God, I procrastinated and couch potato-ed all day. Woo and hoo!
Anyway. I need timelines on these people who are Matt's friends. Because I don't know if she'd have known them before getting whisked off to California by her mother (and therefore may have been friends with them) or not.
So that would be Syd's deal with Ed. And if they've known each other before and now Ed not liking her, she'd be a little sad about it (god, this girl is too sweet) but she is Syd V2 so she'd be over it after a while and not care.
Claudia - If they knew each other pre-break up, I don't think Syd would've liked her. Heh. Just tolerated probably, and would've been nicely civil.
Lexi and Gracie - I...have nothing on these two. Syd probably would have seen or heard of them, but yeah, again it all depends if she knew their brothers when she was going out with Matt. We could have one (or both?) of them just have met Syd somehow, because Syd's just this welcoming ray of sunshine who you could go cry or have a picnic with. :D
Rissa - Uh...same as the above? Hee. They are sort of similar so they have got to be friends somehow.
Ben - Syd absolutely liked all of Ben's siblings. She'd have looked to Ben as an older brother she had always wished she could have, so it would be a really awkward now with all that has happened, wouldn't it? xD
Maddie - Yeeeessss that would be interesting! When did she move to Atlanta? They SHOULD have met in NYC, and if Mads had met Matt before Syd came back, she could have ranted a bit to Syd about some guy who's being an asshole because she's everybody's sounding board. :D
Chandler - Syd's the type to like quiet moments of being alone, but she rises to the occasion to be cheery and even giggly depending on the company. So she would've like Chandler a lot, although we'll have to work out on how they met. But she definitely would have met him when she went on her Europe trip.
Ollie - Sooo. Sad and depressed and heartbroken Syd moves to LA, and she would have LOVED anyone's company. Although not in that way, because she's just really mourning. If ever she did go out with Ollie, she would think, for her part, that it was just hanging out with a friend. And you know, drinking off her sorrows, as that seems to be Ollie's way of life. xD
Cyn - Someone needs to have talked Syd out of her funk and Cyn could be it. And she could be one of the influences that made sort-of tougher Syd (aka Syd V2) that is now walking around in Atlanta.
Ellie - Gods, I think they should be friends not just because they're similar in the being responsible and practical part, but also because it would be a little awkward if also a little shocking if or once Syd learns she slept with Matt.
Livvy - They should be friends just because Syd would have liked to have surrounded herself with nice people as her practical solution to heartbreak and depression.
Penny - Syd needs a friend who she left in Atlanta and yet has remained in contact with. She'd have cut off from all people she knew in common with Matt (because even hearing news about him hurt at that time) but yeah, she needs that one person, a sort of like BFF if not the BFF from Georgia. :D
Charlie - He and Syd should meet first, I suppose? :D
OHMYGOD I FINALLY GOT DONE WITH YOUR CHARACTERS! ♥
