My Roommates



L to R- Mr. 280, McMike, Ms. Mix, Chimes, Callista, Jermaine , Abacus Finch and Deidre Dolce.

Mr. 280- He's married to Mrs. 282 but they've been separated for the past 5 months. She's currently living in Fresh Meadows with my parents. Even though the missus is only a model younger, they're practically identical.

McMike & Ms. Mix- These two are best friends and work on the road a lot. They travel at least twice a month to keep record of the finer sounds in life. They enjoy traveling, music and having an open eye & mind to just about anything.

Chimes- Chimes is a beautiful lap harp. Along with her sister Deidre Dolce, they emigrated from China to the U.S. They first stayed at a mart named Wal and later was adopted by Sir P.Duffy.

Callista- Callista grew up with Jermaine in Brooklyn, NY. Though she is often referred as thumb piano, she prefers kalimba better. This tiny heart-shaped baby loves listening to the band My Brightest Diamond. Her all-time favorite song would have to be Woncha Come on Home by Joan Armatrading.

Jermaine- Jermaine's origins are unclear but was mostly raised in Brooklyn. Toy pianos are a lot more mature than most people assume, and Jermaine is just the proof. He keeps his keys as clean and polished as they sound. He never once fail to brighten up anybody's day and has always been there for me. Our favorite past time is watching Flight of the Conchords together.

Abacus Finch- Abacus is not as musical as the other instruments, but is still one nonetheless. Shaped like a Chinese abacus, his primary purpose is to release stress with the studies of foot reflexology. As quiet as he may be, his muscles are as strong as a rock and will never let you down when it comes to a good foot massage.

Deidre Dolce- Literally meaning "sweet sounding", she has traveled long and far from the Appalachians to China to New York. Though limited to the D chord, Deidre does not let anything stop her from continuous sweet sounds. She especially loves Irish hymns, especially the song Rosin a Bow. Deidre is currently looking for a fellow dulcimer to court with. (Applications inquire within).
Maybe I'm a masochist, but sometimes I miss you hurting me.
