who is who

Tom. Coolest person i know. When i'm next to him, i'm at home. I call him Tom here because he reminds me of Tom Sawyer. And Peter Pan. And Will Hunting. It all depends on the weather.

Mum. Well, mum is mum. Enough said. Or probably not. She is always there, and her presence in my life is very, very strong. Wise but not patronizing, caring but not overprotective, graceful but i don't look like her.

Mountain family. That's my sister, her boyfriend and their two daughters, the M&Ms. Siz is my only sister, she's six years older than me and a total role model. We haven't had a fight since i was 14. She's married to Victor: funny, shy, smart and a big fan of gizmos. The little ones are 4 and 8 years old. Whatever they end up doing in life, i'm sure they'll be stars at it.

Girrrls. The girlfriends. One of them, Morgana, is the proud mother of a baby girl and i get to be godmother. My heart jumped when i learned that and it still dances from time to time. The other one, Six, is curently a hormone turbine trying to sort out her emotions, probably the one thing she doesn't control in her life. I wish i were more like her. Last but not least, my girls beyond frontiers: LovelyV (lifetime pal, confident) and Lynch: the most inspiring person i know.

Fred. Tom's best friend in Madrid, maybe in the whole world. We love him. He's incredibly intelligent, sweet, mad about computers and what you can get out of them, and a bookworm. Also, the best company for a crazy night in town.

Dixie and Trixie. They came together with the Tom-pack. Two girls, full of glamour and tenderness, who used to go to University with him. We are inseparable now. The 3 of us get together to fix the world through the current affairs section of the newspapers, drink wine and smoke our hearts out. You'll want toa window if you join us.

Kurt and Marc. They're bold, they're witty, they're irreplaceable. Marc can take your whole life over if you let him, without losing his sweet smile and a strong sense of friendship. Kurt was born talking and he's still at it. His conversation is a grateful mess of the funniest jokes and intelligent remarks. He should be a proffesional writer, but he makes more $$$ at the trade market. No, i won't blame him.

Boyz. First there's H and F. What can i say. We met back in 1992, in class. F is Italian or almost, seems like a tough careless guy but i would trust my life with him. H is vulnerable, somewhat disturbing and with an easy smile. Pau is a painter who doesn't really paint anymore. He is beautiful inside but extremely fragile. Nick is naughty and loving, and that's a dangerous combination.

Resident evil. I have two male bosses and this name is applicable to both. I work at a newspaper. I want to write more. They won't let me do that because i'm more useful to them where i am. This has given me a lot of anxiety attacks for the past 3 years. One day i'll be able to get them off this list, but unfortunatly they must stay for the time being...

Many more. Of course there are others. More friends, some co-workers and passers-by. They'll show up as we go along.
