Unlikely update: presented by insomnia

Say theoretically, somebody turned your life into a movie. A frame-by-frame duplication of some of the most memorable moments you have ever experienced, strung together into a somewhat comprehendible narrative.

What kind of movie would it be, genre wise? Comedy? Drama? Would it have an arc? Would there be any sort of resolution? What would the major conflict be? Antagonists? Thematic structures? What would be the appropriate directorial style?

Who would play you?

Do you believe after watching it, you would perceive yourself any differently?

Mine would be a comedy with no major story arcs and no need for a resolution. Just day to day amusement and happenings primarily focussed on me creating the least successful match making service ever, while multi-tasking as an engineer, RE agent and sports league convenor. The movie's score would be neither grandiose nor sweeping, it would be more like a narrative story-song that taylor swift would sing and then win 4 grammy's for. Infact my life could be summarized in a 3 minute T. swift music video montage rather than a 2 hour movie. But if it were a movie, I would be played by Rachael McAdams until the director realizes that i am more like an even less attractive Janeane Garofalo. I think i would be amused by my life movie. A definate highlight would be that time I was certain des' stalker was going to stab me while kev watched near by with a newspaper he cut eye holes out of. haha good times.

So are you saying i can only be played by lucy liu, Zhang Ziyi (too fobby to be me) or Michelle Yeoh (too old). Hmm possibly a mixed Kristen Kreuk? She's about the right age.

Sandra Oh... if you can get her to close her mouth for a sec.
