Girlfriends ~ Cancelled?

CrimsonTide4 · #1 05-20-2002, 10:13 PM

I was just sitting here thinking about the season finale of GIRLFRIENDS which I did not used to watch but am now hooked.

I got to thinking about which character am I most similar to.

So I ask you my GC sistas, are you Joan, Toni, Lynn, or Maya?

well, in the last few years, i've come to the realization that i have multiple personalities (have ya'll ever had one of those lipstick tests where they look at the shape of your used lipsticks to determine your personality? i had a tube in my purse that matched every single one! but, another story another thread...), i believe i am a little of all four...

i'm pretty level-headed and a lot of people seek my advice and approval, like joan

i'll admit it, i'm a little street-ish but can check it, like maya

toni and lynn...hmm...er, um uh...well, i take that back. i'm a little like two of them

Both my sister and my boyfriend have said they think I kinda look like Toni. I haven't seen this show in a grip since my cable provider decided to ax UPN, so I really can't remember what she looks like. I'm guessing she's dark with long hair.

I think I act most like Maya. Sometimes my ghetto side manages to surface despite my most EARNEST attempts.

Yesterday's show was highly complex...which was great! Did you all catch their conversation about Maya's cheating. What did you think about those statements? Toni didn't want her to tell that she cheated on Darnell because she had gotten away with it. Joan was saying that she only wanted to tell to ease her own guilt. I thought that was interesting given some of the convos surfacing around the good Greekchat!

I believe that she should have told Darnell long ago. That way, if he stuck around, he wouldn't have stuck around in a lie, like he eventually did. The reason why she was so disshelved at the end of the show was because she had been found out! She was so silly during that whole Stan nonsense. Like my granddad used to say..the things that you do in your "youth" will come back to "hant" you.

I'm probably like the "new" Toni...concerned about other people's feelings, with a healthy sense of self. And, like Joan in my focus on my career and being a "mother"-like figure in her friends life.

I love that show because of the "real-ness" of the dialogue. I may not agree with Joan's decision to be with "Junior" on last night's episode, but her emotions and the way that she expressed them to her old boy and Toni were real. What was also real was the way that Maya's hubby found out about the affair....those dang cell phones!

I'm Joan when I'm nice and Maya when folks piss me off!

I think I am a lot like Joan. But my favorite Girlfriend character is Toni.

Well since I am a Gemini and have Gemini traits I will say I am Maya and Lynn because we have the same drive

I'm really not sure. Geez.. I haven't watched the show in a minute. I guess I'd kinda be like Lynn. She's kinda flighty and fly by the seat of her pants. I'm like that sometimes. CT4, what you think? Who would you be??

I am more like Joan because I see her as the leader of the group, the one who generally has her head on her shoulders, who the others turn to advice. She is one who is focused career wise, but at the same time does not have a man right now. She is the one who tells her friends how she feels and when they "reject" her words/advice/insight, she is hurt but still loves them. Joan is the motherly type of friend. Oh but I can be a combo of Maya and Toni given the right situations.

Ideal is kind of like that but I can see the Lynn in her too.

Even though I do not look anything like Tracee Ellis Ross, I think I'm most like Joan, based on superficial traits. She dresses well, has a cool, classic, minimalist style.

Like Joan, I'm focused on my career, but don't have a man.

I really enjoyed this past episode of Girlfriends. I'm not a watcher of the show per se, but this entire episode (outside of that weird Lynn lesbian thingie) rang true for me--I was really feeling Joan this episode--really.

I don't know who I'm most like--probably a cross between Joan and Mya. I don't know Toni's character well enough, and I know I'm very little like Lynn.

TONI CHILDS makes me HURL!!!

No really. She is whiny, annoying, and a BRAT!!!

It took 4 diamond rings to shut her azzzzzzz up. She is starting to make me hate watching the show.

**flips a coin to decide if I wanna watch part 2 or watch My Big Fat Greek Life**

Joan. She's focused, stable, smart, and corny sometimes.

RedefinedDiva · #15 02-24-2003, 11:08 PM

I think that I am a little bit like all of them.

I am like Joan because she is focused on her career, likes to have control, wants to be the mother and model best friend.

I am like Mya because I can get a little bucked on people sometimes. You know how Mya can get straight "ethnic!"

I am like Lynn because I am on my way to my second degree and I still plan on going to law school. However, I just want to be an eduacted "free-spirit." As far as the "freak" thing that she has happening, I don't think that I am there yet.

I am like Toni because I think that I am fabulous. I am trying to create a life that is simply spectacular. I think that Toni is taking her less than stellar childhood and trying to make a future that provides all the finer things. What's wrong with that?

She is a little stuck-up and materialistic at times, though.
