My TV Friends

I get really attached. When I cry during a show, it's not just because it's emotional. It's because whatever emotional thing is happening is happening to my friends. No, I'm not a loser who just sits around and watches TV all the time, but I do get very attached to my friends there, whether they be in Seattle, Scranton, or on a remote island in the South Pacific.

Proof of my attachment:

• Last night Beth called me crying when Grey's went off & made me promise to call her at work today when I watched it. I did. We mourned together.
• At one point today, I was simultaneously texting Caitlin & Sara about our TV friends. Caitlin about how George would've stepped in front of that bus again if he had it to do over just because that's the kind of man he is. Sara about how she's marrying Steve Carrell & I'm marrying John Krasinski & we're going to be each others' children's godparents. Yes, we actually had that conversation.
• I was actually a little miffed with Ben when he didn't watch Lost when he told me he would. So last night I made him come in my room & watch it, knowing I'd fall asleep...I just needed to make sure he watched it so we could discuss it (he has all kinds of smart-person theories).
• When I watched Lost the other night, I sat holed up in my room in the dark while Case was downstairs watching The Little Rascals. I went down in every commercial to discuss it with her & she listened even though she didn't understand &/or care. That's true friendship.
• I've called/texted Case at least 3 times today to see if she's watched The Office yet.

So...to my friends:
Dear George, I'm really going to miss you. I'm proud of you though. First because you weren't leaving Seattle because it was easy, but because you truly felt that you would be a good trauma surgeon & could help in Iraq. And I know you would've been great. They don't know it, but a lot of soldiers missed out on the chance of working with such an honorable man. And that woman you saved...she'll remember you for the rest of her life. I know you would do it again in a heartbeat.

Dear Izzie, I'm really hoping you pull through this...but not really expecting you to. I'm so glad you believed in Alex even when no one else did. Even for the little while that you've been together, you have changed him & brought out the best in him. You've worked hard all your life to become a doctor, & a very good one, at that. You'll be greatly missed at Seattle Grace.

Dear Jim & Pam, Congratulations! I can't wait to meet Baby Halpert! You two are so great together & will be such great parents. And this kid will be cuuuute. Jim, when you teared up in the hall, that was about the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Now hurry up & get married already!

Dear Sawyer, You couldn't have made me happier. You've finally let yourself love someone. You've been so good to Juliette. I know you're sad right now, & it just breaks my heart, but since Juliette made the bomb go off, hopefully things will go back to the way they were before Oceanic 316 crashed. I know that means you won't have met Juliette, but I think somehow you'll remember her & will find your way to her. I have faith that you can do that.
Dear Charlie, I've missed you so much since you died trying to save everyone else. I hope that since Juliette made the bomb go off, you'll come back. Claire & Aaron need you. You clearly love Claire & would be a great dad to Aaron. I'm holding out hope for you.
