So I heard you like updates...

**NOTE**
This page used to be the go to characters list. Now there is a Cast of Characters page on the right hand side of the blog for all the characters I have written about. This page also has some good quotes further down, so its still worth a read! -JTY

So it turns out, in residential life at a school with a quarter system... September is a very busy month, hence the lack of updates.

so before i give any updates i feel the need to compile a list of nicknames i've created thus far. this is part due the fact that i don't remember who i'm calling what and also because some people have demanded or necessitated renames. Plus i'm beginning to suspect that some of you only read my blog for the nicknames ;)

The cast (in rough order of appearance)

Maniac Magee (my boss) AKA JD who wished for a new name. wish granted: Naysayer P. Squirrel (the P stands for porpoisephone)
Clark Gable (one of my roommates)

Penny (Jordan's fiance)
Diet Lemonade (she's a nutritionist or dietitian or something healthy)
Santa Claus (another boss of mine)

P-Diddy (i still laugh at her name... a friend from school, she lived in Singapore for a while)
Yellow Piggy (a friend and former staff member when I was a student)

As it is getting late, I'm probably not going to continue my summer updates here. Instead I'm going to leave a bunch of quotes I have sitting around and do another update later this week. I'm feeling productive so I feel like that is not an empty promise.

on to the quotes:

"If I ate your head, would you run around like a chicken?" -I associate this with Yellow Piggy. I'm not sure why.

"I can drive the cart. It's just those bystander people things... I mean it does have insurance..." -Naysayer P. Squirrel

"Porpoise phone? Do you mean Persephone?" Banana Slug to Naysayer P. Squirrel on discussing Percy Jackson.

These next few end up having a running theme that makes fun of me. Let me set the scene though:

This isn't a quote but just a moment that makes me laugh. Brock is lying on our futon, sucking on a champagne bottle and talking nonsense. Suddenly, he has a thought and gets excited. "Wait..." he starts and then forgets to hold the champagne bottle and drops it onto his head. "Ow...." he says, surprised. Bystander laughter ensues.

Later, I had another foot in mouth moment: 'Does anyone ever have those moments where they're like, 'Damn I'm long'" (I was commenting on the length of my arm... facepalm)

I don't even know the context for this one but it was one of Brock's many non sequitors :
Brock- "Yea, it's hard getting drunk with pregnant people"

Another random by Brock, I think the bottle knocked him senseless- "Oh! I can't write down all the people I've had sex with unless I have 6 hours on a train with Aderol"

Alejandro- "James, you're gunna have to be enough of a girl for both of us" (sigh)

Tenshi- "Just when you think James is really innocent, he lies" (the context for this was about how i play board games and whatnot... it was a bad quote night for me...)

To wrap up the night and the James-related quotes, Brock says, "I feel like we're giving his (James') Eulogy. But he's not dead... He's standing right there..."

That will do it for now. Goodnight!

Listening to: "Privilege" by Incubus, who I like a lot better after I saw them in concert in Utah last summer.

Reading: JLA comic books... I've been in the mood for superhero stories of late and DC has met my needs.

Playing: Spam Boa and I had a nice streak going in SC2 but L4D2 just got new DLC... guess I'll just hafta keep playing both.
