Like Chandler and Monica, we needed something that was just ours. I hope you can forgive me for sitting on this one for so long? To be honest it’s been almost as long since we found out about we're going to be parents as Chandler and Monica have been together. I wonder if any of my other Real Live Friends have done this? But making a “home movie” together? I only know one person who’s admitted to that, who will remain anonymous, but earned A LOT of Joey points after offering to show me theirs if I made one with someone. And, it’s charmingly retro seeing Monica’s is a Polaroid™. It’s so easy now I’m sure we ALL do that. Now, I get the “giving sexy pictures” thing. Appearing like a pervert to cover for Mondler’s sexual exploration. I’ve said it before but Joey is a damn good friend. Their flagrant sexual behaviour is spiralling out of control and Joey keeps taking the fall. And this episode (despite the Ross sandwich stuff we ALL remember) deals largely with the increasing difficulty of keeping Chanica a secret. Yep, like Joey, I’m sick of keeping secrets. What I’m trying to say is… we’ve got a new thing to be thankful for. The impact it has on them is barely touched upon. We are not shown the reality of their family life. I am truly thankful that hasn’t happened to me.īut still, no matter how many coincidences happen, my identity being stolen, the dog episode, my half-brother, with each passing season my life gets less and less like the Friends™. I suppose it’s a reminder the castles we build ourselves are only made of glass, and, like Ross, we could lose it at any time. “Moving forward”.īut, despite having their shit together career wise, the Friends™ are either in the early days of a relationship (Chandler, Monica, and Rachel) or single still (the other three). Most of my Real Live Friends, if not completely set-up, are at least in long term relationships. It’s peculiar though, most of the silly little markers of “success” that society judges us by, the house, the pets, a long-term partner, aren’t in place for the Friends™ yet. The Friends™, too, are more comfortable with themselves now they’re in their 30s (with the exception of Ross…). My wife, house, cats, even job! Everything's falling in place. After the one with all the Thanksgivings, I’ve been thinking about what I’m thankful for.
