The hip bone connected to the

There's a boy in my class who looks just like Seth Green. Except he is much taller, and perfectly proportioned, and not even vaguely simian. But he has the same hair. Anyway, I spent all of yesterday's ridiculous immigration discussion eyeing him and wondering what he'd look like without his flesh on. He has great bones.

Yesterday I turned in all my papers, so as of today my time is my own. Whatever will I do with myself? I think it's time to heave pub night onto the slab, order Igor to set up the lightning rods, and get this monster back to terrorizing the villagers where it belongs.* Ideally someone else will do it, though; you know I am shit at planning events. Anyone?

*Kenneth Branaugh is biting his fist in agony over that horribly extended metaphor.

so he looks nothing like seth green except for the hair, and that's enough for him to look just like seth green? i guess all us redheads look the same to you, eh, whitey?

oh, go back to your potato blight, ya mick.

i have to agree with matt here. because when you first met him you raved to me about how you met a guy who looked just like seth green and honestly apart from the red hair and pasty skin, (sorry matt), he looks nothing like seth green. so my doubts about this boy looking anything like seth green are founded in past experience.

Everyone used to tell Docta V he looked like various other redheads, from Seth Green to Eric Stolz. This hit its high point when my sister Kelly drew a birthday card for the good docta featuring Ronald McDonald on the front and a caption reading "You.".

In reality, he looks most like non-redhead Neil Patrick Harris.

first of all, what i *raved* about was the MATT HOLOHAN club. the seth green thing was a side note. and you didn't think it was jordan catalano at first either, michele. so your doubts have a history of being wrong.

Plan something for Monday. Not that I'll be there or anything, but plan something for Monday.

Seth's in your class? Crazy coincidences in this world, eh? He's dating this girl named Jessie now. You've met her before, but I think it was years ago.

ha! i bet nuala will back me up here. you went on and on (on, admittedly, only one occasion) about how he looked just like seth green. nuala, who was i think there the first night you met him, just looked at me and shook her head.

huh. that neil patrick harris/dr. v thing is right on. never would have thought of it myself, but i totally agree.

i didn't doubt that it was jordan catalano, i just 1) didn't see him when he first passed us, and then 2) never watched my so-called life and so his image was not engraved on my soul so my recognition skills went along the lines of 'i dunno.'

WHAT?!?!?!

Posted by: michele at May 19, 2004 11:50 AM

oh yeah! jessie! that girl is cool. i am your sister.

Posted by: didofoot at May 19, 2004 12:34 PM

Yes you said he looked like Seth Green and I think I remember saying, "kinda" The fan club was funny though.....

Why are you screaming, "WHAT!?!"

Posted by: nuala at May 19, 2004 12:39 PM

it was for the sister of mine that's dating seth green who turned out to be a leprechaun. or something. anyway, it was directed at brian danny. but now it is resolved by an email from kristen. and now i can relax again knowing seth green is safe from evil little green girls named jessie. hmm...or seth green is the leprechaun. which would make more sense since he is short and irish.

Posted by: michele at May 19, 2004 12:50 PM

not green though. not green. that could pose a problem.

Posted by: michele at May 19, 2004 12:50 PM

his hair is sometimes green. as is the hair of the boy in my class sometimes, as well as various other colors, and he has the same haircut. hence his seth-green-ness in my eyes.

"your hair, is...is brown!"
"oh, yeah, sometimes."

Posted by: didofoot at May 19, 2004 12:52 PM

much as i enjoy being the topic of conversation, i'll point out that kristen hasn't denied saying that i look like seth green, she just denied raving about it. for the record, i think i look more like seth green now that i spike my hair than i did back in 1999. but apart from the hair, the pasty skin (no problem, michele), and the sarcasm i don't think we look very much alike.

aaron does look a lot like niel patrick harris, who for some reason was portrayed as a redhead on "the simpsons." weird.

Posted by: holohan at May 19, 2004 02:49 PM

i guess i did rave about that too actually. i was just insistent about you overall.

and for the record, since we are all recording things, when holohan walked in, nuala and i agreed to each other, from our filthy seat on the ward street floor, that he was seth greeny. she was with me. oh yes.

Posted by: didofoot at May 19, 2004 03:03 PM

come to think of it, i think i may have been wearing my seth green mask. that would explain things.

and it was 1998, not 1999. damn my human legs.

Posted by: holohan at May 19, 2004 03:06 PM

I didn't move to Ward Street until 1999. I think you two met at our very first party there, aside from the ones Jigar and Mike had before I moved in where people occasionally had sex on the floor of my empty bedroom.

Posted by: sean at May 19, 2004 03:09 PM

But, yes, Matt may well have been wearing his Seth Green mask. There were a couple weeks there where you could hardly get him to take it off for meals and showers, even.

Posted by: sean at May 19, 2004 03:10 PM

yes, it hadn't yet advanced to the ward street shindigs of later years. there was i think one other girl there besides nuala and i. i remember thinking "what, sean doesn't know any girls? this is great!"

Posted by: didofoot at May 19, 2004 03:11 PM

right, 1999. damn it. the system i had for keeping track of college events is getting less reliable as i become more of an old man. but at least i remember that it was octoberish.

Posted by: holohan at May 19, 2004 03:52 PM

for the record, in person, Seth Green does in fact look exactly like Seth Green...mmm pretty :)

Posted by: Adrienne at May 19, 2004 04:18 PM

ady, sometimes i love to hate you.

Posted by: michele at May 19, 2004 10:25 PM

Isn't she horrible. I totally fogot that she was going to meet him...Or someone you know knows him right....It's hard to keep track of all your star meeting and friends star friends. I get lost.
