Mag 165 - sort of so much alike

"Oh! That is so much like me!" she exclaimed, stopping fast in her tracks in front of the gallery window.

"I mean, it's snowing there and (brushing a thin layer off her coat shoulder) it's snowing here....except there it is on the countryside and here on the city streets. Look at the title, about a schoolteacher. I was going to become a teacher like her before I decided to major in poly sci. And I washed my hair last night and read a book too, except I didn't towel-dry my hair like she is doing. I used my blow-dryer so I could catch the news before reading before I went to bed. I bet she is reading a book that I have read too; we are so much alike! By the time I was reading I was wearing my night-T. I did look out the window while I was in the bathroom, though, and I was naked then too. Our bodies would look even more alike if she had a navel ring and tattoos on her arms like mine.

"I have a chair like that, but mine is painted glossy black and has a padded seat cover. See how she enjoys a late-night snack? That's just like me! I can't tell exactly what she is eating, bread maybe? I would have almonds instead, but I would eat them at night while reading. Then I would floss and brush my teeth. I can tell that will be the exact next thing she will do after eating her snack. How awesome!... we are practically the same person, except, of course, she is in a painting and I am outside the painting looking at her, which makes me feel like I am in the painting.........So, yeah, we are practically the same person!"
