in which there are lookalikes
A few days ago I was in Norwich, pausing outside a shop, and a guy in a long black coat brushed by me on his way down the street. I took a few seconds to ogle his coat, and as I did I realized that while I didn’t actually get a good look at his face, the coat and the peroxide-blond hair, as well as the slightly arrogant-looking stride, definitely made…Spike. I pretty much just stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and laughed. (Also, that Superman pose makes that the funniest photo I’ve seen all day.)
A day or two ago I passed this tall, skinny guy on campus, in a shirt and tie and all, and I kept looking at him, certain he reminded me of someone (I hope I didn’t wig him out), and finally I got it: he looked like Christopher Eccleston, not as Nine (too much hair, and not as Claude Raines for the same reason, and also not as the Rider which by the way is the only reason I want to see The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising), but as one of the roles where he plays–well, some emo skinny dude in a shirt and tie. And I know he does because I’ve seen pictures, I just haven’t seen whatever that role is so I have no idea who it is offhand.
Oh, and then Monday I had this Bible study at somebody’s rather weird house shared with several other people and at one point two of said other people came barrelling through our little area from the outside door, one of whom was wearing, like, a tiger-print man’s thong or something and a pink satiny bathrobe? And the other dude was in his shorts too? Look, I don’t even know, apparently crashing a Bible study and trying to shock Christians is fun. Anyway Mr. Tiger Thong looked an awful lot like creepy Eric from True Blood except…scruffier. And with longer hair. And less clothes. So…yeah.
There was one other more recently too but I can’t remember. >_<
