QOTD: Thursday
If you could be any character from a film/TV show, who would you pick and why?

"What is a week-end?"
I think I want to grow up to be Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights. She's beautiful, has a strong marriage, she's a great mom, she's successful, and she's not afraid to stand up for what is right.
The only downside, of course, is living in Texas with a bunch of people who think football is more important than life itself, but I still love her character.

Oooh, good choice. You'd also get to say, "Y'all" often and sound totally adorable doing so.
damn you. DAMN. YOU. here i was thinking i was all witty and going to post Lorelai. so i will take Rory.....b.c i would hae Lorelai as a mom, a trust fund and get to make out with Jess AND Logan (mmmmmmmmmm Logan). "this is how we do it at the Yale Daily News!)
the last episode for FNL was one of the best scripts for a female character. When Tami walked out of the restaurant when coach was going on and on about marriage being a partnership, i wanted to high five her.
and bc you'd have ME as your mom.
"What is a week-end?"
OMG, I'd love to have her hair, and to be able to pull off cowboy boots with dresses and skirts. And Kyle Chandler -- LOVE HIM.

That's a good question! So many of the characters I love (Liz Lemon, Bridget Jones) don't have lives I would actually want to live.
Off the top of my head, I think I'll go with Elle Woods. Not that I would want to be an attorney, but I would love to have that positive pink outlook on life, have everything always go my way and be married to Luke Wilson.
So many movies/shows to choose from! I think currently I'd like to be Alex Kerkovich from the show Happy Endings. She's quirky and owns a fashion boutique in Chicago.
Plus, IRL I have been known to make up songs that sound freakishly similar to this.
Claire Huxtable was also pretty awesome - successful lawyer, has a great marriage and family, smart and funny, and seems to "have it all."
perhaps aurelia from love actually because she ends up with colin firth? *swoon*
i could also go with hermione granger. smart, a little sassy, and i'd love to be able to clean my entire apartment with a swish and flick of a wand!
Tami: "I'm gonna say to you what you didn't have the grace to say to me. Congratulations."
Ohhhh! Buuuuuuuurn! I loved it too.

Love this question! I could probably chew on it for a week. But the first character that occurred to me is Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation. She believes in her work and wants everyone to enjoy their lives more. She's proud of who she is, her community, and what she does. Her enthusiasm for the events and projects she takes on is unmistakable - everything she does is over-the-top and SO much fun. And she's really grounded in herself - when people question her beliefs and enthusiasm she's unfazed and just carries on, no matter how dorky people insinuate she is.
So a) I'd love to be that sure of myself and what I'm doing, b) I'd be cracking up all day long because of my coworkers, and c) I'd enjoy the Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe) and Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott) eye candy.
My first thought was Lorelai, too! But only post-GG Lorelai, where presumably she's married to Luke, getting along with her parents, with a successful inn and they all live happily in Stars Hollow (right? their lives stayed just like that after the finale? because they're real people . . .?).
I like the Clair Huxtable idea. Maybe Mary from Downton Abbey (the dresses! the servants! the life of luxury!) if you forget all the pesky war/impotence issues.
But honestly no one has a life I would really pick because they're all too screwed up in one way or another and I don't need any drama.

i PPH ben wyatt. and i think you & otto have your halloween costume for next year!
Would you believe I tried? All I needed was a "Knope 2012" sticker - so easy! But Otto wanted to be Ron Swanson instead and, lacking burliness, couldn't figure out how to make it work.
