You look just like...

that girl from "My Two Dads"/Darlene from Roseanne/Celine Dion/Gloria Estefan/Jennifer Aniston/ the girl from Meet Joe Black/the mom from Diary of a Wimpy Kid/my neighbor/my daughter/my niece/my friend's cousin's neighbor's daughter.

I guess I just have one of "those faces." Complete strangers often feel compelled to stop me in the middle of the mall to tell me that I look like someone. When I was a waitress I couldn't go a night without someone telling me I looked like someone they knew or had seen on a TV show somewhere. Most of the time I think if you tell someone they look like someone else it's supposed to be a compliment. Only a couple of times did it make me want to cry. 

Here are pictures of some of the various other people I've been told I look like. Mind you, some of these I find more flattering than others (sorry Sara Gilbert). 

The one I've probably heard the most (although not in recent years since I think she's dropped off the planet) is Staci Keenan, of 80's and 90's sitcom fame. [Note: the pics I've included here I've chosen because I feel like they represent the resemblance people/compete nutjobs have noticed. Most of them involve dark hair and a somewhat prominent nose. Oy.]

Next up is probably my least favorite. Darlene (Sara Gilbert) from Roseanne. The first one is when she was younger while one the show, the second one is more recent. 

Next up are a few weird ones. Celine Dion and Gloria Estefan. All I can say is, if you think I have a big nose just tell me.

And here's another weird one. But I rather like it. My high school friend's dad told me once that I looked JUST like the girl in Meet Joe Black (Claire Forlani). Oh what a nice man. To be honest, I think all he saw at the time was a similar haircut, but hey, I'll take this comparison any day. Also, he might have been drunk.

In more recent years, a girlfriend told me that I looked like the mom (Rachael Harris) in the movie adaption of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." I googled it, and this is definitely more like the "aging-mommy-glasses-wearing-me" I've been for about the past 6-8 years.

And the funniest one (to me) was Jennifer Aniston. It's another one that I quite like, although I think it's complete rubbish. Actually, it was really only one guy (a former co-worker) who thought I looked like Jennifer Aniston. After one hilarious and memorable lunch in our office's staff room it was revealed that Adam (who is black) thought that any petite-ish white girl with long hair looked like Jennifer Aniston.

As of today, add one more to the list. Apparently I look like the Duchess Katherine in her (bad) new portrait. The one that makes her look like she's in her mid-thirties and has spent all night up with one of her three kids who was sick/having nightmares/teething. Oh wait, no wonder she looks like me.
