Stolen from 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.)
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.
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...
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.
Ah, well if 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.

Nonsense!
Okay, your turn!
Here was what I posted on
"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.
