Felicity

I write alot about TV because I watch alot of it. Always have.

There's something about sitting down for a half or full hour and getting sucked in to other people's worlds. I don't have to stretch my attention for a long period of time like I do in movies; I can continue along the path of someone's life I started  the previous week or even season before. It's nice getting to know people that don't really exist. Good fictional characters have always felt like real people to me--sometimes more real than real people I know. They don't make you guess who they are or what their motives are. And they always tell you bad news in a way that doesn't make you want to lose it, like some real people do.

Felicity totes made me feel better about being myself. I'm convinced I came out of the womb a thoughtful, analytical, and sometimes dramatic human being. At 14, I didn't really know anyone who journaled everyday to remember the details or knew anyone who only had unrequited loves. Felicity was kind of like the friend I really wanted but didn't have (someone who was bat shit complicating like I was).

FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT "FELICITY"

My favorite thing about Felicity (besides her hair, and then her ballsiness to cut off the hair) was her tape recorder. That was her journal. How friggin cool is that?! She would sit on the floor next to her bed and talk to it, sending the final product to a long-time close friend.

Ben and Noel--I was, and still am, a total 'Ben' girl.

That guy and girl who worked at that coffee shop

That's some quality television right thurrr.
