So, you have decided you must know a bit about the inhabitants of my world...

Bootsie ......

Mom ......

Um -- she�s my mom. Very sarcastic, very witty, very strict.

Omnipotent yutz. Thinks he knows everything. Has a fianc�e, Ivy, and two kids--Brittany and JD (aka Lil' JD, so as not to be confused with the Evil one).

Robin ......

Murray ......

Robin's new boyfriend (she used to date Ethan the ~~not so~~ Wonderful). I don't know Murray that well yet.

Oscar ......

Ernie ......

My football buddy--we go to the UIowa games together. Met him in class. Stereotypical California surfer-dude. In Iowa (just go with it).

Evil JD ......

My most prominent ex. Very good-looking and charming. While we were dating, became engaged to my neighbor. Then he cheated on her, she married the husband of the gal he was cheating on her with, now that one is married to Jens. And EvilJD is now married to Wicked Witch, with whom he cheated on me AND Kelly AND Wanda. Got it?

Susie! ......

My chemistry teacher. She's 14! Chemistry is fun! Yay! She is almost always that flipping chipper.

"CC" Brandon/Christy/Whoever ......

The "CC" prefix denotes a fellow Chem Class student. Usually one of the Amnesiac Delinquents

From time to time, you may read of "Le Prince", my brother, or ex-brother. He was adopted by Mom at almost 8-years-old. Things went fairly well, at first. But he has a hots of physical/emotional/mental problems. Much more than we could handle--he was physically threatning and had a fascination with knives--and the adoption was disrupted in early 2004. Adisruption is legally similar to a divorce. Emotionally, a disruption is almost akin to a death. I was/am quite hurt by the ordeal, but it is best for everyone involved, including him.
