A/N: Finally had some spare time to get the next bit up. I have, however, changed the format of how this works. Rather than seeing each person's train of thought, I've tried to make it so it seems like they're talking to someone (my back story behind this is Ross got involved in some psychology experiment where they're looking at social groups. They talk to each person about their life once a year. Does that make sense?) I'll leave the Monica and Rachel portions as they are, at least for now. Okay, so this time it's Phoebe, season one. Thanks to those who reviewed previous chapters!

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters or their stories.

'You want to know about my life? Oh, just this year? Well, you're going to miss out on all of the interesting bits then- like when I lived with an albino named Sid. Don't look at me like that, it's true! I thought psychiatrists were supposed to be understanding... All right, all right, I'm getting to it!

'So, this year... What have I been up to this year? Well, I guess it was about a year ago that I first met Rachel. I'd heard about her from Monica, just little things, but I could tell that they used to be good friends. I'm not quite sure what happened there, maybe they just drifted apart... hat did I think of Rachel? My first thought when I saw her was... I can't remember, but her aura was all dark and murky. Anyway, first of all I thought she was a bit of a spoilt brat, but then I tried to be more understanding. I realized that she was a nice person, she had just grown up in an entirely different situation to me. Moving to the city must have been a really scary thing for her to do and I didn't think she'd stay, but she did. And now we're really good friends.

'My other friends? I'm pretty sure you don't need me tell you about them, you'll be getting an earful of them soon enough. My opinion of them?... Okay! Let me see, let me see. Well, there's Monica, sometimes she can seem like too much what with all of her little obsessions and compulsions- I've never known anybody else to get down and their hands and knees and, like, scrub the floor with a toothbrush. For seven hours. But, you've got to admire her determination. Or maybe she's just really stubborn. Yeah, that's true actually. Then there's Rachel, but I already told you about her. Okay, so Monica and Rachel are probably my closest friends, but I'm still pretty close with the guys. Firstly, Joey Tribbiani, what a hunk of man meat. Okay, I admit it, I did have a crush on Joey; who wouldn't? Ah, you'll understand when you meet him later. Joey is so sweet- except for the time he dated my bitch of a twin sister. And he has a bit of a womaniser... But, it's hard not to like him. He may not be too bright, but I feel like he gets me. I'm not sure a lot of people do. Especially not Ross. Ross is... well, he's my polar opposite I guess. All science and lesbians. I disagree with most scientific principles and I am definitely not a lesbian. I tried it, but it wasn't for me. I'm going off the point... Despite our differences, I do think of Ross as one of my best friends. He's had a tough time lately, what with Carol and her lover, but I think he was rewarded when Ben was born. I'd also like to point out that the baby's name was my idea. Well, maybe not my idea as such... Yeah. And finally, in this particular circle of friends ( I know a lot more colourful characters than these guys), there's Chandler Bing. He's a bit of a goof and he can seem quite mean, but he doesn't mean any of it. I don't think so anyway. I just think he was a bit screwed up by his parents. Overall, they can all be annoying and whiny, but I love them all.

'I think that's enough about them, now onto me. Hi, my name's Phoebe! I'm a Pisces, so I don't mix well with other water signs, but I do enjoy trips to my psychic and aromatherapy. Is that what you wanted to know? No? Oh. Right. My love life? Ha! Okay, so towards the end of last year I met this great guy. He was incredibly smart and cute and so, so sweet to me. His name was David... What happened? He won some science thing and went to work in Minsk- that's in Russia. I haven't seen him since he left. He was going to stay for me, but I made him go. Why? His entire life's work had been leading up to this work he was going to skip out on, just for me, and we'd only been dating a few weeks. No, it wasn't fair to him... Did I love him? I think I did. I think a part of me still does. I did date another guy called Roger. Hey! He was a psychiatrist, like you! No offence, but he was a little creepy. I thought it was going well with him until I realized that I hated him. Other than that, there was no one else. No one important enough to mention.

'Anything interesting happen this year? Well, I saved a monkey from a deranged man and some pest control woman. No, I didn't dream it! It happened. Seriously. Oh, and Rachel's handsy Italian boyfriend hit on me. I thought he was cute, but... Turns out he was just a hairy crap weasel. Oh and there was the time I found a thumb in my soda. I tell you, people just kept throwing money at me that week. First of all, it was the bank and then the soda company... I didn't want to keep it, it wasn't mine. I gave it to Chandler to stop him smoking. Speaking of Chandler, I worked as his secretary for a bit this year. I had a great time, turns out I'm not the only person who noticed his interesting qualities and speech. Did I enjoy the job? Eh, I don't think I'm cut out for office work, but I did get to hang out at the water cooler and revel in office bitching and gossiping. It's not like Chandler actually needed me to do anything.

'That's basically my year, except for the bit where Underdog got away and we nearly burned down the apartment with our boyfriend bonfire. But, hey, if you want to meet cute guys it's worth calling the fire department to come to you. You could even start a fake fire for them to put out, make it authentic.

'Oh, is my time up? I don't really believe in time, I wouldn't know. Okay, so I guess I'll go. See you next year!'

A/N: I'd like to hear people's thoughts on the new format (which may or may not have been inspired by an episode of Scrubs...)
