hahaist011's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- confusing: steve is like zack, but brandon isn't really like slater. you know how klosterman writes about the Tori Paradox? (it's in that saved by the bell essay that makes me green and itchy!) well, what _he_ doesn't know about (possibly because he only ever watched Melrose Place, the fool) is the other facet of tori. and this can also be filed under the category Overlap b/w SBTB and 90210 (see Thiessen, Tiffani-Amber) ok, this may get confusing even though it is very simple. you may get confused and think we're speaking of tori spelling. yes, she was on SBTB, but she played violet. the tori from SBTB was played by that actor girl who is triplets (or were, anyway, in Parent Trap III). and could maybe be described as muckle mouthed. (what does that mean?) anyhow, on tori's first day at bayside (which also happens to be the first day of senior year! party!), she rolls in all leather-jacketed and booted and, of course, with a fucking helmet under her arm. i believe there is some locker trouble. (surprise overlap alert! i must be an idiot--i never thought of this before, but that's pretty much exactly how emily valentine rolls into west beverly on the first day of, um, junior year. albeit in the mode of a television show with a bigger budget. dylan sees her on her bike looking all tasty, and brandon helps her with her locker. i-saw-her-first ensues, sorta.) anyway, zack and slater both meet tori at different times and tell each other about it later. at the maxx. (duh.) see, they're both so stoked because a) tori is like all Edgy and Cool and b) they're both totally over kelly (kapowski! not taylor!) and looking for some new talent. so they're all talking about these rad chicks they've met NEVER REALIZING THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME GIRL. oh crap! change of scene: it's the summer before senior year at west beverly high. brandon walsh (brenda's twin! not mikey's older brother!) is, again, on hiatus from the peach pit to work as a cabana boy at the beach club. steve sanders is looking forward to yet another summer of highly competitive beach volleyball, wearing purple caps with the brim flipped upward, and generally being an asshole. what these two young men DO have in common, though, is that they are definitely, absolutely, no-doubt-about-it going to score like a whole buncha girls. on the first day at the beach club (which isn't really the first day it's open but the first day both brandon and steve are there...due to a totally different and typically boring steve-oriented storyline), they BOTH draw first blood. steve meets this girl named rory (like "tori" with an "R"! and seriously, she goes, "i'm rory," and steve goes, "yes you are." i'm serious.) the conversation by the bar: S: i met a chick and who is that chick?! none other than tori from SBTB/the triplets girl from parent trap! omg. and if you really stop to think about it, steve and brandon are eerily similar to slater and zack in terms of the texture of their hair. the twist on that storyline, though, is that brandon's wrong! he didn't meet rory! he met claire (not the claire who shows up later and is a) prettier than everyone else b) smarter than everyone else and c) inexplicably into steve), rory's twin! there are two of them! (on the show, that is. i swear to god, there are three in real life.)
