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.

I've always joked that my family would make a good sitcom. Mostly because my dad is quite the character. But if it were friends, I still have three great college friends, all female, one in a serious relationship with a stepson. Three others single. It'd be the anti-Sex and the City because none of us date with any regularity and we're more into pjs and wine than style and appletinis.

I'm an anti-social introverted hermit so instead of sitcom six I would be Buffy from the episode where she wakes up in a mental hospital realizing/people telling her that her friends are imaginary and that she's crazy.

Unless online friends count, then it gets interesting :-D
