Dear Awkward Jenna,
We barely know you yet--we only met you yesterday in the "Awkward" trailer--but we just wanted to write a quick note to say that we already think we love you. (Sorry if that just made you feel even more awkward, we don't love love you in the romantic sense. We love you like the kinda friend we'd let borrow our deodorant...er, we probably should've just said that we like you a lot.) Here's why:
We like you a lot because you stand out like a sore thumb arm for all the wrong reasons, and we know a thing or two about that.
We like you a lot because we know what it's like to be infatuated with a gutless d-bag (too harsh? the verdict's still out on him) even though we're highly logical in all other areas of our life.
We like you a lot because the actress who plays you also once played Brooke Davis' foster daughter on "One Tree Hill," and that's a surrriously good show, even though watching Stephen Colletti in the romantic scenes makes us feel uncomfortable, as if he's cheating on LC or K-Cav.
We like you a lot because you've got a dark sense of humor but still remain hopeful about life beyond your suffocating high school hallways.
We like you a lot because you have no idea just how pretty and cool you really are.
We like you a lot because you don't necessarily like yourself enough yet. We want you to learn that you're likable, so we'll do it for you until you can do it for yourself.
Oh, to hell with it...We LOVE you because pretty much every thought that circulates through that big brain of yours, every feeling that wells up in that big heart of yours, we've had before.
We LOVE you because you are us, or rather, we were once you. (FYI: This is a good thing. We're very awesome.)
Welcome to the hood, Jenna! We look forward to seeing you on a weekly basis starting Tuesday, July 19 at 11/10c.
With Lotsa Like and Even Some Love Too,
Remote Control
