I am forever telling A Pea that someone needs to make a movie about her life. Specifically, about the crazy men that she attracts. I'd pay money to see it. I'm pretty sure people would be rolling in the aisles. I envision scene after scene of crazy date after crazy date. Or phone call, take your pick.
Which, of course, leads to the inevitable question, "Okay, T Pea, but who would play me?"
Hm.
"I'm not sure, that's a good question. In fact, that's a GREAT question for today's QOD!"
"Okay. Who's going to write it?"
I guess that would be me, what with the new filters at A Pea's work and all. (Curse them. Don't they know we have important business to conduct here?)
Don't you love how I've extended this into so much more than it really is? Okay, I'll cut to the chase. We'll go with a classic/old standby today.
If someone was going to make a movie out of your life, who would play you?

when i was in high school, people used to tell me all the time that i looked like that chick who played jenny in forest gump. i'm not sure who she is, so i'll say her.
although, i'd love it if people told me i looked like meg ryan instead.
sj - Robin Wright Penn. Yes, I can totally see that! Of course, Meg Ryan would be great, too. ;)
For me, I'd probably pick Janeane Garafalo. But I'd love it if the director vetoed me and said, "No, T Pea, you look wayyyyy more like Ashley Judd." Hee hee.
However, if they cast Bradley Cooper (Will from Alias) to play Andrew.... I just might have to play myself. ;)
sj - do you think Robin and Ashley are neighbors with adjoining backyards that have a giant fence containing the two? Maybe they're living out our dream life.
Given the material with which the actress has to work (and trust me readers, you don't know the half of it...), it'd have to be someone that could capture a lot of different, whacked out situations.
If we're talking specifically about my dates from hell movie, I would love to say Reese Witherspoon simply b/c I really like her, but she's so not me. Even in character as me, I think she'd still be too nice. Renee Zellweger's quirkiness could be a good fit, given how well she portrayed all of Bridget Jones' dating disasters, but we look nothing alike. Hmm... I'll have to think about this one a bit.
i bet they are. plus, they're rich. rotten biatches.
I'd want HCarver to play me in movies -- he looks like how I feel most of the time!
Otherwise, I'd be happy with my life being a cartoon, and Ted from Sally Forth playing me. He's spot on, except thinner and with prettier hair.
Andrew, I thought for sure you would pick Herbie the Dentist in Rudolph!!
He's definitely my Claymation choice, lbozrn! :)
As far as real live human beings go, I guess I'd have to go with David Hyde Pierce. Except he's too thin, too...
Kate Winslet - hands down. And not Kate Winslet like "Titanic", but Kate Winslet being Kate Winslet. We have so much in common in terms of personality and quirks it is kind of creepy.
And my hubby would be Tom Hulce. 10 points to anyone that knows who what is without having to google it! :)
Tom Hulce??? Please tell me that's not the Amadeus guy. I may have to disown you.
[checking imdb]
It *is*. Oh, Erin.
Okay, okay, admittedly, I've only seen him in Parenthood. Maybe it's just the character that I despise.
I know...I know. I hate that character too. And I haven't seen him in anything other than that and Amadeus....
But how do you convince your hubby?
Let's face it, Kate Winslet in Heavenly Creatures and Little Children is no winner either! :)
Sorry for my absence Tara, I mean T pea (I know how important it is for you to conceal your identity)... It does have to do with our ridiculous "blocks." Although, I'm not sure why A pea has access and I don't. Anyway, thought I'd get caught up since I'm on the road "working."
My great grandmother used to tell me I looked like Sinbad. Yes, I said Sinbad. WTF Granny? Do you even know who Sinbad is? Let's see, you need a magnifying glass to read the paper and 50% of the time you call me Norm... Are you sure I look like Sinbad?
RIP Grandma... Maybe I'll see you again some day... Well, I guess that depends on where you ended up.
Uhhh... I forgot to answer the qod.
John Krasinski. We seem to have a similar demeanor (because I know him so well).
