Today's questions:

Do you typically enjoy reading stories or books where you're similar to the protagonist?

Do you typically enjoy watching movies or tv shows where you're similar to the protagonist?

Are there fictional characters that you think you're like? Any like you that you don't enjoy reading about?

based on things that bosstweed and owenthomas have said/written, although Owen said his part a long time ago. I'd be seriously interested in finding out people's answers.

A friend replied to one of my earlier entries with a recommendation for Questionable Content. I've been going through the archives and enjoying it quite a bit, but at some point earlier today it struck me how entirely unlike myself any of the characters are. I then realized that I couldn't name a single character in any medium whom I would consider "like me" in any significant way. Maybe Daria came close.

So I think I would like reading something where I'm similar to the protagonist, but the opportunity has never come up, and that hasn't stopped me from enjoying all sorts of things.
