I know we are all special. I know there can never be another you. But I gotta tell you, if there could be another you, I am totally the girl to figure out who it is. Of the many disorders I have revealed in this space of mine, I’m not sure I’ve shared with you my obsession with discovering your look-a-like.
I met Ellen Page at the conference last weekend. You know, from Juno?
No, of course not really. But I did meet Sam from The Listeners Post. She is Ellen Page’s twin in real life I think. Hil. Arious. She looked really familiar so we played the name game until we figured out the loose connection we have. (She went to college sort of in my town. Sort of.) Then later I realized it was probably the whole you-look-just-like-Ellen-Page thing that caused me to think I knew her.
Sam is so much fun and I was disappointed that I didn’t get a photo of her at SheSpeaks. Actually, I’m kind of lying. I did get a photo of her.
I call this one Stalker With A Great Zoom Lens. I’m definitely climbing up the bff ladder in her book for posting this, I’m sure.
Sam is another one of the surprise gifts I received this weekend. She kept us laughing at the conference which is always a plus for me. More than that, she allowed herself to be moved by God’s hand and she didn’t let fear keep her from being vulnerable at His feet. I like that.
Let’s hear it for Sam! And is there anyone else out there who never sees a unique face because everyone you meet looks like someone you already know?
Umm, yeah. That’s me and it gets really embarrassing when at the exact moment you realize you don’t really know the person they only look like someone else, say Newt Gingrich or Dwight from the office, they too realize that you think they look like Newt or Dwight.
Haha! I think the same things too. And just yesterday our home inspector insisted that he knew me…turns out, he thought I was the twin of Alyson Hannigan.
Oh I only wish.
I second that shout out to Sam! If you are reading this, I so appreciated your vulnerability and openness. As well as your sense of humor – you crack me up!
Hip Hip Hurray for Sam! She of the purple yoga pants.

Oh my, Emily – what are you, a private investigator in your spare time? When did you snap that little gem of a picture?
I’m so glad that you guys let me crash your little bloggy friend party – now you’re totally my BBFs (Best Bloggy Friends!)!
But now that I have that morphing software, you’d better all watch out…I’m going to be on the look out for your twins… muwahhaha…
Thanks for the shout outs!
Sam @ theListenerspost.
I usually say something to whomever I’m with (NOT to the person I’m talking about, usually) like “Oh, cool they look like so-and-so and so-and-so combined.” So, instead of thinking they looked like, say, Sandra Bullock OR Gwyneth Paltrow, I’d say Sandra Bullock AND Gwyneth Paltrow. I believe I am slightly demented.
wait wait…I still want in! Yay for Sam!
I just got here late that’s all!
Love you girls!! GO BBF’S!
Me! Me!! I think it’s because we’ve lived in so many places over the years, when I see someone who look like someone, I have to literally stop and think where I know them from!
OMG, are you MY twin?!?! My husband totally makes fun of me when I tell people, “you know who you look like??” Yea, they are totally expecting to hear someone cool and beautiful and then their cringe makes me realize it could of been a insult! LOL I am new to your blog and I like you already! Tell that sister of yours to get the computer fixed already! I’m missing her decor suggestions! LOL Then again, if it wasn’t for the broken machine I wouldn’t of “met” you!
Ohhh I met her too but I have no idea who you’re talking about that she looks like. LOL!
