Who Would Play Me?

One of the most wonderful parts of being Catholic is being connected to other Catholics. I don't know if you've noticed this, but the Catholic world is very small. And religious life is an even smaller world within that world.

This is particularly helpful for example, if you need to find experts on a certain topic willing to write for the justice journal that you're responsible for finding writers for who are a) knowledgeable on a certain topic and b) willing to write under a tight deadline and c) write for free. Thanks to the wonders of the "nun network," I've been able to find some great writers for our upcoming issue!

Last week I also relied on my Catholic network to help spread the word about IPJC Justice Cafes ... a new program for young adults that I'm helping to get off the ground. Last Thursday I emailed a friend who emailed a member of his religious community and next thing you know .... I was just interviewed by Fr. Dave Dwyer on the Busted Halo Show on Sirius Radio.

The main purpose was to talk about how we hope to provide spaces with the Justice Cafes for young adults to build community, deepen spirituality, and act for justice. But we also talked about me and the blog and he asked the question of the day ....

IF (and it's a big if), my blog, like Julia & Julia, were to become a MOVIE, who would play me??

Really it's an opportunity for revisionist history. You could get someone who looks just like you. Or you could expand your horizons and your appearance (at least in people's cinegraphic memory). Or maybe we should make it a cartoon and I could look like my SouthPark-Me profile picture???

Thoughts? Suggestions?

And yes, in case you were wondering, I DID dress up for my radio interview. :)
