Enough teachers in school would call me by my sister's name that I'll usually turn around if I hear someone say it.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, I do answer to my last name. I wonder if anyone else in my family does. That would be confusing. Luckily my sister eschews Starbucks and their ilk.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Did you look more alike as kids, Hil?

Not even remotely. Well, I've heard different opinions on how similar our facial features are, but our coloring has always been really different.

Oh, wait. I used to answer to New Mexico. As well as Lastname. But not Sara. Because there were so goddamn many Sara(h)s in my school, not to mention dorm and circle of friends, we used adjectives to differentiate us. Tall, Short, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland, Hippy, New, Chem, Rocks...it went on and on. And my senior year, a Sara from my hometown showed up.

My circle of friends in college included Big Dan, Little Dan, Drunk Dan, Boston Dan, and Squirrelly Dan.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I answer to my last name, which is probably funnier when it happens to me than when it happens to you all.
Everyone believes my sister and I look a lot alike, but it's not true, it's just that we were the only minorities in our geographic areas. We do laugh similarly, apparently, though.

People think my sister and I look alike too, but it's not true either. We are obviously related, but that's a personality thing.

Liese, that just reminded me that my dad accidentally called me by his sister's name last week. She's been dead about a year now, but apparently, he's always thought I sound like her, minus the LI accent. Which... I should call my uncle. All his snopes-worthy conservative spam bedamned. He loved my aunt, and loves me even though he didn't meet me until I was in my 20s.
(I'm giving him another year before I actually begin responding with snopes.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One of my mother's friends this weekend said I am a combination of my two parents, which is TOTALLY TRUE, and I don't understand why people say I look just like my mother. Actually, I understand why they say it, but they are still wrong.
