Luann Bonus Material by Greg Evans for February 05, 2015

House

D. Apartment in city

House in suburbs.

e: Frank and Nancy’s basement

A

Realistically, it’d be in the burbs. But it’d be more fun seeing her contend with the life in a cabin in the woods.

A

a) House in the suburbs

A – house – not too far from the folks

Living in a suburb in Australia :P

a

D. Apartment in the City…. she and Ben marry, and she lands a job in a school district about 2 hours away from Pitt. This is close enough to allow a lot of visits and interactions, but allows the creation of a new “CITY” type atmosphere for Luann. As an ARTIST, she will be able to use the CITY as a muse and also be able to be in more gallery exhibits. As a Teacher, she can be a great teacher in the city.

Suburbs

Going with house in the suburbs…

House in the suburbs, especially if she’s a teacher (and that assumes that husband has a halfway decent income, since a teacher’s income isn’t buying a house in most places)

a. House in the suburbs.

House in the burbs

A. ) house in the suburbs

A

Apartment in a big City.

“a” She’s a down to earth, soccer mom.

If she marries Quill, I see her living in Oz half the year and in the family house (inherited from Mom and Dad) the other half.

she’ll definitely be in a.

D……..apartment, with roommate.

I think Luann would be in a house in the suburbs, although I would prefer the cabin in the woods!

D. She will be sharing an apartment in NYC with Margo and Tommie. Oh wait, that’s the other Lu Ann.

D: Apartment in the big city

D. Apartment for a change in scenery.

House in the suburbs.

house in the burbs

As a total contrarian, I vote for ‘e’, and suggest that she will live for a number of years in a Winnebago while traveling with an acting group that visits kids in hospitals…

D.

d, apartment. Gunther will be a designer, she’ll be a writer, they need to make a living somehow.

a . house

At the age of 43, definitely a house.

E. Same town but not at home

House in suburbs.

I’d say she spends her younger years in a city apartment, but by 43 definitely the house in the suburbs.

Either A or D

D – Apartment in a big city

Apartment in Hawaii

Apartment in a city if she’s in the US (home owning is becoming unaffordable in California, where I think she’d be) or possibly a house somewhere in Australia if she and Quill move back there.

House in the ’burbs.

Since Quill will also be in theater, they will opt for an apartment in the big city to be near the theater action.

D – because she’s a set designer (so maybe A, but more likely D)

E, because she has not yet met the man she will marry I say she will live in a nice house in a smaller city close to the one she lives in now.

House in same suburb as parents

Wherever it is, next door to her parents or Bernice

a. suburbs

e. She could travel abroad, and teach English in foreign countries!

Apartment in the city

I imagine Luann getting a degree as a graphics artist, marrying Quill and moving to Australia where they bounce around the continent (and occasionally to New Zealand and back to the USA).

Quill has a rather steady but not stellar acting career. He does bits in TV episodes, voice work, commercials, tertiary movie characters, movie stand-ins and rather frequently just misses out on getting “the” big break. He takes his mediocrity philosophically, living for the day, focusing on the people in his life. He has a few successful friends in the industry so he and Luann have an occasional glimpse into the reality behind the glitter. Tiffany ends up as a trophy wife of one of these contacts, so Luann has to continue to suffer her society. Gunther gets to work in the costume dept of a NZ movie workshop and through cultural research ends up meeting up with a more mature Rosa many years later.

Luann’s job is the more dependable paycheck. She has a work-from-anywhere job with an entertaining and sometimes frustrating hodge podge of various clients’ demands. There is often a humorous irony in what work she has to do when and where, considering they tend to travel as a family to various places where Quill can find work. Of course, that means they’re usually living out of a suitcase in low-rent temporary housing situations. However, this helps her to be exposed to a variety of situations that infuse her work with perspective. Sometimes her work puts her back in touch with childhood friends for a touch of their professional and personal perspective.

Luann is continually struck by how strange the Australians are, as well as the varied landscapes and animals they encounter as they be bop around. They have a nominal “home base” in Sydney, say, with a few indifferent relatives of Quill’s which Luann tries to get along with but never manages to ingratiate herself with.

Their Aussie-American older daughter takes after her father with cool, willowy good looks and has OZ in her blood. Her troubled adolescence tends to selfies and narcissism and cliques about which Quill is tolerant and Luann is out of her comfort zone. Entering adult life she is intent on a movie career, as she’s had some small child roles, but has a crush on a young man training to become an orthodontist, so she’s also looking into dental hygiene classes.

Their two younger sons have more of Luann’s ironic angst from a masculine point of view, though they differ in that one, the blond, is more dreamy/brainy/clumsy and the dark haired “baby” of the family is more revved up and spontaneous, acting out before he thinks. All three are challenged by USA strangeness when they go back to spend extended quality time with Grams and Gramps and Uncle Brad. “Aunt Bernice” offers a listening ear. Teenage girls stateside tend to have crushes on the two boys who encourage it by assuming Paul Hogan and Steve Irwin personas while Luann rolls her eyes. Luann goes through a bit of a middle aged crisis when people meeting Quill and their young adult daughter image the girl’s the actor’s arm candy while ignoring Luann, coming up behind with the luggage which is her carry-around work.

House

Apartment

Apartment in the City

D. Apartment in the big city

House in the burbs

A or D.

A. House

She will continue to live in the suburbs near her parents.

She is going to start in a house in the Suburbs near her parents and then move to be closer to her high end customers.

Cabin in the woods. Something creative yet cosy, with lots of space to raise her big family.

A

D.

E

House in the burbs. She teaches art & quill teaches drama. In the summers they run an art & drama camp where Shannon is a counselor & brad & Toni’s kids are campers.

Apartment in the city

d. apt big city

d

E. I’m thinking hip little house in a hip little city neighborhood.

I anticipate long years spent in various low-rent apartments in the not-very-nice parts of the city, with frequent intervals of sofa surfing with her more motivated friends. Luann’s skill set, plus her total inability to set priorities, means that she’ll have to be incredibly lucky to land just the right acting role, or have just one giant hit as a singer. Even if she did, she’d find a way to blow it all on some grand gesture, silly fling or idiotic gamble.

House in suburbs with several kids.

D.

I’d go for (E)- a combination of the two…or three… (an apartment in the suburbs, or a house in the city…either one could be just far enough away from all the “madness”, but close enough to make for some “comic worthy encounters”)

D. Apartment
