no, you have not timewarped to elapses circa 2004.

I'm having... feelings.





PREDICTABLY, this is a post about these two people:


Except, PSYCH, it is kind of also about some other people too:


LOOK, SOMETIMES YOU JUST GET LOST ON THE INTERNET, okay, and by no volition of your own you find yourself at a-brody.com, and then you realize he is a) strangely still attractive and b) SAD AND ALONE WITHOUT RACHEL, so then you have to go look at the 2003-2005 galleries to make yourself feel better. AND THEN IT'S LIKE, wow, isn't it sad how I still know EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE GALLERIES like the back of my hand (BIG IN '03 = BASICALLY MY FAVORITE SET OF O.C. CAST PHOTOS EVER, mostly for the Rachel/Adam/Samaire series), and then you realize it DOESN'T MATTER.

Anyway yeah.



ADAM AND MISCHA!!!! I kind of like to think they're bffs. I DON'T KNOW, whenever they're in pictures together (which is not that often) they always seem to be hanging off each other or giggling or something fun. Everyone else seems more bored around Mischa.










(WEIRD, RIGHT?)


NOT EVEN GOING TO LIE, I have a dirty old man crush on Peter Gallagher. Sandyyyyyyyy!



OKAY SO I AM TOTALLY SUBJECTING YOU TO TOO MUCH OF MY O.C. STARS PERSONAL CANON, but I have always had this weird feeling like Josh Schwartz is... kiiiiiind of in love with Rachel Bilson? Well, not kind of, like, totally, irrevocably, caught up in the throes of unrequited Bilson romance. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT COMES FROM, although they did go to some event together than I can no longer find pictures of (but her dress was white) and... I don't know, maybe it's the way he talks about how Summer went from her teeny role in the pilot to... Summer? I MIGHT BE TOTALLY MAKING IT UP, but she did guest star on Chuck pretty damn quick. But I'm still probably delusional, la la la la.












I KNOW HE LOOKS LIKE A WEIRD MALE MODEL, but I am totally attracted to Chris Carmack. Shut up, tinhooves :(





I really like this series of photos because it seems like Rachel is DESPERATE to articulate something but everyone is mostly ...ing at her (haha I'm such a creepster but I LOVE photos of celebrities in the middle of a conversation? actually not just celebrities, though, ANYONE in the middle of talking):










Okay sorry about all that diversion (I JUST LOVE THEM ALL), we can move on to the love story now.



IN MY HEAD, this was totally absolutely their first date. Kind of. He was too much of a wuss to actually ask her out. He told her it was with friends. "Friends" turned out to be Bret, who had been EXPLICITLY INSTRUCTED to get lost if things were going well. Note how he is wearing his favorite shirt. Man, Adam Brody would take a girl to a Halloween Haunt. ANYWAYYYYY I AM OBSESSED WITH THE PROGRESSION OF FACES/HOW THEY RELATE TO MY IMAGINARY VERSION OF REALITY, which is... maybe kind of why there are three thousand photos from this set despite the low quality:






















Ew, Brody.





Anyway. Must've been a good date.














Dirty moustache aside, THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

I JUST... WHY DID THEY HAVE TO BREAK UP?


ANYWAY, I know I missed a bunch (although I'm sure it doesn't seem that way to an outside viewer), sooooooooooo if you have... other favorites? I would like to see them? Especially if that includes the picture where Ben McK steals Bilson's hat and dangles it on top of her. Or the one where one of the Bilsons or Brodys steals the other one's sidekick? OR THE ONES FROM RACHEL'S PHONE. Just... suggestions.

ANYWAY,


I'M THINKING ABOUT SEEING STAR TREK IN IMAX. Hmm.

Ugh Anna I'm sorry but there are like, eight Rachel Bilson fansites now (which is weird because what does she even DO these days?) and none of them have completely collections and I can't find that set on any of them :(

Oh gosh I'm sorry I didn't realize you'd have to search for it, thank you so much for doing that!! And don't worry about it, I've been looking for it for so long I just figure I'll never find it.

Oh no don't worry about it! I knew exactly where to look, it was no effort at all.
