yeah, it's monday

[lirazel]

So some of you will be pleased to know I have a doctor's appointment on Wednsday. So hopefully good will come of that.

In the interval, while I still can't work up anything like the emotional energy to wade through comments and actually, you know, reply (love me anyways!), let's do this, shall we? (stolen from dollsome)

I think it's inevitable that as we read each other's journals we create mental pictures of each other. Post this on your own journal to find out who your friends see when they read about your life.

Two Rules:
1) The person must be in the movies or on TV (but doesn't have to be an actor/actress). The person can be specific to a role or character or just the person.
2) Post a picture.

Also, I don't have much to say about True Blood except that I've missed Jason Stackhouse's face and was pleased to have it on my TVcomputer screen again. Also, Jessica and Hoyt. They better be endgame, is all I'm sayin'. And Lafayette. And Terry and Arlene. And Pam. And Andy. And...that might be it.

This meme doesn't work, because I already know what you look like *pout*

In other things, I included you in my big group email update - I hope you don't mind.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Ha! True! But if you want to play along, you can throw out an image you associate with me. Or whatever!

I don't mind at all! I saw it just now, and I can't wait to check it out tomorrow. Thanks for keeping me updated!

I think this may be because my first lj encounter with you was like my favourite Jess/Rory fic ever, ERGO:

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I am insanely pleased to be associated with that fic, which is one of my favorites I ever wrote. *happy sigh*

And she looks so pretty there!

[next_to_normal]

This meme is kind of awesome. I don't know if I have a picture of a specific celebrity in mind for you, but whoever she is, she'd have curly hair.

[snickfic]

Okay. So. Curly hair, retro fashion. I just saw The Thirteenth Floor the other day, which has lots of retro in it. So, Gretchen Mol, who is oh-so-elegant with her 40's waved hair and her 40's-era dresses. Even if she is blond.

[bobthemole.livejournal.com]

What, you mean you don't look like your LJ icons?

Srsly, my current mental image of you is blond hair, half-open mouth and no eyes.





(I am penguin, hear me squawk)

This is partly because I already know what you look like, but:
Trying to remember if you watched Everwood. I think you'd like it if you don't. The picture's not great quality, but that's Hannah, one of the best characters.

Also, I went to a counsellor today to talk about anxiety! Your post last week inspired me.

[gingerwall.livejournal.com]

You have a lot of Sierra/Priya icons, so I just assume that you look exactly like Dichen Lachman.

You are tall, thin, Asian, have light brown hair and an Aussie accent... no? :)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Isn't it awesome?

Yes, my hair needs to be taken into account. :p Do you have any idea how hard a time I've had finding an actress who remotely resembles me and is close to my age? I've been meaning to do the Cast Your Life meme forever, but I seriously can't find anyone who fits. The closest I can come is Emmy Rossum, and I don't think she can act.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Man, I so do this, too. You look exactly like your default icon in my head. However, I might have to start picturing you like a penguin now....

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if I grew my hair out? I would sort of resemble her! I've never watched more than an episode of Everwood, but on the rare occasions that I have, she's struck me as being similar to me.

Oh, good! I'm glad I could inspire! I hope it helps!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I wish!

You are tall, thin, Asian, have light brown hair and an Aussie accent... no? :)

Let's see. Average height, thin, very white, darkish brown hair, and a Southern accent.

:D

[next_to_normal]

Haha, well, we could always find a straight-haired actress and curl her hair. :) I am kind of tempted to say Mila Kunis, which I suspect is influenced by your mood theme, but she's kinda wavy not curly. But we could fix that. *eg*

And having just watched a movie with Emmy Rossum, I can say with confidence that your instincts about her acting are correct.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Gretchen Mol is gorgeous! I am pleased to be associated with her!

Was the movie good?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

True, true. But it's hard to find people who resemble me facially either. *sigh*

I actually adore Mila Kunis. She looks nothing like me, but I think she actually could play me. I also think Deborah Ann Woll would make a good me--she can do spazz and angst and joy like I can. Also, Lenore Crichlow, who actually does have curly hair. (See icon)

[next_to_normal]

Heh, I am always conflicted between who I wish could be me (Erin Karpluk!) and who actually looks and acts like me, lol.

It's weird how many people I encounter who look like actors, though. One of my college roommates is weirdly AmyAcker-like (she got me to watch Angel by saying, "There's a character who's exactly like me!"), there's a guy on my bus who looks like Harry Lennix, and I have weekly meetings with D.B. Woodside and Alona Tal lookalikes. It's kinda creepy.

Now I kind of want to do a Cast Your Life meme, except it wouldn't be as fun since none of you know my family and friends...

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

She's a great choice! I love it!

I love that game!

Is D.B. Woodside look-alike single?

It's actually still really fun. I always enjoy it!

[next_to_normal]

Is D.B. Woodside look-alike single?

Haha, I don't know. I've never talked to him.

Now you've got me thinking about this! (the cast your life meme, not DB-lookalike)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

D.B. Woodside is hot. I'm just sayin'.

DO IT!

I think I might have a poll: Who Should Play Me? Because I have most everybody else in my life cast....

[next_to_normal]

I think I might have a poll: Who Should Play Me?

YES! Awesome.

I have a hard time casting my parents. I'd totally pick Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton (they even have the right hair!), but they'd have to play my parents 15 years ago, lol.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Parents are tough because of how relatively few actors who aren't drop-dead-gorgeous get kept around after 40 or so.

[next_to_normal]

Haha, "after 40"? I'm having trouble with that at all ages (which is why I'm never happy with who I pick for myself - I always feel like I'm prettying myself up, lol).

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Nah, that's very true, and I'm with you on that. But I do think there's a tendency to shunt women, especially, offscreen after a certain point. A few are allowed to stick around but they're, like, Helen Mirren or something. And who can compare?

[next_to_normal]

True, true. I kept coming across "Sexiest Actresses Over 50" lists, and I'm like, "This doesn't help me!!!"

So are you going to post yours? I will if you will!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I am! First I'm going to do a "Help me cast me!" post, and then from there I'll make a little picspam. I already have my sister and parents and various cousins and friends cast.

[snickfic]

Eh. In terms of existentially angsty cybertech action movies, it was relatively light and fluffy. It really suffered from one or two unlikely plot points and from the fact that a lot of what it tried to do, The Matrix did way better. But it had some fun de facto time-travel aspects to it.

[mollivanders.livejournal.com]

I hope your doctor's appointment went well :)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to it, actually. Hopefully good will come of it.

PEGGY! AWESOME CHOICE!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Too bad. Because existentially angsty cybertech action movies are really my kind of films....

[snickfic]

It was... pleasant. Which would come under the heading of "damning with faint praise," I think.

Do you like existentially angsty cybertech books? Say, William Gibson or some of Neal Stephenson's stuff?
