identity crisis.
I'm supposed to be writing a paper, so of course I'm making the decision to update lj instead. Some things don't change.

I just feel the need to record an odd phenomenon in my life.

Drunkenly, my friend down the hall told me I look just like one of her relatives in France.
Over block break, a girl on the trip I was on called me Claire accidentally, and then explained that it was because I remind her so much of her friend at home in Wisconsin named Claire.
Tonight, one of the girl's who works at Wooglin's pointed at me to a guy behind the counter when I walked in, then came to get my order saying I look exactly like one of her coworker's relatives in Michigan, and that "at first i thought that you were her".

What the fuck. 

I know everyone gets this to some extent, but I feel like it happens to me uncannily often. It's usually along the lines of what's above, as well as asking if I'm related to particular people, or if I have a sibling, and some people just say that I seem familiar. I started noticing this working at Humble, when this happened consistently once or twice a month. 

I'm starting to think I need a better response then my standard lame joke about having a generic face. Maybe this is an issue to take up with my dad, who claims to forget most things that happened in his life prior to middle age. 
I don't know. it's just weird and only preoccupying me because of the frequency.

shiiittt why is it 9PM already.

thats really funny because there is an australian girl who just came to my town named nicole, and the first time i met her i kept thinking WOW she reminds me of nicole gautier.

sorry. thats pretty much the opposite sort of response you want to get.

I agree, maybe some sort of Maori style mask. That's really the only solution... really.
