_Friends

I never realized until tonight how much the tv show Friends has become a part of my life. It probably sounds rediculous that I could love a show this much but for any true Friends fan, I think they'd understand. The show started 10 years ago, right when I was starting my freshman year in college. I used to watch it in my dorm room. So much has changed in my life since then and so much has changed in the lives of the characters on the show. They were never just characters to me, they are people I know and can relate to.
Right now I'm feeling a profound sense of loss. The kind when you move on in your life and take the next big leap into something else. How I felt when I graduated high school.
I know that I can buy the dvds and watch the shows over and over. I can't stand repetition but I can watch almost all of the Friends episodes and never get sick of them. It's only been ten years but it seems like forever. I've laughed with them, I've cried with them, I've sat through the whole "Will they or won't they?" with Ross and Rachel...and you know what? I never got sick of the theme song, ever.
Like I said before, it's probably rediculous to people who don't love the show like I do, who can't relate to the characters (no jokes about not having a job Snaffie) but it's one of those things that is so good you don't want it to end, you can't imagine it ending...and now it has. It's been a crazy ten years, not just in my life but in the world as I knew it, as we knew it. Lots of amazing and horrific things have happened and week after week Friends was there. I'm getting sappy so I'll cut this short but I am quite surprised that I'm feeling so sad, such a terrible loss, over a show. This isn't just the end of a show, it's the end of an era.
/P who might regret getting so emotional tomorrow but is contemplative tonight Crying or Very sad
