On SAPA and my second family

[srgmatt]

Amidst the unpleasantness generally afflicting the world, many of my friends, and some of my family - and me personally, I struggle to sometimes count my blessings. A posting on a friend's LJ about how her SAPA training helped her, and another's remembrences of our past few years on Cast got me thinking about how being SAPA has drastically changed

Before I got on cast I was almost deathly shy. Stop laughing, I was! Heck, I still have quite a bit of those old habits, but no where near what I was like at school before. I had always been the slightly nerdy, quiet girl in the corner.

Now there are times I have to remind myself that some places do still require filters *snerk* I completely see SAPA as part of my family, and I am closer to many on SAPA more then I am to my actual family. (This only makes me sad when it's true for people like my brother.)

I don't know where I would be if I hadn't had SAPA all these years. Certainly not as confident as I am, or at least I'd care more what people think.

Plus it always handy to blame any slip of the tongue on Improv. :D
