Almost 30

PPB was doing this way cool meme, so I wanted to do it too. Darn good thing she doesn't make a habit of jumping off bridges. So, myheritage.com says I look like the following celebrities:

1.) Annette Bening ("There happens to be a lot about me that you don't know, Mr. Smarty Man. There's plenty of joy in my life.")
2.) Marianne Faithfull (um... who the heck is she?)
3.) Audrey Tautou ("I had two heart attacks, an abortion, did crack... while I was pregnant. Other than that, I'm fine.")
4.) Emma Watson ("Me? Books, and cleverness. There are more important things: friendship and bravery.")
5.) Drew Barrymore ("And that's kicking your ass!")
6.) Renee Zellweger ("It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces.")
7.) Meg Ryan ("It's amazing. You look like a normal person but actually you are the angel of death.")
8.) Vivien Leigh ("I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.")
9.) Catherine Denueve (hmm... need a quote. A little help here?)
10.) Bette Davis ("You mean all this time we could have been friends?")

At least they are all women. I ran some other random pictures through, and some folks had very mixed-gender responses. :-)

In other news, well... my sister is of the opinion that my social life is wan and pathetic (not saying she's wrong) and not at all leading to reproduction. I don't seem to be doing an adequate job producing offspring on my own (despite my alleged resemblance to Marianne Faithfull - go figure!), and therefore she's decided to intervene. Enter Operation Make Her a Match, colloquially known as "must find man for Jess before menopause annihilates daughter's chance of having cousins."

*cue awkward, long-distance e-set-up*

Well, OK. He seems nice, funny and frank, is obviously smart since he made it through med school alive, and is neither desperate nor playing any games. No red flags, really. Not ideal, of course, what with the intervening ocean and the crappy, crappy resident schedule (I watch Scrubs. I know how it is!), but... so far so good. Cautious optimism is the word of the day - not my usual MO, but look where the usual MO has gotten me. Must be time for a change.

And besides, as a friend said to me recently, "I'm almost 30. I feel like I can't sit around and wait for someone to fall in love with me by accident."

And there you have it.
