Here are some of the folks you may meet while you're here. The cast list keeps changing as my ever-in-flux status brings people in and out of my life. If you notice a name in the journal with no explanation, please let me know. I try to make relationships clear in my writing, but having a cast list sometimes helps when you've first come across a journal, or there's someone mentioned who hasn't been around for a while. Now here are the people you may meet along my travels: ALAN This is the probably the first boy that I truly fell in love with. It's scary to think that, or even say that, because we were only together for about two weeks. If it was a better time in both of our lives, I might have considered staying with him...but I had to let him go when I did. I will always remember him... CASSANDRA This is a girl that I no longer talk to, but have spoken a lot about. We got to be really good friends the summer of '00, but we had a falling out since then. She kind of stopped talking to me. Every once in a while, I think about her. I don't know how she's currently doing, but I hope that she's going well. I still care about her…even though she doesn't return my calls or my email. Hopefully one day, she will return back to my life. DOM This is my best friend from high school. We became best friends our sophomore year, and things have developed from there. We even dated for about 15 months…not because I was confused about my sexuality, but because I thought I really loved her. We now go to college together, and we are still the best of friends. We go through problems now and then, but things are all good. With her, we have had many days of laughter and many nights of tears, but in the end…she is a soulmate. JEFF My third roommate in college. When I first saw him, I thought that it was going to be an interesting year. He was definitely cute, but overly straight. We have a really odd relationship because all we do is give each other shit, but we get along. There are nights where we just fight, and fight, but it's the funnest time. My goal is too open his small-town-Iowa mind... For the most part, he has changed a little for the better. In the end, he's a good guy no matter how much he can get on my nerves. JOS This is Dom's roommate. This would be Dom's third roommate, but my favorite of the three. She's a small town girl, and it's sometimes really evident…but I love her nonetheless. It took me the longest time to tell her that I was gay...but I finally did it the summer after my second year of college. We've had a lot of good times together, and I'm really glad that we've become such good friends. JOSH My gay best friend from high school. We have known each other for about five years now, but we have known about each other being gay for about a year. Our friendship has gone through so much, and now we can look back and see how strong our relationship is. I think that I've gotten in more fights with him than anyone else…maybe except for Dom. He's two years older than me, and he has always been like an older brother to me. I love this guy to death. KATIE My third best friend. She is the most unique out of the three. She is my innocent, but not so innocent, "angle"….not angel. Ever since high school, my Wednesdays will never be the same because of Katie. We used to spend every Wednesday together, and it has become our day. She was the first person that I ever had to say goodbye to. But, she is the first person that I was able to perfect a long distance relationship with. I love her dearly…A & F baby… ELENI The friendship between Eleni and I has definitely evolved through the years. When I started working at the GAP, she was there...and I'm sure she will be there long after I am gone. But, in the past few years, we have really become stronger better friends. When I'm home, we spend a lot of time together. We will be a part of the old school GAP forever. This girl is wonderful, and I just wish you all could have the chance of experiencing yet...because that's the only way I can describe her...and experience. M This is my dearly beloved cousin. We grew up together, and we have a sort of love/hate relationship. We are constantly giving each other shit, but we're still family. My favorite thing to do is annoy this girl because I know she can take it and that she'll just dish it back at me. We are currently going to the same school. I used to be careful about the things that I did, but it doesn't really matter now. She pretty much knows everything that I do… SIS This is obviously my dear sister. She kind of found out that I was because of this online journal. And I guess in the end, it was for the better. We used to fight a little kids, but we've grown past that. If I really needed help in life, she would be the one I would go to. We kind of serve as a support system for each other…or so I'd like to think. I know that I would do anything for her, and I'm sure she would the same. We usually don't spend much time together anymore because I'm away…but I still think of her often. THE GIRLS I usually refer to Dom and her roommate, Jos, as the girls. They are the two that I spend the majority of my time with when I am at school. THE GUYS These would be my fellow brothers. Since I have joined a fraternity, these guys have become an integral part of my life. I don't know where I would be without them. I am definitely glad that I have become a part of this house, because they have all become a part of me. TONY This is an honorable mention to the person I consider my first boyfriend. Who knows if it was the first stages of any relationship, or just plain and pure puppy love...but I loved him, and I suppose that a part of me always will. Cheesy, I suppose...but true nonetheless. I wish him luck in his life...because it's just beginning.
