I don't think so! I don't see it! And, I'm kind of offended.
There are some similarities. While I really would rather die than dress up on a daily basis, when I do get around to dressing up I like to have fun with it. I'll "rock a lot of polka dots." I'll tease that hair and acquire some sixties-ness. As someone who has ADHD, I am prone to having a lack of physical grace, lending to situations where I trip and fall for no reason. There are a lot of ways that I'd like to be self-sufficient but need help with that might be considered cute but to me are embarrassing and unacceptable. Also I'm a white brunette with blue green eyes. I'm also a lovable goofball who people call weird who dances and sings uncontrollably (ADHD, guys.) And if I'm in a really good mood, I can out "bubbly" anybody and am like a child excited for Christmas day.
But there are a whole lot of ways that I'm different.
- I really like saying the word fuck and I laugh at fart jokes, when Jess spent an episode not being able to say the word penis.
- I don't like crafting! Nope! And trying to do so leads to me saying the word FUCK. A lot!
- I'm not a teacher. While I think kids are cute, I would not like to work with them on a regular basis beyond protecting them from neglect and abuse.
- I would be attracted to Winston or Schmidt over Nick. I might have a crush on Nick, but I'd probably set him up with people or watch Family Guy with him, where as I'd pine for a Schmidt.
- I'd probably punch out anybody who attempts to "fix" me. I am not an appliance!
- I'm overweight. Pizza is my favorite!
- I have chronic depression and find myself being a Nick more often than a Jess. I am actually quite similar to a Grumpy Cat character. I've actually had people in my own family and people I'm around on a regular basis accuse me of being one the nastiest people they've ever met, due to my really bad habit at losing my shit in an aggressive and heartless manner from time to time. I can be quite cruel, cold, and blunt. It's taken a lot of therapy to rein that in.
- I've basically been on my own since 18 or 19 years old. I'm not a child. As I've gotten older and fallen in love and have gotten lazy, I DO have a tendency to regress. However, when all of my friends were still living at home in their parents' basement after high school, I was braving a four hour commute to both go to work and school and pay bills. That's not something childish people do.
It really irks me to be compared to Jess day and then see that a majority of people really wish she wasn't on the show. I'm hoping these people are my friends because they can see the whole me, and not just the me that happens when I wear a dress for the first time in two months and it has polka dots on it and I'm actually out of the house.
But if you've said I'm like Jess, I still love you. Why? The New Girl is my favorite show and the fact that you're comparing me to this character means you've obviously watched it once or twice.
