Freaks, Droogs, and Other InHumans
(in no particular
order)
Friends are a weird thing. I don't really know about friends. You think
someone is your friend and then they sell you out or just blow you off
or spend a year lying to you about something so important that when they
finally tell you, it rips your heart in two. I really consider myself
to have very few real friends. Don't get me wrong -- I like people a lot,
and always enjoy being around people. But I don't necessarily trust anyone.
Whenever I try to, I just end up sorry I ever bothered.
Ricky and I dated
for 8 years. He lives in Prague.
Anthony is
a serious problem. I love him one minute and hate him the next. Believe
you me, he deserves to be hated. He claims to be my best friend, and
he seems to think he's my boyfriend. Would that he would act like it.
Alicia
is my partner in Taking Over the World. She has recently returned from
a tour of duty in San Francisco, and is no doubt ready to continue her
World Taking Over activites, unabated.
Amanda
is a very good artist. I used to think she was the best friend I'd ever
had, but lately I've had reason to call that into question. She lives
in Minnesota.
Donya,
predictably, lives in Seattle now. We went to Germany
and Prague together.
Jeff is a wonderful photographer and a really sarky guy.
Chad is the
nicest guy in the known universe. I was his Best Person in his wedding
to Tracy.
Emily
lives in MN., and I only really know her from the Utah.Goth list but
I like her a lot.
Tim
is someone I met when we were 15.
Robbie and I met
circa 1988.
Visual Mark
(Gary) is from my PMC-MOO days. Brilliant, witty, and a hell of a phreak.
Green Candle is another wacky PMC-MOO one. Just don't ever dare her to wiz on you.
Elmo (Chad)
is someone I met online but really got close to after we met in person.
There was chemistry there.
Sedate (Tosh) is just this guy, you know?
Bookish is
a popular revolution icon, the kind who will be waving red flags in
the street outside of his bookstore when the revolution finally gets
here.
