Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] sallymn: Someone is writing your biography. Tell me what the opening sentence is. (Also, tell me who would play you in the movie, when your biography becomes a best seller.)

Since you're far more likely to have your biography written, I want to know what your answers are! :D

I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

Oh, gosh. It would probably be something about the fact that my Mum was obssessed with John F Kennedy, so it's ironic that her first born should appear on the anniversary of his assassination, maybe?

And as for who would play me... um, no idea. All the actresses I can think of are too beautiful, heh.

Okay, your turn!

You can riff on a Sheryl Crow lyric: "She was born on the day Aldous Huxley died."

Nonsense!


Okay, your turn!
Here was what I posted on [livejournal.com profile] sallymn's journal:

"It was an old wall; it waited."

Emma Thompson has been suggested in the past, but she is tall, and got to sleep with Kenneth Branagh. Woody Allen is more likely.

If you ever saw a picture of my dad, it would all make sense.

I think I saw an actress in something last week that made me think "hey, she looks like Una"... buggered if I can remember what it was though.

"M.T. looked at her belly and smiled. If she'd known she would be giving birth to a future layabout occultist pansexual nymphomaniac with tendencies towards substance abuse, depression and obsessive-compulsive watching and analysing of British telefantasy, she may have had changed her views on abortion." (See me being cheery...)

And I suppose it's Lauren Ambrose playing me, after putting on a few stone...

Lauren Ambrose is an excellent choice.

Sarcasm always wins. I think:).

I don't get the Lauren Ambrose thing myself, she looks more like my little sister, but ho hum:)... still can't remember the name of the Una clone, damn it.

Una-clone could well have been one of my sisters, we all look identical, although one has curly red hair and the other has straight black hair.

I was thinking of Woody Allen to play me. He's going to be busy. (But I've no ideas for a first sentence."

And imagine if we turned up in each other's film.

If you like your part in mine can be the mysterious woman whom I never pluck up the courage to introduce myself to.

If you like, your part can be the wise next-door neighbour who says sage things over the garden fence in Home Improvement.

And Mike Myers. Which kinda fits.

Ah, well if [livejournal.com profile] katlinel is having HBC, then I'll try a second draft.

"I hope it's a boy," said her brother. "Then I can teach him sport."

I've been trying to think of an actor who really does remind me of me, but I suspect the person I'm looking for is so nondescript I haven't noticed her. But if we get into my later life, maybe I can have Melissa Jaffer.

Mike was never quite in step with the other children. "Different", is the most charitable way I can say it.

Billy Bob Thornton.

"Oh my god - what on earth is THAT?" screamed the midwife.

I'd probably be played by some spotty oik from 'Stenders.
