Good Friends:Darkside, aka
Maniac,
War,
my best friend the gentleman: my very best friend. He lives in Mesa with his parents, and
graduated from DeVry in October 2002 with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems. (If anyone in the Phoenix area is looking for a dependable programmer with a sense of humor and bonus points for stubbornness, he's your man.)
The
prehistory of how I met him, and the actual
meeting of him, were very significant in the creation of my current self. We don't spend much time together these days, but I keep in contact with him. Despite the weird unrequited love situation, both of us know what is going on, and both of us are fine with it.
Physically, he is skinny, 5'7", with dark blond hair, grey-blue eyes, glasses, and thin features. He often forgets to shave. All in all, he looks like a grown Tom Felton, and is therefore called "Malfoy Junior".
He currently works at the shit job he's had since high school, and has very little free time. Little Fayoumis adores Darkside and wishes he'd spend more time with us.
sithjawa: As well as a friend and colleague, this is my Pretty! (That translates, fairly well, to "girlfriend", though there are perhaps a few semantic differences.)
boojum met her at Harvey Mudd, and introduced us over LJ in the fall of 2002. We met in person on the last day of December in 2002, and hit it off quite merrily, with the help of a certain goddess of chaos and discord.
swallowtayle:
swallowtayle and I met a little after August 30, 1982. I remember that there was this big dark hallway with the cold dark lights (fluorescent, duh), and then I got to look through the window, and Gamer Aunt pointed out that the baby in the blue blanket
right there was my sister. There was also a teeny baby in this plastic box over to the left, deeper inside the room, and somebody was doing something to that baby. I adored her until she was big enough to crawl through my toys, and we had an on-and-off relationship from that point on. Now that we're both adults, we're more reliably friends. She is a musician, and has more of a wild and interesting social life than I do.
votania: Besides being roommate, co-parent, and non-biological sister, she's a friend.
marxdarx: Again, not only roommate, co-parent, and some form of not-legally-approved brother-in-law, but friend too.
iroshi: my Priestess-confessor, a friend and colleague. From certain organizational viewpoints, she and I would be considered cousins, though there is no known biological relationship. One of the principals in the Texas crew.
Dawn, A*, Aurora: The
friend of Darkside and Neighbor who is now a friend of mine. She and I conspire about my ongoing courtship of Darkside. She got married on
January 4, 2003, to yet another Dave, and we stay in contact via phone regularly.
ralmathon, aka
Neighbor,
the Oak Prince: Until September 2002, he lived in our apartment complex; until approximately June 2003, he lived close by. He was often over to game and baby-sit. We both attended
UAF at the same time, the spring of 1999, but never really met until we crashed into each other via Dawn. Little Fayoumis adores
ralmathon. He was a Lab Guy at DeVry until the Fall 2002 tri. He and Darkside are friends, if somewhat distantly.
boojum: Introduced to me by
pyrogenic in 1995, when they were dating. Became friends. Lost touch in 1998; gained touch again in 2002 through
the List and LJ.
amberfox:
iroshi's Second, and another one of the Texas crew.
Dave (Dave-in-Ohio)/
godai: an online friend, another of a large collection of Davids.
wibbble: Friend, colleague, all-around nice guy. Husband of
elance.
elance: One of the sweetest girls in the world. Used to live in Phoenix; moved to Texas to be with
iroshi, and will be in Scotland fairly shortly to live with her husband
wibbble.
shywickedpixie: A friend of
crisavec and fellow Alaskan. When apart, she and I are perfectly sensible young women. Put us together, and hilarity ensues. Much hilarity. Much,
much hilarity. Also a colleague.
rainstorm13: Friend, colleague. We haven't yet tested our weirdness in person.
witchofrock: The mastermind behind
phoenixglambomb, and nearly all of my Arizona social life. Wacky. Another mother. Wears wings.
Other close people and those around...Clover: A former co-worker of
votania's. She comes by the Temple and chills and we gossip. Has a husband and teenage son, not to mention the menagerie.
gremliness: One of those nifty LJ people who wound up showing up in the spring of 2003. Since she's in another state, she doesn't spend half enough time here. She brought
eris_raven together with me again!
othercat: One of the Sith Academy people from back in the day.
yaksha42: Ex-boyfriend and sometimes babysitter. Schoolmate. Currently a neighbor, but will be moving soon.
eng1ne,
nilodlien,
popefelix: Friends who are usually up for a late-night chat.
onyxrising: Old buddy from Alaska.
pyrogenic: Old friend from CTY.
