Ever since Good Will Hunting came out I always have people telling me I look like Matt Damon.

It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever.

Someone told me I looked like Katie Holmes (Dawson’s Creek). I didn’t know who she was so I looked her up on the web and just about fell off my chair laughing. Minus about 40 pounds and plus about 3 feet of hair, haha. I wish! What a crack smoker!

I’m sometimes told I look like Seth Green. I don’t see much resemblence, except for the personality.  
I also get David Boreanaz, and yeah, my friends and I watch Buffy a lot.

I also look like that guy that made love to the pie in “American Pie”. For the next 2 weeks, everyone kept asking me “Do you like pie?” and “Homemade or McDonalds?” I’m not getting out the house when it comes out on video.

I’ve been told I look like the chick who played Agnes of God in the movie, also whatever the hell that girl’s name is who played “Blossom” and when I was about 14 I looked exactly like Christie McNichol did when SHE was about 14.

I’ve been told I’m a ringer for Kevin Bacon. Same voice, too. Not sure if that’s good or bad. He seems kind of a weenie to me.

Not me, but…

My mom is a quarter Korean; for some reason, she looked much more Asian when she was younger than she does now. Anyway, one day she was on a plane and her seatmate became very restless and fidgety. At the end, as they were deplaning, the woman asked, “I’m sorry to bother you, but I’ve got to know. Are you Yoko Ono?”

I’ve seen pics of her when she was younger and the resemblance is indeed uncanny. To make matters worse, my dad, when _much_ younger, bore a passing resemblance to John Lennon, except for being dead.

When I was in high school and had long flowing locks, I was told quite a bit that I looked like Genie Francis from General Hospital.

Then I cut my hair to a bob and dyed it darker and I was told quite a bit that I looked Like Winona Ryder.

Now my hair is micro short and I look like me.

After looking at Opal’s picture of Brendan Fraser in the Irrtational Crushes thread, I am really hoping…does anyone out there look like Brendan??? 🙂

People have repeatedly told me I look like Sylvester Stallone. Errm. I disagree strongly. Less pecs, more brains. Oh well…

The first part of my username is my old college nickname, which was given to me because my freshman year I looked a lot like Rick(y) Schroeder from his ‘Silver Spoons’ era. Today not so much.

D’OH!

Sorry. I am been f-in up names all over the place this week. I must have pulled Scott Baio outa my butt. I’m not sure why I read Valentine as Baio, but even more disturbing is that his name was there to pull out.

## I am not sure who Scott Valentine is, but I am sure you are also cuter than him.

Hmm…I was told several times I have “ScullyHair.” Personally, I don’t see it…but my friends SWEAR it’s true.

Aside from that…nope, don’t look like anyone but myself. Always an oddball… 😉

A girl once told me I was a dead ringer for Steve Buscemi, but she must have been on some powerful drugs at the time. I don’t think I look like any celebrity in particular. (Blatant self-promotion: now that a picture is included with [my profile](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/profiles/auraseer.html), you can see me for yourself.)
