05. 3.08 Byron Who?

Ok. So we need to talk. Now, we all know my sweet fondness towards Sex and the City, right? I'm sure you do. But, lately--and this is so tough to admit--something has been, um, sort of replacing that affection.

Stop booing.

Samantha, Who? Know it. Don't? Here:

But this isn't about how I have a new show that I am in love with. This is about how I want to be a t.v. character.

I know. I know. But the thing it is somehow I always identify with certain characters on television... and, um, usually they are...well... the main characters. You know, I thought I was Zack from Saved By the Bell when I was in middle school. Then it was Brandon Walsh from 90210(it was the cute hair and the writing thing that made me think I was him--my mother, thanks mom!, was so supportive with the whole buying me gallons of hair product to get my hair where I needed it) and then there was Felicity. Stop laughing. Then there was Dawson. Stop laughing. Then there was Carrie Bradshaw and now... it's Samantha on Samantha Who.

Let's pause here for a quick sec and discuss: What does this all mean?

Well, first it means I identify with stars. That's fun. Also, it means I like flashy people and like being flashy. But, what it's really about? The stories.

I like telling stories. I like writing stories. I like talking. I like listening. I like figuring things out. I'm a writer. It's what I do. It's what I live to do. And what it comes down to is the main character is always trying to figure something out while sharing their perspective. While you share your perspective you get to tell it the way you see it and feel it and know it. You get to set parts of life to music. You get to angle the camera just right so when you are doing that romantic first kiss scene, but in real life, you have lighting that makes you glow and you have shadows that make it ooze with charm. And when you're in the crying scene you get the chance to have multiple takes to perfect the sad bite lip that doesn't show insane... it shows true emotion.

And when you are a main character on t.v. you get share your story... because isn't that why we all watch t.v. and go to movies and read books and have friends and live... to share it all together?

Plus I think a television show named Byron Who? is just so damn endearing.

So - you gonna rename your blog Byron Who? I mean, you're the main character here! But perhaps enough people read this who know you in real life, that they'll know if you write something... embellished.
Maybe start a new fictional blog? Only no one would know it was fiction. You could be anyone!
