One day last year, I was walking down the hall at school and a Mom who was dropping something off for her kid stopped me.
"Oh my God! I have been meaning to tell you this for so long! Do you know you have a twin?" she asked, excitedly.
"I do?" I replied, not wanting in any way to be involved in a conversation with a Mom during my free period. All I'd wanted was to make it to the bathroom unnoticed and slip back into my grotto under the stage.
"Yes! Do you watch Big Love?"
"No, I've never seen it." This was before we had HBO - probably during our Six Feet Under on NetFlix stint.
"You look exactly like one of the characters! Nicki!! The second wife! Oh my God!! My daughters and I say that every single time we see her! If your hair was blonde, you would totally BE her!!" she exclaimed, sounding a lot like a 13 year-old girl herself.
"Huh - I will have to check that out," I said as I slowly backed away and headed towards the bathroom.
I wasn't sure what disturbed me more: possibly having a celebrity döppelganger, or the fact that I was a routine topic of discussion for this woman and her children during prime-time television at their house.
Anyway, we ended up renting the first season of Big Love last month and I really love the show. And the other night, HE subscribed us to HBO On Demand and I can get my fix of Season 2 anytime I like. And we don't even need to leave the couch to do so... WOO HOO!
As for me and Nicki? I'll let you be the judge...
SIDENOTE: The photo of me was taken - BY ME - last summer when we were in Maine. It was the middle of the night, on the beach, and we were both drunk beyond repair. It wasn't until a few days later when I uploaded the photos off my camera that we even remembered being there.

I think there is a striking resemblance between you and Chloe Sevigny. WOW...it would appear you DO have a celebrity doppelganger.
And, it's nice to finally *see* the Pensive Turtle. :)
The resemblance is there. Doppleganger is a strong word, but I see it.
