I second the Largeman one.
You are soooo right G
Now THAT would be an interesting scenario for Ranian FanFic!
Also would be the rescue of Eddie Willers or an alternate story where Eddie & Cheryl Taggart hook up before she can off herself.
I have been compared to Howard Roark from The Fountainhead, but I just don’t see it.
Hmm, I’d say sort of a mixture of Jane Eyre and Luna Lovegood. I’ve also been compared to Emma Thompson’s character from Peter’s Friends, but it’s been seven years since I saw it, so I couldn’t say how accurate the comparison is these days.
Sunday night my best friend told me that after seeing Finding Nemo for the fiftieth time this summer (his 18mo old niece loves it) he’d decided I was Dory “only with a better memory.” After everyone laughed he explained that I took everything in stride and would be good company on a quest, which I thought was nice.
As a teenager I couldn’t have identified more with Meg from Wrinkle in Time if Madeline L’Engle had based her on me specifically. Only my genius brother was older, not younger. But otherwise it was a match, right down to some odd mannerisms, like cutting my knuckles on my braces.
I was convinced that someone who wrote for “My So-Called Life” had to have known me in high school - from the same blunt haircut, same “doesn’t exist in nature” haircolor, crush on the too-cool-for-you-dear guy, to finding out what it’s like when you don’t have anything in common with your friends anymore.
I also wanted to be Muffy Tepperman, but I think I was more of a Patty (Square Pegs). I still have my copy of “The Preppy Handbook!”
Not a character, but I see myself as a cross between Anita Loos and Dorothy Parker.
Forgot to add that Mr. Kat thinks I’m a brunette Diane Chambers (Cheers), and his worst nightmare is that I’ll age into a Hyacinth (Keeping Up Appearances). :eek:
The character I most closely identify with is Tony Fremont from The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood.
And I’ll cop to being another Hermione as a kid, too. Smart, impatient, and kind of annoying. Yeah, that was me.
I’m a host of extra characters… the ones sitting in the corners reading, writing ot otherwise occupied while the rest of the world marches past. You leading characters never notice us but we are there giving your world depth and percective and the occasion pithy remark.
But apparently NOT good grammar or decent spelling skills! 
My friends always say I’m like a female version of Chandler.
My choice of TV character that best reflects me would definitely vary based on a lot of factors.
Sometimes, Oz from Buffy is a good fit - passive, unemotional observer, occasionally interjecting a witty comment.
Sometimes, more in the Chandler or Xander vein - somewhat manic, sarcastic.
Sometimes Giles from Buffy - Overthinking, worrying, but ruthlessly practical.
Tough question.
Best I can come up with is to say I’m a mix between Hunter S Thompson and Butters from South Park. I’m always polite and courtious, and come off as naive to many people. Of course I also have a speech impediment, constantly forgetting what words I was going to use to make up a sentence so I replace them with words that don’t fit in at all and hope nobody notices. I have the jibbering jabbering thing down to a Q. Check out this list of places people have thought I was from:
Canada
Boston
New York
Russia
Britain
France
Puerto Rico (not sure how this ended up on the list…)
Italy
Germany
I was born in South Carolina, and grew up in the southeast. Also, I tend not to respect authority, and posses a twisted sense of humor.
Some days I wake up and I’m a hybrid of Cruella DeVille and the Baby Eating Bishop of Bath and Wells. Other days I’m less perky and charitable towards the world.
I thought Chandler was a woman.
