“My freshman roommate in college was smarter than hell, the best actor on campus, kind and wittier than anyone I knew. I remember we’d crack each other up deep into the night from the darkness of our bunks. But other than our shared sarcasm, appreciation for the liberal arts and a mild devotion to the Smiths, Depeche Mode and Erasure, we didn’t share much in common; so we fell into different sets of friends sophomore year and moved on.”
