WYATT

WILL

nickname: mr fabulous, sir will of the chipped tooth, snaggletooth
ex-boyfriend and closet bi-sexual
hmm... will. i met will in mid-january and we began something resembling a relationship soon after. he was a heroin addict and he disappeard three months ago. he slept with my [gay] friend chris while we were broken up, which is unfortunate. because now i have to kill them both.

KEITH

nickname: keiffy, shithead
younger brother and indispensible friend.
again, you can figure out when i met him. i love my brother a lot. he was my friend when no one else was. he's away at college now and that makes me sad.

ex-coworker and bowl packer.
i met jeff working in the sweatshop that is cosi. we suffererd together, quit on the same day and enjoy constantly smoking each other up and playing old-school video games.

>>> of course, this list isn't nearly complete and will most likely change soon. i have a myseterious tendency to make friends quickly and have them disappear within 6 months or so. eventually, everyone seems to go the way of will, in other words. so...
