much has happened in the past weeks. please find a handy study guide included.

the gang

annabelle blue: her real name, she wishes it was an alias. annabelle is one of my oldest and dearest friends, we met in senior kindergarden when she took the last red crayon and she created a mini mutiny when she broke the crayon in half so we each could have a piece. she is a redhead through and through although she has gotten tired of it so she has taken to wearing wigs depending on her mood. she likes heated debates about anything under the sun, icy blended drinks, reading between the lines, and her live in boyfriend simon.

frances hobbes-finley: is a cool blonde that is usually compaired to veronica lake. she was born into money and people can usually tell within the first few minutes of meeting her. the name is the first dead giveaway, her warm but restrained persona falls second. she is bubbly and beautiful and expects only the best for and from her friends.

alice weston: is the girl everyone gravitates to, men and women alike. she is the girl that can go through a subway station whistling and in stocking feet and by the end of the night there are at least three craigslist missed encounters dedicated to finding her. she has huge brown eyes and irresistable curls and dimples someone could drown in, her first grade teacher would be able to pick her out of a line up, after twenty plus years of non contact.

my sister, the lovely and amazing carin cartwright detailed in minor later. she is barbie personified, but made from flesh and bone and one of the warmest people i have ever met.

casey cartwright: yep. it's always hard to describe yourself without either gushing or being self deprecating. i'm taller than most men, and i've coined the term charmingly chubby as one of the ways i describe myself. i am a big girl that has become acustomed to being the friend to all men and the quirky sidekick to my slim striking girlfriends. i have been in love with the same man for a very long time, i love pulpy orange juice, collecting records, reading and the colour green.
