I think it would be neat if you could pose your cats all together like those group portraits for class picture day, then add labels. And you could have a grayed out list of former cats so we know which names will make you sad if we ask after those cats. But I'm doing better tracking your cats by name now... when I met you, you had 4 cats and I thought there were only 2 and you just gave them nicknames that changed periodically. Now you have like a thousand new cats that are often named after other animals. Harry Dresden has a giant dog named "Mouse" and you have a cat named "Cat" and a cat named "Squirrel". It brings to mind Hagrid's quote, "People can get a bit stupid about their pets."

Though I need a cheatsheet for your past, present, and future boyfriends first if you're making dramatis personae lists of your life. You tend to call the boyfriends by their initials and you somehow refuse to choose solely based on which letters have not been used. "seryn will be confused if I go out with you unless you change your name to Xavier." It doesn't seem unreasonable, right? And it's not like you have a ton of past boyfriends that you've remained friends with, but you've got the equivalent of {John, Jon, Johnny, Jonno, Jonathan, Jack, Jay} from the past and seem to be attracted to men named {James, Jim, Jimmy, Jimbob, Jamie, Jaime}... so when you say, "Once when I went out with J...."

It would be VERY convenient if you (and everyone else) would give the character names in the play-that-is-life more forethought.
