Rayanne Graff

Rayanne Graff is the daughter of an alcoholic, histrionic mom and an absent father, and she's the best friend you've ever had. You current best friends are boring, goody-two-shoes cheerleaders on the Yearbook committee, and you are drawn to Rayanne's effusive spirit -- the way she doesn't care what people say about her, the way she sleeps around and doesn't apologize for it, the way she is friends with the elusive Tino. Your mom doesn't like Rayanne, and that makes you like her more. Rayanne hooks up with your intense boy-crush, but you have to forgive her because it's not like he was getting any from you, anyway. She is a lavish flash of intense light in your otherwise dreary world, and yet she can be so vulnerable that you need to forgive her flaws and you just want to help her figure things out. Rayanne comes with a faithful sidekick of her own, who will welcome you into the fold, but you can never replace Rayanne. She will dye your hair red in your bathtub and change your life forever.

Wrinkling up your forehead isn't coy, it's just ugly.

I was always irritated by My So Called Life because in high school Claire Danes' character was exactly the kind of girl I'd have a crush on but would never in a million years date me.

But Glenn, the girl you dated in high school was SO COMPLETELY FUCKING HOT.

Once Angela went to Brian's house for their mouse project thing but it was really just an excuse for her to meet Jordan outside in his car.
