As it has been defined in the blogs before mine, a Parasocial relationship is a one side relationship, where one party knows a good amount about the second party, while the second party knows nothing about them.
When we first starting talking about this in class I though it was hilarious that this was a real thing. Because come on, who does that? Then as we talked about it more, and I started to really think about it, I realized that I did that. I was someone who had fallen victim to a parasocial relationship.
My name is Ashley Carsten and I am in a parasocial relationship with Josh Hutcherson.
Or J.Hutch as I refer to him with my friends.
I have always been a fan of J.Hutch's movies, and lets be real here I think he's hot. So it always helps to have a little eye candy when watching a movie. I also really love to watch interviews that stars do online, and because he's a little eye candy I love watching the interviews/promo's for movies he does. This all seems pretty normal until one day when my roommates and I were watching an old MTV cribs episode.
This stories needs to start with you knowing that I'm only 5'2. While this may not be the shortest height in the world, my friends love to make fun of me for it. All of my roommates are 5'5 or taller, so the short jokes never end in our house. I may also have an obsession with shoes, but that's a story for another time.
Anyway, so we are watching this old episode of MTV cribs, and J.Hutch is showing us around his house. He's not a very tall person, and my roommates were constantly pointing it out in this episode how small he looked compared to his car, his t.v. and so on. Then he gets to his closet, and oh my word the man has a lot of shoes. Like a whole wall of his closest is full of shoes.
It was over. I was officially in love, and my roommates made sure of that. Our living room erupted into chaos as everyone kept shouting about how short he was, but its okay because I'm short too. Its perfect that he loves shoes, because I love shoes so we can just have a giant shoe closet when we get married. I tried to play it off, but I could totally see it happening in my head.
So now when my roommates comment on how hot he is but they could never date him because he's too short, I just smile and say I'll take one for the team. J.Hutch and I, we are getting married some day. He just doesn't know it yet..
