OK, this is totally Tolkien-unrelated, but it seemed relevant to the Periaur and I'm just damn curious (and I have a major exam soon, so I'm procrastinating).
The tenth series of "Friends" is about to end in the UK (on Friday in fact) and I wanted to know if it has had an impact on you. We are in the prime age group for viewing "Friends" and I'm sure many of us have followed the fortunes of Ross, Rachel (will they, won't they?!), Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey over the years. What do they mean to you? Do their lives mirror yours? Or has your life changed because of them? What will you do when it finishes (or what are you doing now that it has finished!!)?
Personally, I feel that "Friends" has defined a major part of my life. I've been watching it for about 6 or 7 years now, and every night that there's nothing on the TV, I sit and watch another couple of episodes on DVD. I've seen them all at least once, and my boyfriend and I quote them constantly. It's actually not as sad as it sounds, as it makes for a wonderful secret code when out in company. We can communicate in "Chandlerisms" and "Joeyisms" without anyone having a clue what we're talking about.
What am I going to do on Friday? Well, my life will go on but I'm sure gonna miss having an excuse to sit in on a Friday night with a bottle of wine and a new episode of "Friends".
