just like "Friends"

We've just worked out that Alison's life is straight out of a Warner Bros TV show ("Friends", in case you haven't read the title of this post).

There are some minor cultural differences, like inner city terrace houses instead of New York apartments, and a higher girl:boy ratio, but the basics are there. I present the facts to you:

1. Three of her friends are already living in a terrace house in the inner city (the "Monica and Rachel" household) where most of the group gatherings have been hosted lately.

2. She is about to move in with two other people from her social group (the "Joey and Chandler" household) which will become a secondary venue for group gatherings

3. Her group features a "Ross and Rachel" style on-again, off-again couple

4. Two of the group are brother and sister (I'm awed they still talk to each other; I think if I spent that much time around my brother we'd probably disown each other in a few months)

5. There is no shortage of shrill people who fit the Monica bill

6. They're all twentysomethings afraid to break out of the codependence phase

The more we thought about it, the more pieces of the puzzle fell into place. Some of the people might be a tad offended at which character they've been labelled with, so that remains a secret for now.

If my life had to resemble a TV show, I'd definitely want the O.C: the attractive, brooding, heart-of-gold boyfriend from the wrong side of the tracks; the society parties; the wardrobes; the mansions AND, of course, the Cohen family (Go Seth! Go Kirsten and Sandy! Best TV Family Ever!)
