No, I Don't Have a Sister

Today when I was walking on Broadway in the Village, I could see someone inching closer to me with my peripheral vision. I thought he was just not paying attention and/or drunk. It turns out it was a 30-something Asian guy who was just trying to see my face. "Hey!" he said. "You remind me of my friend Michelle!" Oookay? I just laughed. How do you respond to that? "Thanks!"? What if his friend Michelle is ugly? Anyway, I tend to hear that somewhat frequently. I get "Do you have a sister?" a lot. Hint: I don't (thank God). I usually remind people of "a girl from camp." Where is this camp full of Alyssa clones??? I think this is pretty interesting, because I've never really seen someone that looks like me. In high school, my art teacher told me I looked like the lovechild of Sofia Coppola and Julia Roberts. I also used to hear, "You remind me of Daria" a lot. Except she's...a cartoon character. But I'm down with that.
