About Me
- Name: Aunt B
- Location: Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Like Donnell Alexander says, "It's about completing the task of living with enough spontaneity to splurge some of it on bystanders, to share with others working through their own travails a little of your bonus life." But, it's mostly the kind of place that folks looking for "girls and cars" stumble across by accident.

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
Aunt B.--Your kind host.The Butcher--My youngest brother, who lives with me and works as, you guessed it, a butcher. He knows everyone in town.
The Recalcitrant Brother--Our middle brother, who lives in rural Georgia and has a kind of movie star life, if that movie star is Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
The Reverend--Our Dad, a Methodist minister, perpetually three years from retirement.
Mom--Our Mom. She doesn't get a funny nickname because our mom will not stand for funny nicknames.
Mrs. Wigglebottom--My dog. She's got terrible manners.
The Corporate Shill--Or The Shill, as we call her. My friend from college who was constantly getting me into trouble and going to parties she neglected to tell me about where cute boys would ask her "Where's Aunt B.?"
The Legal Eagle--The Shill's husband.
The Super Genius--She lived next door to me my freshman year of college and we've been friends ever since my first day on the floor.
Miss J.--My first adult friend, meaning the first lasting friendship I made after college. She was my roommate in grad school.
Her Lover--Her Husband.
The Divine Ms. B.--Miss J.'s sister and one of my heroes, because she's brave and funny and mystic and fearless.
JR--My oldest friend. I've known her since I was in the second grade.
Elias--JR's husband and the person who's musical tastes have most strongly affected my own. Oh, how I long to be cooler than him!
The Professor--My closest friend here in Nashville. She's a genius, but she'll never tell you that.
The Man from GM--I've known him since I was 16 and he still hasn't forgiven me for telling him I was a vegetarian when I wasn't.
The Redheaded Kid--No one knows where he comes from or where he goes when he leaves here. I assume he's the Butcher's friend. The Butcher assumes he's mine.

Shit, I'd be happy to call you except for the fact that I am not privy to your phone number.
I will do anything to spare myself or my fellow Citizens of Earth against the evil task that is the cleaning of the bathroom. Vile, vile bathrooms! Especially ones that men and boys use!
Thanks, Peg. The other sucky part about it is that we're apparently out of normal cleaning products, so I had to take on the whole bathroom with nothing but bleach and Dawn.
Needless to say, I declared, "Well, then, fuck mopping."
I'm going to eat some lunch and then do the dishes.
Dear Fellow Travelers,
I'm in the same boat. I finally got up the gumption to throw in a load of laundry. The house is still trashed from the drunken revelry of Friday night. I'm completely unmotivated to do any of it.
I wonder if there's any gin left?
If there's gin, there'd better be some drunken blogging about your underwear. It's what your readers demand.
I don't think there's that much gin left; besides, I try to limit my drinking and up-latedness on schoolnights, as you know.
