Funny one-sentence discription
HEY! I need to write funny, one-sentence descriptions about everyone in my family, and I don't know how to do it, I know you can't do it for me - but could you give me some inspirational examples? Like I guess it should be: "James Eriksson - a loveable soccerplayer, who's always doing one million things at once!" .. except, you know, funny. Can anyone help? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!!

What you're talking about, the one-sentence description, is a character's spine. I learned about this in playwriting ^_^.
Here's a character's spine from my best play:
"KATIE, a garrulous, naïve barista with a tendency to point out the obvious."
To describe her, I found her three most prominent traits: she talks a lot, she's young, and she doesn't know when not to "observe." Then I found shorter words for her traits.
Another character from that play, Nick, was pretty much the opposite of a commitmentphobe, but I couldn't for the life of me find one word for someone who was afraid to be alone, so I called him "(My protagonist's) cocky, unfaithful friend with human Velcro tendencies."
You've got a pretty good start, let's see if I can expand on it...
James Eriksson - a lovable soccer player who bites off more than he can chew even off the field.
or
James Eriksson - an amiable soccer-ball-buster who's always running even off the field.

If you wanna throw a few descriptive words or terms for each person in your family out there I'd be glad to get back to you and help you out a little more. Drop one in my inbox or add some info to your question, I'll check back.
