Character Profiles
I have begun undertaking a project which might wind up taking months to complete; namely the utilization of Bloggers "pages" to link the names of the characters who appear in this blog to a short biography and an explanation of how the person relates to me.
Testing, One, Two
It is Thursday morning, and I woke up with about 10 bucks on me; and with Leslie laying in the mulch nearby.
He had arrived sometime during the early morning.
Here's how it should work:
To see whom those might be is as easy as checking the "cloud" of labels in the right hand sidebar, entitled "for more info on," or something.
Amy
Amy is a girl whom I have never seen doing anything but asking people for money.
She is always on Royal Street; leading me to suspect that there is a problem with her being on Bourbon Street.
She uses her smile upon men when asking for money, and she often cries; and cries very loudly. Her cries carry at least a block.
Leslie seems to like Amy a lot, despite the "bi-polar" nature of her which has her bawling loudly one minute and screaming angrily the next.
"You're trying to rape me!!" is something which seems to be a recurrent theme with her; and which she may yell at any time to any man in any situation.
I avoid her.
She basically ignores me.
For Crying Out Loud; At Least Produce Tears!
There is another, very similar, lady who is seen on Canal Street all the time; who puts an expression on her face which would make one think that she is about to cry; but she doesn't produce tears.
When she goes into The Unique Boutique or McDonalds to redeem her pity bucks; she is no longer the emotional equivalent of a 5 year old girl; but rather orders her meal succinctly and with very specific directives as to its preparation; and knows exactly how much change she is due.
I've seen that one rolling a blunt before, and doing it very expertly; when she was taking a break from sitting on the sidewalk and looking like she was about to cry.
Amy, to her "credit," at least produces tears.

Here's how it should work:
{Clicking upon Leslies name should carry you to a stand alone page of biographical information -in its infancy right now- about Leslie Thompson}There are only 20 pages available for each blog, and so I will use the label feature to count the frequency with which I have labelled people, and the top 20 people will each get their own biographical pages, eventually. How cool is that?

The character bio idea is pure genius!
ReplyDeletewhy, thank you; it's an ambitious project but will help organize things; along with my pruning old posts of trivial details -if I barely remember a person 3 years hence; then they weren't significant in the Big Picture; and off to the bit bucket they would go
ReplyDeleteI've seen the crying type panhandler on YouTube back when I could actually view videos. When I was panhandling for a few months in 2008, I was the cheerful type, in fact a few donors commented that I seems so darned happy about my situation. Better that than a bunch of tears, I figure.
ReplyDeleteIf you're not going to get going with the music thing, I suggest panhandling. You don't have it together enough to work a job, and your permanent scowl is a turn off *unless* you can come up with humorous signs like "Someone shit in my Wheaties this morning, anything helps".
