Roger Federer

One of my therapists suggested that I should make a list of people who reminded me of myself. This sounded like a fun homework assignment, and so I did it straight away. This is the list that I came up with:

Martin Luther King—For our belief in equality for all people, oratorical skills and fondness for alcohol.
Aragon from Lord of the Rings—As played by Viggo Mortenson.
Ernest Hemingway—For some pretty obvious reasons and the fact that we both look good in Greek Fisherman’s sweater.
Captain Picard of the USS Starship Enterprise—Cool under pressure.
Lenny Kravitz—Fashion icon.
Roger Federer—I am good at tennis, and I think we are both class acts.
Marcel Proust—Writer who was a sickly child and who had close ties to his mother.
George Clooney—Salt and pepper hair.
Spiderman
Nick Cave
Maurice “The Rocket” Richard—We both share a certain fire in the belly.

I took my list into my therapist and we had a long and interesting talk about how I view myself in the world. Dr. Ellen said that she thought that now that we both had a clear idea of how I saw myself, that it would be a good idea to find out how other people viewed me in the world, and to see if the two matched up as it should “in healthy and balanced” people. And so, she told me to pick somebody who knows me very well, and to ask them to create a list of people who honestly reminded them of me, and so naturally, I asked Rachelle.

This is her list:

Woody Allen
Mister Burns (mostly just the body)
That guy from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
Benjamin Button (when he was an elderly little boy)
Peewee Herman
Larry David (most old people)
A pickle
Shaggy from Scooby-Doo
Youssarian, Flower’s troubled younger brother from the Whiskers clan on Meerkat Manor.
