Chase - At first, Chase was the reason why I began an online journal. I had the biggest crush on him for a long time. His late night phone calls & unexpected visits were a constant ritual. He was a charmer, a ladies-man, an unattainable dream.
Brennan - The ever-changing, ever-amazing Brennan... He's my childhood friend & my best friend. I've adopted him as my brother, because no one knows me better (or puts up with me) like Brennan does. With only a 2-hour flight to Chicago, he entered my life once more. God bless him!
Mikey - A collection of mystery & metaphors, Mikey will forever be remembered in my heart. 1976 - 2003
Derek - Derek's a guitarist who is looking for a band, like one of the many people I've encountered in Chicago. We're just getting to know each other, but from what I've found out, I think we're going to make great friends. He's a pretty chill person, but I see a little of Chase & Clark in him (as far as being a "playa" goes).
Béseme - I thought Bés was going to be different, but I guess I can't have high expectations in people. Bés turned out to be the stupid bitch who infected Clark. How could I have been so foolish to befriend someone like this? This is my warning to all men (possibly women, too). Don't let her infect you, too!
Clark - Clark is facing an uncertain future. In 2002, he was diagnosed with HIV & he is still battling with the truth. I'm hoping that his free spirit & adventurous character will help him through this. Clark is one of my biggest inspirations in life, because he continuously reminds me that life is to be lived day-to-day, with a smile.
Jamie - He was just beginning to explore life, to live out the childhood he was sheltered from. He was just a neophyte to our guiltless religion. We had expectations, but we never expected that he would get his girlfriend pregnant. Jamie & I have severed ties, but not permanently. I only wish the best for him & hope that, someday, he will be my teacher of parenthood.
Jackie - The mother of Jamie's offspring, Summer. From what I've gathered, in the short moments I've spoken to her, she's a bright, intelligent girl. But, just because she's smart in an intelligent manner, doesn't mean she isn't smart in a shrewd manner. We have a silent dislike towards each other, but I refuse to let that get in the way of my friendship with Jamie. I hope she knows how lucky she is to have such a wonderful boyfriend.
Pete - Pete moved to Montana with his long-time girlfriend, now wife. He was the hearts & roses of our group - the only one who knew how to treat a woman right. If only he stayed around longer, maybe he would've taught a thing or two to the rest of my boys. Lord knows, they need a few lessons in romance!
Claire - Beautiful, sweet Claire... The woman who swept Pete off his feet & stole him away from us. If only I held her grace, maybe Pete would've fell in love with me. =P I'm glad they found one another. Their relationship only proves to me that truelove exists & that I just have to be patient for my soul mate to cross my path.
The Wagnors - Sometimes, I wonder why they haven't adopted me yet. Clark's parents are the most adorable couple on Earth! I love their Fargo accents & their anecdotes of baby Clark! If they were a sweet snack, I'd have a toothache. They're just so sweet!
Dad - corporate c.e.o. monster who likes to squish ants from the top of his building
Mom - cold creature who only gives love if you buy her something
Sucky - my ex. he seemed like a nice guy until that K.O. I will never forgive him for that & I pray for the future women in his life.
Jerry - Claire's friend/co-worker. We only met twice, but he seemed nice.
Dalia - she used to be my best friend. Unfortunately, Dalia hates me right now. I caught her abusive boyfriend sleeping with someone else & when I told her, Dalia didn't believe me. She reminds me of "Audrie" from Dawson's Creek, but she's not as insightful or gutsy.
John - he's Dalia's over-jealous girlfriend-beater. If I ever run into him, he's toast!
Jimmy - to quote him would be better than trying to explain him, so here: "I'm worth more than a pretty penny, honey. I'm like a Cracker Jack prize - if you want my lovin', you gotta eat your way down to the bottom!" Did I mention that he's gay? Hee-hee!
Vija - Chase's soon-to-be ex-wife. WoW! Does that sound ever so strange! She's milling around, delaying the divorce with her unreasonable demands. When will it end!
Emerald - Brennan's ex-girlfriend, who was pretty cool in the beginning. She landed Brennan an awesome job working sound for Peter Gabriel, but once the tour started, she didn't want him to continue working for the tour. Why? You ask? She missed him while he was gone & became paranoid that he was sleeping around while on tour. Go figures!
Todd - My first "perfect" relationship. Todd was just about everything I wanted in a guy. The only problem was, he moved away to New York & came back to visit with his new girlfriend. Often, I wonder what would've happened if I went to New York with him. Then again, I didn't. It just wasn't meant to be.
Tasha - Tasha is Eric's strong-minded girlfriend. She's quite pleasant when it's just her & I, but when anyone else is around, Tasha becomes a completely different person. She says what's on her mind & throws in a multitude of curse words in-between. I haven't decided what I think of her, yet.
Jessica - There is only one word to describe this girl: Hellion! I just can't do it! I can't explain this mess of a person! You figure it out!
Alex (a.k.a. Lex) - If there ever was a person to prove that dreams can come true, Alex would be just that! Though, he's no longer around, Lex's ambition is such a great influence on me. He dropped out of Law School to pursue his dream to become a great musician. You're on your way, Lex! Don't stop until you bring home a Grammy!
Eric - Although, I don't know him very well, I've determined that Eric is a guy who stands by his convictions. He has yet to teach me something about life.
Oli - Oli's such a character! He has a great sense of humor & a zest for life. The only problem is, he's dating the Devil's Concubine, Jessica. They're a contradiction of each other, she's malicious & he's good-natured. I don't get it. I guess it's true that opposites attract!
Heissler - I've only just met him. We call him by his last name, so he's Heissler. Heissler is quite a character! I enjoy partying with him!
