During my 'there's no way I'm going to become a borny' phase, I 'caught' my daughter watching Slice of Life and it was the first time I saw DJ Pon3 - so basically, that episode did a few things 1) I saw a show much broader and deeper than 'a girls show', 2) an adult audience was made obvious and celebrated, 3) I saw myself in DJ Pon3...like a lot. Chill and Quiet, but also gets excited, listens to music constantly, a jokester, etc.
Understood my friend. I hope you can work things out soon.
