Sometimes I Think About Adam Brody

Sometimes I think about Adam Brody. And I'm not saying that today is one of those days, I'm just saying that sometimes it happens.

Sometimes I think about his role on the Gilmore Girls and about how he was the sweetest guest they ever had. I think about how I wish his character had become a permanent cast member so that Adam Brody wouldn't have had to leave Connecticut for California, i.e. The O.C.

And, naturally, whenever I think about The O.C., I come to the conclusion that the only reason why I watched it was to see Adam Brody, and then I think about how I can't believe I put up with it for two whole seasons.

Except I can, because, you know, Adam Brody.

And then I think about how weird it is that Adam Brody is usually cast as a nerd, when—in fact—he is very, very not. I suppose it's because of that cute stammery voice thing.

But I'm not buying the nerd act.

And then I remember that Adam Brody WAS cast as a cool guy in Jennifer's Body, and then I remember that I was disappointed by Jennifer's Body. That despite a perfect premise and perfect casting (especially Adam Brody), it fell flat. But it did give Adam Brody a cool guy role, which was evident because they gave him cool guy eyeliner.

And then I think about Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day, who's been doing the cool guy eyeliner thing for the last few years, and then I remember the earlier days when he was more attractive, and then I think that Billie Joe Armstrong should seriously consider dropping the makeup and leaving it to a younger generation of guys.

Guys like Adam Brody.

And then, inevitably, I think about how nice it would have been to have dated a guy like Adam Brody in high school. And how the only possible way to convince me to spend a day back inside my old school would be if I could sit in a math class behind Adam Brody. I would ignore the problems on the board and jump whenever the teacher called on me, because I would be completely distracted.

Distracted by Adam Brody.

Sometimes I think about Adam Brody. I'm not saying today is one of those days, but—sometimes—it happens.
