(1) Joey Comeau, the writer (of the text) for A Softer World, also writes short stories. I am both enamored with and jealous of his skill when it comes to "writing stories about cocks", as I have previously described my own attempts.
(2) Turtle recommended that I watch RoboGeisha, and if nothing else, the hilarious dub work is worth it.
(3) It's about time I told you a little bit more about the people I have written / will write about.
***
I currently live in Rochester, NY. I'm not from there, though.
I live with two other people - Ivan, The Boyfriend, and Turtle, The Roommate. Turtle's cat Archie and her rabbit Jackie also live with us.
Ivan is about seven months older than me, from the Rochester area, and a wonderful person. That's not to say that our relationship is perfect. We're human just like everyone else, and there are things we have to work at on a regular basis to keep it going, but there's nobody else I'd rather come home to every day. (Unless I could have him as part of a live-in harem of super-hot people. Ivan, if you're reading this, can we turn the attic into a harem of super-hot people?) He's very good at drawing, he's very understanding, he's not dumb, and he has good personal hygiene. He covers all my baseline requirements for long-terms relationships, and he finds me the best youtube videos. (Example is seen here.) (Actually-well-sung versions of that song can be found here and here, with due respect to Bea Arthur.)
He is the Pumpkin to my Honey-Bunny, the Morticia to my Gomez, and one hell of a guy all around.
Turtle is about eight months younger than me, and she's a fantastic person, and even though she's only our room mate, I miss her. (If by just our roommate, I mean JUST THE BEST ROOMMATE, then that's 100% accurate.) She is my partner in the law firm of Ziggy and Turtle-Derby, Attorneys At Funk. (We are not actually lawyers. We're just funky.) She's the best baker ever, she's a pretty good cook, and she can enjoy a good shot of tequila just as much as I can. She also has impeccable taste in music.
She got me my job (the one before this one), and then we actually met and became friends.
People who don't know us mistake us for siblings (or at least relatives) from how stupid we act around each other.
Archie, her cat, is ADORABLE, but fatally stupid. (She may also be the Antichrist, but that's another story for another time.)
Jackie is Turtle's rabbit. She doesn't venture out of her cage much. That's about all we have to say about her.
Tami is my best friend in the whole world, even though I don't see him often anymore. (He lives in Buffalo, where I'm from.) (Yes, Tami is a he, and is not a drag queen or a transsexual. Yes, it's pronounced Tammy.) I miss him terribly, and we have the weirdest inside jokes ever. During the year I lived in Michigan, we would talk on the phone and watch Conan O'Brien every night. I used to stay at his house practically every weekend when I moved back to Buffalo. If I ever get married, he will be my best man. Yes, I'm a lady, and he will be my best man. There are certain songs that I like because they remind me of driving around in the car with him.
Aside from Ivan, he is probably my absolute favorite male person.
Mom and Stepdad should be fairly self-explanatory names. They currently like in Michigan, where Stepdad is from. She's an esthetician, he's going to school to be a teacher. He's an only child, she's the third of four children.
They have one daughter together, my sister Bug, who is one month less than seventeen years younger than I am. She is probably the most adorable child on the planet.
I miss the three of them awfully, but I ended up hating living in Michigan more than I miss them.
Dad and Stepmom live in Syracuse. We don't have the best relationship. I'll get into it if I feel the need, but I won't bore you with it here.
They have two children together - A.L., female, nearly 11 years younger than me, and A.W., male, nearly sixteen years younger than me. (I could be doing the math wrong there. I don't know how old my brother is exactly, because I'm a bad person.)
The Baron and Lady Baron are two of (our?) best friends - they live about four blocks away from us in Rochester. (They are my friends, they are Ivan's friends, they are Turtle's friends.) He is in IT work, she is a stay-at-home girlfriend (who should not be judged poorly for that choice). They are both completely fucking awesome people.
Turtle-Boyfriend is.... Turtle's boyfriend. He's part of a theater company in Pennsyltucky who also does carpentry work. He's one of those disturbingly thin people who isn't actually anorexic. He likes Zelda games and certain forms of LARPing. (Turtle and The Baron are also members of his LARPing group.) He has fantastic hair. This is all that I know about him.
Tío Aparato is my father's youngest brother. He lives in Washington and struggled for a number of years with the fallout from a back injury, but that seems to have been improving recently. He has always been one of my favorite people.
Mačka is my uncle's... gentleman friend? I don't know. 'Boyfriend' sounds juvenile, 'life-partner' sounds robotic. I've never really asked them what label they put on it, as such. He's a cool guy, even though he's really quiet. He's also insanely smart. His quietness can be intimidating, unless you know that he's just usually like that.
Ma Cousine is my father's younger brother's oldest child. (There's three brothers there. Dad, Père Du Ma Cousine, and Tío Aparato.) She's got pretty much a full ride to AU, because she applied herself in every way that I managed to slack off in highschool. She's one of the coolest people I know.
These are all of the people that I might post about in the foreseeable future.
