Because I occasionally have time on my hands for doing whatever I want but mainly sitting around on my couch petting the dog and watching TV housework and cooking and being the best wife ever, I have time to think about random crap.
You know, important stuff too. But also other things.
(Mainly stuff like Edward Cullen. And this really cute purse I saw at Nordstrom yesterday but it's November so I shouldn't be buying things for myself.)
(RIGHT? Right.)
Anyway, one of my favorite things to think about is: What if my life was a movie?
(Hello, narcissism, party of one, your table is ready.)
(I'll admit it. There's no shame in my game.)
"If my life was a movie" is a super fun activity, because you have to cast EVERYONE you interact with on a daily basis in order to really shape out your cinematic alter-life. After giving it a lot of thought, here's what I've come up with.
(I have a few other casting decisions to make so I'll be sure to follow up with you guys on BFF main gay Andrew, J Fooz, and more.)
If my life was a movie...
Ben would be played by the cutie patootie Justin Bartha. They actually do look alike, don't you think? LOVES IT.
Hubs would be played by Bobby Cannavale. Get ready to turn up the bluster, Bob. Hope you're up for it. Playing MY husband is WAY harder than playing Will Truman's. Trust me.
My mom would be played by Cher, like circa "Moonstruck". She'll either hate or love that, I'm not sure.
And me? Well, I'd be played by Sophia Bush.
(Hey, it's MY movie. I can do whatever I want.)
Who would play YOU?

great cast choices
OMG. I love this movie already and your casting is perfect. Except now I really want to do the hubs. And myself.
What? He's a dreamboat!
Loved this! I think I'd want to be played by Roseanne Barr... she's funny, I don't care WHO you are :D
I love that you picked Cher to be your Mom!!! LOVE her :)
xo Laura
** Mmmmm.... who would play me? Maybe the girl from Wedding Crashers, Rachel McAdams...
SO funny Tia...l I have NO idea who would play me...though I've got my friends in the bag- LOL
I've actually been told I resemble Drew Barrymore (or she resembles me? I'm older. Whatever), but I don't see it.
I love this idea! I am going to start casting for my movie.
Kate Winslet!
Or Amanda Bynes - but only if she dyed her hair red.
I love that Cher is playing your mom. ;) Very nice touch.
Me? Hell, I don't even play me well.
kate beckinsale :)
I love it! I would pick Raven Symone to play me. I think that our personalities are the same!
I have options (and I have already been compared to both of these people, so I'm using zero creativity in this list).
But first, some background: I'm the skinniest guy you'll ever meet. I literally haven't found another healthy human being who is skinnier. That'd be great if I was a girl, but since I'm a boy ... not so much.
Here are my two options:
1. Woody from Toy Story
2. Jack the Pumpkin King from Nightmare Before Christmas
Sad but true.
Oh Drew Barry from 50 first dates would totally be me in a movie about my life. I have no clue about the other characters in my life. Maybe I will steal this idea for a blog post!
Um, okay. This question gives me hives. I mean, like, it's a HUGE QUESTION. I want to say Michelle Borth, but maybe that's because I want to make out with her? Is that a good reason to choose someone? No? TMI?
Fine.
My hubster would be played by Michael J. Fox, pre-Parkinson's disease (wait, did you mean right now?). And a very long time ago, I was sure Gwyneth Paltrow would play me, but that was two babies and (um, cough, cough) pounds ago.
Oh my god, Ben totally DOES look like Justin Bartha! (Yes I have been blog-stalking him, and no I have not worked up the balls to comment.)
Sophia Bush ain't got nothin' on you, Tia! (Oh god, did I do that right? I always freak out when I try to use grammatically incorrect colloquial terms and then I don't know if I've properly executed them. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GROW UP WITH SPELL-CHECK.)
I love Sophia Bush. Watching One Tree Hill right now.
OMG! Ben's part is cast perfectly!
If I was in your life... which I'm kinda not... seeing as how I'm only barely a bloggy friend, not even one who has crashed on your couch to go to a Kelly Clarkson concert...
What?
Oh yeah. I'd be played by Leighton Meester ala Gossip Girl.
Everyone says I look like Ally Sheedy... except she's 10 years older than me, and also weighs 30lbs less than me....
Felicia Day! I don't have red hair, but whatever.
Tell Ben he might want his bf to be played by...you know that actor who played Lloyd's boyfriend in Entourage? He's hot, isn't he?
I love, love Sophia Bush. Great choice! Loving it!
If Amanda Bynes had an Australian accent, she would be perfect.
I'd watch that movie!
As for who would play me....probably James Vanderbeek, as my nickname in college was "Dawson". I have since cut my hair and grown up, so I decided to check out, "Celebrity Collage"....which says I look most like: Mark Ruffalo, Nick Carter, Dave Lombardo, Matti Vanhanen, and Rob Thomas. Out of those I'd say a more muscular Nick Carter.
