LOL. No, but maybe I should just to play audio clips. It's high art when they pull some obscure clip at just the right moment. They do that a lot on sports radio, they'll play a clip from a show or from a politician when someone says something. Imagine if you could walk around in real life and pull clips like that when someone says something! If I made a sitcom of my life, it would have to include that superpower.

"Gary Coleman" does not lend itself to the Lifetime made for tv movie drama that I have in mind. Shape up or you're off the project.

:lol_roll:

I am sure there is some way such a superpower could be developed. Especially in a sitcom format! haha

Alright, here's a rough sketch of the show:

Characters: No steady characters. People I meet about in the course of the day.

Plot: I go about my day, and make witty choices on when and which clips to pull.

Theme song: The theme from "Punky Brewster." As a matter of fact, I want to be played by Henry Warnimont.

(I so thought you were going to say you wanted to be played by Soleil Moon Frye)

:D:

That's awesome!!



Since we are picking who will play us I want to be played by Drew Barrymore, even though she is mainly a silver-screener. But I think she is the closest approximation.

[size=5][b]My Life[/b][/size]

[b]Genre: Satire/Drama/Comedy[/b] (define that!)

[b]Synopsis:[/b]
Nerdy highschooler who actually likes being nerdy (nerdy: reads Russian lit, philosophy, thinks theory of relativity interesting, etc) has an interesting but calm existence working at the library (where every fellow worker is brilliantly eccentric, fist fights occur over computers, workers have to call the ambulance for people who have heart attacks in bathrooms), hanging out with similarly nerdy (or not so much so) friends, procrastinating, and applying to colleges. Until....(insert melodramatic music) Relations become involved. (Relations: Two sides of the family, very different, equally disfunctional, both with very interesting dynamics) Side 2 comes to visit from New York. Side 2 is very big (20+ people = the more immediate relatives). Side 2 has a very interesting history (1 great uncle is still the mystery boy of Syracuse, discussion of whether or not to admit his existence is a source of much drama; another uncle was responsible for taking down the Mafia-paid mayor; etc); Side 2 has very interesting habits (obsession with Irish heritage, ability to create spur of the moment catastrophes out of almost nothing, a tendency to argue constantly about philosophy). Side 2 and Side 1 are almost polar opposites. They clash. Nerdy highschooler and immediate family are caught in the middle. Chaos ensues.

Wow... what can you even add?
