Hey Jenna: anger. pain. abandonment issues. He's telling you all the reasons he's a bad bet. But you listened to Mary, that was your mistake. Sticks fingers in ears: la la la, I can't hear you! Go away, bad thoughts! He's so dreamy.... And a doctor! Must. Not. Mention. Drinking. Problem. Or that odd hair transformation.
Okay, I've been following this storyline for as long as Jenna has been living it, and I do not see any personal charm or interest in Dr Mike/Mikey.
Does she think love is for her because he has a pulse and, presumably, some cash in the bank? If her standards are that low, certainly there were other boy friends/victims along the way she could have latched on to.
I love Jenna's face!! She's toootally not listening. "Hum dee dumm, I'd love to be a June bride. We can have the reception at the Golden Corridor, and there will of course be an open bar....tra la la..."
Jenna will immediately race home after lunch, change her Facebook relationship status, then call B?BJ? and ask her to be maid of honor, then go shopping for dresses.
Twelve years from now, Jenna, a little heavier from having three kids, will send out the family photo in her Christmas cards: Jenna and Mike, the kids and the dog will all have on co-ordinating Christmas sweaters. There will be a cozy fire in the fireplace and a lovely decorated tree in the background. And, LOL, I guarantee--Jenna will STILL be wearing that d--- ponytail with the white hair scrunchy!
@ Vicki, Yes, I can see it now! And on the inside of this future Christmas card, under the bold printed type reading "Peace to the World" there will be a handwritten note from Mike. "I made peace with my dad before he passed."
She is clearly talking to her drink when she says, "I didn't think love was meant for me either until I met YOU." But I'd need a few drinks too if I were dating a guy who looked different every time I saw him. I think there was an X-files episode on someone like that. Not really husband material, if you ask me. But we're all different...and some of us are drunk.
Has Jenna ever dated before? Can she actually relate to other people? Has she ever had to look at another person and appreciate them for their positve traits and be accepting of their faults? Or is she a two-position switch or possibly an alien pod?
Remember the line form the movie "As Good Ad It Gets"? The writer played by Jack Nicholson is asked "How do you write women so well?" How would Karen Moy answer that question? (Okay, strike the words "so well") "I think of a doorknob and I wonder what it might do or say if it could walk around and talk and go out to lunch."
Miss Emish, not only is she planning the wedding, but she's taken the little white Bible she's going to carry with her bouquet out of her purse and put it on the table! Maybe after one more drink, she'll pull out and put on the white veil.
I guess Jenna is going to steer Dr. Mike to another stroll along the boardwalk, or wherever it was they walked that one time. However, she's probably not bright enough to figure out there won't be fireworks this time.
"Hello, Mom? I've met the dreamiest guy. We had this one super romantic date. Then I didn't hear from him for two months. But all is well - turns out he can eat five hot dogs at one sitting! Any rage and anger issues? He says they're all resolved! His hair color? Oh, it, uh, varies. Did I tell you that's he's a doctor? He likes to wear pants and jackets that match. And he's fond of pigeons. Mom, I'm so happy!"
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.
I think we're going to need another bowl of donuts.
Oh-oh -- is that a vodka and tonic Jenna is sipping? Oh, neat vodka? OK, I can see that old familiar "buzzy feeling" coming back again...

ReplyDeleteFrom the look on Jenna's face, I'll have what she's having!

"Oh, Jenna, did I mention that I swore to my father that I would hunt down Richie's killer? I want to carry on his proud tradition of vigilantism."
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to get Dick Tracy over here and shoot somebody in the face?
ReplyDelete@ Vicki, Yes, I can see it now! And on the inside of this future Christmas card, under the bold printed type reading "Peace to the World" there will be a handwritten note from Mike.

"Karen, how do you write women so well?"
ReplyDelete"I pattern myself after Allen and John Saunders, taking away their creativity, imagination, research and talent."
"Karen, how so you write women so well?"
ReplyDeleteI think of myself and the words just write themselves."
The next words out of Jenna's mouth will be, "Math is hard."
ReplyDeleteMiss Emish, not only is she planning the wedding, but she's taken the little white Bible she's going to carry with her bouquet out of her purse and put it on the table! Maybe after one more drink, she'll pull out and put on the white veil.
ReplyDeleteFriday, 9/17.
ReplyDeleteI hope that Giella can one day afford a reference book on drawing ponytails. His ponytail skills are woefully lacking.
Didn't one of the gangsta's from the shootout at Santa Royale have a ponytail? I can't remember.
I bet it looked GREAT!
Karen, how do you write women so well?
ReplyDelete"I have book of hairstyles! I pick personality based on how she wear her hair"
Correction: The next words out of Jenna's mouth will be, "Math is hard. Waiter, freshen my drink."
ReplyDeleteSorry to be up so early, but today (Saturday) Mike must have consumed a bowl full of steroids. He is taking on the look of the Incredible Hulk!
ReplyDeleteThe look on Jenna's face says "Ah, there's that buzzy feeling!"
ReplyDeleteI guess Jenna is going to steer Dr. Mike to another stroll along the boardwalk, or wherever it was they walked that one time. However, she's probably not bright enough to figure out there won't be fireworks this time.
ReplyDeleteIf Jenna steers Mike toward the water and if he continues to yammer on about his dead father's soul, I really hope she pushes him in.

ReplyDeleteJenna reminds me of Flo in those insurance commercials on tv - "....and we're walking...and we're WALKING!"
