What fictional character do you identify with the most?

[tjdee]

(or secretly want to be?)

I identify a lot with Sarah Jessica Parker in real life (plus, when I was a little kid I looked just like her in Square Pegs), so Carrie Bradshaw is one for me.

Others would be Mary Tyler Moore on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (except not so skittish), and Sidney's roommate/friend they so awfully killed off on "Alias" (we both are black chicks who dug Duran Duran), and Janeane Garafalo in whatever she does.

I always wished I was more Murphy Brown though!

I'm not the only one who has fictional alter-egos, am I??

[flamingyouth]

1. Jane from Daria

No, you're not the only one with fictional alter-egos. :D

[tjdee]

3. Whew, LOL!

I'm very into films and such, and sometimes I think I'm slightly weird about it...good to know I'm not!

Ooh, and my sister always said I remind her of Daria. I miss that show.

[Longgrain]

2. Either Don Quixote or Doctor Zhivago

Depending on what kind of mood I'm in.

[tjdee]

24. You know, and I'm not saying this to flatter you...

;) but I can see you as Don Quixote...

[Longgrain]

43. I shall impersonate a man...

Come, enter into my imagination and see him!
His name... Alonso Quijana... a country squire,
no longer young... bony, hollow-faced... eyes
that burn with the fire of inner vision. Being
retired, he has much time for books. He studies
them from morn to night and often through the
night as well. And all he reads oppresses him...
fills him with indignation at man's murderous
ways toward man. And he conceives the strangest
project ever imagined... to become a knight-errant
and sally forth into the world to right all
wrongs. No longer shall he be plain Alonso Quijana...
but a dauntless knight known as -
Don Quixote de La Mancha!

Hear me now
Oh thou bleak and unbearable world,
Thou art base and debauched as can be;
And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!
I am I, Don Quixote,
The Lord of La Mancha, þ
My destiny calls and I go,
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward,
Oh whithersoever they blow.

Whithersoever they blow,
Onward to glory I go!

[HEyHEY]

4. Robocop

[tjdee]

26. The Robo part, or the cop part?

My mom loved that film...before she decided she didn't like movies with violence in them. :shrug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

[RevolutionaryActs]

28. tjdee's boytoy.

He was in The Pianist, won the Academy Award for best actor.

[da_chimperor]

34. Uhhhh . . . when was this?

Remember i'm partially europeanized after being out of the states for so long. Can you say: fries with mayo? :9

[tjdee]

37. In 2002--he beat out Nicolas Cage, Jack Nicholson, Mike Caine, and

Daniel Day Lewis (for Gangs of New YOrk).

He deserved it too--I mean, and I love him and everything, but he honestly deserved it.

[da_chimperor]

46. Hmmm . . . gangs of new york was an awesome movie.

I've never seen the Pianist though. :shrug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

38. In 2002.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253474/

[da_chimperor]

45. OK, so it's almost ancient history by now.

Yup, i'm kinda dumb when it comes to movies. :dunce:

[RevolutionaryActs]

47. It's a great movie, you should try and rent if you can.

:)

[da_chimperor]

48. We'll see about that. My last exam is tomorrow (t-minus 6 hours)

and so I'll have about a week for beer, movies, and decriminalized smokable substances. :smoke:

[solinvictus]

21. Hah!!!

I thought he was KD Lang!!!

[RevolutionaryActs]

29. Oh my....

:o

[tjdee]

31. Except he's way hotter and taller!

They could be like, siblings or something. I guess.
:silly:

[YankeyMCC]

6. Samwise Gamgee

without a Frodo.

As a kid I most wanted to be the 6 million dollar man. Nearly joined the OSI even when I joined the Air Force. ;)

[tjdee]

11. All helpful and stuff?

Awwwwww.....Samwise is a good man.

[gollygee]

7. When I was a newspaper reporter my co-workers called me Mary Bradshaw

from Mary Tyler Moore. They'd sing that song all the time and they bought me a scarf and beret. :D

I'd say still her, even though I've gotten married. Personality wise, that's where I am.

[tjdee]

14. You're gonna make it after allllll.....

That's cute, that they bought you a beret and a scarf and everything! She does rock, doesn't she?

[gollygee]

22. She does indeed. And is it odd that Mary and Carrie's names rhyme and

they both have the last name Bradshaw?

:tinfoilhat:

[Dr Fate]

8. Alan Moore's Tom Strong.

Nostalgic yet modern.

[Bok_Tukalo]

9. Graham from Sex Lies and Videotape

<ope>

[tjdee]

12. Is that the Spader character?

Hm.....rather, HMMMMMMM, LOL.

[Bok_Tukalo]

15. Yes. That's the guy.

"Formerly a compulsive liar, now filled with self-disgust, Graham has cut himself off from real life"

[two gun sid]

13. Travis McGee

[sakabatou]

16. Sanosuke from Rurouni Kenshin

and Bender from Futurama.

[tjdee]

23. Sanosuke I don't know, but Bender, aha.

:thumbsup:

[sakabatou]

32. Especially when I'm pissed, I'm bender.

[BlueIris]

17. My nickname at our city's Kerry-campaign support office was

Donna Moss. I'm still a bit embarrassed about that.

[Catchawave]

18. Princess Leia

..the girl's got snark and Hans Solo :)

[tjdee]

25. Plus she gets to wear a metal outfit.

I know that's the part you really like. :evilgrin:

[eyesroll]

20. Lindsay Wier from "Freaks and Geeks."

I was Lindsay in high school -- down to the math competitions and the stoner friends -- except I graduated in 1993 instead of 1983.

[saltpoint]

27. Martin Dysart --

-- from Peter Shaffer's EQUUS.

[oneighty]

30. Edmund Dantes

180

[tjdee]

33. Before or after prison?

But I guess he's fundamentally the same throughout...oh great, now everytime I read your threads I'll think of Jim Caviezel....

[oneighty]

35. I read that book by

kerosene lamp more than once. It had everything. I would want to be all of Edmund Dantes. In the end he is sailing away smoking some hash. Course I never did that.

180

[oneighty]

40. Oh!

He played Dantes. I think I saw that movie on TV.

180

[tjdee]

42. It reminded me what a good story it was...

Dumas was a great talent. Do you like his other characters too, or is it just Edmund you identify with? I think many of his protagonists have many of the same qualities--but from thinking about it just now, Dantes is the most interesting I think.

[oneighty]

50. The Three Musketeers

Ten Years Later, Twenty Years Later and I think Thirty Years Later. Four books in the series?

More than once I read them.

The 1934 Count movie in black and white starring Robert Donat is one I remember from long ago.

I had to google to find it.

Little boys should not be allowed to read such stories. Make romantics of them. Sigh,

Then it was on to Jules Verne. Emile Zola (Nana). So many books.

180

[oneighty]

51. d'Artagnan

Had to google the spelling. But he is not as good as Edmund.

180

[WindRavenX]

36. Ellie Arroway from Sagan's "Contact"

Smart,confident,scientific and poetic- but very isolated.

[SarahB]

39. I am a cross between June Cleaver and Samantha Jones.

Weird huh?

[derbstyron]

41. Don Quixote

I seem to have spent my life tilting at windmills.

[Left Is Write]

44. I'm somewhere in between Donna Stone and Laura Petrie.

Maybe a little Mary Richards thrown in.

[stanwyck]

49. Eliane from Seinfeld or Miranda

from Sex in the City. I've been told I'm a smartass but I like to think of myself as witty.

[derbstyron]

53. I always had such a crush on Elaine

:loveya:

[Goathead]

52. Hawkeye from The Last of the Mohicans

But my Mom once told me that she thought I was just like Tristan Ludlow, Brad Pitt's character from Legends of the Fall.

[Ladyhawk]

54. Frodo Baggins...

...the last time I told someone why, he laughed at me. :mad:

[RevolutionaryActs]

56. Tell me, I won't laugh

:D

[mark414]

55. holden caufield

cliche, but goddammit all, fuck you

[RevolutionaryActs]

57. Christian from Moulin Rouge.

Young, idealistic, and totally in love with the idea of love.

Of course, I'm a girl and he's a boy. :P

Oh and through in Sara Rue on the show Less Then Perfect. And there you go, me.
