I figured I'd try this out again now that I've got his story hammered out! This is Scott Drummond, a native of Kenosha, Wisconsin who migrated to LA in '88 with his band Down to Day (sounds like the Goo Goo Dolls). In the name of sticking it out until the record labels came knocking, Scott moonlighted as a male model (in all his plaid-clad glory) until his band scraped together the funds to bang out a demo.
Despite his insistence that they cling to their indie roots, Down to Day only really got noticed after they were included on some Hollywood blockbuster soundtracks, so Scott spent a lot of the 90s lamenting the loss of his indie street cred while enjoying the spoils of going multi-platinum. By the early 2000s, he'd grown up enough to take himself a little less seriously; since then, he's gotten progressively more relaxed about being taken seriously in general and gets his kicks on playing around with the idea of being a rock star. Around 2006, right after the release of their last studio album, Down to Day opted to put themselves on hiatus into the foreseeable future.
These days, Scott's counting down to his fortieth birthday at the end of December and just sort of rolling with things as they come. Tentatively, Scott's been in ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) milton's The Fire Fund since around 2008ish (I think?) and has been learning how to take a backseat to someone else after twenty-plus years of being the front man. In terms of lines, he's kind of an open book - he's been running back and forth across the country for the last couple of decades, so there are ample opportunities for random meet-ups or whatever. If anyone needs anything filled, we can totally work something out there too!

| Nothing like some good ole law-making on Turkey Day! |
[26 Nov 2009|09:33pm] |
Want a chance to be more directly involved in the law-making process? Here's your chance. H.R. 1742 is a VERY short bill (so you can read it in one sitting) and is written pretty plainly. Feel free to take a look at it and give me your feedback. Agree with it? Disagree with it? Think there should be an amendment? I'm all ears for whatever you have to say.
Edit: THOMAS, as always, doesn't like to hold links. If the link isn't working for you, go here and type "H.R. 1742" into the search button (it should be set to Bill Number)

Hello everyone! This here is 30 year old Johanna Petty, with the face of Rachel McAdams and the photography credits of Rankin. This means that she's photographed some of the PBs here at ~rogerebert, specifically Mary-Kate Olsen, Ewan McGregor, Jude Law, Keira Knightley, Jake Gyllenhaal, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Emma Watson, and Rachel Weisz, so I'd love to talk to those people especially! I don't have too much figured out for her, but one connection I am aware of is that she is the ex-girlfriend/muse of jensenbellamy! Other than that, I was thinking that she'd be the daughter of a rather prominent socialite and an actor, who were both very sophisticated and fashion-conscious. Despite the fact that she's done a lot of fashion photography, she doesn't really care all that much for designer names and the like. Her only criteria for fashion is that you think you look good in what you're wearing, it doesn't matter if it's something you got at Wal-Mart or if it's a designer outfit created with you in mind. She's very private about what goes on in her life and she despises gossip so she rarely comments on it. I'm still in the process of getting her ready to apply, but I'd love to work out lines with all you lovely people, so don't be scared to throw any ideas you may have in my direction! Thanks for your time!

Hullo, everyone. Here I have Nola Sloane, a British biographer/photographer. She has the writing credits of Flora Fraser and Amanda Foreman, and the photography credits of Tim Walker, so she's in ur movies judging your costumes and she's in ur Vogues making Lily Cole look less terrifying than usual. She's 38 and lives in London but will be traveling pretty frequently to DC because she has family there. btrx is her best mate, as they're sort of twinny socialite types and went to school together, so subsequently she would know all of maclar's friends because she's forever hanging out at their place. She's divorced, she was married when she was very young, which was a big mistake, and she was known for being the wild one out of her and Beatrix. She's a snarky little knowitall who is willing to try anything once, and while she usually looks impeccable, she does occasionally get into scrapes where her Agent Provocateur panties are showing.
I need lines, specifically people who are into history (she basically only researches rich females with nice clothes in the 18th/19th centuries) and were attached to films she was consulted on (period films in general), and then people she's photographed. Tim Walker doesn't do a great deal of celebrity photography but if any of your PBs are models, we might be able to work something out. Friends, enemies, older people she can drink with and laugh at the silly children and then fall over and do something silly herself. Other people with college degrees. I'll take what I can get!

I'm bringing in this John Krasinski. He's a complete blank slate right now, I'm thinking that he'll be from Virginia, real all-American type, philanthropist, and a big Hokies fan. I want to keep his role on The Office the same, if possible, with a few movie roles that I haven't decided on yet. Yeah, pretty much a blank slate. So if you have any ideas for lines or anything, throw them at me, please.

Me again! I've decided on Ralph Fiennes, and I've got some credits. This here is Quentin Bailey. He's 48, from England, and a bit of a Daniel Day-Lewis type in the sense that he works entirely for himself, not for money; there are occasional gaps where he won't work at all, and then he might do three films in a row. Personality-wise, he's a pretty grounded, friendly, if not slightly shy chap; so British it hurts, very polite, level-headed, and approaches the Hollywood game somewhat with amusement. He understands that saying things such as 'I don't do the Hollywood thing' is ludicrous, but at the same time, prefers to sit back and watch. Basically, you won't see him falling out of bars, but he's more than happy to attend premieres and press events and the occasional party.
There's a list of tentative credits in the journal; I know some of the dates are wrong in game canon, but I really just copy and pasted from IMDb and will change dates as I figure him out more. If I've put some already taken credits in there, feel free to let me know; I checked ~roeper but it wouldn't surprise me if I've overlooked one or two.
I'd love to talk to co-stars, people he might've met on the Hollywood circuit, other British people, directors, writers, some potential friends - I haven't worked out too much about his background just yet so I'm more than willing to hear some ideas!

Since he really doesn't have many lines despite being here for ages (and is therefore getting a bit hard to play) I figured I'd beg you guys before giving up hope completely.
This is Greg Miers, a Representative to Congress from the 8th district of Massachusetts. He was brought up in Boston, went to school in Alabama (and then Law school at Duke) and has been working in Congress since '04. Technically, he's a Republican but he's been going against the grain lately by voting for things like healthcare while going against things like anti-abortion legislation. Non-work related...ly, his family is considered the NuevoKennedys so he's been in the media his entire life. He is also married to a GQ staff writer with whom he's getting a diorce but prior to his starting to date her in early '09, he had a bit of a work-hard-play-hard reputation and was spotted out at a lot of clubs/bars. He didn't really date anyone in the traditional sense (no sex! Gasp!) during that period, but I would love lines from then, either with people he went out with or people he used as his date to functions and stuff. Unfortuantely, I'm not particularly creative and can't think of lines outside of that, but I would love to hear any and all of your suggestions. So what do you say? Think you can help a guy out? (Insert puppy dog face here.)

Help needed! I already have a character here and I'm looking to bring in someone else. I'm leaning towards a male, and I'm thinking Robert Downey, Jr but I'm more than open to other suggestions (due to the kind of credits I'm looking at, he'd need to be around 45-50). I have very little else worked out so far, so I'm really just putting out feelers, see if anyone needs anything in particular or has any suggestions they'd like to see!

okay, so maybe it's a little bit early to start talking New Years, but, this idea just came to me so bear with my obsessive need to plan, alright?!
Anyway, I'm sure everyone knows that MTV does a big new year's show in time square with hosts and DJ's and musicial performances, and I got to thinking about it and was like 'hey, that would be a really cool thing for the Gossip Girl stars to host since they're sort of a pop culture symbol of NYC partying right now'.
So, my first question goes out to zignani, braidan, julietevans, shain, znder (& hopefully ivin if they apply!). Is this something you guys would be interested in having your kids host?
From there we'd need DJ's, I've already talked to zera and she is down, I think there's a couple DJ's out there, so maybe one more to trade off time spinning with her would be cool!
Lastly, musical performers! I know they only televise like 3, but, there can certainly be more to entertain the crowd! Also feel free to comment if you know your character would just want to attend, maybe be interviewed by the hosts!

new plan for secrets this round! First off, we're going to start posting them every Friday as opposed to when we have some certain number (don't worry, I'll still be posting harassing reminders to get you guys to drop them off).
Our first Friday will be this one, and in honor of Thanksgiving I thought we'd try a theme! Post about what or who you're thankful for, or just say something nice about someone! Only nice secrets will be posted this round, I think we could all stand a little love :)

I've been thinking about bringing in a Selma Blair Rachel McAdams PB as a celebrity photographer. She'd either have the photography claim of Rankin or Mark Seliger. So far, other than that all I have for her is that she'd be the ex-girlfriend of jensenbellamy. So if there's any other lines that you think she could fill or if you have any preference on which photographer she claims, let me know!

Really? You're really going to try and rip off a public official? And Really, you thought 'oh, hey, let's try and liquidate all his stocks, he won't notice'? Really?
