    My grandfather. He was a gentle giant who didn’t say much, but made his feelings known, and would guide us when we needed it.

    When I was in high school there were some people who said I looked like Molly Ringwald. In my thirties people told me that I looked like Janeane Garofalo. When I was in college people said I looked like Tori Amos, and a few even said I looked like Taylor Dayne.

    Honestly, I'm just Rose... I'm just weird Rose.

        Oh wow! I was always such a big fan of Molly Ringwald. She really changed, and opened up beauty standards at the time. Thanks to Molly Ringwald I went from being embarrassed about my lips as a kid to spending a lot of time at makeup counters trying on lipstick as a teenager, it was a complete 180° for me growing up down South.

      I don't think you are weird.

      Unique: Yes. But then aren't we all unique.

      Oops, that's not what this post was about. I somehow managed to misread the post.

    When I was a child,I wanted to be like the character Elizabeth from The Waltons. I would watch the reruns every day after I got home from school.

      I'd argue it's better than the people saying they didn't have one.

    Okay, now that I have the question straight, I will attempt to provide you with an answer.

    I guess I always looked up to father when I was growing up, and I kinda wanted to be like him. I also wanted to be like Penny Robinson from Lost in Space too. I saw Alice from Alice in Wonderland as a big hero for me!
