it's nothing personal
Twin!Tara got me thinking about my characters' personalities and which of my traits (if any) they've each inherited. So, here we go. Please feel free to do this for yourself!
HARRISON;
Silliness, hyperness, enthusiasm for life, chipper friendliness, randomness, a lot of my more antsy, worried qualities. He is the most optimistic, upbeat of my charries and he's also one of the easiest to call upon. :)
TONIA;
Thoughtful, questioning, introspective, slightly cynical without being a pessimist, passionate even though she has yet to reach her full potential. There's a lot of frustration inside of her that I feel like I share. She always wishes that she could achieve more.
MITCH;
Bucket of nerves!, self-conscious, shy, cowardly. Any time I feel scared, I harness it and use it to write for him.
DALTON;
I realize this is a contradiction within myself, but sometimes I do feel like I am awesome. And, in those brief periods, I feel like Dalton. Cool, inspiring, thought-provoking, talented, attractive. And then the Mitch and the Jon parts of me snap me back out of it. XD The Dalton inside me only sees the light of day for maybe five seconds at a time.
LUCKY;
Obsessiveness. OMG, obsessiveness. The fascination with celebrities and their birthdays. The big kid qualities that make him tick. :)
ERNIE;
Well, Virginian. ;) I also am a bit old fashioned when it comes to ideas of how relationships should be. And I've always thought it would be cool to be a magician.
JINJU;
Her flightiness and ADD aspects. Totally me. XD I flit around from thing to thing without really pausing to think about things. You should see me in a 24-hour period. You'd laugh.
APRIL;
A lot of the negativity towards her parents is inspired by some of the negative aspects of my relationship with my mom, but it's exaggerated, of course. Also, her recent reproductive issues are something from my own life.
LARS;
She's the writer within me. The one who really wants to knuckle down and get things done, and gets frustrated when she can't. She's full of ideas that she has yet to even write down, like me.
GRANT;
The obsession with last words (thanks a lot, John Green). He's sort of a persona whose persona has invaded me, more or less. But the pediatric oncology is a career that I would have taken on if I had been better at science. XD I love children and I love the idea of being able to help them get better during such a horrible medical ordeal.
JON;
Another persona that has invaded me, however this complete character has become my persona. :O The self-deprication, awkward, selfless, listening, supporting, innocent, loyal, protective parts of me live in him. So, he's basically 75% me. The cuddliness and playfulness is also me. AND THE TIME OBSESSION. OMG. He's like a lovechild between me, Owen and Ozymandias. Hahahaha.

"probably wouldn't have made any difference, though"
Jon Aldrige is most like this Owen Wilson character:
And that scene makes me go ;____; all over the place

"I just want to be brothers again, like we used to be"
I just went on YouTube to find a video of Luke Wilson and see if he really does have an overbite (he totally does - it's adorable!)... Then it turned into me searching for videos of him and Owen and I know I copied one of the embed codes for the videos I found, but I have no idea which one.
So let's see. Totally random video-- GO!
Someone needs to play him as a younger Aldrige brother!!
(I really hope that doesn't turn out to be a funny cat video. Then I'll feel like an idiot.)

To Do List Of Things To Do...
Redundancy is redundant.
1. Tonia/Gus thread. I feel like the ball is still in the air with that one.
2. Lucy/Lucky thread. Purchasing presents and escorting back home.
3. Steph/Dalton thread. CAKE!
4. Steph/Jon/Emily/Clive thread? That needs to get off the ground.
5. ADDED Lars/Will thread! Duh!
6. Entries from various people! Comments to various people! Ahhh! Got any requests or ideas? Make them known!
7. I'm tempted (read: really really ridiculously tempted) to write excerpts from Jon's book(s) and post them in OB. But we'll see cos... I lack experience in the topics. But that makes it MORE fun.
8. My ear is making drum noises. o_o ...That's not something to do, that's just. Maybe it's the physical sound of my thoughts flying around and ricocheting off the walls of my brain?

Since I can't post this on Harrison's journal until FT closes its virtual doors, I will post a detailed description of his restaurant here, for your information. :D Things are subject to change as new ideas develop and I'm definitely open to suggestions. ♥~
