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.

As for life, I don't know. I don't know if there are any occasionally suicidal, gay, British teenagers who spend all of their time on the internet or at school, being a bitch to anyone who tries to talk to them and sometimes setting things on fire.

Actually, leaving aside the gay thing, that description sounds strangely similar to Simon in the first series of Misfits...even down to the setting things on fire! ;D
