Wait! I’m Auntie Em too! I always wanted to explore my feminine side, but I pictured myself as more like Xena. ---

I’m a Scarecrow. I don’t know, I think **auntie em** , at least from her screen persona, could probably REALLY be an Auntie Em. I betcha people tell you strange stories, don’t they? Right? It is interesting that both have been men. Hmmm. ---

Perhaps you’re thinking of the fact that I’m a freak magnet… but the “freaks” don’t tell strange stories, they usually just grin and stare at me a lot. 😉 ---

Uncle Henry You are dependable and honorable. You pour your heart into work for yourself and your family or friends, content in the knowledge that the work they do for you and the appreciation they have for you is all the thanks you need. Throughout your life, many people will take comfort in your strength. When you wonder if their confidence is unjustified, do not try to lessen their faith in you, but instead rise to their expectations. Who the heck was Uncle Henry? I liked the blurbs underneath-- very horoscope-ish. _-me_ ---

Apparently, I’m the Tin Man. I have no idea what it says about me, though… > [@](#): > > The Tin Man > You have an unusual appreciation of others. You can enjoy someone else’s good fortune, and you find it hard to ignore the pain of another person. Your empathy will win you many friends in life, but it can also be exploited by manipulative people. Be kind and friendly, as is your nature, but when helping others, be careful to risk only what you can afford to lose. ---

Glinda. Darn, I never liked her much. Besides which, “You have been gifted with special talents and abilities. These are an honor, but also a burden,” sounds like something my parents would say in a motivational lecture. ---

I’m Dorothy too! > [@](#): > > The unlikely hero whose time has come. You have a heart of gold and usually look for the best in people. While you have a strong sense of justice, you also care a great deal about others and their well-being. Your optimism can make you seem naive, but this helps you to see purpose in a cause after others have given up. Never stop improving the world! ---
