Actors Can be Assholes

Aaaaand confidence tested and failed.

I introduced myself as CSmith today at rehearsal.  Simple, no?  27 people, most of whom don't even know my name, and a deal is made of it.  Not a big deal, but practically the entire men's chorus introduced themselves by other names and took time to explain it, as I had been made to explain.

Kinda hurt.  Those guys are jerks.  They probably didn't mean to hurt me, but there's a certain line.  I don't know them very well, they don't know me at all, and so making jokes seemingly at my expense is wrong.

LATER: I'm beginning to smell Brussels Sprouts.  I only smell that smell when I feel INTENSELY bored or sick.  It is a smell associated with lethargy and uselessness... also being forced to watch Married with Children.

I'm sorry, but I'm confused...

in hopes of alleviating your confusion:
1) I am assisting on a rather large show this month.
2) The cast was (I think) a little mean to me that day.
3) The smell of Brussels Sprouts reminds me of Married with Children because I was forced to eat them AND forced to watch that show on the same night when I was younger.
