The Characters

Last Updated: 11/22/2009

I have come to the conclusion that all the people I write about can be confusing.  They confuse myself sometimes, so I've written up this informative list.  It's in alphabetical order, which I decided would make more sense than "attractiveness" or "length of hair."

Addison - Best friend of Pike. He and I still friends, according to Addison, unless Pike and I force him to take sides.  I, personally, would never do that.

Anna - My ex-boss.  Sometimes she's great. Most of the time I felt like I needed to get away quickly.

Carolyn - My housemate, who used to annoy me sometimes by not being as laid-back as Lacey, Aimee, and myself, but I like her now. The house needs a bit of structure.

Cloudy - Me. Professional woman in her mid-twenties. A bit odd.

Corey - The owner of my company. Not to be confused with "The Company"  that my company does tech support for.

Dan - A client of mine that I like to flirt with. I don't see him anymore after my promotion, which is sad.

Everett - A friend of mine that I was into before meeting Pike. Would probably agree to marry him if he asked. He lives on the opposite side of the country.

HR Lady - A coworker that I generally get along with.

Jack - Friend of Lacey's that I tried to flirt with and ended up without my favorite pair of earrings. He is in love with Sylvia. It is definitely un-reciprocated.

Jamal - My new supervisor, who is this awesome hilarious older dude.

Joan the Cougar - Pike's most recent ex. She is ten years his senior.

Karen - One of my best friends from high school. We don't really talk anymore.

Keith - The coworker formally known as Cougar-Meat. Completely hilarious young man who tends to date women about twenty years his senior, but currently has a girlfriend his age.

Kelly - Pike's current girlfriend. Lives in the same city that Joan the Cougar lives in, but Kelly is actually closer to Pike's age. I met her before they started dating, and I actually liked her.

Lacey - My roommate and probably my best friend if I had to pick one.

Luca - Friend of Pike's and mine who lives somewhere other than The City.  Cute in the "sexy" kind of way.  Beautiful hair. We basically stopped talking since Pike and I broke up.

Mark - Corey's brother who was a big shot at some huge company and now works for our tiny organization.

Molly - My coworker and best work-friend, although we no longer share and office, which is sad. Anna loves her. Her fiance used to be roommates with Dan.

Oscar The Loud Breather - Guy I was sleeping with a while back.

Parker - Coworker that very much unfortunately has a girlfriend.

Pike - Ex.  We are still friends. He is a serial monogamist.

The Quebecois - Amazing, sexy man who is crazy about me, however he lives in Canada so we are reduced to video chat and much sexual frustration.

Redhead Boy - Boy I went on a few dates with. The romance kind of petered out before anything could actually happen.

The SR - Awesome client that I used to flirt with until I found out from Molly that he's actually gay. He's still awesome, but I don't see him anymore after my promotion.

Syliva - Lacey's friend, one of those people that everyone bends over backwards to please.

Travis - Used to be a client of mine, cute in the "I want half of your genetic markup in the DNA of my children" kind of way. Overly friendly. In a relationship. Lives in another country far far away.

Web Girl - Coworker who does most of the web work. She currently shares and office with me and she talks nonstop.

Web Guy - He's my coworker that is supposedly in charge of the "web team" but doesn't do much for it. He's cool though.

I might be missing some people. If I don't write about them in here, it's probably because they made such a non-impact in my life I hardly found it worthwhile.
