Friends 1: Callum Webster (The miraculous twenty first post)

My friend Callum Webster has suggested I start writing posts about my new friends. So, I have decided to begin with him! Webster is undoubtedly a very cool guy. Here are some quick facts about him: he's very tall, he's very thin, he's very loud, he's very entertaining, he's really not afraid to offend, his five minute long rants leave us in tears as we attempt to recover from the fits of laughter we are in, and he's also not afraid to befriend the strange new guy from a distant land who has a beard, which is how I met him. I was sitting in one of my first free's of a new school year in a brand new school, when he and his group of friends sat down with me. He decided that it would be quite cool to keep hanging around with me (for reasons I don't understand still to this day). So, he proceeded to find me every free from that point on and make a point of chilling out with me. This was incredible, as I never was very good at making new friends. The fact that this dude had gone out of his way to befriend me actually quite touched me. Steadily I became part of his brotherhood of friends. I steadily grew to love this guy; his antics never failed to make me chuckle, and he always had something positive to say about me. Callum Webster is many things (things I do not have time to write in a single blog post). However, to me, the most important thing is that he is the guy who came and sat with me on my first day in a new place where I felt strange, and showed me that I wasn't the only strange person around school.
