Bad Hippie's Coalition of the Willing:
Bad Hippie - an almost 35 year-old creative hack who knits a lot and reads even more, and who likes to hang out with her groovy teenager, rather charming husband, and four fuzzy cats, all while watching endless reruns of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. She has a soft spot for little children, fuzzy creatures, and flower gardens. Warning: DO NOT take chocolate away from Bad Hippie or go head to head with her on a soccer field. Either situation could result in injury to life and/or limb.
The Beavis - Bad Hippie's groovy 15 year-old son, who is obsessed with all things soccer and/or wrestling. The Beavis used to be a fan of the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, his violin, bad 'tween dramas on Nickelodeon, brown sugar and cinammon frosted pop tarts, and SOCCER, but now he is more interested in Tupac and Lupe Fiasco, bad teen dramas on MTV, poker, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I think soccer still makes his "cool" list, though.
Bad Hippie's Husband - heretofore referred to as "He Who Shall Remain Nameless," or "HWSRN," until we come up with a clever nickname for him. HWSRN is a 36 year-old creative type who likes jazz music (especially Diana Krall) and Kurt Vonnegeut novels. He likes to hang out in his temporary man cave, where he dreams of the day his real man cave is finished and he does NOT have to hear miscellaneous rap songs coming from The Beavis' room.
The Cats - Stinky P. Boo (Mama or Marge), Picasso (Passo), Ziggy (Ziggy Doodles), and Ruby (Boobie). The much loved and absolutely spoiled feline members of our household, who are also the subject of my obsessive photography fixation. Ziggy is the fearless leader of our feline tribe, although Ruby is scrappy and tough and has no idea that she weighs only eight pounds. Don't look at her wrong, man. She'll claw your eyes out.
