Undergraduate / Can I start my essay creatively (like this) for Brown? [5]

one of Brown's short answer questions is this:
Please tell us more about your interest in Brown: Why does Brown appeal to you as
a college option? Who or what has influenced your decision to apply?

i'm trying to think of a creative way to start my answer out. here's one way i thought about starting it:

Brown University was Seth Cohen's dream school. And Seth Cohen was my dream man. Of course, it may sound a bit ludicrous that a fictional character from a teen drama seriously influenced my choice of college. However, if it weren't for Seth Cohen from The O.C., I truly may have never discovered Brown's...

is this interesting? would it set me apart (in a good way)? or is it just something that i should avoid?
