[/i] lux grace atherton.name,
age, [/i] twenty one.
high school, [/i] benet academy.
who were you in high school? i don't think i really fit into any one stereotype...i think in high school people defined me more by my boyfriends. "you know, she's so and so's girlfriend" or "she's that girl who's dating the lacrosse captain." i mean, even in my yearbooks all people would write were things like "you and whoever are so cute together, blah blah blah". it wasn't even like i had this impressive dating record, it's just that i always had a boyfriend. it was the constant factor about me. i was kinda nerdy. like i liked to read a lot, and i was on the debate team. athletically, i was that awkwardly gangly girl with braces who sucked at sports. i mean, i rode horses. that's about all i could do without looking like i was in physical pain. but i don't want to make it seem like i was this big dweeb...i mean, people liked me. i always got invited to parties, i helped people with their math homework, i was on prom court. i was just, you know, your average girl.
college & major, [/i] u of rochester, political science and journalism
marital status, [/i]single
kids, [/i]n/a
how many,
names & how you chose it,
job, [/i]
position, bartender
how long you’ve had the job, 3 months
are you happy, with my job? it's alright...the tips are def the best part.
what is your salary, well i get like, $10 an hour. but with tips its way more.
what kind of things do you spend money on, normal shit. coffee, shoes, cat food, cigs, books, the paper.
what’s your typical day like, [/i]
pretty boring. i get up and have coffee, feed my cat samson, go to school depending on what day it is...if it's monday or friday i usually just skip and borrow someone's notes but if it's t/w/th i try to make it. usually i'll have lunch with whoever i'm dating, but right now that's no one so most days i come back to my apartment to eat with samson. then i go to my afternoon classes and afterwards i usually hang out at one of an array of apartments (charlie's, erin's, naomi's or theo's). i go shopping like six times a week...it's actually a really big problem. i'm nearly always broke cause i spend all my money on shoes and shit i don't need. then i go home to feed samson and eat a granola bar before work. i work nights, it pays the best.
what life dreams did you have in high-school, have you accomplished them, [/i]
i used to want to be a writer. you know, like an author. i mean i guess i still can, but i've kind of given up on it. the pay's shit for authors these days, unless you're fucking j.k. rowling or stephenie meyer (who writes like a ninth grader, fyi). and i want to have a family, and all that. but like, i still have time for that. no need to rush into anything.
what is a significant change within the past five years, [/i]
uh...well my sister died. she had leukemia, so it wasn't like we didn't see it coming. but it still sucked. yeah. i don't really like talking about it. and i guess also i haven't been in a relationship for like...almost a year. that's probably the longest i've gone without having a boyfriend. my last was this deadbeat writer, mathias. he was so damn cute but the biggest mooch ever. we were together when briony died. briony, that's my sister. and he was just really..i don't know, not helpful about the whole ordeal. oh, and i also had an abortion. i know, busy five years, right.
are you the same person you were five years ago, [/i]
that's a stupid question. is anyone ever the exact same person they were after years and years? of course not.
if you could go back and change one thing what would it be, [/i]
to have briony back. or do you mean like something that's actually possible to change?
what is one thing you feel has remained the same, [/i]
my brother. he's my rock.
what is your biggest achievement, [/i]
probably getting into the u of rochester, aka out of chicago. i know a lot of people didn't think i could - my grades were never the best (not that u of r is that great a school, but it's pretty good) and nobody thought i would make it in new york. but here i am, after 3+ years.
and your biggest mistake, [/i]
getting an abortion.
finally, what is your fondest life memory thus far,[/i]
all the memories i have with briony. i just treasure them.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/sub][/font]
