who would you like to play you in the movie made about your life?

Sandra Bullock. Sharon Stone would be the runner up for the part. Now, let me just clear this up. Sharon is not the bad girl she poses to be in those racy movies. My friend met her in person and she is totally normal. Sandra, because she has a perky personality, wit, and occasional freak-outs.

religious affiliation (if any) (or attitude toward religion)

I'm a Christian. My parents are buddhists, but they gave me the freedom to choose what to believe in. Actually, I don't like to refer to Christianity as a religion. Believing in God should be a way of life. Religion is about doctrines and rituals; those things I don't think Christianity is.
