Assignment 22: Grace Goulson

I love the show Friends. One of my all-time favorites. And I love Phoebe Buffay-- so much. And she's who I'd want to be if I could be a fictional character. She's so quirky and so weird and funny without even trying to be. She has a big heart and has a unique relationship with animals. (See "The One with the Cat" where Phoebe thinks a cat she found on the street really is her dead mother reincarnated.) Phoebe is the odd one out of the six, because she is the newest one to the group. She finally finds true love in Mike, played by Paul Rudd, which makes me very happy. Phoebe has been through so much tragedy in her life (her father leaving, her mother committing suicide, her having to live on the streets), but she is still so optimistic. Some may consider her stupid and naive (and she has her moments) but she can also be very wise, insightful, and even witty. She loves all of her friends so much and she really lives life. I want to be that kind of person.
