Yay, I made _ **a** _ list. Although, I’m not sure I agree with you, Shayna. I’ll have to get a head-shot taken. 🙂

People tell me I look like Ted Raimi, the actor who plays that goofball “Joxer the Mighty” on Xena - not because of that role, but because of the role he played earlier on Seaquest DSV - that of Lieutenant J.G. Timothy O’Neill.

This is a guy who, despite the comic-relief nature of his best-known role - and I’m not talking about his bit parts in Army of Darkness - gets tons more women, fame, and fortune than I do. He even has his own following: TRIFC (pronounced “terrific”) - the Ted Raimi International Fan Club.

Here is [Ted Raimi](http://seaquest.scificentral.net/ted.jpg) as O’Neill, and here is picture of [me](http://members.aol.com/lithonius/images/pc01.jpg) with oddly similar lighting.

You be the judge.

I think the only way for anyone to know who Wendy Moniz is without looking her up is to be a member of _Guiding Light_’s viewing audience.

Woohoo. Noone’s mentioned me. So far I just look like myself, and that is plenty fine.

**Eve** reminded me of Natasha for some reason from the moment I downloaded the pic…umm from Rocky and Bullwinkle. Something in her regalness.

**Arnold W.** reminds me of Carrot Top – and that’s a compliment cause I think he’s a cutie and damn funny.

When I first saw **Shayna’s** picture, she reminded me of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman when she’s wearing that red dress, a complete knock out.

**Persephone/Cristi** reminds me of Molly Ringwald. It’s the hair and the smile.

Personally, I thought that **Diane** looks like Stevie Nicks.

**Ellen,** you kind of look like my mother did when she was younger. (not famous but when I saw the picture I about freaked.)

Just a few of things I thought about when going through the pics before and now.

**Shayna** , you are the _shit_! Your comparisons are right on.

Hey, **ChrisCTP** : Welcome back, girl! Nice to see ya back around these parts…  
**Welfy** looks _very_ familiar. Looks just like my old, “best school friend” from the JC. 😉

And once again it is shown that I am unique, and there are no others that look like me, act like me, or think like me.

Or to have seen the Oprah produced _Tuesdays With Morrie_ also starring Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria, or last season’s (now defunct) _Battery Park_.

And thank you, **Techchick**. I don’t see it, but I can’t count the number of people who’ve made that same comparison. I was even stopped at Universal Studios by another actor who thought I really was her, and someone once asked me for my (her) autograph. I’m going out and buying everyone really strong glasses. LOL!

When asked what celeb I most resemble I often throw out Tatumn O’Neal as well…I looked JUST like the “Bad News Bears” version of her when I was a kid. No way I look like Jodie Foster, though. My face is too darn round.

And I’d like to stand in line for Mr. Cynical. He’s pretty cute (and he put me on his crush list).

You think I look like Ted Bundy?!  
What the Hell?  
And here all this time I thought I only talked like a psycho killer, come to find out that I look like one, too.

But hey, there is some good news, guys. I recently got a little USB cam for my PC, so I can get some better pics of me up and running on my web page.

Good thing, too. I can’t have people thinking I look like that lunatic.  
On the plus side, this has inspired me to take my pic, and doctor it up so I look like a clown.  
That’ll be pretty funny.

Wow, really? A few people have said that. Too bad my picture isn’t that clear… :^\

People say that I sorta look like Claire Danes (not in that picture though)

**Monster104** looks like Matt Damon.

You know, the only time anyone ever compares me to anyone else, it ALWAYS…and I mean ALWAYS…goes one of two ways.

“You remind me of a chick I knew in high school. Damn, was she weird. But I mean, you know, in a GOOD way.”

Or,

“You remind me of a chick I knew in high school. I **HATED** that bitch. But I don’t hate you. You just look like her.”

And I know people are going to kill me, but I thought Shayna looked like Paula Abdul.

Only the eyes dear, only the eyes. The rest of you is a testament to the marvelous creativity of nature. Witness your hair, flaxen beauty, spun like gold in the sun. Your lips delicate and light, making me ache for a taste. Yuor smile bends me with pain, for I know that it is not for me alone.

Any better?

Damn, you’re good. My righteous indignation vaporizes under the influence of your honeyed words. Resistance is melting, and a smile flirts across my lips (this one for you alone, babe).

I don’t know if it really comes across in my SDPP pic, but I’ve often been told that I look like a younger John Goodman.
