Friend Rape!

WCSU feels like home. Not home, like hometown comfort home, but just home. I am enjoying my classes a lot and the people I've started to grow and attach to. I did not think I would nestle in so easily but the people in the theater department are like family. I expected to come into this theater program and meet a bunch of fairy guys and diva chicks, but it is quite the contrary. There is not one person who I can say that I do not like in one way or another. Everybody is supportive of one another and helpful. They are not the type of people to sabotage others for their own gain, which is strange for people in this kind of business, but I guess the better type of person you are, the better treatment and respect you will receive back!

This girl Kaitie, who plays Bobbi, the character I am understudying, is sincerely pecan pie, or Sally Creamcheese...because she is such a damn peach! She is just such a genuine type of person that I couldn't resist loving her.

Then, we have Paige...there have been close friends of mine, who I had had a lot in common with in the past, but with Paige, it's scary. Honestly, one would have thought Paige and I had known each other for decades. We are devious little bitches, who love a good investment piece of clothing, but are carelessly judgmental of all who come in our path. We have sailor mouths and essentially have lead parallel lives. It's actually quite frightening!

Then come the boys, who I already feel a kinship with. As cheesy as it sounds, it's true. The first night I met Conor, I could already sniff out that he had the same odd sense of humor as I do. Sean is simply the coolest and nicest guy I've probably ever met, seriously, he is the most hospitable person I have yet to come in contact with. For Sean, it just seems like he is not out for personal gain when it comes to friendships, he is just so giving and chill about everything. Adam or "Scobo" is pretty damn cool I guess. For the first few weeks I seriously thought he did not like me at all, because we would be in the same room and like glance at me and then not say anything. However, we somehow figured out that we are both cursed with a massive love for comedy and straight up weirdness that it all fell together. It's weird because even though him and I aren't personally that close as friends yet, he just feels like a brother. And Mike, who is Sean's room mate, is a fucking riot too. Honestly when I first met Mike, he reminded me of that youtube video about Bro-rape...but, knowing me, that only makes me like people more for their silliness. Then there is Chris, who is actually one of the older guys in the department, who is married and has a kid, but something about his personality reminds me a shitload of Garrett.

Obviously, there are other chicks and dicks who I have become close to as well. These are just to name a few. I am really glad I decided against being a hermit and got to know these people. At first, I thought of the program as just a unit of people I did not know and I originally almost shut myself off because I thought I was going to hate on everyone. It's the exact opposite. There always comes a time when change is needed and new people need to become part of your life, because there so much more out there than just a small ass town. Essentially, I was super-surprised to be deep-throated with new amazing people!

Cheers to being bro-raped?
