The Journal :: Cast of Characters


Me -- terminally cute and perky when I'm not being a ranting bitch. The cheerful demeanor usually breaks down when I'm driving in Dallas traffic (otherwise known as the ninth level of Hell) and I start swearing like Eddie Murphy in "Harlem Nights." You'd never think it to look at me, would you?

Lyndon (aka the Bodacious Brit) -- my husband, my first-line tech support and the man who rubs me after my workouts. Also a brilliant photographer and beloved of our cats.

Patrick (aka the Nathan Lane of Mid-Central Illinois) -- my best friend for, gosh, 26 years now. Patrick is available for weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, and any production of "Forever Plaid" he can get his hands on.

Stacy (aka "MOOOOOOOOOM!") -- my sister, and the one who got all the verbal wit in the family. Short, funnier than hell, has three kids, lives in Illinois where she makes fun of the other suburbanites. I don't see her nearly often enough.

Steve (aka the Man from McKinney) -- my most excellent friend, fellow fen and general partner in crime. I used to carpool with him to work, and damn, the man could drive. Of course, my nails were usually left in his upholstery, but still. . .

Mike (aka "Hollywood") -- my favorite turquoise-eyed nephew, nose tackle and all-around cool relative. Even if he did manage to do bizarre things to his iBook (such as breaking the power supply by tripping over it).
