Three of Me

Earlier this week, there was a hashtag going around like wildfire - #ThreeFictionalCharacters.  The goal was to choose 3 fictional characters that are most like you.  It's taken me a while but I think I finally figured it out.  I LOVED this idea when I first heard about it, but it's taken me the entire week to really nail down who I think I'm most like.  Now that I have those 3 characters, I'm fairly shocked I didn't think of them immediately.

1. Miranda, the character played by Miranda Hart in the BBC show Miranda: She's a single girl in her 30s.  She's awkward, sarcastic, unable to tell the cute boy she likes that she likes him and did I mention she's socially awkward?  In pretty much every episode there's at least one scene - usually more than one - that reminds me of myself.  Also, the cutie she's in love with is Tom Ellis whom I also think is adorable so we have the same taste in cute boys as well.  She's basically a 6'1" British me.
              

2. Dory from Finding Nemo - I have to admit I'm a bit forgetful, not to the extent Dory is, but I've been known to forget random things on a daily basis.  But Dory is also eternally optimistic.  She's a positive thinker and just likes to be around the people that love her. She's happy and enjoys life. She's helpful and is up for an adventure just to help Marlin.  She has all sorts of good qualities that I strive for, and sometimes succeed at. I also happen to think that Dory's advice to Just Keep Swimming is the best advice for anyone going through hard times.  
              

3. Donna Noble from Doctor Who - And I promise I'm not just saying Donna because she's my absolute favorite companion.  Donna is always ready for adventure.  She's lived a fairly boring life being a temp in Chiswick, and when given the chance for adventure and travel with the Doctor she's more than ready.  She's the perfect friend for the Doctor. She wants to see everything's she's missed over the years, and the Doctor is ready to show it to her. She's also completely sarcastic which is pretty much how I live my entire life.  And aside from choosing not to hug the Doctor - come on man!  who wouldn't hug David Tennant if given the chance?! - she's yet another me.
