In Homage to the Entertaining People

We all have them, those people who make us smile and laugh ourselves silly. I am lucky enough to have several groups of friends that provide me with endless entertainment. As a recent graduate from a degree in the Dramatic Arts these groups include those I studied with, old school friends and other random groups I have come across in my social endeavours.

To the all the old school friends who went through the hell of a borderline military school with me; it is with you that I share many memmories. Memmories the first almost everything from dances, boyfriends and horrific algebra exams. Always managing to see the bright and usually quite crazy side. Who else would think of having a Kiddies party after our last matric exam.

Then came all those eccentric people who chose the Dramatic Arts as the degree. A small department, everyone knew everyone which was both a blessing and a curse. We sang and "moved" our way through three years. No, posing as living statues next to the road at varsity just for the fun of it, isn't normal nor is singing ABBA as loud as possible down a public but its us. Spending 8:30am till 2am on campus with just each other does tend to make for a crazy and an entertaining experience for both the audience and the actors.

The various random social groups I have found myself in over the past few years have also been a source of countless entertainment. In many cases I have found myself the lone drama student amongst BComs, law and even engineering students. This last one is especially one to note, the numerous evenings in a friends flat have provided numerous 'sugar induced hyperness' spells. The 'mutual friend' has been able to introduce me to many people who I now hold very dear. Although we are so different, almost complete opposites, we have found comman ground which we both enjoy lving on.

So to all my, friends, the entertaining people in my life; those I hold so dear. Thank you and let the craziness continue because normal is overated!
