Sure, it’s copyright infringement (and DHIBJ-Dn was sick. Dawn is underage!). But, the quality of the sculpting and materials was excellent. Have they reached some compromise allowing the sale of DHIBJ-Drusila? What about DHIJB-S? I remember hearing that James Marsters was fine with that.

a. Dawn is now **of** age. 😃

b. The DHIBJ-Darla has some production problems…it keeps turning to dust.

c. Remember, the heating systems are only installed on the DHIBJ - (Human SourceCode) units. The - (VampSourceCode) units are _supposed_ to be cold!

d. The -S unit is back-ordered through January 2086.

I don’t keep a list or anything, but I have some categories in my mind . . .

Baltimore ( **av8er** , **BiblioCat** , **Mhendo** & **Ginger** , **UrbanChic** )

Black ( **UrbanChic** , **monstro** , **BigGirl**?)

Funny ( **lieu** )

Gay ( **matt\_mcl** , others)

Teenage ( **START** , **NinjaChick** )

Conservative ( **rjung** , **Airman** , **Abbie** , others)

Connected ( **elfbabe** and **qagdop** , **mhendo** & **Ginger** , **Sniffs\_Markers** & **Eats\_Crayons** , **Robyn** & **Airman** or **Abbie** & **Airman** (can’t remember))

Psycho ( **torie** )

Miscellaneous ( **RickJay** knows a lot about sports and argues well – and has a name like **RickyJay** and knows his Mamet movies. One tends to remember **Eve** )

The only anecdotes I remember are ones I read recently. I don’t really think about the other names on any sort of “personal” level – like that they’re people with lives. Just posters staisfying certain categories.

Those are the first that come to me… I can probably dredge up more from the bottomless abyss that is my memory. A few facts have been omitted, as I thought it inappropriate to repeat them here.

I remember a couple of things that haven’t been mentioned yet: You have a son and daughter. You threw up in church while you were pregnant with one of them, and it got in someone’s hair. You have an eight? year old dog that you considered sending to daycare. You and your husband combined parts of your fathers’s names to make a new name for your son.

**START** , you’re a teenager, a Christian and biracial. You have lots of siblings, one has green eyes and an afro, another? might be smoking marijuana.

Angua, didn’t you help, or try to help your brother with math(s)? You’re also have Indian heritage IIRC.

Shirley Ujest: Your brothers were on tv with Jerry Lee? Lewis (I always get them mixed up :o ) and you believe/believed in reincarnation.

Oops, everyone was supposed to have their name bolded, not just **START**. I also meant to say, that like others, I have no file, I just remember random things. This is very annoying in real life when you run into someone that you chatted with a few times several years ago, and you remember their life story, while they barely remember your name.
