Apparently I Look Like Kristen Wiig

When strangers think you look like a celebrity.

Apparently I Look Like Kristen Wiig
Katie Ketter and http://iwatchstuff.com/2012/03/29/kristen-wiig-bridesmaids.jpg

It started about three years ago. I was working my retail job at the mall and a stranger tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Has anyone ever told you that you look JUST like Kristen Wiig?"

No. Actually no one ever had.

But then it became more frequent. Once every month turned into once every two weeks, which then turned into almost every day. The people I worked with began to laugh, knowing what was coming when they would hear "Has anyone ever told you..."

I imagine most people dream about looking like a celebrity. Hell, there's thousands of online tutorials on how to do your makeup to look exactly like a Kardashian or Beyoncé. But Kristen Wiig?

Do not get me wrong, she is probably one of the funniest and most talented woman to come out of SNL within the past 15 years and she is beautiful.

But when people say her name and say that I look like her, I imagine that they mean I look like one of her characters.

Like this:

Or do I remind them of this?

Realistically I know strangers don't see me like that, but sometimes I see photos of her like this-

"Ya, I make that face. My hair looks like that. Maybe they are kind of right."

It's become the running joke between my husband and I: "I got Kristen Wiig'd again today!" But it's still a little strange, because I think I look like me, not a celebrity.

But a thousand Kristen Wiig fans can't be wrong, can they?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
