HELLO! THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY THIS EVENING. WHY DON'T WE START WITH YOUR NAME, AGE, OCCUPATION, AND ANY OTHER TIDBITS ABOUT YOURSELF THAT YOU'D LIKE ME TO KNOW.
'Oh, no problem at all! I'm really just excited to be here!' Daniel turned to grin at his older sister through the transparent door, waving her a goodbye as she drove away. 'My name is Daniel Strider - and yes, please feel free to bask in the glow of a kick ass name. I am twenty two years old, and I've been getting me some college education - something to the extent of web and software design, while I organize CD's in the music section of Barns & Noble for extra cash. I guess thats as far as tidbits go...other than the tidbit that I love the word 'tidbit.' Oh wait! My birthday is December 11th, which means that I am,' he paused for dramatic effect, 'a Sagittarius!'
SUCH A NICE NAME YOU HAVE! ARE YOU NEW HERE TO NEW YORK? OR ARE YOU A NATIVE, PERHAPS?
He had to stop himself from rolling his eyes. He just said his name was kick ass. 'Hell yeah I'm new here! Oh wait, sorry, is hell inappropriate to say during something like this? I dunno, I can never keep up with "what not to say,"' he used his fingers to put quotes around the words and then frowned, 'I also said "ass" a couple of times. But uhm...' he trailed off as he tried to regain his train of thought, Oh yeah! I come from here. Well, not originally. I was born in New Mexico, but I was pretty much raised in New York. Past like Forest HIlls and stuff, uhm, I dunno. Lived in Alleghany for most of my life and that's a small as fuck - oh excuse me, sheesh, I really am sorry - that's a very small town. It's pretty great! But I dunno, I'm a little more optimistic about the city. I'm here for college.' He ran his fingers through his hair, his palms getting a little sweaty. If it was an interview for something real he would have been a little more contained.
HMM... YES, I DEFINITELY COULD HAVE GUESSED THAT. DO YOU HAVE ANY FRIENDS OR FAMILY HERE WITH YOU? IF NOT, HOW ARE YOU HANDLING BEING AWAY FROM THEM?
His laugh was friendly and warm, 'Hah! What's that supposed to mean? No, never mind. I totally understand whatcha sayin'. But yeah! I have lots of friends around here. One of them is a pain in the ass, but we've been friends since we were basically toddlers - I stuck him in a trash can once, Daniel laughed again, his brown eyes sparkling. Truth be told, Mikey just made him insanely jealous. Being talented in a field that attracted attention...being attractive in general. What? He was loosing his train of thought again. 'Oh yeah! My sister also lives out here. She moved out here a couple of years ago, which kinda sucked at first. But then I moved out too!' he grinned through his concluding statement.
AH, MY OWN FAMILY LIVES IN NEW JERSEY. NOW, WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR STORY? Y'KNOW, JUST TALK ABOUT HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE NOW.
'No, I don't mind at all! I just...hang on, I need to figure out where to begin with a story as thrilling as mine,' he winked, 'I suppose with my childhood? Good? Alrighty! Well like I said before, I was born in Albaquerque, New Mexico. Not a lot happened there. Except my dad left when I was about three or five. I guess I wasn't the son he wanted me to be? Oh, but it works out though. We're even, see, he wasn't the father that I had wanted him to be. We proved this to each other as we got older. But after that, my big sister started to get a little more protective of me. She's four years older than me so it was kinda nice to be able to hang out with the older, cooler, kids more often then the lame-os' my own age,' he immediately thought of Mikey, and he didn't want to think about Mikey, 'So uhm...yeah,' he kept interrupting himself and getting lost in his own story,
'But my grandmother started spending more time with us after that too. And I'll admit, I always was a momma's boy. No shame in that! But the relationship I had with my grandmother was amazing. I grew closer to her than anyone else and it was pretty awesome. She never liked my father either, and the three of us supported my mom and er, all of that junk. She got me interested in the visual arts, dance, and theater, and I started to branch away from things that were deemed "masculine." She also encouraged my mom to take the family someplace new, get a fresh start. She came with us of course, because my grandfather had died recently and she needed our company as much as she needed ours.'
He paused for a moment, trying to remember the details. His face was slightly scrunched with effort and he kept running his fingers through his hair, 'So there was that...and then, eventually, and I mean this happens to everyone so whatever, but eventually she died. She was pretty old, and got sick. Not with cancer but with some sort of disease that I couldn't remember the name of for the life of me. But I found that I actually liked it a lot more here, in New York. It's toursity and stuff, but I fell in love with streets like Broadway. I started socializing more, and I guess became sorta popular amongst my peers by the time I was a senior in high school.
'Now, I always really enjoyed the idea of school. I guess it was familar - we all most of the first part of our lives in that place. But I didn't really enjoy the part that demanded my willpower and motivation to just do what I was told. I was outspoken and refused to take any trash thrown my way. It's funny though - I was constantly getting in trouble, but the rest of the staff loved me. I did really well with the stuff I liked. Literature, art classes, and uhm I fell in love with theater and visual communications around my sophomore year. So yeah! I was good at that stuff! But my grades weren't honor roll, and the teachers always insisted that I should be tested for ADHD. I never did though. I didn't want to know I guess? It's just...a lot of people have it? It's fine...? It's not that big of a deal...and I guess I just have a hard time trusting western medicine or something? I dunno, but I'm getting off topic. Anyways, yeah I fell in love with dance and design and after I graduated I started pursing it in college - design more than theater and dance.'
OH MY, WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THAT BIT OF PERSONAL HISTORY WITH ME. NOW, WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD YOU SAY YOU ARE? GOT ANY FUN FACTS YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE?
Daniel's smile had returned now that he had finally concluded his rambles of history. 'No problem at all! It's sorta fun,' although the statement sounded more like a question, 'But sure! I love to talk about me! It's one of my greatest talents. Let's see...fun facts? Horses can't puke, it is possible to lick your elbow, a duck's quack doesn't echo! - Oh...you meant fun facts about me? Bluh, alright. Well...I've always wanted to play an instrument. But my grandmother only really taught me how to to play a few decent songs on the piano. And oh! On my seventh birthday I slipped down a flight of stairs and gave myself a minor concussion! But okay okay, I'll move on to talking about myself.
'I'd say I'm a really awesome person. Other people might try to tell you otherwise, but they don't even know what the hell they're talking about. But don't get me wrong, of course I'm aware that I have flaws. I just don't like to focus on them? It kinda puts me down. Fine, I guess I can fish a few out for you. I know that I'm stubborn...and capricious. (Heh, which is funny because I'm a Sagittarius!) But I'm restless and can be ridiculously impatient. I'm carless...and have been known to maybe, possibly rush into things. I get fidgety and restless in relationships, and I've burned through a lot of them. I've done things I'm not proud of either but...whatever,' a casual shrug.
'But I'd like to think of myself as...if not a nice guy, then at least a decent guy. I know I can be snippy and sarcastic, and a big smart ass delight, but I really do enjoy making friends and making those friends happy. I get a little protective with them. What? No! I'm certainly not jealous! Noo way! That's just ridiculous, I mean, c'mon! I'm like...the least jealous person ever,' for someone who was so eager to talk about himself, Daniel was having a hard time forming up coherent words now. Truth was, jealousy burned through him. He was okay with most of his personality, but he hated the flaring emotion. 'Moving along! I'm pretty open-minded as well, but I will defend my own opinions with everything I've got. I guess thats part of the stubbornness? I'm something of an equalist...and, I don't know. I'm sure I've forgotten a few things. But that's enough right?'
WELL AREN'T YOU JUST THE CUTEST THING. WITH A FACE AND PERSONALITY LIKE YOURS, I'M SURE YOU MUST BE OFF THE MARKET?
Daniel stood up a little bit taller, 'I am the cutest thing!' His tone only slightly betrayed how he thought that was incredibly condescending. He was a really cute thing though...he liked "hot" better, but this was fine. 'But sure, yeah. Like I mentioned, I've had a lot of history with past lovers. Like...hah, lots of them. And I like to consider my self a omniromantic pansexual. So basically, I don't really care all too much about whatever someone might identify as. Sex is really cool and fun, and cuddling with people and hanging out and bein all cute with them is also really cool and fun. I totally support polyamory because I think I've felt it at times. But I think thats a subject for an entire other discussion.'
OKAY THEN! WELL, THAT'S ALL I HAD PLANNED FOR TODAY. UNLESS YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD, I GUESS THIS IS GOODBYE.
Daniel stretched, feeling somewhat relieved to have been dismissed. His attention had been starting to slip, so his voice was back to its original brightness. 'Nah, I think I've said enough for now. Thanks for listening, I guess? But uhm yeah! Enjoy the rest of your time off.'
