I prefer the one that said I was CJ, even if I'm actually Toby.

Though apparently the question is, to Avram's Donna or to Avram's Toby?

As to rathers, I'd rather be Leo.

What a shocker.

I note the hostess hasn't told us which character she is. I have my guesses; I'm leaning towards Abby.

Not quite, I don't think, but maybe I just know myself less well than I'd like. Really, I mean, does it seem to any of you that I'm like that? Distractable, maybe, and kinda coming from out of left field but there's always a reason and isn't this Sunday night I mean it's ... just strange.

I don't watch "The West Wing" (or much other TV, except for random snatches of Classic Arts Showcase and The Cartoon Network), and therefore had no idea why I came out as this character. I switched answers a few times--from "quiet" to "idealistic" on the first question, "talking. lots of talking" to "torturing people with inane trivia" for ideal job, and "Frank Sinatra" to "Bruce Springsteen" for choice of music, and still came up Charlie every time. Is it possible that the relationship question had something to do with it? My answer on that one was "in a steady relationship, uh, I think. Has anyone seen my girlfriend?"

I came out as Sam Seaborne when I want to be Abby. Well, really, I just want to be Stockard Channing. Unless I have to wear that dress she wore to the Emmys tonight. Where West Wing, yet again, won best drama.

It's a match made at the corner of Fandom and Coincidence.

And I so wanted to be Toby, CJ or Leo (but mainly Toby...).

This makes me very happy.

"No, I'm disagreeing with you. That doesn't mean I'm not listening to you or understanding what you're saying. I'm doing all three at the same time."

It says I'm C.J., go figure.

Glenn, given the questions, I don't think Abby is an option.

But Toby is grumpy and cranky and highly verbal with style.
