What fictional personality or how they act is most similar to your own? It could be how they move, how they talk, how they look, or anything else. Give a hint why you think so.

I am not sure myself. Maybe the Joe Pesci character off of Goodfellas but that is a cop out. I will have to think it over some more.

Alice Kingsleigh from Alice in Wonderland (2010). Back in the spring of '10 when the movie first came out, I had the same length and color of hair as Alice and I was the same age as her (19). I also have the same face shape as her. In the first part of the movie, when Alice is dancing with Hamish, she becomes distracted by her own daydreams, some of which even make her laugh. This is very similar to how I am. Alice's mother comments that Alice didn't wear a corset or stockings when it was expected of her. I once went through a phase where I didn't ever wear a bra even though I am supposed to. Finally, Wonderland can also be interpreted as Alice's imaginary world, with the Mad Hatter and the White Queen as her imaginary friends. I also have an imaginary world with imaginary friends.

The only one I can think of is Edward Scissorhands. Because he doesn't know how to function socially, is always unintentionally hurting people, but is really good at one thing, and ends up preferring to live by himself away from people. Come to think of it, that's probably a cliche answer here. :lol:

I'd be a combo of the following:

The quirkiness of Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks
The lack of social awareness of Temperance Brennan from early episodes of Bones
The aloofness of Sherlock Holmes (sadly, without the observation/deductive skills...most of the time)
The insecurity and profanity-laced tirades (which I usually have control of in public) of Darryl Zero from The Zero Effect

And a sprinkle of Edward Scissorhands.

Bert from Mary Poppins is a very accurate portrayal of myself, when talking about movies.

I identify strongly with the character Laurie Strode from the horror film Halloween, so much so that I feel like a male version of her.

I am like Clementine on "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind".

She looks and acts like me. It is weird watching the movie, because it is like watching myself on screen. :?

Maybe a mix of Dexter Morgan (from Dexter) and Sheldon Cooper (from The Big Bang Theory). 8)

Tough guy huh? Why don't you shine my shoes for me. :wink:

I think James Leer from the movie WonderBoys is a good one for me.
