i ain't no harlem black girl

my best friend on the planet, marisol, told me a story recently about when she first saw gwen stefani perform her hit single "hollaback girl." apparently is was a live performance (possibly snl) and mari was having a difficult time deciphering what it was gwen was singing. she was quite disturbed because she could have sworn she heard gwen sayin, "i ain't no harlem black girl." ha ha ha ha =D when she told me that i laughed so hard!

i've decided that it's high time i help everyone out and develop an official "cast of characters". please note, i have given myself artistic license to change character names at any time, should a more suitable name present itself at a later date. well, on with the list.

my life as a dramedy
cast of characters (in no particular order)

sonny - the guy all the girls like. physically, he's everything i dig. spiritually, appears to be quite mature. some people think we may be too similar but most are interested in seeing what kind of sparks would fly. oh, and the best part, he's my age.

kermit (kermey) - huge former crush. occassionaly i find myself wondering if we'll ever cross paths. excellent artist/songwriter. i consider him my muse simply because he inspires me to write songs, even when he's not around. i almost changed his name to arthur but thought better of it.

daniel cleaver - the guy that shows a lot of interest when i'm in front of his face, or could potentially be near, but doesn't really put forth any effort. he's got a great personality, and is an excellent flirt (and rumor has it that he's a great kisser, although i couldn't confirm that through first hand knowledge). his spiritual maturity leaves a great deal to be desired. on my myspace blog, i did call him moe at one point.

shel - my "almost perfect, but not quite" guy, thus the name shel, in recognition of one of my favorite poets, shel silverstein, who wrote a poem called, "almost perfect". shel is an amazing man. he's very mature, only a few years younger than me, and deeply spiritual. unfortunately his spirituality is based upon beliefs that are vastly different from my own. therefore, he's "almost perfect, but not quite."

gilbert - gilbert and i are kindred spirits. we have the same visions, the same ideas, and, at times, we even know what the other is thinking. we're just not attracted to each other in that way. plus, even with all of his spiritual maturity, he's still outside of my self-imposed age limit. that limit is 23.

prof. baer - this is the guy i connect with on an intellectual level. while neither of us is interested in the other, i find it refreshing to be able to have conversation with someone who, quite possibly, could be smarter than i am. someone i know could hold their own if they were to meet my family, and wouldn't be intimidated by our intellect.

well, there are more, i am sure, but i'm tired and i need my beauty rest ;-D
