Identification Please...

I have my favourite characters, as posted previously. Then I have characters who have situations or traits or something that I directly relate to. It's time to get a little more personal...

Kay Effiel
is a slightly eccentric, anti-social, published author who likes smoking, privacy and the odd character death.

I might just skip on the chain smoking, but the eccentric published author bit is exactly where I want to be a little further on in the future.

Lemuel Gulliver
is an exhausted surviver, struggling to grip with rules and reality of social standings whilst living in his own colourful adventure.
Okay, I haven't been locked up nor have I really been to the places in my head, but we're both looking for a home we're not even sure exists or finding a part in reality we don't wish to believe in.

James Barrie
is immersed in a land of make believe, entertaining children and audience alike yet slowly disconnecting from the adults in his life.
I want to be a successful playwriter just like him.

Joel Barish
"Why do I fall in love with every woman I see who shows me the least bit of attention?"
Give me a little smile and a nice word and you have a friend for life. Well, I think very highly of you anyway...

John Preston
lives in a world of hypocrisy, of control. He lives his life hiding his emotion, his feelings, his needs.
I lived like that for a long time and even now have difficultly saying how I truly feel.



Sayuri
grew deeply attached to an older man who gave her life hope and support yet was beyond her reach.
I fell for an older guy too, who I thought at one stage I would never see again. Like Sayuri, my story has a happy ending.

Any characters you particularly relate to?

And the males.....

(From Cast Away. He doesn't say much but we felt his loss like anything when he was lost at sea. Sometimes it's just the simple things...)

(From the fantastic series and film, Wallace and Gromit. He's smart, sensible and saves his silly owners butt more then most. Gotta be the best dog ever.)

(From the Sci-fi series, Stargate SG-1. How can you resist our favourite space monkey? He's hot, incredibly smart and always stands up for the little guy... or alien....)

(From the trilogy, Back to the Future. He's cute, fiery and just an all round decent guy. One that you can take home to mum (...especially mine since she loves Michael J Fox!).)

(From Burton's classic, Edward Scissorhands. He's innocent, kind and most of all, quirky. Awww!)

(From the film, Crocodile Dundee. I swear, us Aussies are all this bush savvy. Okay, maybe not but hopefully we're down to earth, charming and witty like he is!)

(From Galaxy Quest. He's under appreciated, stressed out and has a fantastic dry sense of humour about it all. Love him!)

(From the world's best TV show (Yes the worlds best) The Simpsons. Oh come on, do I really need to explain myself here why this man is the funniest, lovable, relatable character ever?)


(From Men in Black. The brightest rookie with attitude to beat. Thank God he's here to protect the planet.)

(Hee hee hee...I bent my wookie....)


(From the UK series, Coupling. Just the stuff that comes out of his mouth will have you in bewildered amazement. He is funny, supportive and fabulously tragic.)


(From the underrated film, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. He's protective, well meaning and hopelessly flawed. Damn, he cracks me up every time I watch it.)


(From the film adaptation, Les Miserables. He's obsessive, determined and cold. He'll stop at nothing to see that justice is served....)


(From the best of the trilogy, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. Nothing strikes fear, like cloaks on horse back. Gives me the shivers now. Favourite scary dudes.)


(Fortunately we have this guy to save us! Yay! He's loyal, gentle, strong and brave. And really good looking with the whole mysertious thing happening there....swooon!)


(From Napoleon Dynamite. Despite his geekiness, lack of a serious job and eh, personality this guy pulls a decent chick and turns out to be a cute little guy anyway. Gotta give him points for that....!)

(From the classic, Psycho. So nice and awkward at first. Talk about learning not to judge a book by it's cover. Our sweet, innocent little murderer....eek eek eek!)


(From the movie, Remains of the Day. He's loyal, dedicated and incredibly polite. His decorum provided for the best story of unrequited love... *sigh*)


(From the tv show, Rugrats. He's a natural leader displaying kindness and the innocent charm only a babe could do. Have an incredible imagination too.)


(From the sadly canceled classic, Firefly. He's devoted, protective and gentile. Plus he's a handsome doctor. What more do you want?)


(From the best movie of all times, The Shawshank Redemption. I doubt the prisons are full of good, peaceful convicts like him but we always have hope.)


(From the Aussie classic, Shine. He's an inspiration. The reason I now love classical music.)


(Is there seriously a serial killer as intriguing or as scary as this guy?)


(Couldn't really not include a character from Star Wars, now couldn't I. Funny, tough and an awesome pilot. Also he's not related to the princess so that's a plus right there!)


(From Zoolander. Talks absolute crap in the funniest way. Plus he can pull his jocks right out of his pants with one move. Classic.)


(From the self titled movie. Proves the original is often the best. The guy has a chocolate factory for crying out loud. It says it all.)

(From the mini series, The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant. She may have been the focus but he was the real reason for watching. His hopelessly one sided love and overall good intentions as a soldier turned into an obsessive hunt for revenge. Amazing to watch. )

And that's the men! Love to hear who you like.

Big and Small Screen People That I Adore (Females)

(From the self titled movie. I adore her honesty, sense of humour and fun loving ways. I think there's a little of her in all us girls)

(From the hit television series, House MD. She's sassy, smart and wars daily with everyone's favourite doctor. One of the best woman in television.)

(From the movie, Garden State. She's cute, down to earth and quirky. I love quirky people. Absolutely love 'em.)

(From the classic film, It's A Wonderful Life. She's determined, gentle and kind. If she was in my reality, she'd be my best mate for sure.)

(From Forrest Gump. She's lost, desperate but eventually she finds her way home. I identify with her so much when I'm feeling hurt or blue.)

(From the movie, A League of Their Own. She's confident, strong and talented. She's got this real inner determination that I just love.)

(From the comedy film, Legally Blonde. She's intelligent, knowledgable and breaks stereotype. Plus she's just so funny to watch. I'd have her as my lawyer any day.)

(From the underrated TV show, Extras. She's spacey, silly and so lovable. I loved every scene with her in it just to see what she'd say. Great great character.)


(From the Pixar classic, Monsters Inc. The cutest little animated character. Awwww!)


(From my fav, Silence of the Lambs. Oh wow, where do I begin with how gutsy and smart this woman is? If you haven't watched the film, WATCH THE FILM (and no, I wasn't shouting, the caps locks key got eh, stuck or something.)

(From the 50's classic, Sunset Blvd. She's vain, conceited and obsessed with herself until the point of insanity. Yet we can not turn away....)


(From the biopic, Walk the Line. Great voice with a fiery spirit. If I was ever famous, I'd want to be like her.)

Next up... the men's turn
