Yes, I know it is not seven, per my usual theme. Seven would be way too many and might require medication. My lovely friend at Moonshadow Ink, reminded me that I have not formerly introduced them.
This is a theory I cooked up with Jay's expert help - he has know me and my ways for a long long time.
Gertrude "Gertie": In her late 70's. Grandma. Loves to bake, cook, feed people in general. Crafting is her specialty. Very at home crocheting or piecing together fabric to sew a new pillow. Loves things that are in the 40's era, black and white movies, and musicals. Likes to play cards. Crotchety at times, and will say anything she wants. Gets anxious about travel and being on time.
Sheldon: 13 years old. Nerd to the extreme. Sometimes gets shy. Hormonal. Loves comic books, video games, games in general. Can be a bit of a hermit. Loves fictional worlds. Bookworm. Gets picked on. Stutters a little. When he gets talking about some thing he is a fan of, he gets really excited and maybe knows a bit too much about it. Can reference many different arenas of pop culture. Likes to find things that are not well known yet. Secret indie rocker.
Franklin: In his 30s, though might tell people late 20s. Gay. Daring, says somethings for shock value, though knows his limits. Would love to be Martha Stewart's intern. The risk taker, like does not bat an eye at sending a love letter to a stranger who works in a book store. Likes to dance. Talks about sex a lot, and it embarrasses Sheldon, but does not stop him from listening. More nurturing than the other three. Often the sounding board people need, he is the listener.
Susanna: Same age as Franklin (these two will probably age with me, while Gertie and Sheldon will remain fixed in their age). Big feminist. Gets outraged at minor and large injustices. Embraces womanhood in all its glory. Would be the nurturer if she was not so blunt and quick to speak. Tree hugger. Hates Lifetime TV, Victoria's Secret, the color pink, and Valentine's Day. Loves astrology, candles, folk music, and Lilith fair. A bit of a hippie, but a little too high strung for that lifestyle.
Let's test these people to things I like. I have already explained Dr. Horrible.
Subversive Cross Stitch: Gertie loves to stitch away, Franklin loves that its a little naughty, and Susanna digs that its anti-establishment at times and laughs in the face of domestic convention.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Sheldon likes the superhero and chick action and Susanna likes seeing women in positive female roles. Bonus for "Once More with Feeling" - Franklin and Gertie were all over it.
Cooking & baking: Gertie likes to feed people and make them happy, Franklin likes to try new things, Susanna buys organic and cooks vegetarian, Sheldon loves to eat (he pretty much wins, other people do the work, and he reaps the benefits.)
That is me in a nutshell.

Well they all make one hell of a team. Incidentally, my Word Verification begins with 'WTF', as though it doesn't get you. But I get you, Cookie.
I am mostly Franklin. I think he lives in me, too. All minus the sex with men thing.
