Meme, v2.0!

... when the silliness breaks into your head and you want to create memes...

I asked M to compare me to a fictional character, and he said "no idea."

I think it's a lot easier to compare yourself to a fictional character. I tend to think of myself as being like Meg, from A Wrinkle in Time -- too isolated from people in general, but with a good idea of what impact family and society has on me. Or maybe Codi, from Animal Dreams, who observed things pretty carefully, but with a sad tilt: "Terms like that, "Humane Society," are devised with people like me in mind, who don't care to dwell on what happens to the innocent." Codi was always angry with herself for not being like her sister, and simply picking up and going to a poor country to just fix what's wrong with this earth.

Neither of those characters identify as depressed. But I like to imagine myself in a world where I'm not crippled by my depression sometimes, and by what I can't do.

Anyway. Let's play! Which fictional character are you? Which one would you like to be?

Oh, my! That's a big one... let's see... once upon a time, I liked the idea of being Link. I still like the idea of being Link, in some ways. The Hero of Hyrule, all dressed in green, out in the wild, fighting to save the kingdom from Darkness (And the princess of course...)

In terms of a faithful comparison, though, let me think. I suppose I see parts of myself in a lot of good characters, as perhaps I should. And a few bad ones, methinks. Not counting characters in my own books (of whom I identify with several,) a list might include... Hamlet, of course, Othello, Aragorn, a little bit of Lir, some of Molly Grue and some of Amalthea, certainly Schmendrick. Different parts of different people. Picard, not Kirk. Petrarch, but less pathetic. Haggard, sometimes, in moments of anger. Eowyn. Frodo. Gandalf. Milton's Satan, sometimes, almost, but less about blame. Tom Bombadil, in part.

I have too many thoughts. :)

But then you'd be totally unreachable and have started life off as a whiny git :) Of course, he's also the coolest character that Misty's come up with...
