Nicknames

It occurred to me that I want to reference people in my life but it seems very inappropriate to use names so instead I'm going to use fairy tale characters because I LOVE fairy tales. These will be based entirely on random quirks and not personality at all.

College friends

Aurora: Named such because she is one of the lightest sleepers I know. Engaged to Grumpy, wants to work in international programs for colleges as well as write and photograph. Both of which she is brilliant at.

Grumpy: because he loves Grumpy. He actually has a coffee mug to prove it. Engaged to Aurora. Also has the traveling bug as he spent a semester in Austria. He also studied international business.

Little Red: because she has amazing "grandma" stories. In a long term relationship with someone I'll call the Matrix because he's freaky good with computers. She is also a writer and is excited for the day she can be a stay at home mom and write the day away.

Jack: of Jack and the Beanstalk because he is climbing a ladder of success as an actor at Actor's Theatre of Louisville right now.

Seattle friends

Cinderella: because she works too hard. Another aspiring theatre person although she is on the stage and production management side.

Aladdin: because he will belt "Whole New World" anytime anywhere. A young gay actor and stage manager.

Thumbelina: because she uses her fingers to work magic on a light board. She works as an electrician in the Seattle area and I consider her a bit of a role model.

Pied Piper: because he is a sound guy. He works on sounds all around the city and is a student at Art Institute of Seattle. He is also my neighbor.

Family

Mommy
Daddy
Monkey: my sister, it's a nickname.

I may add more later and maybe not under the same theme but these are the people who will be most likely to appear.

And I, of course, remain Mistress Medley.
