I’m twice divorced, moved cross country to live with my father, and while I do not practice my chosen career anymore, I do use it to earn a living on a daily basis. ---

> [@RobuSensei](#): > > I was alone in the dorm, minding the phone like the upperclassmen asked/told me to do. After I took a message for the head of the auto club, I tried to call him and tell him about it. By some stroke of luck, I dialed a wrong number, and got this incredibly hot girl on the line. How do I know she was hot? She immediately came over to keep me company! However, it was a men’s dorm, and what with one thing and another, I got kicked out, and ended up moving into this old house with the divinely beautiful girl, and her two meddling sisters. Registered because I couldn’t take it anymore! Keiichi from Ah! My Goddess! ---

I can’t think of any other white trash characters whose mother and grandmother are integral to the plot (any4) I am always striving to be more than I am, even tho I am already faster, stronger, and smarter than my colleagues.

> [@JustAnotherGeek](#): > > (Hi Mimi.) This post was not there when I started writing mine. Stupid attempting to come up with a clue. OK, here’s one… I have a laundry list of phychological ‘issues’ - ranging from ADD to pyromania. My parents have a lively sex life despite my father’s physical infirmities. I suspect one of my brothers may be gay. The other definitely is not. My younger sister is the ‘normal’ one in the family. Relatively speaking, that is. (And with my relatives…) I was actually happy when my father lost his health insurrance. ---

Haven’t seen the show, but I am guessing Alias… Another hint > [@me](#): > > > [@me](#): > > > > 4.) I need to get this briefcase for this girl. First, I had to get this obnoxious kid off the team, but now I’ve been betrayed by the computer geek. I could really use the money from this heist, tho; so I’m gonna get it. > > Here’s a little more about me: > > I may or may not be military. In fact, I may or may not be a whole lot of different things. I did go through interrogation once. They finally broke me with a grasshopper. What’s a grasshopper, you ask? Well, it’s two parts gin, one part brandy, one part creme de menthe… I’m an American, but I am working with an ex-KGB (who fucked us), an Irish girl, an American who’s a good driver, a frenchman (who turns out to be alright), and a wanker who claims to be ex-SAS. I ambushed him with a cup of coffee; got him off the team team before he could get me killed. If you guys don’t get this one in another day, I’ll post the answer. I don’t want to give away too much more, because it’s a _really damn good_ movie. You should see it, if you haven’t. It’s been called the thinking man’s action movie. ---
