I’ll echo Ryan\_Liam with the B5 reference - when I saw the series, I readily identified with Delenn. I think I was at a point in my life where I could sympathise with her attempts at juggling her sense of duty, her beliefs, and what the world expected of her. 🙂

Dawson. My personality is similar, I want to be a director, and I even look like the guy.

One of my friends has described me as the love child of Ross Geller and Daria, which I think is fairly accurate, if difficult to imagine.

Jeremy from Sports Night. Fairly intelligent (high IQ but no degrees) with a broad but unfocused knowledge base. I also have a tactile sense of humour. Hard to explain. And I keep an umbrella so I don’t get wet in the rain.

Others have described me as a “Peppy Dennis Miller” or a “Relaxed Lewis Black”.

Excellent.

For some reason, I can really relate to the uncle from “Grounded for Life”.

Probably Tara from BtVS. I’m very quiet until I feel comfortable around people.
