In the 5 or so years that my website has existed, I've tried to make an effort to keep details of my family (mostly names) out of the chaos as much as possible. (Friends, you get no such courtesy; sorry.) However, this makes my posts awkward to write and read, with "my sister" this and "my sister-in-law's sister's husband" that. Therefore, I've decided to come up with a list of aliases for them all. Those who know them might be able to figure out where these names came from, and those who don't won't care what their real names are anyway. For future reference, here's the list of names I'll be using, subject to revision. Abbreviations, if any, are in parentheses:

• Moo: My older sister, a resident at a hospital in New York.
• Italian Ice (II): Moo's boyfriend. He's smrt.
• Yang Gong Ba (YGB): My older brother, also living in New York.
• Puerto Rican Princess (PRP): My sister-in-law; not actually Puerto Rican.
• Bug: My two-year-old niece, daughter of PRP and YGB, and the cutest lil' girl you'll ever lay eyes on.
• Eight-Minute-Abs (EMA): PRP's younger sister. An architect.
• ReadyMade (RM): EMA's husband. He builds cool things.
• El Pato (EP): PRP's older sister, lives in Singapore. If you're wondering why I called her "The Duck", it totally makes sense if you know her real (nick)name, I swear.
• Oz: EP's husband, originally from Australia.
• Mr. Incredible: EP's and Oz's 9-month-old son, who already knows how to use the potty.
• Tokyo Drift (TD): PRP's, EP's, and EMA's youngest sister. Used to work at a racing auto shop.
• Yai: PRP's, EP's, EMA's, and TD's Mom. She can grill like a pro.
• The Doctor PRP's, EP's, EMA's, and TD's Dad.

Hopefully it doesn't get too confusing.

Incidentally, if you are one of the aforementioned people and would like a new Secret Nickname, or if you just want to know why the heck I gave you the name I did, just shoot me an e-mail.
