Casting you- Just for fun

For this lovely Thursday, I want to play a little game with all you, my readers.

If your life story were to be made into a movie, who would be cast as you? Would you prefer it to be based on looks or personality? Or would you rather they disregard both and present you as somebody much more attractive and interesting than you are? Would it make a difference if your story were spun as a comedy or a drama?

If my life story were made into a movie, I am pretty sure it would be a comedy. Life just isn't tragic in my little world, thank you very much. I also would like the casting-director-gods to completely gloss over my awkwardness and cast an actress that actually makes me appear socially adept.

Now for picking the lady lucky enough to play me (you can click the "About" button to see a picture of me, if you are so inclined). For the last 11 years or so, I have heard (at least 5 times a week) that I look just like Britney Spears. Which could be flattering:

Or not so much, depending on the phase of her life:

I also have been told that I look a great deal like Kristen Bell, Katherine Heigl and Jennie Garth.

 All of these ladies are older than me: Ms. Spears by 1 year, Ms. Bell by 2 years, Ms. Heigl by 4 years and Ms. Garth by 10 years. Since I have three kids and don't need any help looking older, I'm gonna have to scratch Jennie Garth. (Sorry to my bestest bestie... this is her vote).

And since I'm a little on the va-va-voomy side of the figure scale, I'm also going to have to scratch Kristen Bell. She's gorgeous, but nobody would believe that I am that thin.

And, dear God, please don't let my life story be played by Britney Spears. Ever.

That leaves me with Katherine Heigl. I could do worse.

So, let's hear it: who would play you in a movie? You can post your answers in the comments, or if you're a little on the verbose side, you can write your own blog post and post a link to it below.
