Alia Shawkat's twin?

Instead of writing my paper, I was searching for random shit on Flickr. First, I looked at pics of other people skiing at Snoqualmie, and Ioved this one, which encapsulates the Snoqualmie beginner's experience (but note it's the snowboarders that are down):

Many searches and a couple sentences of my paper later, I arrived at Alia Shawkat (Maeby), who I've always thought looks a bit like me. The search produced a few candid pictures of her at a Weezer concert, plus this:

Excuse me? Is that ME? Because it looks exactly like me about two years ago, when I had better hair. It looks a hell of a lot more like me than it does Maeby, at any rate, and I used to wear my hair exactly like that - all poufy - back when it was... better.

Creepy.

Haysus Kristo, it could be you! She looks exactly like you! Only, you never carried a green water bottle around...

Wow!

I guess there are 3 possibilities: (a) I was with someone who carried a swanky black purse and green Nalgene bottle, waiting in a food courty area; or (b) someone out there looks a lot like me, especially whilst looking down at their hand, and if we were to meet one day it would be pretty sweet; or (c) my parents had another child - a twin even - with better hair than I, and that's why I was born in Canada - so my mom could give up my twin for adoption by a... Canadian (god knows why she didn't raise both of us), and if we were to meet one day it would be traumatizing....

I could totally buy that that was you. Or Alia Shawkat. Or BOTH! *Cue dramatic chord*

If anyone needs me, I'll be in the accusing parlor.

Guys, I think there might be a thread about me (or my nicer haired twin) on IMDb.

Can't be sure because the photo link is broken, but they said "cafeteria"... and less pretty and thin which I would be the first to agree with...

Anyway, the saga continues...

Oh God, it's on her fansite:

I'm going to stop searching. Otherwise this will never end.
