Marissa was REALLY putting herself out there...

For some reason I started thinking about this topic this morning, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. And not for the reason you might think....(get your mind out of the gutter!) The OC:Season 2 when Marissa slid her hand into Alex's at that crappy concert. What a leap she was taking there, and not just a personal leap into lezbinenism, but a leap at thinking Alex would be into her. Let's consider...

The first night we see Marissa, she drinks so much she passes out and her friends just DROP her on her front porch. Then a random guy whom she "bummed" a ciggy from picks her up and carries her to his house.
She gives it up to a guy just because she was angry at her quasi-boyfriend and because the guy got shot.
She went on to OD on painkillers in TJ
She then escaped the hospital
She shoplifted then had to go to therapy.
She left her boyfriend for a psycho.
She ran away from her cushy house in Newport to "start over" in Chino
She started drinking after her boyfriend left to go take care of possibly his baby and she didn't stop until......
She started sexing with the Mexican (illegal?) gardener.
She is the offspring of..... a white-collar criminal who went broke, then caused his restaurant to get sold for WAY under value who was described by his daughter as a "thief" and a gold-digging, Mrs. Robinson wannabe who was described by her daughter as a "slut."

Between the heavy drinking, just having been dumped by DJ and the crazy parents situation (thief dad, gold-digging mom, step-dad old enough to be her granddad), she wasn't exactly a catch.

But I guess her thinking was, "oh Alex went for Seth, of course she'll go for me."

Well I have news for you Marissa, just because you were hot, that doesn't mean you were as hot as Emmanuelle Chriqui. She (Jodie) was pretty hot. And she was a true lezbinen, not just a "oh I want to piss my mom off lezbinen" like you were. Just so we know.

I just think you really went out onto a limb in assuming Alex would want you as a new girlfriend, but I guess in Newport, Lezbinens don't have much to choose from, so Alex was thrilled to find this new free agent. Oh well.

But I think we ALL knew if wouldn't work out. But it was fun watching you guys kiss on the Valentine's Episode. Great stuff.
