random game of randomness
First of all, to all of you who left me comments on the love-meme, y'all are wonderful. Your comments moved me so much, and I know that I'll revisit them often when I'm feeling really down. I love y'all so much.
So let's play a game, okay? Just because I'm curious.
Tell me:
1) Which fandom character you most identify with personality/emotions-wise
2) Which fandom character's life you most identify with
Like this:
1) Emotionally, I really relate to Annie Sawyer from Being Human. She's a very emotional person, but that's not portrayed as a bad thing. She's just easily overcome by her feelings, both good and bad. She's more outgoing than I am, and she doesn't seem to have a passion about anything the way I do/did about writing and school, but she reacts to things emotionally the way I would. I also quite relate to Sam Seaborn in that I'm smart (though not a smart as him--the guy's a genius) but I'm very insecure and have a difficult time believing I can accomplish all I want to accomplish or that I deserve to play with the big kids. I'm always half-afraid that people are going to find out that I'm a giant loser and that I'm not nearly as smart as they think I am. He's also an idealist who tends to live in his head, which I am too. I can imagine him getting as frustrated as I do that I have to deal with the details of life instead of just living my dreams all the time. (Oh, and you all know I relate to Spike. Emotionally. Not in the details at all.)
2.) Julie Taylor. She's a white, straight, middle class, red state girl with a little sister and parents who love each other and a good home environment. She goes to church, does well in school, and doesn't live the party kind of life. She has some good friends but doesn't seem to have lots of them. Now, there are lots of details that don't match up with me--the boyfriends and her little acts of rebellion (and let's leave most of S5 out of this, because: NO). But her life is the closest thing I've ever seen to my life on television.
Anybody up for this? I'm really interested! I feel we can learn a lot about each other from this.

And, I forgot to say that there are also some good things about Veronica that I relate to--I have a fairly good lexicon of pop culture references at the ready--and I tend to have a pretty quick wit (though not as quick or as acerbic as hers). And I'm (I think rightly) enraged by injustice like she is. I don't like it when the evil get parting gifts. But I don't think I'm as wrathful as she is. So, just as easily enraged, but more forgiving. So, it's not all bad. But I have a hard time analyzing Veronica with a clear head, because I feel like we're so much alike in so many ways, that I sort of breeze by the good aspects of her personality (not that I don't think she's good--because I DO. But, it's more that I take for granted her goodness--I don't feel like there should be any argument on the matter, so I don't give a lot of thought to how she is (or I am) good) and then I want to examine the more negative stuff in lurid detail because I feel like it gives me a better handle on myself. I'm also very wound up in my own issues--not unlike Veronica. So.

Yeah, Veronica's a fascinating character precisely because she has so many flaws and so many great qualities. But I hear you on dwelling on the negative stuff: I can be the same way.
