Your Life As a Romantic Comedy

You have to choose the actors who will play:
♥ Yourself alias the main character: Kate Mara

It's always hard for me to cast actors as myself, but I think Kate would be the best choice. She looks like a normal girl, which, you know, works well for me.

♥ The true love: Brendan Hines

He looks like the type of guy anyone could fall in love with.

♥ The "mistake": Nick Stahl

He's attractive, but in comparison to the "true love", he's definitely a big mistake.

♥ The true love's best friend: Joshua Jackson

I'd envision him as the owner of a book store or CD store who knows both my character and the "true love", and hooks them up. Plus, I could easily see Brendan Hines and Joshua Jackson hanging out together.

♥ The rival: Arielle Kebbel

She looks the part of the blonde bombshell, and looks like she'd have no problem stealing your guy.

♥ Mom: Kelli Williams

She looks very warm and caring, and would give good advice.

♥ Dad: Chris Meloni

You definitely want a father who would be protective of you, but not overly so, and even though Elliott on 'SVU' is over protective sometimes, Chris doesn't look like he'd smother you.

♥ Sister/brother (or both):
Younger brother: Anton Yelchin


Younger sister: Abigail Breslin


Okay, so I have no siblings in real life, but these two look like they'd be great; you have the cool younger brother who looks out for you and the cute as a button younger sister who looks up to you.

♥ Hot Older Married Neighbor: Misha Collins

There's always that one neighbour in rom-coms that you lust after, even though you know he's unavailable. And in this case, who wouldn't want Misha to be theirs?

♥ The Best Friends:
BFF 1: Amanda Seyfried

The sassy, fun one you go to with your guy problems.

BFF 2: Olivia Thirlby

The quiet girl who is ridiculously talented at music or writing or some combination of both of them.

BFF 3: Ari Graynor

The down to earth one.

BFF 4: Ben Foster

The boy you've been friends with since grade school, who you have always viewed as a brother.

This initially only had a place for one best friend, but who really only has just one? And only girls at that?

♥ The Best Gay Friend: Paul Dano

Every girl needs a best gay guy friend to let her know what's what.

♥ The Laid Back Boss: Jason Sudeikis

He'd be the type of boss everyone wants; laid back, pretty okay with everything you do as long as you weren't constantly late and didn't burn down the building or steal from him.

♥ The city: San Diego




Not many romantic comedies, at least that I've seen, take place in San Diego, but I would love to see it shown, since it's a beautiful city.
