five things I learned from watching Dawson’s Creek:
1) Apparently fifteen-year-olds from New England have more expansive vocabularies than most college graduates.
2) If you cheat on your husband, then he will inevitably die in a car crash. Yes, it will be because you cheated.
3) Girls from New York move fast.
4) Dawson Leery (and, by extension, James Van Der Beek) is a putz.
5) and most importantly: I am sucked in by teen dramas that are riddled with cliches and inaccurate suggestions about how life really works.

    2. 2) They must have borrowed this convention from Greek Tragedy. All heroes have a sin that ultimately brings about their demise. Though, I’m not sure how “heroic” these women are/were in the show. Meh…

    4) James Van Der Beek is aptly named because he looks like a bird. (and not even a cute bird.)

    5) Real and typical teenagers DO actually riddle their lives with cliches and inaccurate suggestions of life should work. I teach their deluded little minds everyday. You and I were not the norm. And sooo… watch away… I don’t judge you at all.

    3. Regarding #2, more insightful words have never been spoken.

    4. Dawn, I love your blog. I am going to try that shampoo, and I am going to read every entry you have. I also love the picture of you and Kirby. I am with Jill on this one about the cliched and deluded minds of teens. Bless their hearts. On the same note (and slightly counter-productive, etc), I have just begun watching the Vampire Diaries. It is chock full of this stuff. Alas, I can’t help myself.

Tell me what you're thinking...
