Inspired by 08 yesterday and resulting thread

Inspired by 08 yesterday (http://i39.tinypic.com/fkbjfs.jpg) and resulting thread (http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/914893.html?thread=699551437#cmt699551437)

1. Describe yourself like you would describe a fictional character. Try to prioritize personality or unique traits first, since "I am a college student in her 20s" could apply to like, half of the people here.

2. Other people respond with existing fictional characters they think fit that description.

3. See how well they fit.

(It somehow feels less weird to use third person past tense.)

She was a terribly unhealthy child with eerily pale skin. She thought herself very clever, and perhaps was, but was repeatedly caught off guard when her stubbornness and tunnel vision got her into messes. Her hobbies included making lists and narrating her life in her head, then getting upset when the people around her did not follow a narrative structure.

Reminds me a little of Harriet the Spy. Just a little.

Makes me think of Anastasia Krupnik.

I read the thread above about ideal homes and it made me think about how I'd read a book when I was little with a girl who had a tower bedroom and how I'd thought that was the coolest thing ever but I couldn't for the life of me remember which book (thought it might have been one of Judy Blume's) then I come down here and see you mention Anastasia Krupnik and that's her isn't it?! I haven't thought about this is twenty years! Did the room have wallpaper with carriages or wagon wheels or something like that?

Yes! A tower bedroom and wallpaper with Victorian-era pictures of people on bicycles. I think those might have been two separate houses, though? IIRC the family moves partway through the series, and while Anastasia loves the thought of living in a tower she hates to leave behind the wallpaper people, whom she has given names and backstories.

Of course, yes, that's it. Thank you, anon!

(I miiight have started rambling and accidentally turned this into an excuse to vent my pathetic sob story...)

I'm really messed up in the head. I try to be a good person and get along, and I want so much to be accepted, but my fucked-up brain just...fucks it up. I have plenty to offer, maybe even more than average, but it's all trapped inside because I find myself unable to properly show it. Most people just think of me as childish, overemotional, and irrational. I've had a lot of issues with unsympathetic authority figures trying to somehow brute-force me into being what they want me to be. Medication helps somewhat, but...I can't imagine myself with much of a future. I don't think I'll ever be functional enough to be independent, to live like a regular person.

Does every single person who deals with you and your issues think they're going to be that one person who tough-loves you into healing and enlightenment? because ughh I know that feel

(sorry I don't have a character right now who that really makes me think of)

She thought she knew everything. Over time she realized she didn't, but still believed she did on occasion. When she angered her eyes flashed, but only those easily intimidated took her seriously. Most agreed she was clever and caring, and many said she was quite pretty, in her own way.

She had dark brown hair and eyes, was a bit short but not tiny. Her smile lit a room, but her scowl brought a stormcloud. Her folly was a complete inability to accept injustice, or at least what she perceived to be injustice, which wasn't always universally agreed upon. She wore her emotions on her sleeve, much to everyone's chagrin, including her own, and above all she longed to love and be loved.

She cared a great deal about those dear to her. If asked, she'd say her best traits were loyalty, honesty, integrity, and love. Her flaws seemed glaring to her, but perhaps that was normal? She angered easily, so easily, and hated to be alone. She felt betrayal even when there was none, and didn't always know how to respond to an awkward conversation. Her greatest fear was being lonely.
