Five dorky questions.

  1. Who would play you in the movie of your life, and why?

  2. Which TV/movie characters would be your friends if they were real people (no, they’re not real people)?

  3. Which slightly cheesy celebrities do you secretly think have kind of nifty personalities?

  4. What would be the title/“issue” of your After School Special?

  5. What’s your theme song?

Me:

  1. Well, gee… looks-wise, I’d say J.Lo’s probably the best match, but I’d settle for Halle Berry… :stuck_out_tongue:

  2. If the mom (Lorelei) from The Gilmore Girls were a real person, we’d get along famously. My own mother can’t stand to watch the show, because she thinks Lorelei is such an idiot. I haven’t bothered to tell her that Lorelei is my Doppelganger (except I don’t have a teenage kid).

  3. Dolly Parton and, um… Celine Dion.

  4. Do You Think She’s Been Licking Those Little Stamps? A poignant look at the life of a perpetually happy child in a family of grumps.

  5. Love and Happiness–Al Green

Your turn.

  1. Brad Pitt- Cuz he sort of looks like me…kind of :wink:

  2. The teenage cast of Freaks & Geeks

  3. Justin Timberlake

  4. Reefer Madness!- Just Say No!!

  5. Rock Lobster

:slight_smile:

Oh yeah, that’s right! You’re the Front Parking Lot dude! :smiley:

  1. I would play me. Reason being, I haven’t met and or seen a movie star that comes close to acting or looking like me.

  2. Joan Cusack and John Cusack

  3. John Travota

  4. “The Not so Perfect Mom Show” A show of the trials and tribulations of single parenthood.

  5. Meet Virginia by train

  1. It’s a toss up. Either Bill Goldberg cause he looks like me (scary, I know) or Anthony Hopkins because he thinks like me.

  2. Peter Venkman from the Ghostbusters, Druss the Legend from the David Gemmel series of the same name, no 6 from the Prisoner.

  3. Cameron Diaz (seen alot of interviews with her and she’s cool) Robbie Williams (a friend of mine sold him some art and went for coffee with him and she reckons he is a truly nice guy).

  4. 'Shooting Bullies in the head: necessary evil or necessarily good? ’

  5. Either “I am the one and only” or “Eye of the Tiger”.

God I love being me :slight_smile: and you should love being you. :wink:

These are fantastic questions!

And as such, they require a good deal of contemplation. I simply cannot throw something together right away.

Plus, this is good conversation fodder for my car trip to Vegas tomorrow.

I’m going to mull these over and post answers in a bit.

Good idea!

  1. Who would play you in the movie of your life, and why?
    Rosie O’Donnell. My students are constantly telling me how I look like her. I’m okay with that, I guess.

  2. Which TV/movie characters would be your friends if they were real people (no, they’re not real people)?
    Pacey, Lex, Jake Pratt, Rory, Willow…geez, I should really change the channel occasionally.

  3. Which slightly cheesy celebrities do you secretly think have kind of nifty personalities?
    Jay Leno, Burt Reynolds, Hugh Hefner

  4. What would be the title/“issue” of your After School Special?
    “Prozac for Pollyanna”

  5. What’s your theme song?
    I don’t know why I chose this, but it was te first thing that came to mind: It Ain’t Easy Being Green

Vegas tomorrow?

Gonna see Tom Jones?

I say it’s OK as long as you do not sound like Rosie O’Donnell. For some reason her voice just GRATES.

Doing one-woman conga in office
Pacey Pacey Pay-CEE! Pacey Pacey Pay-CEE!

I love Pacey. Looooooove Pacey.

And as for changing the channel, Hon, you gotta keep your hand in, so you’ll have stuff to talk about with your students! :wink:

Don’t sound a thing like her. I sound like a mix between Scarlett O’Hara and a valley girl. I use “like” a lot, surrounded by sayings like, “Well, I’ll be” and “Well, you just don’t say!”

Exactly!!! We catch up everyday on what’s happening on “our shows”. We relate the characters, plots, and archetypes to class… it’s necessary for my job, I tell ya!!

Pacey and Spike could be my “friends” anyday. Oh yeah, and Tony Soprano. He could be my “friend” too.

Me, because I’ve always wanted to be a teevee celebrity. :slight_smile:

Depends – are cartoon super-heroes allowed?

Pass. Too confusing to answer.

An American Geek

Dare to be Stupid, by “Weird Al” Yankovic.

You sound a lot like me when I taught HS kids. I don’t teach anymore :frowning: , so I tried to satisfy my teaching jones by claiming a 14-year-old kid I found on the street. :stuck_out_tongue:

Didn’t work–he doesn’t watch any of the right shows. :rolleyes:

re: Vegas.

Not Tom Jones. But Paul McCartney.

Boyfriend would say he could do a spot on immitation of TJ singing “What’s New, Pussycat?”. He’d be wrong…

I hope to GOD he’s wrong! :stuck_out_tongue:

  1. Kathy Bates-She’s around my age and we aren’t totally dissimilar in looks.

  2. Susan Ivanova(Claudia Christian) and Vir Cotto(Stephen Furst)

  3. Got to agree with shrew on this one, Jay Leno.

  4. “Not What I’d Planned on-The Baker Story”

  5. The Impossible Dream

Baker! YAAAAAAAAAY! You’re here! Sorry I haven’t emailed–I’ve been hung up here, and also checking out seminars and classes on mapping software (my boss wants me to become well-versed in this crap, in case he gets hit by a bus). I’m hoping I’ll get to go somewhere out of town, stay in a hotel, and eat tasty food… but I’m guessing I won’t get that lucky.

Anyway, thanks again for the coffee, and I don’t think you look like Kathy Bates. For one thing, every time I picture her, she’s swaddled in Saran Wrap.

Of course, that might be a good look for you, given your profession…:wink:

  1. Barbara Stanwyck. Or Lisa Kudrow. Look sorta like me, and I think could act me pretty closely. And I think they’re cool! :slight_smile:
  2. Janice from The Muppet Show, Sydney Wade from The American President…can’t think of any more right now.
  3. Kate Winslet
  4. Believe In Yourself (yeah it’s corny and motivational, but I like it)
  5. “Take on Me” by Ah-Ha. I just like it.
