Right Back Where We Started From

Alright, well it is time to admit one of our guilty pleasures. Teen dramas. From Dawson’s Creek to Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill to our newest find, The O.C., we seriously eat them up. How could you not?

Thanks to TV on DVD (one of the greatest inventions in the world, even better than precooked bacon or the Chia Pet…but not better than The Clapper. That thing is awesome.) we are able to have all 27 episodes of the first season of The O.C.

And I have come to realize that my life really is The O.C.

Okay, okay. I know you are all laughing at this point. Thinking I am over dramatic, as usual. But I am serious. Somehow, I think all the drama of a YSA ward could make a darn good series. Heck, I would watch it.

The making of a teen drama has the following groups of people:

1. The couple. Just their story alone would make a great TV show. They are perfect for each other, well except the fact that his best friend hates the girlfriend, and well, she is in love with someone else. But other than that, it is great. Will they stay together? Stay tuned.

2. The best friends. They have all the same interests. Love the same movies, books and their music collection is identical. The finish each other’s sentences, and spend every waking minute together, so why aren’t they dating? Oh that’s right, because of character #3.

3. The other corner. What good show is complete without a love triangle? Heck, what group in life is complete with a nice trifecta? This time old story never really seems to be boring. The other corner is the girl that he has loved forever and never really given up hope for. But what about the best friend? She is just so perfect. Who is this poor guy going to choose? But we all know how this one usually ends, him dating some outside girl that comes out of nowhere. Leaving the rest of the triangle confused and usually plotting revenge. Good luck.

4. Lastly, The Fringe (Besides being an awesome name for a band, my favourite characters.) The Fringe just shows up for the occasional funny story or crazy plot line. Maybe one of them is a stalker, but others might rap into a cup. Usually a good story follows the Fringe wherever they go.

Throw in a theme song that is stuck in your head all day, some eye candy for guys and girls and you have a hit show on your hands, or else just day to day life.

Here’s to:

AMA—kinda like going to the emergency room, it is never for me. So my friends should really thank my parents for renewing my membership every year.

The Bank Guy—Yup, you are a bit of a nerd, but still fun to talk to. Stop asking me out on quasi dates though.

One More Try---After this, I promise it is really over. So good luck.
