Are you thinking you've seen Michael while shopping? Or do you think you have something that makes you look like Michael? ;D There's this guy across the street who sometimes reminds me of Michael Emerson (from the back), or perhaps Ben, because of the polo shirts he wears, khaki pants, balding hair and I think he may wear glasses, too; It's exciting to see him come home from work and walk to his door! Michael's printed handwriting (on letters) reminds me of my Mom's; She does that, too, whenever she writes to someone. Seeing the picture of Michael on Christmas morning 2005, wearing a t-shirt and shorts reminded me of my Dad because that's what he wears for pajamas, too. The woman jumped out of her chair, bee-lined right to my table, and grabbed my face. I was so startled by what she had to say that I almost choked on my very breath. She said, "oh goodness, you're Michael Emerson! My husband and I just love you!" ;D That's funny! On my 22nd birthday, a librarian gave me a reading club pamphlet and after I stood for a few seconds, reading it she said, "You're 14, right?" (it was for teens)  This happens to me everywhere I go; I feel bittersweet about it. It's sometimes funny and flattering to me, but the bad part is that no one takes me seriously...I think acting and modeling must be the only jobs where it's a plus to look young, otherwise, it's horrible! |

It's sometimes funny and flattering to me, but the bad part is that no one takes me seriously...I think acting and modeling must be the only jobs where it's a plus to look young, otherwise, it's horrible! When I was 17, I attended a survivalist-type of sleep-away summer camp. My parents didn't know what type of place they had sent me. All they knew was that I wanted to go there. My friend, who died last week, went there and so did my other friend. So I wanted to go. We were the Three Musketeers. Well, anyway, making a long story short, one of the things they did with us is drive around the campsite town. We were all on a bus and had our eyes covered up. We could not see where we were going and after a few hours of being driven around, we had now clue where North, South, East, or West was. Slowly, we were let off the bus in group of 5's: an 18- or 17-year-old leader, a 15-year old, and two 13-year olds. In my group, I was the 17-year-old leader. Our job was to get back to our camp by begging, stealing, or whatever means we could find. We had 2 days ration to eat and 3 days to make it. My 15-year, because he was a strong male was carrying our supplies. My two 13-year olds were horrible baggages. The area where I camp was located was desolate farm country, with a few places where older and richer people had campgrounds that they went to for the summer. We were hoping to find the richer people’s campsite. That would mean lots of good food and perhaps transportation back. I was not that lucky. My group found a farm and begged the proprietor to let us sleep there. The 15-year old quickly realized that even though I was the leader, it was best that I pretended to be younger. I looked 14 anyway. I befriended the elderly lady of the farm and told her how unhappy I was that I was older, but looked younger. She looked at me and said, "You'll appreciate it one day." When I was 20, the movie "I am curious Yellow," a porno flick par excellance was playing. I had numerous younger friends who wanted to see it. You had to be 18 or older. I was to cover for them. As if, if they were carded, they would let me vouch for them. Yeah. They ranged from 15-17 years of age. Guess what? I was carded, they were not. I was devastated. Today, I am 58, but look to be in my late 30's or early 40's. I finally, understand that older lady when she said, "You'll appreciate it one day." I sure do. LOL. |

I've never been mistaken for a celebrity before, but I absolutely love it when people tell me I have an English accent (while in reality, my accent is really an odd, unidentifiable hybrid). Anglophile that I am, I'm thrilled to no end. Thus far, eight people have commented on my 'English' accent - and I'm sad enough to keep a tally. ;D

^^; Thank you... That's very nice of you. Give the boy some blue eyes and he looks like Sterling Beaumon Well I actually do have blue eyes, however, they look awfully dark in the picture. lol....I remember one time, I grew out a mustache just to see how stupid I would look, and when I went to the movie theatre, the woman at the ticket booth thought I was a ten year old with a fake mustache on. It pretty much goes either way for me. Sometimes I look really young, and when I don't get any sleep I look much older. ^^; |

That's brave of you to post your picture! Maybe it'll convince the other guys to do the same!  Today, I am 58, but look to be in my late 30's or early 40's. I finally, understand that older lady when she said, "You'll appreciate it one day." I sure do. LOL. I'm sure I will; I found it funny as a kid, but I now find it frustrating being asked how old I am all the time and at the thought of having to show I.D when I'm around 55, just to get senior citizen discounts. |

How does she deal with it? She is flattered. You have to look at the bright side. People, especially women, spend tons of money trying to look young. Heck if your genes are giving it to you for free, enjoy it. |

It's just horrible at jobs because some people don't ask how old I am and automatically assume I'm a teenager and treat me like one and I've been a perfectionist all my life and always have tried to act polite and grown up; I've tried wearing a bit of lipstick, without, wearing nicer clothes and nothing seems to work.

Don't worry, in a few years, you'll enjoy it. It took me a while. |

OMG, I just started a new course at the university (Introduction to Ethic Philosophy), and the teacher looks very much like Michael! It's going to be my new favourite course. What a pity I can't take a photo of him to share, but it would look kinda weird to go to my teacher, say "smile!" and photograph him....
