You look just like...!

Apparently, I look like everyone. I don't mind the frequent "You look just like my friend from high school" when first meeting people and I don't mind the frequent call outs to celebrity look-a-likes, but when a new co-worker the other day told me I looked like Mira Sorvino (one I haven't heard before), I couldn't help but think that this was starting to get a little ridiculous.

I've put together a collection of all the movie stars I've been told I look like and I've discovered a pattern. Basically, it's anyone with small eyes, and at times, a big nose: Mira Sorvino, Rene Zellweger, Pam Beasley aka Jenna Fischer, Juliette Lewis, Helen Hunt, Jennifer Gray aka Baby from Dirty Dancing, Angelica Houston (specifically her character on Witches), Rachel Glenn (Bill Nye the Science Guy's assistant), and Alice from the Honeymooners (I ironically got this one when I was a mere 10 years old).

Sadly, my resemblance to famous faces is not limited to female actresses. No, I have also been told I look like Legolas, the guy from Dawson's Creek, and Tom Hanks (this one I actually discovered for myself, but those who are honest enough agree with me).

And yes, if you were wondering, my Ashley look-a-likes also extend to the animal kingdom. With my jungle eyes and wild hair, I have been told by more than one person that I look like a jungle cat. I decided that looking like a cat wasn't so bad, but when a former roommate of mine eagerly informed me that I looked more like a bulldog than a cat I decided not to share my look-a-like list with her anymore (and I decided I should do something about my droopy cheeks).

So, put all these faces together, and you've got...me! A girl that looks eerily similar to a guy in my friend's ward directory.

Love and Miracle Report

Last year (2009 for anyone who has forgotten) was the year of love and miracles. Some of us worked pretty hard doing everything we could to bring about love and miracles and I was just wondering if anyone would like to report on any outcomes. . .
