There is inevitably the uncomfortable period in which my hair reaches a certain length and all of sudden, I look very familiar to a lot of people. Why this phenomenon happens, I do not know, maybe I just have a familiar face? Whatever the cause, after a while it gets a bit annoying when people start to say, “you look exactly like my friend, but you can’t be, because she lives in Michigan.” So, if one more person tells me I look like someone else, these are the responses they are going to get.

-Oh, you probably just recognize me from America’s Most Wanted. That sketch artist finally got my nose right, don’t you think?

-I look like your friend? Well that’s because I am! Remember you owe me $20?

-I look familiar? Hmmm…probably because I have been stalking you for a month. I was waiting to see how long before you realized.

-Well, I am actually her twin sister, but I have been institutionalized for a few years. She doesn’t like talking about me for some reason. I think it has to do with that paintball incident.

-Sssshhhh! I am actually undercover as a salesperson at this bookstore. We are infiltrating a ring of dirty book buyers who have been marketing 50 Shades of Grey as classic literature.
