Which character are you?


I think we all have characters from this movie.I was reminded of this by another thread. I, for one, would be Roberta. It seems like most people are Sam.

Into creepy stuff and kind of geeky at times like Sam, and the one socially conservative, snarky, and the one with common sense in the group like Chrissy who was sheltered growing up (not intentionally, however, unlike with Mrs DeWitt). I like old Hollywood like Teeny but otherwise do not relate to get her at all. Not sure how I'm like Roberta except a bit adventurous and easygoing.

Is he gonna borrow a cup o' sugar from Satan?

A mix of Sam and Roberta. Roberta because I was/still am/can be tomboyish and like her. But also like Sam because I want to be a writer, etc.

I think I'm probably a combination of Samantha and Chrissy. I was and probably still am one of the more innocent in my friend group. I'm not as clueless as Chrissy, I definitely know more than she did, even when I was 12, but I tend to think more on the innocent side of things rather than the dirty side. I,m also like Sam, though, in that I'm a bit more reserved with my feelings and I think I'm compassionate like she is.

Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.

I'm more of a Chrissy type and a little bit of Sam (since my parents are separated).
I'm sort of always sheltered and was always kind of chubby growing up & innocent.

I was an only child like Teeny but I was the most like Samantha as a kid - I loved anything to do with ghosts, oujia boards, seance's, morbid stuff (not in a creepy way though) - I would have loved to go to cemetery at night to contact dear Jonny like they do in the movie - I mean it would have really scared me but I still would have loved to do it.

That is exactly me. When we "played" Now & Then since we were 11 when it came out, I was Teeny because she was an only child and had a cat but I definitely think I fit Sam better. My friend actually lived up the street from a cemetery and we spent a lot of time there, just rollerblading and looking at headstones seeing the ages and wondering how the young ones died. I don't think I would've had the courage to go in there at night though. I was into the Ouija board too and I asked it if OJ was going to be acquitted. It said yes when I was convinced of his guilt lol.

Chrissy. I didn’t cuss every thought many of my friends did. It just wasn’t who I was and still isn’t.
