Midterms and Memes

[araminta18]

Ok, midterms just came and swallowed me up.  3 tests, two days, and I've got more next week.  My brain is fried...  I did get a couple papers back though, which is good.  I did better than I thought for the paper in my Jane Austen class (on Northanger Abbey, in case you were curious). The assignment sheet makes a big deal out of originality and so

1. I didn't say my thoughts were original--there just slightly different, because I'm slightly different. My one original (well, as far as I know) idea was my paper on how "Wuthering Heights" actually reaffirms traditional female roles, rather than advocating feminism, as it seems to at first glance. :)
I would love to work in the Archives at a museum...I'm still homesick for the Archives Center that I worked in at DC.

3. *sheepish look* Yea, I'm not big into questions like that--I never know what to put! I don't look at all like Ruth Wilson, but at least in Jane Eyre, she's not really very pretty, except in certain shots/certain lights/at certain times. And I feel that way a lot. I'm not striking or pretty, but at certain times or at certain angles, I can be. There was this one girl on the PBS show "Zoom" about 10 years ago who looked *exactly* like me, but I don't remember her name. :) Oh wait, yea for google. http://pbskids.org/zoom/cast/homepages/zoe/ That's almost exactly what I looked like when I was about 10 or 11. People I knew kept asking me if I had seen the show and seen the girl who looked exactly like me. So, if she's still acting, she'd probably play me, just for sheer authenticity. :D

I feel that way about myself too. I confess, sometimes I stand in front of the mirror and tilt my head different ways trying to find the ways I look nice.

That's funny! :-D And it was probably a little weird too.

I would think that most girls, at some time or another, feel that way about themselves. And I've done the mirror thing--I definitely have a "good side" but I can never remember which one it is! :)

It was weird...I showed that webpage to my roommate, who had never seen the show, without any explanation, and the first thing out of her mouth was "she looks like you! Exactly like you!" They say we all have a doppelganger somewhere in the world; apparently I've found mine.

:-D

I'm not sure I'd want to find mine! Actually, when I was younger I had some friends that thought I looked like that girl who was on Wishbone. (The show with the dog, you know it?) I was flattered, but I don't know what made them think that. (I just looked up her picture, and we didn't look alike at all. So now I really don't know what gave them that idea!)

Oh, I used to love Wishbone! Still would, probably, if I could find it still airing... I'd feel flattered, that girl was pretty! :) Yea for old PBS shows.
