I am often told by strangers that I look exactly like a celebrity. The peculiar thing to me is that it is never the same celebrity. It has happened a couple of times in the past couple of weeks, and I decided I would like to start keeping track of my many celebrity doppelgangers.
1. Kirsten Dunst

A gay man in Seattle ran up to me in the street and told me I looked EXACTLY like her, and I must get that all the time. Nope. Never have before and never have since. This is a common characteristic of these celebrity sightings. People are always hesitant to tell me because they are all so afraid that I've heard it too many times.
2. Maggie Gyllenhaal

This one I was so ecstatic about! I had recently cut my hair short and wore it curly. I wanted to look like her when a regular customer at the Blue Dog told me that he thought I was a dead-ringer for her. Within the following month, two other customers told me the same thing.
3. Fiona Apple

Again, another customer at Blue Dog casually mentioned that I looked like her. She asked me if I had heard that before. "No," I said. And with a proud smile added, "But people do tell me I look like Maggie Gyllenhaal." The girl gasped. "Totally!" she said. "You look exactly like her!"
4. The chick from "Scrubs"

At my 23rd birthday gathering, a rather drunk boy who I had met once before started ranting how I looked like this lovely lady. I ran into him this past weekend. He did not remember ever meeting me, but did remember that I looked JUST like this girl.
5. Mia Farrow

At the boyfriend's work's Christmas party, the wife of one of his co-workers insisted I look like Woody Allen's old fling. I like thinking I look like a movie star from times past. I approve this one.
6. Taylor Swift

My friend Brehnan told me this one. I was a bit surprised. To me, Swift is much like a country barbie doll. She is pretty sure, but she doesn't look like a real human. I am kind of afraid of her. But two days after Brehnan broke the news to me, he texted me at midnight, saying simply "TAYLOR MOTHERFUCKING SWIFT."
