Which 'Friend' are you? I once saw a survey about which character you are most sympathetic with from the TV show 'Friends.' Are you Chandler, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel or Ross? Well, if you want my answer, I'm neither of them! I'd drop dead if you ever saw me making faces like those Chandler do, I don't try to look stupid like Joey just to get people to laugh, and I'm not as clueless and pathetic as Ross. The girls also didn't do well on my plausibility test. If I were as organized as Monica, I'd be filthy rich by now. If I were as appealing and confident as Rachel, I'd currently be in a happy relationship. If I were as carefree as Phoebe, I'd be in Belize, or Ibiza, or somewhere I wouldn't even care to know the name of. I believe I'm very extraordinary. And I believe I'm watching too much TV. Anyway, since I'm in the topic of finding myself in fictitious characters, I'll tell you who I'm like. I'm Deputy Dewey in the Scream trilogy. I'm Michael (the fat guy) on the Blair Witch Project. I'm Kaplan (the computer whiz) on Resident Evil. I'm Biscuit on Ally McBeal. I'm Samwise Gungee on the Lord of the Rings. These are only a few of the characters that I'm sympathetic with. Their greatest common denominator... they're all clumsy scardy-cats (and the women they star with seems to always outlive them.) To put it in another perspective, they are the only plausible characters (depending of course on their position on the movie.) That is how I feel I'd react if I were in their place and I probably, like them, won't hide it even if others see it weird. Plus, they do not hog the spotlight. Sure they have their little share in the limelight but that's it. I need attention too but I try not to overdo it - but that is beyond the point. What I'm saying is that in every movie or TV show, I always sympathize with the unique and clumsy characters because that's what I really am.
