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?

Your response to who your Friends-esque group of sitcom six friends would be - 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.

OMG, NO, that's terrible. Though, kudos to you for referencing a Buffy episode that doesn't usually get a lot of love! (I thought it was a awesome ep myself).

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

Oh, you can absolutely count online friends!! Do it, bring it, give me your six!

Hmm, there would be me, the multilingual weirdo who's into a little bit of everything, the (hopefully temporarily, we're crossing fingers for good healing of injuries) disabled martial arts and weapons loving actress and writer who's really into Star Wars, the badass chick who hates Christmas because it's at the same time as her birthday and it pisses her off so instead of a Christmas card I send her a birthday card, the self-employed mommy of three who kicks ass, the dog training scientist who makes porny art and the cute little Italian boy who has a heart of gold and is my honorary little brother :-D

Omg, I just found this in my inbox and was like laughing so hard. I want to stick your friend group in an RV (motor home) and send them on a cross country trip while it all gets filmed reality tv style! I mean, I know this post was about sitcoms, but you all sound like a reality tv show in the making! Lol!
