Middle school? That would have been Star Trek: The Next Generation. Best friend. Hmm. I'd be too weirded out by Deanna Troi being able to sense my emotions. Will Riker would hit on me, because I'm female. Data is too...android-y. Geordi LaForge? Geeky in a fun way, but probably not best buddy material. Beverly Crusher? Nice enough, but never seemed to have all that much personality, somehow. Tasha Yar? Dead. Worf? SUCH a Klingon: no sense of humor. Wesley Crusher? Nah, though Wil Wheaton might be another matter. Nope, it'd have to be Captain Picard! We could geek over archaeology, I could practice my French with him, and we'd drink good wine and talk about books. Yeah, he'd be fun.

Except he didn't like kids much, so I don't know about a middle-school buddy. ;)

Yeah, but it does say "to be your best friend today," so that's what I had in mind.

That'll teach me to read more closely. ;)

No problem--I realize you're thinking for two now. That can be distracting. :P

"Middle School" (junior high for us) is around the end of the period of my life when I actually watched TV, which I mostly stopped doing after a giant accident-induced binge of TV-watching partway through high school. Now you've got me thinking, what shows were there on at the time? Next Gen wasn't on yet, that was during college. Whatever did I watch, other than Nova and Nature documentaries and cartoons? Well, and the soaps my mother watched, but I don't think any of the characters on those would've made good friends :) Hmmm...
