Abby Sciuto Week

How can you fall in love with a scientific naive goth woman. It all seems like an impossible combination with her innocence, like bowling with the nuns, while frequent references are made to her active unmarried sex life. With all the strange pieces she still has that strange attraction. Marsha loved Abby and I must say I do like her character. I think we recognize some of the strange contradictions that exist in all of us when we encounter Abby. I think with other people we want to make them very simple, as if we completely understand them from the small glimpses we have into their reality. However when we look at ourselves we see the complicated contradictions that operate in us. Although for me Abby may be a cute over the top exaggeration, in some way she connects with people, because she is a bit unlovable and yet is profoundly loved. A lot of us feel a bit unlovable for one reason or another and yet want to be profoundly loved. Abby makes us feel like that love is possible.

Marsha would love a week with Abby at the center. Marsha was complicated too. I loved that about her. Life with her was a constant surprise and yet almost entirely predictable in hindsight. Well I love love Abbey week too! I like the way it helps me remember Marsha.
