The Blogging Lounge: Who Am I?

The new Blogging Lounge has asked us to answer the question "Who am I?". I don't want to bore followers, so here's a short tidbit.


In my youth, I looked like this: 



But now, I look like this:




Not really.

Let's try again. When super young, everyone told me I looked exactly like Shirley Temple. I had the curly bob and peppy spirit, too. I hated hearing that I resembled anyone but me; and she was actually cute, so imagine how I feel now.


As the years went on, a friend swore I was a dead ringer for Flashdance star Jennifer Beels. I liked that comparison. Of course my brother-in-law had to pop my bubble by telling me she's much prettier than me. Since he started dating my sister when I was only thirteen, he's always been more like an annoying, big brother. You should be lucky enough to have one.


Now, I constantly hear how I look like Bette Midler. No offense to this talented actress, but I don't think she's pretty, and would like to go back to looking like Jennifer, thank you very much; especially when a little girl jumps up and down in a restaurant while yelling and pointing, "You're the witch! You're the witch!"

I said, "I'll get you my pretty and your little dog, too!" Then cackled. 

That shut her up.
Of course, who I look like is pointless, because who I am has nothing to do with my looks. Plus, if you've followed my blog for any length of time and still don't know me, I guess you never will. I'm not one to stain the internet with stories about my abusive childhood, miserable marriage, or rat infested home. I can't do that because actually, it all was and is pretty good. That's why my life story would put you to sleep. So, instead of writing about my dull life, I invent book characters and abuse them. :)
