Pseudonymns (a.k.a. The Cast)

I've decided that it would be a good idea to not use any real names in my blog. In this age of identity theft, it's a good idea to minimize your Internet footprint. The less there is on the web that can be directly affiliated to you, the better.

Besides, everyone listed here will probably be the only people reading this anyways. You all know who you are, so it's not like I really even need to name names.

That being said, here's a quick list of people that will likely pop up in posts. I've made annotations to describe their relationships. If you're reading this and you're upset that I didn't add you to the list, send me an email with the alias you would like me to use for you. I'm not going to guarantee that I'll use your suggestion, but I'm lazy - so it's very likely.

Family
  • Me
  • Baby - my wife
  • Sweetie - my daughter
  • Captain Cavy - brother
  • Mom
  • Dad
  • Granny and Pa - Dad's parents, Pa is deceased
  • Grandma and Grandpa - Mom's parents, both deceased
  • Mr. Dad - father-in-law
  • Mrs. Mom - mother-in-law
  • Fargo - brother-in-law
  • Grandmere and Avo - Mrs. Mom's parents, Grandmere is deceased
  • G-ma and G-Pa - Mr. Dad's parents
I also have two step-parents, two step-brothers, and (at least) one step-sister. I doubt I'll be talking much about them though, so I haven't created aliases for them yet.

Friends
  • Polar - fraternity brother
  • Snappy - ex-co-worker
  • Bullseye - fraternity brother
I swear, I really do have more than three friends. I just don't feel like creating aliases for all of them right now. I'll make them as I need them and they'll be added to the list ad hoc.

Co-Workers
  • Homestar - president / CEO / owner
  • FattyMo - head developer
  • Darius - senior developer
  • Mannster - project manager
  • SilentSun - support manager
  • Mitko - developer
  • Capt. GayBar - business manager
  • Flip - graphics designer
  • Narrator - senior graphics designer
  • Snail - project manager
All job titles are nebulous. They can (and probably will in a few cases I can think of) be disavowed by the holder at any time. They might also be supplemented by rude and impolite pejoratives at any time the mood hits me.
