these are my people

Only a handful of my peeps are from ohio, i take in strays occasionaly. case in point, andy is from nebraska (which is what most people think of when they think of ohio) and ryan is from montana (which most people dont really think about at all!). you just gotta be down with the cause is all. i'm a bleeding heart you see. if you can make a good case for your ohio-style ways, you might win some buckeys*

*referring to the peanut butter and chocolate buckeye looking like cookies that are apparently a regional thing (ohio) because no one in sodom by the bay seems to know what im talking about. NOT referring to the buckeye nut thing from buckeye trees, nor am i referring to an ohio state 'buckeye'.

Andy is a corn husker from nebraska. his dad owns a truck stop empire. one day i will tap him for dirty dirty truck stop empire stories. his mom teaches yoga in nebraska, which is not very ohio-style

christine is glamorous and when we met in her ohio apartment a long time ago when i lived in an ohio apartment, i threw up on her couch after playing a short game of twister. she likes to talk dirty and call me a t-hole.

back in the heady 'bomb squad' days of 98-99 there was a lil thing called brandi-style. B. is from marryland, which is not far from ohio. before moving to brooklyn she would eat pretzels and salsa with me in this kitchen which is now green

sabin is being awed over in this picture. i think it's beacause he is from santa barbara and that's a long way away from ohio and ohio-like places.

Linda is looking thoughtful here, staring off toward the nakeds on baker beach (the gays like to take off their clothes). linda is ohio style. we have been friends since the 7th grade, when our singular genious-like ways met during play practice. she too lives in sodom by the bay

ryan is from missoula montana, also the home of david lynch and dana carvy. ryan likes to wrestle and pretend that he's a tough guy when i can really woop his ass

this is sarah and myself. we took really snotty high-brow classes together at OHIO STATE, stuff about french movies and another about the gays, and we didnt even know each other! we're roommates now, isnt that amazing. ohio people find each other, they really do

this is me from my 25th birthday party in april. the scientist (see below) had a funny idea to take my photo each hour of the night (with a clock in the background) to capture my progression into a bad place. this was the only one taken

this is talya. she likes to dance with other girls. im not sure where she's from, but it sure aint ohio.

this is matt being pensive in wisconsin. we were close 'roommates' for years with a cat to boot. matt is from sandusky ohio, home of a sweet amusement park that all ohio and ohio-minded types should know about so i wont even mention it's name

this is me mourning the loss of denise (see below and below/left) in her presence. she moved to brooklyn to be cute and write poems and get away from sodom by the bay

i was pushed into a bed of ice ivy here by linda (not to be confused with the ohio-style linda i met in 7th grade) and told to look sexy. my inherent sexiness inspired linda to buy a strap on later that afternoon

this is friend andrew with some aviator type whom i know nothing about. andrew spends many hours in a lab where he test things for results. so as to not confuse him with andy (see above) andrew will be known as the scientist

i've been called a ladies man and ive also been told that i live a life of lies a la jack tripper. these are my previous 'bomb squad' roommates, also known as my bitches in some circles. they are sweet girls who moved to brooklyn with brandi (see above)

this is denise (previous roommate, see left) with her boy (at the time) jericho. look at them, drinking 40s off the tub and D peeing, showing some pubeage all while smoking a cigarette - total ghetto. jericho is from somewhere and d is from buffalo new york, where she tells me lots of lesbians play pool

sean the friend is my advisor on all things homo. he convinced me to partake in the homo-type event of dying our hair (and eyebrows!), all just before our honeymoon in hawaii.

this is sarah and christine and myself. they moved in the 'bomb squad' after chrissy and janet moved out last june.

this is me looking 'latin' or something. a couple of retards (obviosuly not from ohio) told me that i looked like the guy from La Bamba who's now on NYPD Blue. im sure.
