Response to a Quote 2/26/13

Rehearsal today, but rehearsal hasn't actually started yet.  Everyone's talking with each other.

I just got done doing some homework.  I decide it's time to try and venture into conversation.

I try, without success.  No matter where I go, I just can not seem to get involved.

The sad thing is that this is typical.  It happens almost every rehearsal.  Everybody around me is having a conversation, and I'm the one who has no idea what they're talking about.  Or, I go up to people, and everyone looks at me like, "Why are you entering this conversation?"  It's just so annoying.

So, after a while without saying a word, I just go to about halfway back in the auditorium.  And I just sit there.  I don't know what I was thinking.  Maybe someone would just come and start talking to me.  I just sat there for about five minutes, and didn't do anything.  JR passed by, and didn't say anything.  I think that was the tip-off that no one was going to talk to me ever if I just sat there.  KK's advice was ringing in my head.  So I went back to where everybody was.

Within a few minutes, MF said hi.  She started a conversation.  The conversation she was previously in just kept going on like I wasn't there, but she started talking to me.

I sat down.  We had some small talk, and then she said this.

"I really like talking to you."

To my dismay, rehearsal started shortly after, but I don't think I need to elaborate on how much that meant to me.
