Why do I do this to myself?

[apocalypsos]

I'm falling in love with a secondary character in The Hollow Girl. Oh, man. (This is not as bad as it sounds, since when I fall in love with a character I inevitably set about dicking over their entire life to see how much shit they can handle. And death is always an option. I'm MEAN. ;))

I need to come up with a visual base for a soccer-mom type of woman who's secretly a badass. I'm leaning towards Felicity Huffman right now, but I'm not entirely liking it. Even though I adore her. The same with Allison Janney. Kiiiiinda right, but not quite. Maybe Frances McDormand? Hmm. *ponders*

Also, I need to keep the hell away from Mod Cloth. All it's doing is making me want to spend ridiculous amounts of money I don't have on dresses I don't have anywhere to wear.

I'm not sure she's very "soccer mom" but I'm pretty partial to Carla Gugino.

I tried looking at some shows like Everwood and maybe the chick who plays Nina on that would work. I dunno.

What about Kate Walsh?

I could see her kicking ass and making sandwiches. :P

This is true.

I am, however, captivated by your icon. Oh, God, Catherine Tate totally fits. YAY. \o/

What about Viginia Madsen?

Then she could have a badassed big brother who is Michael Madsen, and he could cut off a cop's ear during a bank heist gone wrong (and also maybe be a werewolf).

Haven't you seen The Long Kiss Goodnight? Geena Davis is your basic supportive stay-at-home mom who's secretly a badass in that one. And she does it really well.

I love that movie. But she doesn't fit the character, so ... *shrugs*
