like this one:



But without a nose that is deceivingly ginormous.

People also say that he looks a lot like Seth Green. See below.




I get the comparison on this one. The shortness, the Irish-ishness, and the occasionally scruffiness.

Oh that I were a...

I wish I blogged more. I really have no excuse not to, my life is effortlessly dull. 

I sure do enjoy reading other peoples blogs. People are so fascinating to me, which is one of big reasons I was drawn to social work as a profession. I regularly read blogs of people I don't like, have never met, and that I may even think are stupid and annoying. But apparently I still care enough to read your blog. My visiting teaching companion from church up and left her husband last week and moved back to Canada. Her husband changed his phone number and email address. I wish I knew what happened, I wish she had a blog about it, becuase I would read that crap up. 

One of my favorite blogs to read is written by a girl, let's call her V. V went to BYUI, though we never met.  I was in a class with her sister once, but we never spoke. V is married to a guy named J. We had probably 2 or 3 classes together, but we never spoke. I thought he was super cool thus I was very intimidated by him. He used to date one of my college bffs and they would make out a lot. 

I do not recall how I ever came across her blog, I am not friends with her or her husband, yet I could go into great detail about their lives. This is the magic of blogs. Getting to know people without ever knowing them.

V recently posted on her blog a questionnaire. I want to be just like her cause she is awesome so I shall do it too.

1. If someone kindly offers you something you really just do not want, are you the kind of person who

a) accepts graciously 

b) accepts but reluctantly and perhaps trashes the item later 
c) flat-out refuses, in a trying-to-be-friendly way, but you really stand your ground, potentially making things quite awkward.

I have at some point done all of these in various situations, but overall I am typically a B. 


2. People are often told they look like a famous person. Who's someone you've been told you look like?  

In grad school, my given nickname by a number of people was Melissa Joan Hart. 


I'm sure they meant MJH is her teen Clarissa Explains it All years, so I'll go with this picture. Also, the two people that were most adamant that Melissa and I looked alike were black. I'm sure this is like how some people think all asian people look the same, black people must people must think all white girls look like Melissa Joan Hart.




Maybe I can see a little resemblance in this picture, with her chubbier and brunetter. 

3. What sense would you lose if you had to lose one?  

Is it true that without smell, you can't taste? I've had a cold the last few days and have not been able to breathe through my nose, and yesterday I was eating a piece of pizza and thought, why am I eating this? I can't even taste it. Needless to say, I would go with smell. It seems non-essential for daily living. 

4. Are you a fight or flight kind of person? Give an example. 

I think I would fail at either one of these. I sure am not a fighter, but I am out of shape and lazy, and would definitely not be able to "flight" successfully enough to escape from danger. So alas, doomed either way, I would probably be a flighter. 


5. What are one or more foods that you used to hate but now absolutely love? 

Cantaloupe! I hated it, and most melons, as a child, but I distinctly remember a time babysitting when I was in high school where I decided to give it another shot. I loved it, ate it all, and did not give any to the children. Not my best babysitting moment. 


6. What's a food you used to love but now hate? 

I can't say I ever really loved instant mashed pototaes, but as my first post wisdom teeth removal meal I now have quite the aversion to them. 

7. If you had to name your child one of these names, which would you pick?

    a. Gertrude
    b. Hilda 
    c. Bathsheba
    d. Chastity 

Yikes, would probably go with Gertrude on this one based on possible less horrific nicknames. 

8. What's your dream job? Like, if you lived in an alternate universe.  


This is a tough one. Sadly, I don't think my current job is my dream one. Maybe with a few alterations and circumstance changes, maybe. I'm going to have to ponder on this one more. 


9. What's a movie you daydream of being the star of? 

Hm, probably a movie that provided the star with some anonymity, but still lots and lots of money.  Maybe Elizabeth Bennett from the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice, but with an immensely large paycheck. 



10.  If a T-Rex suddenly appeared in your neighborhood, where would you hide? 

Well in Jurassic Park The Lost World, Jeff Goldbloom and his black daughter hid in that elevator tree hut thing pretty successfully, but if I didn't have access to one of those probably my closet.

11. You have mint chocolate chip ice cream and fudge brownie ice cream. Which do you choose after dinner?   

Fudge brownie. Unless I had something for dinner that made my breath funky and I wanted to use the mint to mask the nastiness.


12. What are you currently watching on Netflix? or the last thing you watched. 

I have been watching an episode of the Office every night as I fell asleep. Which is weird, because I own the seasons of the Office on DVD and have seen every episode countless times. But the Office is so so bad now, and I like to remember the good times. 


13. What's a secret about you that nobody knows?   

I see dead people.
