I probably have dozens of hours of content I could fill about all the people I grew up with and random shit like Bobby's dad died randomly one night. I had one friend whose dad lost a bunch of fingers in an accident and we all thought it was mob related.

Is any of this legal to speak about publicly on the internet with their picture and full legal name or will I just get sued to shit over it? Could I talk shit about some chick who never developed? Could I say this guy ultimately died of an overdose at 25? Really need a legal opinion on this before I go live looking directly into a camera and air out decades of intimate personal details about all these people. Is this legal if I just rely on memory?

I remember my sister had a friend with the same name as my gf so we always called them by their name plus initial. Like Sarah D and Sarah M to avoid confusion. Of course you could change the names and embellish the stories but there's something less satisfying about a roman-à-clef. I want to present this all as eyewitness testimony. And banging around with the full legal names just adds to the humor irl.

Because of your kind words I will leave you with this little snippet of memory. One time in the 8th grade we had a sleepover at my house and this Japanese kid, we'll call him Hideki Fujimori (name edited for anonymity), who ironically, and I cannot make this up, now works in biglol, we were all playing The Sims and he recreated this domestic life with him and this skinny white girl he had a massive crush on. We'll call her Bridget Covington. She was this incredibly dull tall blonde white girl of seemingly pure blood Anglo ancestry. And anyway we stayed up all night while this extremely naturally Adderalled out fobby Jap sperged out building this romantic life with Bridget Covington in a virtual world while eating pizza and drinking Mountain Dew.

The irony is that of all of my loser friends I was the only one who had ever spoken to her. We were on a group project together about the Civil War and the teach put us together as partners. This is 100% not flame but the way we tackled the project was I delivered a lengthy sermon about the detailed history of the event while she passed out slices of some kind of period correct cake. We got an A. But what was a really big deal at the time is that in order to conspire on our project I had to call her home phone. I had to call her landline and talk to her dad and explain who I was and why I was calling Bridget Covington. And anyways to my dumb friends this was an exceptional breach into the realm of the feminine and they all thought I was a living diety especially Hideki Fujimori who was absolutely rife with jealousy but would never Act on his own accord. I hope he's enjoying biglaw wherever he is. I never had a crush on Bridget Covington.

for the names, it would be fun to come up with names that had the same vibe as the originals but weren't exactly the same. again this is just so that if it blew up, freaks couldn't easily find these people's addresses and shit

You can speak publicly in the US as long as it's truthful but there are limitations on how you can use someone's photo (image/likeness) without permission.
