Who's Who in NotSoDizzy-Land
NOW UPDATED!
It has come to my attention that readers who have not been following this blog from the beginning sometimes find it hard to keep up with the identities of the constantly expanding cast of characters that inhabit NotSoDizzy-land.
So, for latecomers, vacation takers, and just plain slackers, here's the run down (now divided by geography and species):
In the UK:
BatterseaEmma (aka EmmaWithTheStalkers): Friend of Author since age of 16. NiceMartin is her boyfriend.
B__k: Author's long suffering younger sister, also the family travel agent.
El Ricardo: Undiscovered screenwriting-genius resident in deepest darkest Suffolk. Married to Jane: father of WeeRobbie (Author's godson).
Father: Self-evident. About to hitch himself, in Charles and Camilla-esque fashion, to TheWoman. Fortunately completely computer illiterate.
FilmGuy: A former bf of Author. Arrogant Oxford graduate, mocked at the time, but now seems on track to win best director Oscar by age forty. Author nonetheless does not harbour any regrets.
JambonGris: Castle-dwelling nearly-famous author, oarsman and man about (London) town. Has known Blog Author since hacking her (for votes in the Union election) at university.
KiltGuy: Author's immediate former bf. Currently still resident in the NotToBeSpokenOf pile, due for parole board in 2012.
Mother: self-evident. Has recently been complaining that is not featured enough in Author's Blog. However, when is featured, does not like the mentions. Hard to please.
TheNose: Possibly oldest friend of Author (since primary school). Unfortunately does not have a nose. This is one name that the Author did not invent: blame lies firmly in Author's Father's camp.
PubHound: Fellow blogger and Trennels freak. Sister of PubShy.
PubShy: Paranoid female friend of Author, has V. High Powered Job in London.
IN THE US:
Animals
NewKitty: Cat, circa five years old, with Dickensian life story of hard luck and neglect. During one chapter in his life, used to belong to DanBrown: is now sought after for adoption by NoCatDan (no relation).
SapphireTheCat: Incumbent cat, circa sixteen years old. Dark brown and shiny, a feline Brando. Has diabetes but deals with it philosophically.
Zephyr, Le Chat Extraordinaire: Hyperactive tiger striped kitty belonging to BostonKate. Occasionally cat-sat by Author.
People
ArmyBrian: 1) married to ArmyLisa. Now serving in Home Depot army.
2) married to Heather. Still in US Army: drives tanks when not instructing at WestPoint. Famous for the oar shaped hole knocked in front teeth during rowing race in Philly.
ArmyLisa: former Darden classmate, was in US Army, now doing V High Powered Job in California. Married to ArmyBrian (the one with teeth).
ArmyTom: former Darden classmate, was in US Army, now freezing butt off working in Minneapolis for Target. Hawkish on US foreign policy and English Premiership football.
AsianStudiesMeredith: Third year Darden student, hence still around in Middleofnowheresville. Still a little bruised from her encounter with CrapBrazilianGuy, but has promising potential as companion on Author's martini drinking expeditions.
BigMouthLloyd: Current supremo of Darden Rowing Club. As a joint degree student, has been at Darden since the Ark. Married to BostonKate; father of YoungWill.
BostonKate: Liberal cookie baker and all round Good Egg. Married to Lloyd; mother of YoungWill, owner of Zephyr, Chat Extraordinaire.
CFYRG (CuteFirstYearRowingGuy): First year Darden student, nice to look at, hopefully more to than just looks.
Darden: Not a person, but a graduate business school. Scene, in one way or other, of much of the drama depicted in this Blog.
EnglishJustin: friend of Author's, bizarrely met while both were taking figure skating lessons at the Middleofnowheresville ice park. Possesses uncanny abilities to repair things. Married to FrenchNathalie.
EnglishNeil: former Darden classmate, also visa-challenged. In year since graduation, has managed to move in with girlfriend, get job, resign from job, write book, get publishing contract, and apply successfully for PhD program. Note contrast to Author.
LandladyLynn: Devoted owner of SapphireTheCat, tolerant roof-provider for NewKitty and Author.
Middleofnowheresville: Small university town in Virginia not far from the Blue Ridge Mountains, where Author currently lives. Apparently extremely inaccessible to Author's UK friends and family. Also named (by KiltGuy, in rare moment of lucidity) CrapFoodsVille.
NoCatDan: A first year at Darden. Wants to acquire NewKitty. Has so far failed to pass preliminary due diligence.
RowingTurkeyGuy: English PhD student at UVA. Rows. No relation to TurkeyGuy, thank God.
SeattleTreeza: Darden classmate of Author. Has glamorous dot com job in Seattle.
ScaryCzechLady: New wife of TheSplash, now works at Darden in the careers office, but formerly was the premier bladder control expert on Long Island, NY. Has taught Author how to guzzle 28oz diet coke and then sit through entire feature film without getting up for loo.
TheSplash: Flamboyant alumni from the Darden school (class of '03). So named because of an epic Frank-Spencerish fall off boating dock into dank, freezing reservoir. Recently married to ScaryCzechLady.
TurkeyGuy: Turkey hunter (not a Guy from Turkey) from W. Va.. Went out with Author briefly, but alarm bells of many different intonations rang.
WhartonStalkerGuy: Bane of Author's life for a couple of months. Now hopefully gone for good.
