A friend of mine recently said I should be watching the show Surface, because there’s a lot of similarity between one of the characters and I.

[ul]She’s a marine biologist[/ul]
[ul]I’m a marine biologist[/ul]

[ul]She lives in Sausalito, CA[/ul]
[ul]I lived in Sausalito, CA (until June 2005)[/ul]

[ul]She went to Berkeley for school[/ul]
[ul]I went to Berkeley for school[/ul]

[ul]She is fascinated by X-Files type conspiracies[/ul]
[ul]I am fascinated by X-Files type conspiracies[/ul]

[ul]She’s been attacked by genetically engineered creatures[/ul]
[ul]I’ve been attacked… well, I guess it had to end somewhere :wink: [/ul]

Have you ever noticed peculiar similarities between people in TV/Movies and people you know in real life? How similar did it get?

Art Imitates Life? Life Imitates Art?
