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.

What's the first thing a Vandy girl does in the morning?
Walks home.
I think that's wise--combining an active social life with exercise.
Those Vandy girls are so smart... I must find one and see if she can explain the chocolate on my right foot... And shoot, if she's game, she can lick it off.
I'd invite you to watch, but I know how uncomfortable you'd be watching a girl half your age running her tongue along my foot.
And we're all about insuring the comfort of our guests here at Tiny Cat Pants.
Are you sure that is chocolate?
Yes, I'm sure it's chocolate.
I'm not yet so old that I'm shitting on myself. I think that I've got another eight years before I have to worry about that.
Shoot, I think any evening that includes your cute boy grinning like that is worth it.
Wow. I'm gone for a few days and B stays out all night?? I miss all the interesting stuff.

And I was handing out free footrubs to anyone who wanted to sprawl across me, so you really did miss out on all the fun stuff.
