Doppleganger

I am currently reading "The Time Traveler's Wife". It's a good read.  A long read. But a fast read. That's neither here nor there. The point of all this is to say I came across a word I had never heard or read before. 

Doppleganger.

I, of course, had to look up the definition.

Any double or look alike person. 

The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection.

Now normally I would not care one bit about this. But it came a day or so after I had my own doppleganger experience. 

I was at work, the girls were napping. I was naturally put-zing around on the internet and glanced out the window, to see a girl loading up her Jeep. And the longer I stared at her, the more I was like, "She looks like me. That could quite possibly BE me!! Is it?"

It was a strange out of body experience. As I watched her shift various items in her Jeep, I was sitting there thinking of how this must be what I look like to other people. 

I mean we are talking about the same hair color, body type, nose, side profile, paleness, and shoulders. 

I had to get over the fact that she was sorta dressed like Princess Leia...I figured she must be dressing for some convention or something along those lines (something I would never do) but besides that, she was me!

Crazy.
