An Introduction: Cast of Characters

Evie Cage: Evie Cage is an alter-ego I originally created as a fake name to offer to sketchy people when I go out to sketchy places. The name "Evie" is a tribute to my grandmother, Evelyn, and the name "Cage" is a small nod to Marvel Comic's Hero for Hire, Luke Cage. Evie Cage is best summarized as my own personal Tyler Durden, albeit a less maniacal version. Evie Cage is a culmination of all my personality traits, good and bad, that rarely have light shone on them. Evie Cage is a bisexual, recovering sex addict, with a penchant for glamour and a desire to make the world more artistic and beautiful, among many other things.

M.J. Corbin: M.J. Corbin is my sistah from another mistah. We certainly have our ups and downs and although we live in two seperate universes, we always come back to each other.

Teh Job: I work in a position which I lovingly refer to as "Accounting for Dummies" at a major national home improvement retailer. I handle the store's cash, research discrepancies, and file a bunch of paperwork. At the end of the day, I often have an hour or two free to help out in other departments. It is not terribly uncommon to find me running a cash register, as much as I try to avoid it. This allows for a significant amount of discomfort in my work day as I often find our customers judgemental and degrading upon seeing a woman working in a home improvement store.

Teh Gays: I work very closely with a local non-profit group that is most widely known for holding my city's first gay pride march. Please allow me to make this painfully clear: I use the name "Teh Gays" in a very loving, tongue-in-cheek reference to the organization that I work with. Not wanting to misrepresent the organization, I decline to give their real name and will not discuss in-depth anything involving their work or their presence in the community. However, an extremely large portion of my life is dedicated to this organization, the topic will undoubtedly present itself from time to time.

Teh Bartender: It's complicated. Sometimes. Let's just leave it at that for now.

This is my world. You are all welcome and encouraged to join me in it as specators and respectful acquaintances. I make no apologies for my work and my writing as I value frank and honest discussion in the proper forum. This is my forum and I make the rules. Consider this all a work of fiction, if it helps you sleep at night.
