Cast (last updated 11/28/2006) - will update whenever I feel like it :)

Me:  Wendy, 28 31 year old single mother of one.  Born and bred in Philly.  I like spending quantity and quality time with my son, car trips, the color purple, books, movies, you name it.  I'm quite a boring person actually. 
Update 11/28/06 - Moved to Midland, MI August 2006

DJ:  My adorable child.  Currently he's 6 years old, starting 1st grade and trying any money making scheme he can think of to purchase a game, toy, or video (not specifically in that order.)  His favorites are computers, video games, reading, watching movies, and anything Nickelodeon related.  He was diagnosed with Asperger's Disorder in January 2004.  He's unique, I love that. 
Update 11/28/06 - He is now 8 years old and is the 3rd grade at an awesome school!

Pops:  DJ's number one financial backer aka as his grandfather, my father and thing in the back room :)  He moved in with us in early 2004.  He had been hospitalized frequently due to long problems.  I was tired of the jet set life (back and forth to his house, mine and the hospital.)  So, here he is.

The Woman Who Gave Birth To Me Mommy Dearest:  My mother.  She's an interesting lady.  She lives the kind of life one with child could only dream of.  She goes out every weekend and doesn't really have time for grandson.  I think she has more friends now then I have relatives.  Do I sound bitter?  There's alot of water under this bridge.  I think in the past year she's been at my house 10x.  She lives 15 minutes from me.  update:  no longer a part of my life or DJ's because she's scandalous 
Update 11/28/06 - I've allowed her back into DJ's life.  It's much better now that she lives 700 miles away:)

PIC:  My partner-in-crime, my best friend.  We really wish we could be bi or one of us a man because we each think each other are the perfect partner.  We plan to spend the rest of our lives together in separate residences wondering if we can ever find someone as good as each other.  We went to high school together and she's also DJ's godmother.

Mr. Big:  I draw a big blank when I come to him because I really don't know how to describe him.  I suppose one woulld call him my boyfriend.  He's more like my pita.  I'll be living in a nursing home still not understanding men.  Mr Big is older than me by a good many years.  I didn't know how old he was when I started dating him and then I was hooked.  So now we're going on three years and still don't know what the hell we are doing!  update:  no longer together

FMM:  Former maintenance man who I used to "talk" to.  He was evicted when he found another job outside of the apartment complex.  We're still really good friends.

Update 11/28/06 -

The Girl Next Door:  Believe it or not, I met her YEARS ago networking in an autism group.  We grew really close and I came to visit her every year in MI.  Now I live next door to her.

The Man Next Door:  Married to The Girl Next Door and is just as cool!

BFF:  He is brother to The Man Next Door and he is an awesome friend.  ALMOST makes up for not having PIC here, but in no way replacing her in my affections.  We hang out all the time. 

The Man Who Is Getting Away aka The Man:  Hell, I think I'm in love...unrequited love no less.  I hang out with him almost as much as I hang with BFF, but I'm just "one of the guys". 

The Boy 1 Next Door:  The oldest son of The Girl Next Door and stepson of The Man Next Door.  He is 10 going on 60.  He's such an old man.  He was just diagnosed with some kind of mood disorder, but we really think it's all because of his biological father.

The Boy 2 Next Door:  The son of The Girl Next Door and stepson of The Man Next Door.  He is 9 years old.  He is also diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and totally fixates on insects, animals, etc.  He is a complete wealth of information!

The Girl 1 Next Door:  The daughter of The Girl Next Door and The Man Next Door.  She's 4 and she KNOWS she's a princess.  But she's absolutely adorable.

The Girl 2 Next Door:  The youngest daughter of The Girl Next Door and The Man Next Door.  They are trying for a baseball team.  She is about 18 months old and she is SO rough and tumble.
