Okay, I'll admit, I'm not completely like Aaron Hotchner, but I have found one similarity and that's made me giddy beyond all belief. What's that one thing?
I am horrible at being sick.
For those of you who watch Criminal Minds, you'll understand why this makes Hotch and I alike. If not, please feel free to watch this until the famous Hotch line, WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES PLEASE?
See, I have this problem with people taking care of me. I don't like it. When I have to be in that kind of situation, being told what I can or cannot do for myself, it drives me up the wall. Especially when it conflicts with my work. Oh, I don't think I hate anything more than that.
Except for spiders.
This leads me to the famous saying, "I'm fine." When I'm sick, nothing bothers me more than being pitied. Sure, I know it's that my friends love me and want to make me better, blah blah blah, but I'm feeling bad enough. At least let me think I can handle something simple like walking to my dorm by myself.
Although, I admit, I'm not very intelligent when it comes to knowing my limits. I am, simply put, a workaholic. Free time? What's that?
While being sick this past week, my friend Ariel pointed out that I'm totally Cristina Yang from Grey's Anatomy. She's possibly more of a workaholic than Hotch. And the more I watched of the show, the more I started to agree. There was an episode where she'd had surgery and was supposed to be on bed rest, yet she found herself a wheelchair and went around trying to steal people's patients so she could work.
...I might have done the same exact thing in my Stage Combat class when I got sick.

"Guys, I'm fine!!" ... "Or not."
Well, my inability to stop working like Hotch and Cristina ended up making me sicker, having to go to the doctor, get a breathing treatment, and basically spend a week in bed. Next time, I'll just...oh heck, I'm still gonna be Hotch and work till I drop.
Like a boss.
