Did
you know that yesterday was Friends Day?
(Well,
at least it was on Facebook, anyway.)
Beginning
yesterday, people who logged onto Facebook could get a Friends video made of
themselves based on the content that you have posted onto your wall, and content
that your friends have posted to your content.
It's a really cool idea, and I have to admit that it was a really nice
idea. Some of the memories it picked I
remember very fondly, and it's nice to know that I do have a support system in
my life. I never always felt that way,
you know.
So,
in celebration of Friends Day, I thought that I would dedicate this post to
some of the famous friends that have graced our film, television, and video
game screens over the years.
It's
not necessarily a Top 10 list or anything like that. Instead, think of it as a template for what we all wish our
friendships could be like.
Ready? Here we go.
Let's start off with a pair of friends who are about to make a comeback
on Netflix.
D.J. TANNER and KIMMY GIBBLER
These
two have been friends since Kimmy's family moved next door to the Tanner
household. And from the moment they
met, they've been inseparable. I
imagine that Kimmy was there for D.J. when her mother passed away, and over the
eight seasons of "Full House" that aired, D.J. and Kimmy grew up
having each other's back. As we get
prepared for "Fuller House" and Kimmy moving in with D.J. to help
raise her children, I'm sure we'll see more of that friendship in action.
THE FRIENDS of "FRIENDS"
Chandler. Rachel.
Ross. Phoebe. Joey.
Monica. Six people all in their
twenties living the good life in the heart of New York City. And you know what? I don't think that their experiences wouldn't have been nearly as
much fun had they not experienced them together. From spying on the ugly naked guy to testing the waters
romantically, no matter what situation they faced or whoever cancelled their
wedding, they would remain friends forever.
Really, I wish I had five people in my life like that during my
twenties.
THE SAVED BY THE BELL CREW
Under
normal circumstances, these six people probably would never hang out
together. You had the brainiac, the
girl next door, the fashionista, the jock, the geek, and the schemer. And somehow Jessie, Kelly, Lisa, Slater,
Screech, and Zack found a way to stay...you know it's coming...FRIENDS
FOREVER!!!
Seriously, these six teens
basically defined friendship for a generation of people, and I only wish my own
experiences in high school were like this.
Alas, Bayside High is only a fictional place...and my high school
principal wasn't nearly as cool as Mr. Belding was. Take that statement as you like.
TEMPERANCE BRENNAN and ANGELA MONTENEGRO
There
are quite a few friendships that have developed on the television series
"Bones", but the one between Brennan and Angela definitely is the
longest - even longer than Brennan and Angela's relationships with their
husbands. Sure, at first glance, they
couldn't be any more different.
Temperance relies on logic and science, while Angela is a free
spirit. But sometimes when it comes to
opposites, they tend to attract and I don't mean romantically either. I have friends who are a complete 180 from
who I am, and I have to say that they are the ones who I think would be there
for me the most.
THE ARCHIES
You
know, sometimes it felt as though you had several separate groups of friends in
this fivesome. Archie and Jughead were
best friends. Betty and Veronica were
best frenemies. Reggie was just
Reggie. But these five made beautiful
music together as the Archies, and over time, these five did everything
together. Sure, they may not always get
along (see Archie and Reggie for example), but there's definitely a connection
there.
HARRY POTTER, RON WEASELY, and HERMIONE
GRANGER
You
thought that I'd leave these three students of Hogwarts out of this post? Think again. There is absolutely nothing that these three won't do for each
other. The first time they met aboard
the Hogwarts Express, we knew that these three would become friends for life. And certainly in between that first meeting
and slaying Voldemort once and for all, they bonded over spell casting,
Quidditch matches, and the Wizard's Cup tournament!
I'm
also certain that Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson feel that way
about each other in the real world as well as the characters they played in the
film series.
SPYRO and SPARX
Remember
the Spyro the Dragon series of games before Spyro sold out and became a
Skylander? Remember how much fun they
were? Well, part of the reason why is
because of the wonderful friendship that Spyro shared with dragonfly
Sparx. Seriously, everywhere that Spyro
went, Sparx was there to protect him.
If Spyro got harmed, Sparx would take the hit for him. That is one tough dragonfly! And Spyro would reward Sparx for his hard
work by feeding him butterflies to keep his golden aura shining brightly!
THE BIG HERO 6
Losing
a loved one is never easy - in the case of Hiro, losing his brother Tadashi was
a devastating blow. He isolated himself
from everybody in his life and wanted to be alone. But a big inflatable robot named Baymax wouldn't let that happen,
and you could say that he was the catalyst in reuniting Hiro with his friends
Gogo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred.
Together, they formed the greatest superhero alliance that San Fransokyo
has ever seen - and one of the strongest friendships ever shown in a Disney
film.
