Nikola Tesla has already been mentioned but the more I read about him, the more I relate to him. He had sensory integration problems and was very sensitive to touch, (just like me) had several obsessive routines, (just like me) and just like me would rather spend time dedicated to his obsessive interest of electricity (which, luckily for us, shaped the modern world) then get caught up in relationships (he was never married)

I greatly respect Roger Bannister, the first person to break the four minute mile. Although I cannot ever hope to aspire to his accomplishments in either athletics or in a medical career, as he did, I admire him because he overcame a difficult childhood in which he was made fun of for being smart and different, and excelled in all areas of his life.

A firend of mine once told me I was like Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter.

Sometimes I associate with Bones and Zack from the television show BONES because I can be brutily honest, I have no clue about pop culture, I use logic to solve almost all my problems and I take things way too literally.

I also sometimes identify with Gilbert Grissom from CSI because I don't get people, I'm socially akward, I know a bunch of random facts and I don't let people get too close. I also like animals better then people (but Grissom likes bugs, so I dunno if that counts).

I wish I were as smart as them, but I think these charicters from TV are very dear to me because I sometimes see myself in them. I know it's weird. :?

No one.

No one thinks about Love enough to care, except for me I guess.

Let me know if there is one who's perfectly so. Both deep feelings AND they never run away from each other... I must be the only human being in existence who thinks everyone is a human being except for those that aren't.

I think I would probably strangely enough match as Eddy Griffin, no idea why, probably his character type and on a bad day, I would definitely be a Ozzy Osbourne. :lol:

Thanks for bring that up. :oops: :lol:

For the first time in my life, I identify, with a real person, and not a TV or movie character. I identify with - drum roll - Mick Avory, the original Kinks drummer, and an innocent man of morals he is, too. :D

Ugh....I hate to say who I identify with because everyone might start thinking i'm evil, sociopathic or something.


Simply put...I only identify with certain aspects of these "evil" characters, while their deeds (whether they are fictional characters or not) are repulsive to me. In fact, it might only be one or two things the following characters said which I identified with. Beyond that....I mostly identified with their sense of betrayal, digust of the world/humanity as it is, solitude, rebellion against all authority (even divine authority), anger, bitterness, austerity, cold reptilian logic, lust for knowledge, the value they placed on the intellect, humorlessness, drive for self-actualization/self-deification, sadness and melancholy, dark aesthetic sensibilities, dignity, refusal to comprimise, perfectionism, sense of justice, anti-theism, anti-capitalism, lack of sentimentality, sexlessness/asexuality, their hatred of all petty, mundane, vulgar and animalistic human affairs, their hatred of crude materialism, consumerism and hedonism, contempt for bourgeois society, etc.....

Sooooo....in no particular order of importance:



-Saurman, the "evil" wizard from Tolkien's Lord of The Rings.
-Gollum/Smeagol, from the Lord of the Rings.
-Klingsor, the black magician from Wolfram von Eschenbach's "Parsival".
-Several characters played by the actor Vincent Price. Especially his portrayal of Prince Prospero in "The Masque of the Red Death".
-Several characters played by the actor Christopher Lee.
-Satan/Lucifer conceived romantically as the eternally cursed and ultimate outcast, rebel, misanthrope, light-bearer, desolate one, the unjustly oppressed and persecuted angel, etc.....
-Faust
- The Tony Montana character in the movie "Scarface".
-The "Wandering Jew" character from Par Lagerkvist's "The Sybil".
-Bartleby, from Melville's "Bartleby the Scrivener".
-Vassago, from Dean Koontz's "Hideaway"
-Christopher Hitchens
-Noam Chomsky
-Jacques Cousteau
-Voltaire
-Einstein
-Rousseau
-Sartre
-Mikail Bakunin
-Gandalf
-Aragorn
-Camus
-Nietzsche
-Aleister Crowley
-Sir Richard Burton
-Abraham Maslow
-The Detective William Kinderman character from the "Exorcist III"
-Holden Caufield character from JD Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye"
-Treebeard from the LOTR
-Gimli from LOTR
-Tom Bombadil from LOTR
-King Theoden from LOTR
-Denethor, Steward of Gondor from the LOTR
-Black metal musician Varg Vikernes (ONLY for his music....his ideology is repugnant to me and diametrically opposed to almost all my worldviews)
-Ozzy Osbourne
-Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys
-George Carlin (RIP)
-The wretched child character from Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Walk Away from Omelas
-Valerie Solanas....the radical feminist/women who shot Andy Warhol
-Ralph Nader
-Bill Maher
-Daria
-Trent Reznor
-Kurt Cobain

-Too many more to mention

It's about time, that I face reality, and identify with a person, after my nearly 36 years, on earth.
