The Sitcom Six.

I saw one of those Tumblr posts like, "Why do TV shows have the one token gay character that is friends with a bunch of straight people, do you think we wouldn't have found other lgbtqa people to be friends with?" and I started thinking about myself.

Like if my life were a sitcom - (and that ain't a far stretch) - and we go with the sitcom standard of a group with six friends...it would be me a single bisexual woman, my bff also a single bisexual woman, a married gay man, my sister a single straight woman, a married straight woman and a married straight man (not married to each other though!). And that could make a fun sitcom. Accurate too that everyone in the social group does not have the same marital status. Unfortunately we are all white, so we could use a bit more diversity.

Idk why I'm thinking about this. I took a pain pill. For legit reasons, but I think it has me a little stoned. Well, to be fair, my brain is full of thoughts like this all the time, I just don't usually post about them. lol

What about you guys...who would your Friends-esque group of sitcom six be?

Enormous disabled single straight black dude, married white couple (he's a trucker, she's an accountant), divorced straight dude, twice-divorced millionaire bi-curious white female, formerly polyamorous married white couple with bi-curious wife. And that's seven. Heh. We're also originally from New York (upstate Rochester suburbs), suburban Tennessee, rural Kentucky, big city California, and a mob-run New Jersey town.

Those second parts tend to make things more interesting, TBH.

In response to who your Friends-esque sitcom six group of friends would be...Enormous disabled single straight black dude, married white couple (he's a trucker, she's an accountant), divorced straight dude, twice-divorced millionaire bi-curious white female, formerly polyamorous married white couple with bi-curious wife. And that's seven. Heh. We're also originally from New York (upstate Rochester suburbs), suburban Tennessee, rural Kentucky, big city California, and a mob-run New Jersey town.

I WANT TO MAKE A TV SHOW ABOUT YOU PEOPLE! Like a dramaedy. I mean...twice-divorced millionaire bi-curious white female - that's a TV show right there! No, really, this is a story in the making. If I were writing it though, the person from the mob-run town would have moved to TN to get away from some debts they owed the mob or some job they skipped out on doing for the mob. That could lead to hilarity. Also the trucker and the accountant? That's a 30 min sitcom if I ever heard one. Damn, now I REALLY want to come visit you, even more than I already did!!

It could be pretty funny - maybe I need to write comedy romance instead of fanbased porn! :D
