My Ten New Best Friends

Will’s very entertaining. For example, he always talks about how in Big Brother 2, there would be banner planes above the house, and in Big Brother All-Stars there aren't. And, apparently, banner planes are very interesting. So, he tells the live feed viewers to send banner planes and starts giving out the house address. Yeah, Big Brother wasn’t too happy about that – but it did give me a nice smile.

Nicole (Alexa Nikolas) of Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101Nicole is the character who is very boy-crazy and preppy. The reason I put her on my top ten list is because of how I think she would be easy to go to for guy advice. Only one of my friends – Julie – and I can talk about guys and the rest of them kind of stand there, blinking at us. Nicole is the kind of person I could see having sleepovers with. Also, like her, I am very hyper and optimistic. I have a lot of pessimistic friends (actually the only real optimist is, again, Julie) so their pessimistic ways get on my nerves some days. Therefore, I think Nicole would be a great addition to our group, for my sanity and Julie’s, too.

Robbie (Nathan Stephenson) of the unknown Canadian show, Radio Free Roscoe: First of all, Radio Free Roscoe is a show that was cancelled about a year ago. It used to appear on The N, an MTV-like network. The show was about four teenagers who just started their freshman year in high school. Tired of being nameless, they created their own underground radio station (Radio Free Roscoe), so they could say what they wanted, as loud as they want. Robbie was A LOT like me. Both of us have a strong passion, which we pursue, to find our voice. For Robbie, it’s his radio station. He was the one who went to all of his friends and started it. For me, it’s my writing. When I am upset or pleased with a show, I write here. I really respect his character and would value him as a friend.

Stewie (Voice of Seth MacFarlane) on the beloved Family Guy: I think everyone at one point in time wanted to be friends with a talking baby who plots to take over the world. Because, let’s face it, that’s just awesome. Enough said.

Jack (Matthew Fox) of dramatic Lost: I just watched the pilot of Lost again the other day. I kept noticing that right from the beginning, Jack was the heroic, brave leader on the island. Instead of thinking of himself, he goes to help Claire, the pregnant lady who can’t help herself after the crash. He is the one who becomes the unofficial leader in the camp. People are constantly asking him what to do. I think why I picked him is because I strive to be like him. I would love for him to be a leader role model for me. However, I would not be willing to go the island and take first-hand lessons – (shudder) – he’d have to come to California.

Your Lucy tribute was right touching and sweet.

Nice article how I love Stewie, he is to Family Guy as Fez is to That 70's show. Referring to your author bio, I completely agree. I hate it when English teachers, or any teacher for that matter tries to change your style of writing. Who are they to say I must use proper grammar. I don't hear them talking as if they were a member of 14th century England when English was truly spoken correctly.
