A revelation

I don't think of myself as HIGHLY predictable...but I do have some things that I do over and over again. Like blog, for example. Or eat cheese. Or watch 'The Bachelor'. Or sleep til 7:15 Monday - Friday.

That being said, there are things I do daily like brush my teeth. And things I do weekly like watch 'The Real Housewives of New York City'. And things I do monthly like pay my student loans (except for the last 5 months where, you know, I paid them TWICE...how does someone not notice that?). And then things I do yearly like...open presents on Christmas (YESSSSSS).

Apart from those regular activities, there are some things that I frequently do infrequently. Huh? One of those things is see what celebrities I look like via the internet.

Now, from time to time, I have people tell me that I look like Drew Barrymore...which...is kind of nice since she's a Cover Girl and famous actress and all...but I don't necessarily think is true. However, whenever this happens it gets me curious...because...do I really look like her? How can I know?!?!

Now, see the above paragraph where I mentioned that every so often I like to do a celebrity face match up and see what the internet has to offer me. Well, 'every so often' happened yesterday, and boy was I surprised with the results.

You might remember that a few years ago I did a celebrity face-matcher, when I had short hair, and was surprised to find that I got put next to Enrique Iglesias. I'm pretty sure that they asked if I was a man or a woman before I uploaded my picture to the site but...anyway. I was pretty amused by the results, but then...the more I looked at the picture of us, side by side, the more I realized that...huh...we did have similarly shaped eyes and a mole to the left of our noses.

Well, yesterday, again (is the definition of insanity doing the same thing multiple times and expecting different results? It is, right? EESH), I uploaded a picture of me to facedouble.com and...

First, I got Tina Fey...which...like...we DO have the same haircut but...we don't really look alike

(I realize this is kind of an absurd photo comparison as I'm shrouded in shadow and Tina is lit up...but...apart from our similar hair...we don't really look alike. Not to mention the fact that, though I LOVE HER, WHICH I DO, she always seems to smile with her mouth closed while I only smile with my mouth open. Just sayin')

And next, the real ringer, I got


WHAT? First of all, I don't look like Dakota Fanning. And second of all, I certainly don't look like A CHILD VERSION of Dakota Fanning. WHAT?! She is 10 in that picture and grinning like a tard. Do I look like that in the picture on the left? Is there something I'm not picking up on? As I said to those around me, don't we assume that celebrities you're going to be matched with are similar in age to you? Like...even if I did look like Dakota Fanning...the fact that she's 10 in that picture would mean I can't be matched with her because I'm 25?

Suffice it to say, I shared many laughs yesterday over this topic because...my life is really full and this is what I have to laugh about?...it just seemed so ridiculous to me.

I talked to Kate on the phone last night, and after discussing the picture (I'm not kidding you when I say that I talked about this all day), and my previous comparison to Enrique Iglesias...she shrieked and said 'OH MY GOSH! You look like Enrique Iglesias and Dakota Fanning's love child'

OH MY GOD. I do, don't I? This explains why I like Latin music so much...I'm half Latina! (too soon?).

In other news, Kate was so tickled by my results on facedouble.com (I swear I'm not working for them on the side) that she did her own upload and


In conclusion, this site has to be a joke right?

I'm totally doing this right now. I'm thinking it will pick either Owen Wilson or that guy from the Dukes of Hazzard, the blonde one. John something. But I'm a girl. See? It's funny like that! You do have freakishly similar hair to Tina Fey.
