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.

I am an Annie Edison. I put so much of my self-worth into my academic career that I make myself sick with the stress, and that's just what happened to me in high school. It wasn't an Adderall addiction, but it still took me out of school, and I was stuck going to community college. I get so wrapped up in the things I'm working on that I throw temper tantrums when I'm interrupted or things don't go my way, but I also learn from my mistakes and become a better, more mature person just through living.

As for the life I'm like . . . gotta go with Liz Lemon. That's me in ten years, except instead of writing for television I'll be writing about television. I have the food issues, the dating issues, the neuroses and the baggage. I'm kind of expecting to be a single white imperfect Third Wave feminist who orders takeout every night and uses her treadmill to hang clothes on. I expect I'll have a Jenna to babysit, and a Jack to please, but I don't really mind the possibility of that life anymore.

I knew you would say Annie! *is not surprised*

Hee!

but I don't really mind the possibility of that life anymore.

It sounds pretty good to me!
