i got asked for my autograph today

sidekick · #1 (**permalink**) Mar 10, 05

so i come into my psychology class about fifteen minutes late and grab a seat near the back of the lecture hall. i notice this girl with blonde hair keeps looking over at me and then talking to this guy that is sitting next to her, then he looks back and says something to her.

so, i'm wondering if i have something weird on my face or maybe these two people just really hate people that come in late to class. anyway, i forget about it, but after class is over this girl comes up to me:

GIRL: Excuse me, I know you're not him, but you really really look like the lead singer from this band, uh...I forget their name.
ME: Simple Plan?
GIRL: Yeah! How did you know that?
ME: Because I always get people thinking I'm that guy.
GIRL: Well, when you walked into class I actually thought you were him for a second, but then I realized you just looked like him. Anyway, can I get your autograph?
ME: My autograph? Why?
GIRL: Well, if I can't get the real thing, you're the closest thing to it.

so i signed the back of her psychology notebook. i felt like a star.

apparently i do look quite a bit like him. i have really black (natural, not dyed like his, i'm sure) spikey hair and pretty pale skin. i've been asked several times when i'm downtown if i'm actually that guy. i should just start saying yes soon.

You should try and work it for all it's worth at Warped Tour this year Jake. Get into the VIP areas... "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!"

^haha. that would be hilarious. until the real guy finally got there and they shot me on stage in front of all the crazy drunken punk kids.

WE WANT BLOOD!@#$

Depends, maybe hell think its entertainingly creepy that you look so much like him.

(For the record, I don't really see it.)

Bitchin · #10 (**permalink**) Mar 10, 05

middle mike · #11 (**permalink**) Mar 10, 05

Bitchin · #13 (**permalink**) Mar 10, 05

middle mike · #14 (**permalink**) Mar 11, 05

or, OR he could see the good in all this and hire you as a sort of "body double" when dealing with throngs of screaming fans. kinda like you go out the front door and get swarmed and he stealthily sneaks out the back door to his car that's waiting.

i dunno if simple plan would have a big enough swarm of fans to need me for that. :(

i could probably get that job if i looked like someone else though, like david bowie. or maddona.
