Cast, in order of appearance (to the best of my memory, and with one exception):
Mother.
Father. Stockist in finest quality goosnargh, sometimes to the point of causing guernsey when investigated. High offley can usually be avoided though.
My very oldest friend. Johan was born about a week after me, and we probably met not long after that. We were really close friends for many years, but we're not really in touch anymore, haven't kept any contact after class 12 ended.
Brother.
Another really old friend. Petter and I were classmates from class 1 to 9, and in parallel classes from 10 to 12. We've also lost a bit of touch after class 12, but that's mainly because he's studying in Luleå these days :-) ... We still mail a bit (like once every few months or so :-), and we meet at least once every time he's home over a holiday.
Sister.
We had a great time, really great, while it lasted. Then, it very abruptly stopped lasting on june 22nd 2008 ...
Bonnie didn't appear here in chronological order (after Kristofer is more true in this aspect), but she deserves to go up here after the family and earliest friends are done with. Watches odd films, listens to cool music and lives in Hong Kong. Long distance, long term friend, always ready to provide new insights.
Former classmate (classes 10 to 12), Snarl-up member and the reason I got to know Martin in the first place, thanks pal! Knows the square root of five and the German word for pharmacist (long version) by heart. At least he did a few years back, but knowing him I'd be very surprised if he didn't still :-) .. .
Founder of Snarl-up (along with the world-famous Peter Larsson), posessor of wicked humour and one of those great random meetings of life. Andreas wasn't supposed to be in my class initially, and it was through him that I met Martin in the first place. And look where I am now, always in touch with Martin but never meeting Andreas. Don't think too much about whats and what-ifs, you might turn mad :-) ...
Kristofer was in a paralell class to mine throughout the gymnasium (years 10 - 12 of schooling around here), but it wasn't really until we ended up in the same civil service group that we got to know eachother better. He got into creating webpages at that time, and have been cranking out new designs at a high rate and of increasing quality ever since.
Another Snarl-up member, but more importantly in posession of extensive knowledge of just about anything technical you can think of asking him and an ability to write long, rambling and entertaining texts in noteboards, webpages, emails and elsewhere.
Fellow student from a place that can't be called a city (her words, not mine :-). Drinks tea which tastes a lot better than it smells and can look very cute standing at the end of long lines of people. Also kind of a candle fanatic.
We had fun together but we've pretty much lost touch after she moved back to her home-non-town. We talked a few times after that but now I don't even have an idea of what she's doing :-) ...
Fellow computer and information science student. His girlfriend tried to convince me Henrik and I were twins. I still feel sceptic though, considering things like the difference in age, looks and parents. Stupid sense of humour doesn't qualify as proof of relation, nor does interest in collectible card games or computer games (may be an old-fashioned way of looking at it, but I still do). Still, we do get along pretty well :-) ...
Some people move faster in life than others. Some of us have just moved away from home, while others already have wife and children with only a three year head start :-) ... And yes we still get along very well, he and his family are high up on the friend scale. So much I almost feel guilty for coming over and being invited to eat sometimes :-) ...
Henriks' ... wife! Wow, it'll take some time to get used to this thought, but I couldn't be happier about it :-) ... Some people just belong together, and Henrik and Karin are two of those people.
Henrik's and Karin's son. Seven months old at the time of writing, oh they grow up so fast!
