Plus, we find out why Will looked SO uncomfortable at an “illegal rave,” even if it never really was a jungle.

anxiety baby

i’m not sure if this is a journal entry or a poem, but here goes nothing.

    i think you’re so cool. you really give a damn, and i think that’s awesome. when i think of you, i think about how much i miss you. but, in eight days, i will get to see you again. eight fucking days. that’s like hanukkah, but for the heart. i am SO anxious. like, i want to see you. i want to say hi. i want to surprise you on your birthday and somehow not have that be weird or awkward that i know what your birthday is (but don’t blame me, blame the athletics department! they posted it. not me. the only things i post are blog entries.) i wish you knew how awesome i think you are. you have a fucking job. at school. that’s awesome. yes, i have been watching a little too much how i met your mother lately, so pardon the barney-isms. at least i fought the urge to call you legendary.
   watching himym reminds me of how much i miss my friends. i miss hanging out with them and talking about the drama we have to report on for the chronicle (super secret goss, sorry b.) i know i write a lot to you. it’s a little weird, yes. but i thought i’d stop sending you emails you’re not going to read and instead post blog entries for other people to read. i don’t want the people at the gym reading my emotional messages to the boy i like. man? guy? i don’t know. you’re almost nineteen. what’s that? or are you almost twenty? i actually don’t know.
    there’s a lot i don’t know about you. i wish i did. i wish i knew what made you want to do what you want to do in life. outlook says your major is ‘health sciences’ but hell if i know what that means. i want to know how you got into basketball. was it because of your dad? does your dad like basketball? what is that logo for? the one on your beanie and the sticker on your laptop. i noticed it the first time i saw you. and your eyes. i noticed how blue they were. are. who has blue eyes in your family? are these questions weird? being autistic definitely affects the things i want to know about people. i want to know the middle name of literally everyone i have ever met. middle names are cool. i know nothing about yours. except for what classes and outlook tell me; it starts with d. i feel like i’ll just end up building all this suspense and then you’ll tell me it’s david. which is my dad’s name. i don’t know how i’d feel about that.
    there is one question, though, that is apparently what will make or break the state of our relationship. (in a general sense, not necessarily a romantic relationship). would you ever consider going out with me? i was told by someone much wiser and more experienced than i am that this is the first question i should ask before i get it in my head that we have any sort of romantic chemistry. being your friend would be absolutely amazing, but i’d like to know if there’s any more to our story– if there is an “our story”. so, b, when i see you next week, say hi. just hi. anything else is up to you, but i’d really appreciate a greeting. okay, bye, b. you’re the coolest. in the geekiest, smartest way, you’re awesome. keep being awesome (and i don’t mean that in an awkwardly signing your yearbook in seventh grade because i might have unresolved feelings for you kind of way).

Jennifer Fishel Meets World

Topanga Lawrence may have had two different moms on Boy Meets World, but Danielle Fishel? She’s only got one. And so Jennifer Fishel joins the show for some behind the scenes stories you won’t believe!

n

Find out which cast member Jen found intimidating (even as a teenager), and why she had to become a bit over-protective while on set.

n

But she wouldn’t be a good parent if she didn’t give us some off-camera scoop too – like what teenage Danielle did to truly infuriate her and which of her Teen Magazine centerfold boyfriends was Jenn’s favorite.

n

It’s a family affair on the newest episode of Pod Meets World…

TGI – Episode 307 “Truth and Consequences”

Media trained or not, this episode brought out a lot of feelings. It may be the beginning of the meaningful storylines and character development we’ve been waiting for, but it’s also the start of “crazy pants” when it comes to Eric. Will this recipe for sitcom be the moment that fixes Season 3 for our hosts?

n

Another legendary line read from the great Blake Sennet is praised, and Mr. Williams gets the storyline he deserves.

n

No need to test this dream, it’s another great recap episode of Pod Meets World!

Melissa Joan Hart Meets World

Melissa Joan Hart explains it all on a brand new episode! How did her mom pay $1 for the rights to Sabrina? Which PMW host did she briefly date as a teenager? What’s going on in that infamous movie premiere photo with Britney Spears? And what will she be working on with Will in the not-so-distant future? Plus, time travel to the back of a limo with Melissa, Danielle and *NSYNC during the early ‘00s. It’s time to sit down with a real witch on the newest Pod Meets World…

TGI – Episode 306 “This Little Piggy”

Imagine a game show where the casts of Boy Meets World, Saved by the Bell and Full House, competed against each other by jumping and strategizing around a favorite childhood game. Can we make that dream a reality? Rider is not down.

n

But onto bigger and better things – it’s time to tackle the episode, “This Little Piggy,” which gives us more Topanga, but not in the way we wanted. Will the downward spiral of Season 3 continue, or can the gang find a way to lift their spirits?

n

Plus, the hosts share memories of working with one of the greatest actors of their generation… but sadly, he left his dressing room a sty.

Sara Markowitz Meets World

You know the “who” and the “why” of Boy Meets World, but now it’s time to hear about the “wear!” 

n

Legendary costume designer Sara Markowitz joins Danielle, Will and Rider to share her stories from seasons 2 & 3, while spilling some of the best dressed secrets (like the true meaning of Turner’s ties and what BMW has in common with Twin Peaks!!)

n

Mysteries are uncovered as Sara takes us into the Boy Meets World closet ‘fit by ‘fit, but will we find out the REAL origin of “the leather jacket?”

n

This is an episode where too much shirts is a good thing!

TGI – Episode 305 “Hometown Hero”

The gangs’ concerns about Season 3 sure are stacking up – but are they just facing another bout of Drop Shock? 

n

With Topanga back on the call sheet, there’s hope, but the absence of tripods, cameras and cables are stealing most of Rider’s attention.

n

Plus, this episode inspires Will to admit to a lifelong lie he told about Bon Jovi and some tour travel stories are in full effect…

Lindsay Ridgeway Meets World

She may have been in a super long timeout, but now she’s free and ready to chat! You know her as “the second Morgan Matthews,” but what you don’t know are the details of how it all went down, the secrets that were kept (including from Lindsay!) and why Will might not be allowed into a LEGOLAND.

n

We move on from the Weasel and hear all about the birth of a brand new Morgan. 

n

Same World. New stories. It’s time for a new, and highly anticipated, Pod Meets World…

TGI – Episode 304 “He Said, She Said”

For a script that has more storylines than John Adams High School has floors, the gang is back and ready to recap. With Shawn getting advice (and tips on flirting?) from a new guidance counselor, it’s also time to say goodbye to both of our top bullies. Our hosts also notice the episode’s “bum” character is a true legend and papayas are not a casual snack, man! 
Rider details what it was like to emancipate from his parents as a teen and Danielle reveals she’s still friends with her first troll. The podcasts keep coming, but the teacher keep getting younger – on Pod Meets World!
