T.J. & Megan: Episode 1

Megan was the very first person I ever met at Master's. She actually doesn't remember it but I met her before Master's even started. It was at some meeting that I only arrived at the end of to pick up my mother so that we could go rafting on the Nantahala. She introduced herself to me because, I'm incredibly good looking.

We really didn't talk much after that because we had no classes together. Then came Bob Jones University. I hate Bob Jones University, but ironically I fondly remember the time I spent there. She and I hung out a couple of times and our friendship was cemented. She found out I was funny and I found out that she was weird in a number of awesome ways.

Megan has since become one of my most valued friends in a totally platonic way. I trust her, value her opinion, and love hanging out with her. She's one of those you can be yourself around and she'll only mock you as much as necessary. You may feel differently but if you normally keep your collection a secret, it's because you know it's embarrassing and worthy of chastisement.

Megan is an invaluable asset because she is the absolute queen of stage managing. She is one of the funniest, quirkiest people I've ever met but when she becomes stage manager, she goes professional and frightens cast members. Frankly, I'm okay with this because I don't have to.
