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?

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
