Modern Day Gidget

When I was around the age of 10 my family and I moved to the LA area. My dad was going to pursue an acting career. I thought this was the greatest adventure ever. Around that time I think my mom was unsure of what she thought of the change. We were all unsure of what the outcome would be but we just did it anyway. We didn't talk about our feelings or what this meant. My mom talked to me a lot though about how it was going to happen, to prepare me. This helped. Around the time we got to California, my mom introduced me to show from her generation-Gidget. I fell in love with that girl. I couldn't get enough of Gidget. Gidget, Gidget, Gidget. I felt that she spoke and thought in a way that I spoke and thought. She questioned things, she had raw emotions, she overananlyzed, she was a genuine gal. I still think of myself as the modern day Gidget. Wanting adventure and feeling myself through it with my gut, optimistic but pensive and thoughtful. Smile on my face, sometimes biting my lip with insecurity, but finding in the end what I need to do and do it. Gidget seemed to not hold back. Sure she was still too accommodating and represented that 'little girl' syndrome, kind of clueless and not to mention the theme song 'That Gidget is Mine'? But it was back then. If you take the good parts of her-the sense of humor, the honesty, we could make a modern day Gidget. Who will play that part?
