"Let's get comfortable. You got a nickname I can call you?"[/font]
No one's ever called me anything but Adam. Some guys will call me by my last name, but not really.
"'S cute. Mind if I just call you babe? Cool. So, babe, what's cooking - for those just listening?"[/font]
I have what some people might call an "indie" style, or a punk style. I'm not punk though, maybe a super toned down punk. I like neutral colors and plain tee shirts. Sometimes I might go with a button down shirt or a polo. I like leather jackets; I own about three. I only ever wear jeans, usually dark and usually straight leg. Typically I'll wear a belt but my pants will still be sagging anyway, haha. And I have huge ass gauges and another ear piercing above that. My hair is naturally dark brown but I bleached it so now it's pretty much white. It's kind of long and kind of shaggy, but not really. And I have facial hair, but not a ton. I just don't feel like shaving every day.
"Cute. Wore that just for me, huh? Speaking of which, give me the details. Gay? Straight? Look kinda like a swinger to me.. Care for a drink or a smoke, babe?"[/font]
Hah, me. A swinger? You're funny. And, no thanks. I'd rather not shorten my lifespan more than it already is.
[He quit drinking and smoking when he got the AIDS virus, except weed. Weed helps him get through the day.]
"Damn. Get some! ha! Chill out. So, swear this won't get leaked anywhere but.. got any secrets? Come on, you can tell me!"[/font]
I wasn't born HIV positive like I tell people. Not like I even tell anyone. I only tell people if they wanna have sex with me, hah. I actually got it from unprotected sex with a one night stand that I don't even remember. And because I don't remember, it went untreated for seven years. By then it was too late. I had AIDS.
I'm not perfect. Hell, I used to be a horrible person. But I let everyone believe that I've always been the good one.
I pretty much hate myself for doing everything I did as a kid. It ruined my life, and it's actually going to end my life.
"..Ouch. Okay, don't be so cold kid. There's always a way out of shit like that. Got any ambitions, babe?"[/font]
To beat AIDS... but considering there's no cure, it's a lost cause. Besides that, I've always wanted to be a musician, but considering I don't play an instrument, that won't happen. But I want to finish college, and then be an artist. It might not have the best pay but it's what I like to do.
"Okay, okay. Don't get too excited. Half those are just hearing about you. Now let's see.. Oh, here we go. Tell me a bit about yourself. Likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses - all that. We need some dirt!"[/font]
You need dirt? Well, guess you've come to the right guy. I used to be the life of the party. Girls dropped to their knees right when they laid their eyes on me. Alright, maybe that's an exaggeration, but I definitely did get around. I was an asshole, a pervert, but I rubbed people the right way so they liked me.
But that's all about how I used to be. Now, I'm a recovering alcoholic, and I don't party so much anymore. Not that I don't know how to have a good time anymore. I do, but I'm much more clean these days. I'm suuuuper chill and apparently that's why people think I'm always high. Which I'm not. At least, not all the time. Yeah, I smoke weed, but that's only because it helps me tolerate shit. But while I'm high, I'm practically so chill that I'm dead. Haha. Anyway, not a lot of stuff gets to me. You have to try really hard if you want to piss me off. I'll just look the other way. I mean, come on, this isn't high school anymore. Stop trying to start drama and just act your age. I'm really good with giving people advice and I like giving them well thought out answers. I'm also really intelligent. If you're looking for someone to hold up an intelligent conversation and know their facts, I'm your guy. Just don't ask me to tutor you. I may be smart and chill, but I'm really bad at explaining things. And I get impatient with stupid people after a while. Even if you're not stupid and just not understanding the material, I get kind of pissy. I guess that's one way you can annoy me if you really want to.
Anyway, I'm a really good artist, if I do say so myself. Mostly digital, but I do like painting and pencil drawing. But I'm a complete failure or just average at everything else. I like making people smile, and I just like helping people. So I'll often participate in charity drives and donate stuff to good will and shit like that.
Sorry man, I'm talking a lot. That happens sometimes when I'm high. I don't know when to shut the fuck up. Other times I just.. sleep.
"Kinky, ha! Couldn't agree more. 'Nyways, one last thing. How'd you get where you are today?"[/font]
I took pretty much every shortcut there was and half-assed everything?
Alright, that wasn't a good answer, but that's exactly what I did. Let's see, maybe I should start from the beginning... Okay. I'm 100% Dutch, born and raised in the Netherlands. Dutch is my first language, but my parents were smart enough to teach me English too. I also know a bit of Frisian and Turkish, but not much. My family's pretty well off, and by well off I mean filthy fuckin' rich. I was spoiled as a kid, and now that I think about it, I was a total brat. I thought I was better than everybody just because I had money, haha. I went to a Catholic school all throughout school, because my entire family is Roman Catholic. I absolutely haaaated it. So I, y'know, rebelled. It started at thirteen - ahh, the age where the world seems so much more fucked up. It first started as little things, like cursing, showing disrespect, etc. But I met a few older guys who offered me a drink and it spiraled downward from there.
I started hanging out with older kids which made me a lot more mature than I should have been for my age. I lost my virginity at fourteen and when my parents found out, I almost had a certain appendage removed. Almost. Along with drinking and sex came the partying, and the drugs, and really, it just kept building and building. Being the only child, my parents didn't have prior experience and had no idea how to set me in line. So I was shipped off to live with my grandparents at seventeen, which seemed pointless to me considering I was almost eighteen. They had made a cozy live in the states, in San Jose, California. I obviously spent only a year there before I left them, and I never quit my bad habits. So I spent two years on my own, just living it up in luxury until my parents cut me off. They told me to either go to school, or work and pay for myself. I chose to go to school, and they paid for me to go to Luxford.
I started to slow down at 21, not because I wanted to, but because I was getting sick all the time. I went to the doctor's to find out what was wrong with me. Long story short, they discovered I was HIV positive, and that I was in the third stage. They told me that if I didn't live such a risky lifestyle of sex, drugs, and alcohol, then I would have had more time to be cured. I was damaging my immune system and my body couldn't fend for itself. After that, I was put on a lot of medication, and I went to AA meetings and whatnot to quit. It took me a year to quit, and around the same time was when the doctors told me they had "done all they could". My HIV went into the fourth stage, which meant that I had AIDS. Scary thought, ay? To think you have a virus that kills a ton of people, where about 58% of cases die. To have a virus where there is no cure. Yeah, scary.
Since then I've been a different person - the person I am now. I guess I finally got my wake up call.
"Shiiit. Well at least you got yourself babe, can't take that away. And me. -winks- What I'm joking! Kind of. Anyways, relax while we evaluate you, get you into your place, alright? Also, we can't even accept you if your face claim has not been posted yet. Post in the faceclaim = your ticket to acceptance. Other than.. you know. Being accepted. A'ight, I'm out - peace."
