Nouns
Used Frequently by G-Rock :
Proper
Nouns: People
James "Jimmy Angel"-
Born, April 29, 1976 in Brooklyn, New York, lived relatively close
to Matt O'Brien. Met G-Rock at Washington
and Lee University in Fall of 1994. There was immediate and prolonged animosity
until about Spring 1995 when a few common interests were discovered.
G-Rock's TV, for example. G-Rock would often return from class to
find James watching the Weather Channel, or the TV on and no one in the
room, meaning James had been there recently and conscientiously left the
TV on. Other common ground included Pavement, guitar playing, and
unluckiness with the ladies.
James, or "Jimmy," is known for such things as tardiness, dawdling, assaulting people in a mildly disturbing sexual way, exposing himself, and incredible indie rock/pop sensibilities. Whether or not any of these characteristics contribute to the others is not really known, but if it ain't broke, don't fuck with it. Most recently James has been a member in the bands: Jactaid, No Bobby No!, The Velveteen Rabbits, Underpants Cowboy, Comrade Jimmy and NATO's Nightmare. James currently resides on Long Island. trademark quotes/expressions : "Chill out!" "Chill the Fuck out!" "Calm down..." (usually comes right after someone/anyone chiding James about anything, his fault or not.) "Why're you in such a hurry?" trademark gear: Funky winter coats, New Balance Sneakers, inconsistent facial hair maintenance, Buicks. Trademark quotes about James: "Fuckin' Jimmy..." Superpowers: Able to exist outside of regular time- James can move at a pace so slow as to appear not to be moving at all. Psychological weapon: He also has the ability to make people feel bad about themselves with little more than a glance.

Audrey Berrisa
Ramseur (née Berry Blankinship)-
Born Audrey Berrisa Blankinship, January 31st, 1976, in Tampa. Florida,
to Richard and Sue.
Introduced to G-Rock as roommate of small, impish, neurotic girl.
Later introduced again through weird-ass non-relationship relationship
with James. A tall, athletic girl, Berry was a star on the Washington
and Lee women's Tennis team. Ranked #4 doubles team in the country,
or something like that. During her college days, Berry had a penchant for
Mountain Dew, Doritos, liitle white lies to escape unpleasant social situations,
M&M's, Junior Mints, and other assorted chocolates that would require
the use of G-Rock's car. Dissappointingly, she no long consumes gallons
of the Dew on end. Dissapointing because G-Rock actaully moved in
with her on September 5th, 1998, much to his surprise. By far the
most "successful" of G-Rock's associates/friends. Although that may
change, for now Berry is raking in the bucks. She has even begun
investing in stocks and for her retirement. Many of G-Rocks friends
are very curious as to "how she does it," and "what does she do? what's
she like?" Well, whenever
a family member visits Berry, they sleep together. Trademark
quotes: "Would you mind driving me to the store?" "My cramps!"
trademark move: Phrasing
a request, such as needing to go to the store, in the form of a question
that makes it seem that you want to do something, and
since you want to do it anyway, would you mind if she came
along?
![]() Superpowers: Able to grow to incredibly large proportions- At 5'10", Berry is still growing. At her current rate growth, she may someday exceed 6 feet in height! Also- incredible power of persuasion (see above), although this power has diminished greatly since becoming roommates with G-Rock, her former primary target. upate: Berry and G-Rock
have since parted ways. For all the nitty-gritty details, see entries starting
on April 26, 1999.

All of them are weird in
their own ways, and have areas of overlapping weirdness. On a Ven
Diagram, G-Rock would most likely be the point of most intersection.
The Jack of all Trades to the Brother's Masters of their own areas.

Doug
Connolly- Born Douglas Edward Connolly, September 20th,
1975, somewhere in Indiana, I reckon. Moved to
Texas at some point. None of this really matters, though. Moved
to Pennsylvania in 1984. Met little G-Rock and family, as the moved into
the house next door. Welcomed with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
G-Rock like him immediately, mostly for his ability to make G-Rock's mom
make cookies. Became fast friends, remain so today, despite bumps
in the road, such as the infamous Winter War of 1984-85, where the Connollys
and Chows waged war for supremecy of the Winter Wonderland. Bloody,
dirty, and full of deceit, betrayal and genuine animosity. It was
a glorious time.
On April 14th, 1989, Doug and family moved to the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan.
Visited PA every summer for the next 5 or so years. Continued trend
of fucking shit up. Attended University of Texas, Austin. Pursuing
a career as a stand-up comedian.
Doug is known for his keen wit, deadpan humor, loyalty, strict moral code,
and more recently, his sideburns. Likes snakes, walks in the moonlight,

Other
notables: Only girl G-Rock considers a close friend who he has never seen

to put up with a lot of shit.
Jed
Hazlett- Born John Arbenz Hazlett, Jr., February
16th, 1976, to John Sr. and Marianne Hazlett, in Wheeling, WV.
Lived across the hall of Graham-Lees dormitory from G-Rock during 1994-95.

Roommate with G-Rock from 1995-1998, including the span from 1997-98 where
the two were rommates at the Shittiest House On Earth.
Known for love of statistics, parasites, impecable comic timing, and clutch
in sober driving situations. Also known for having no emotions and
keeping his heart in a little metal container under his bed in Wheeling,
WV. Example- back in Spring of '96, he informed his ladyfriend -who
lived all the way upstairs- that he could not keep her company,
even though she was scared of spiders and her roomates were away, because
he was busy. After a dejected Danielle left, Jed resumed flexing
shirtless in front of a mirror for the next 10 minutes. Danielle
cried herself into an uncomfortable, terrified sleep. Jed's response
: " 'Oh, I'm scared...' That's fucking ridiculous!"
heartless, but true, goddamit.

with the concept of unassisted human flight. Recently Jed divulged
that he had discovered the that the best way to fly was to "Learn how."
Currently resides in Brooklyn,

James. Hatched ingenious "Shakers" plan in Spring of 1996, planning
to go on crime spree by stealing salt and pepper shakers form random homes.
Despite the legal ramifications, Jen saw the potential peril as worth the
risk, saying defiantly "We'd get a year or two at most... I'd do the time!"

Jen, in G-Rock's Brooklyn Pad, February 2000. |
first day of college at Washington and Lee. Hung out for a few days.
Didn't talk much afterwords. Talked more as the year progressed.
Rommate of G-Rock from 1995-1996, although continued non-speaking trend
through most of 1995. Friendship fortified through G-Rock's eventual
friendship with Matt's then-girlfriend Jen. The relationship brings matt
and G-Rock closer, with G-Rock accompanying Jen on menial tasks like grocery
shopping, etc., and Matt reaping the romantic benefits. Spawned the
"non boyfriend-boyfriend" trend of fucked up boy-girl relationships for
G-Rock. But this did allow G-Rock and Jed much access to the Jen's
Murph-Mobile.
Graduate of Georgetown Law
School. Member of New York State Bar Association. Worked as a highly
paid attorney for approximately six months before quitting to pursue more
artistic goals.
G-Rock lived with Matt in
early June, 1999, in a building called "The Chaslteton," in a one bedroom
apartment in an area known for its homosexual denizens. Matt was
a bit bothered by this, G-Rock found it endlessly amusing, particularly
when both names ended up on Matt's mailbox, further fortifying the live-in-asian-lover
appearances. In fact, the tale is available online, at the June
9th, 1999 entry

Fun Facts:
Miss Charming Melodee is
the third Ivy Leaguer to be featured here, the second half-Puerto Rican,
and the ninth to date someone else on the list, and fifth to have a college
and post-college band.
Also, Miss CM's older brother
shares a birthday with G-Rock's older brother. Not only are both
musicians, playing both the bass guitar and piano, among others, but both
also aspired as children to be ninjas, going so far as buying ninja costumes,
suscribing to "Black Belt" magazine, and practicing martial arts moves
on younger siblings.
Nicole Richard-
Born May 16th, 1976, Minnesota. Currently holder of the "Least Likely
to be In The Armed Forced But Is"
award, Nicole holds the
rank of 2nd Lieutenant. A dimunitive waif, Nicole has her vvery own
government- issued own firearm. First met G-Rock in September 1994.
For pity's sake, as well as a lack of room, she will be spared the many
emabarassing accounts of her love/lust life. A penchant for tall,
meat-head types, although sometimes goes for unattractive thoughtful men.
But not often. Known for saying whatever goes through her head, being wound
tighter than the pre-Big Bang Universe, and subconscious hatred of her
twin sister. The "weird sisters" once caused G-Rock to go temporarily
insane, when they sat on both sides of him and argued between each other,
in a surreal "man vs. self" type struggle. This caused G-Rock to
go running off into the stormy night. He did not return for some time.
PFC
(People From Class)- Anyone of the small number of people associated
with G-Rock through class at NYU. These include but are not limited
to:
Anna- an intellectual
sort who's non-hatred of G-Rock confused him greatly and caused him to
lose faith in his rigid belief in stereotypes and generalizations.
Her intellect and strong interest in the Arts seemed in direct conflict
with most of G-Rock's ideals. however, this does not seem to be the
case. Although she is dropping out of the program as of January 2000,
she will still carry the "PFC" when mentioned. Got G-Rock his job
at the help desk.
Caryn-
An indie-chick of sorts. Enjoys playing guitar and N64, strong common
ground with G-Rock. She dropped out of NYU to take on a glamourous job
at the glamourous magazine Entertainment Weekly. What a sell-out.
Yes, we are very, very jealous.
Katey- Also a sort
of indie-chick. Only recently turned 21. Makes G-Rock feel real old.
Kathy-
" " " "
" " .
From Cali. Some diction similar to that of Nora. Nice enough.
Rodzilla-
Born
February 24th, 1977, Somewhere in Washington, Pennsylvania, I believe.
Life changed forever upon meeting G-Rock in the summer of 1997. First
encounter was actually in Spring of 1997, when the two were at the same
dinner, curiously dressed almost identically. Became fast friends,
until the infamous and embarrassing "Non-Romantic Incident" of July 1997.
Alienated for approximately 11 months, until July 1998, when the two met
yet again in Lexington, VA.
Dated
G-Rock for a little over two years, while spending October 1999-May 2000
in Europe, mostly in Bordeaux, France. Moved to New York in July
2000. Relationship busted up shortly after that.
At times quiet and reserved,
but often boisterous and rowdy, bordering on insanity. An extreme
Francophile, despite the fact that the French are extremely lewd in general,
and in her presence specifically. On three occasions at least, she
has been subjected to behaviour that could be considered criminal in the
United States. Known for being conscientious, courteous, kind, caring,
and bat-shit crazy. Likes to jitterbug, watch sappy movies, eat,
drink, and make merry.
Currently resides in Boston,
Massachusetts, where she is pursuing her Master's at Harvard. Well, woo-hoo...Hawvahd...

Nora Zwehl-Burke-
Born March 21, 1977 in Gottingen, Germany. Only one of G-Rock's friends
to be a bona fide member of the Master Race. With luck, this association
will save G-Rock when the Fourth Reich starts some crazy shit.
But not likely. Nora was introduced into the fold when Matt picked
her out of the freshman facebook at Washington and Lee. Matt and
Nora have been a "thing" a few times since. It was recently revealed
that no less than three of the Proper Nouns in this list had a "thing"
for Nora ( a different kind of "thing" than the Matt and Nora "thing").
Without admitting anything, this may have been a reason for the Matt- G-Rock
rift. But these feelings have since passed. But that is no
reflection on her. But hell, even if it was, so what? It's not like
she ever reciprocated any of those feelings. I hurt too, y'know!
Um... anyway, She now resides in Santa Barbara, CA, with her family and
various animals, including a frog Jed gave her in 1995. Her constant
presence around animals has converted her into a vegetarian. G-Rock
found this particularly dissappointing since the two had many beef-jerky
excursions.
Nora
and G-Rock share many qualities that bring the two together. They
are both extremely self-centered, both are misunderstood as being vain
when in reality it is a unique and extreme sense of insecuirty/vanity.
Rodzilla at times also suffers from this malady.
trademark quote:
"You're hateful." "Easy, little boy." "No, listen to me!" California-speak,
such as "I was all... and then he was all..." Where other poorly
speaking people such as myself would say "I was like..." and such and such.
Also , things like "You did not just..." in a "Friends"
kinda way.
trademark gear:
Silver toe-ring and her uniquely Nora bad-ass attitude.
miscellaneous stuff:
Likes to believe that she recieves "protected status" from G-Rock in what
he says about her.
Penchant for gangsta rap
and poppin's caps in various asses.
Superpowers:
Member of Master Race (see above). Limited time travel- Nora currently
lives three hours in the past!
Proper
Nouns: Things and Places
The Coug-
The car of Matt O'Brien, acquired in Fall of 1996.
Matt loves his car. But it is suspected that he loves it only because
it is his car, and if it belonged to someone else he would mock
it as others do. It is a white, mid-80's Mercury Cougar, with many
miles on it. However, Matt inexplicably seems to make a link from
his car to the newer, sleeker, 1999 Mercury Cougar, which has been competely
redesigned and looks nothing like Matt's car. However, since
they are both called the Cougar, Matt draws considerable pride from this.
Matt
has been known to abuse his car, and to abuse others with it. He will constantly
nudge friends's cars when behind them at a stop, and will sometime hit
friends on foot as he did to G-Rock on more than one occasion. He
would approach in a joking manner and drive up to someone, and where a
normal person would laugh and stop, Matt would go for the full effect and
actually hit someone.
Characteristics
of the Cougar include a dent on one side, missing hubcaps (though these
may have since been replaced) and a dented front grill. Around the
town of Lexington, you can occasionally see damage done by the Cougar,
such as a sign adivising drivers of a ditch in the road at the end of the
driveway of 306 McLaughlin St. that Matt side-swiped on more than one occasion.
The Grey Ghost-
G-Rock's car. The name "Grey Ghost" was actually the name of the
grey Honda owned by G-Rock's highschool friend, pro-wrestler M-Quackenbush.
Upon Quackenbush's acquisition of a new ride, the name was retired.
After G-Rock took possesion of his vehicle in August 1996, he basically
stole the "Grey Ghost" moniker, because he thought it sounded better than
"my car."
Many
wacky misadventures have been had in the Grey Ghost. It is usually
the car of choice when cruisin' around and actually going places.
Living around Washington DC has been harsh on the Grey Ghost, with the
city driving and whatnot.
There have also been numerous nagging problems, such as the car alarm going
off if the trunk is opend with the key. Many of these maladies are
the result of an unfortunate incident that G-Rock was involved in back
in February 1993, where a reckless, crazy old woman slammed into the Grey
Ghost as G-Rock was attempting to make a left turn. However, these
little nagging problems helped G-Rock aquire the vehicle. It has
recently been mandated by a number of friends that the Grey Ghost can never
be sold or traded, and must be G-Rock's vehicle for as long as possible.
A few
individuals seem to have unique effects on the Grey Ghost. For example,
whenever Berry and G-Rock are going somewhere, they
inevitably get lost, no matter how easy the route may seem. Also,
G-Rock has had profound effects on the car, mostly by driving it into the
ground. The Beloved Grey Ghost was stolen by hoodlums in November of 2000.
Though it was eventually recovered, it had been raped of its precious 10-disc
cd changer and just wasn't the same, and soon after sold. I loved that
car, man. Fuckers.
The HMS Ballsac-
The sea-faring craft constructed by G-Rock, Jed, Rodzilla, and Nora, on
May 10th, 1999.
Sailed
for the first (and presumably) last time that same night. The craft consists
of an inverted "Paradise Island" kiddie pool, covered the other flotation
devices- 6 giant bouncy balls and an innertube. Surprisingly, the Ballsac
sailed nearly-flawlessly, without any propulsion or reliable steering.
In fact, it's main power sources were the Maury River (downstream) and
Jed himself (upstream). Since the initial sailing, some of
component parts of the BallSac
have become scattered a lost, and have even led to Jed becoming the
victim of Redneck violence. The success
of the Ballsac marks possibly the first time ever one of the lame-brained
schemes of anyone mentioned on this index has ever worked. And quite possibly,
the last.
The Honeycomb Hideout-
The seldomly used but often amusing name for Apt. 7 at 306 McLaughlin St.
The
name was mostly
in effect in 1996, when a sign saying "Honeycomb Hideout" hung in the front
window. This sign was made and displayed largely out of boredom and
procrastination. Other signs included "No wimps, No winos, No walruses,"
"8675309" and "Please do not taunt the spider," which became necessary
after Jed and G-Rock taunted what appeared to be a gigantic fake spider
which turned out to be rather real. The name was dropped most likely
due to the fact that the sign fell off the door and was trampled on repeatedly
before someone just threw it away. Besides, it is most likely that Bitchard,
who replaced Matt in 1996, would've punched someone in the neck, screaming
"What the fuck is this shit?"
The Murph-Mobile-
The car used by Jen Murphy and assorted friends for
the majority of 1995-1996. Before Matt's acquisition of The
Coug, it was the primary transportation for the residents of Apartment
7 at 306 McLauhgling St (sometimes
known as the Honeycomb Hideout). Had a few quirks, such as the tempermental
CD player and the tendency of the key being locked into the ignition, but
all and all a solid ride. G-Rock and Jed were most annoyed when the
car would be loaned to others, such as Berry, particularly
when they were planning on using it to do some really cool-ass shit.
But they were unfortunately in no position to complain. They seldom
put gas in the tank, and drove it like it was their job.
The Murph-Mobile
was broken into in June of 1996, and Jen lost a good portion of her cd's.
This started a trend of break-ins of the cars of girls from Florida who
lived with or sort of lived with G-Rock. The Murph-Mobile has since
been replaced. But it is missed by all who knew it. Some people
knew it better than others. (*nudge nudge, wink wink*).
Washington St. in Lexington, VA should most likely be condemned.
G-Rock and Jed Relocated there with Dan Rushing and
Aaron Brothert0n in the summer of 1997. The house was of course a
mess. Everyone fixed up their respective rooms, where they spent
much of their time after the living room area had become uninhabitable.
Much time was also spent in the Dick Room, the smallest bedroom in the
house converted into a smoky place to watch tv, eat, and drink. Never
has such a concentration, frequency, and variety of mold been seen.
From Wendy's bags to unfinished gin and tonics, mold seemed to thrive in
the house, largely due to the fact that most living areas received no direct
sunlight.
The
garage
also housed various articles of women's clothing, left there by the previous
tenants, although these were never used to their full potential.
However, they did contribute to the mess that the damnable landlord Chuck
Volpey found when the residents moved out, resulting in the forfeiture
of their security deposits. G-Rock's father, who helped him moved
out, still makes mention of this house occasionally, astounded that people
could live there. Whenever he is in another house in Lexington or
even sees a picture of another local house, he can be counted on to ask,
"Why couldn't you live there?"
