I fall in love with things pretty easily. Books, music, tv, movies, people, artforms, history, science, poetry, everthing.

But oh man is this show brilliant. It is definitely my favorite.

And really, it’s easy to tell why, I mean, I love glee like crazy, and what it stands for and the type of characters and issues they’re showing on like, popular tv, it’s awesome. But I mean, I’m not in the show, there’s no one there who I can say, that’s how I feel and what I act like and what I could plausibly be like some day.

Maybe in some ways I am more clueless and less clueless than Jess, and I’ve been thinking more and more about teaching high school, rather than middle school, and hopefully I won’t ever fall for someone just because of their hair, but I mean pretty much other than that she’s the closest character to myself I’ve ever seen in tv or movie. I mean, I wish I could say it was Hermione Granger, but what smart girl doesn’t wish that, and I don’t think she embodies me quite as much. And with books there are many characters I relate too and see parts of myselves in, I would have to sift through a lot of memories to see if there’s a clearer vision of me in there somewhere.

But New Girl, wow, it just makes me so happy. My quirky, whimsical, hopeful inner workings are remarkably Jess-like. Maybe that’s why it makes me so happy to watch it. She influences lives the same way I try to.

I could blather on forever about this, so this is it.
