Celebrity Look-Alikes

I do things like this when I am bored, and I haven’t done one of these in ages! So I went to myheritage.com and had one done using a photo I snapped of myself a few months back (when I was up late one night).

I remember when I used to do these a few years ago one of the people I always got was Kristin Kreuk (Smallville) and a lot of the time I would get Audrey Tautou (The Da Vinci Code). As usual I got a few lovely Asian women, I don’t know who they are but I do know they are not the same ones I would get before. I remember getting BoA (singer) and there was this one other Japanese woman who always came up so eventually I had looked her up and found out that she was a porn star LOL!

As far as what I get told in real life: Ever since I was a kid in the the early 80’s I have been told that I look like Valerie Bertinelli and have been hearing that for ages. Also lot of people do think I look somewhat Asian, which is cool because you know guys think Asian chicks are hot

Where I come from…

we do not leave our car doors unlocked, like ever. Sometimes not even when you are in the car and driving. Seriously.

we never leave a car window open unless in the car and even then you close them real fast when you are about to drive through certain neighborhoods.

we call ice cream sprinkles “jimmies”.

fluffernutters are a staple of childhood. And you make them with Marshmallow FLUFF, not creme!

there were a ton of stores and places to eat in walking distance.

I had a bus stop right around the corner from my house, so I could easily get to the places I couldn’t walk to.

6 inches of snow is considered a dusting.

there are at least 24 Dunkin Donuts within 15 minutes of your house. I actually had 2 that were only 5 minutes away.

you would often find a packie right near those Dunkin Donuts (at least in my city). Don’t know what a “packie” is, do you? (see below)

we call liquor stores “packies”.

In Indy…

People often leave car doors unlocked and windows open, even in store parking lots! WTF?!?

I got a weird look at the ice cream place when I asked for jimmies once. (I wasn’t aware no one else called them that lol)

My boyfriend was deprived of that simple childhood pleasure that is a fluffernutter. I have since introduced him to them and he likes them! Also found out that fluffernutters originated in New England (though have since made their way around the country and in some cases world. Yay fluffernutters!)

There is nothing in walking distance. Nada.

The nearest bus stop is 1/2 an hour away, which would have been OK except that there are no sidewalks and sometimes no pavement at all (unless I want to walk in traffic). Makes me sad.

They announce that 2″ of snow is expected and schools get closed, people do panic ’stock piling’ shopping and when it falls people suddenly can’t drive and cause accidents and even pile ups like crazy. Pathetic.

I think I have seen only 1 Dunkin Donuts. So weird.

I compiled this because since I moved I often find myself saying things that start with “Where I come from….” Some of the things on this list I got from online lists, but they are things that anyone back home can tell you and stuff I often say.
I will probably add more to this as more things happen, or as I remember them.

Star Trek!

We have a geek date tonight! After Ken gets out of work we are heading out to get something to eat at Skyline Chili then we’ll hang out at the comic book store for a bit, make a pit stop at home then it will be off to see the new Star Trek movie! Can’t wait to see it!

Other things going on:

I happened to get out of work early today, which is good because I would have been bored, but bad because I lose some money. *sigh*

Had a migraine that lasted for a week, got really bad and I had to miss 2 (out of only 3) days of work that week.

Amandas hair cut came out looking pretty cute, though I was unable to do any actual style to it. *sigh*

The robins seemed to have abandoned the nest, that usually means the eggs were infertile. 

That is about it, can’t think of anything else. *shrug*
