dude, i think i have broken my brain, or something, but i didn't finad any of them sad. at all
the first was just sweet and happy and lovey. i mean, yeah, you know where it's going to end up, but the story isn't depressing. it just makes you see how much in love they were in the beginning, and why they would try to hold on to it for so long.
the second is kind of. . .wistful and empowering. you see the nostalgia elaine has for the 2-7, but she knows she can't go back without lessening the cop she has become, and the fact that she knows this is a good thing.
the third is just keen, especially the brother-love, and very optimistic, especially on frannie's part. it made me happy, to know that you couldn't keep her good heart down. (although she needs a better checklist for how she picks her guys) do you have anybody in you head, playing that guy?
the fourth was sad only in that she wouldn't go to her sister's wedding, but it wasn't (to me) intrinsically sad. meg knew what she wanted out of life, and she basically got it. it didn't seem (again, to me) that she was particularly bothered by the fact that she had no man.
and then the fifth - the fifth seems poignat and a little desperate, but not sad. it's like those things you think of in the middle of the night, when it's really dark and you don't seem to fit inside your own skin, but then just make no sense in the morning. i bet these were the only five minutes of her life victoria felt this way. desperate and angry, and regretful.
so there you go. i am the freak swimming against your feedback tide.
