Make Me Laugh, Make Me Cry

I recently acquired all 7 seasons of Boy Meets World. Remember that show? I know you remember Topanga. Nobody forgets a name like Topanga, come on. From a time when TV for kids was smart without compromising the FUN. Most of the credit goes to the (imho) genius writers, but without the perfect cast? It wouldn't have all come together as flawlessly as it did.

As the work I need to finish calls out to me in a voice I imagine to be filled with agony and desperation, I promptly ignore it to embark on a Boy Meets World Marathon. Sure, I'll regret it. But not a lot.

Because as a TV addict, you have to know exactly what to watch to make you feel better. So right now, smack-dab in the middle of Fall TV season- the TV addict's heaven- I feel the need to put all my shows on the back burner while I finish watching Boy Meets World.

....well, I have to watch Doctor Who. Mostly because it's awesome and I can't ever leave it alone. But also because it's ending while most are starting (finale's next week. BOO.)

But back to Boy Meets World.

Cory and the gang. This show. These characters. GAHHHHHHHH.

Maybe it's being able to watch them grow from being little kids to young adults. Watching these characters live. Watch them laugh, watch them cry. Watch them being harassed by Mr. Feeny, only to find out he was helping them make the right decision.

I don't know if it's just me being emotionally unstable right now, but watching Cory and Topanga's love bloom? Oh man. In addition to making me feel extremely, intensely, severely FOREVER ALONE-ish...it also causes my heart a lot of pain. Because it makes you wonder if such a love exists in reality.

Or if I'll ever be lucky enough to have even a little bit of that action.

But mostly because you get to actually see the characters go from this

to this.

I mean, COME ON. If you didn't go "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" at that, you are a heartless, heartless person. Dead on the inside. Empty, I tell ya, EMPTY!

Cory+Topanga 4EVA.

And may we all find our own Cory/Topanga.
