regarding the issues of homo-sexuality, we are RPing right before the free-love movement of the sixties, so we can foreshadow that if we feel like it near the end of the rp.<br/><br/>@Blinkin & Eiselman<br/><br/>It was I that said it would make sense if Penny entered the game with a Boyfriend. Eiselman's character wanted to enter the game with a crush. I feel like we can alter those stories and come up with something. Eiselman and I have written together before as well, and if he is willing to work with me (again), we can shack up and set it up.<br/><br/>In any other case, Penny will need a Boyfriend, I can come up with something else if I have to.<br/><br/>@Everyone<br/>regarding life-long friendships. I could see Penny being life-long classmates with at least half of the cast, and in that case, she would have been friends with them as children. Further on, during her awkward self-hatred phase these (seven) people would have been the only ones who had treated her fairly/been there to listen, even when she didn't want them to. :)
