The Start of Something: Derek and O.C. Seth

Don't be alarmed by the subject title. Really. Just bear with me for a while.

Just winding down from a pretty good weekend of castles (saw three in one day) and the largest wine festival in the world. Although the highlight came this afternoon when I scored some Ben and Jerry's Phish Food for $1.89 at the grocery store. It's really the best thing to come out of Vermont. Well, only thing really.

But enough about me. Let's clear up that subject line and focus more on fictional TV characters and their fictional resemblences to my friends.

Since 5,000 miles kind of limits interaction with my CRU friends, I like to assign TV characters to them. This makes the time go by and relieves loneliness. And is just pretty absurd in general. But desperate times...

So this week, I'm gonna try to post one of my matchings every day. I'll put some commonalities, some contrasts--you get the idea.

I'm not gonna promise anything close to reality, but I will promise to show what goes on in my head. Note to self: That last sentence is pretty revealing.

Match #1: Derek and Seth

Similar:

-Both listen to Death Cab
-Self depcrecating humor
-Good looking in a non-threatening way
-Talk a lot
-Good to be around

Different:

-Summer
-Comic books

(I love this show. Once, I made fun of A for her obsession, but now I'm hooked like a fish. And I am absolutely Ryan when I watch it, which makes Derek and I Cavalier and Clay, twice removed)

Ryan- The pool house is so empty without you. Seriously... I feel like Germany is like Chino and that you need to come back to the OC.. I mean San Marcos so that we can complete our adventures like making a comic book (I'm so in an art class now) and dealing with ridiculous girl Drama that is not limited to but could include people turning into Lesbians, dating a girl and finding out shes your Sister, and secretly obsessing over a girl by drawing countless amounts of drawings of her. I'm looking foward to seeing who Summer turns out to be- and will we get an Anna too? Just remember both are/where crazy about me.

See you at Chistmaucha,

Seth

Can I have a TV character? And can I not be Daria? That comparison has been made before and I kind of hate it. But any one else would be fine. Even if it's a man. thanx.

luv,

My-kull,
Remember that time we were walking to Jones and I was shivering, and we later checked the weather and it was some ridiculous temp.. like 82 degrees or something. Hahaha... I had a similar experience today and I thought of that day. I think you wrote a blog about it, but I'm too lazy to go back and find it.
That's all
Knee-key

Omg, I'm out of control... but one more. Read August 30... That's a classic. I miss those days! Ok im done.. and I should probably save these comments for email, so the whole blogging world doesn't have to read this.

I heart Der Bear. I'd totally hang out with him and Captain Oats.

Mar Mar, same thing.

Jess, you got it. Daria never sat well with me anyhow. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
