I'm alright...
Ivan Aylward 
Behind the Curtain they call me :: Six. Just Six, I don't like my real name. It was the number of my room at an addictions clinnic I found myelf in at one point. I wouldn't tell anyone my name, so they referred to me by my room number. And the name stuck. it's a living :: I work odd jobs, basically whatever I can get for as long as I can keep it. I also get money from selling drugs, from time to time. born as :: A boy. i desire :: I'd like girls, if I cared about that kind of thing. candles on the cake :: Nineteen.
Just a Figment window to my soul :: Dull green. flowing free :: Brown, and usually messy. all of me :: I'm tall, but lanky, definately not fit. this skin of mine :: Average caucassian. the marks i carry :: There are needle tracks on the insides of my arms, but that's pretty much it.
Inside the Mind the love :: Cigarettes, drugs, thunderstorms, the rain, cats, baked goods, sleeping in, indie music, tea, coffee, chocolate, crossword puzzles, horror movies and bridges. the hate :: Fast food, being interrupted, having to explain myself over and over, loud people, hospitals, and being cold. the fear :: I'm scared of the end of the world due to global warming and other ecological disasters, that I'll never see my brother or father again, and dolls. They creep me out, okay? locked away :: Honestly, I hate being an addict, even if I don't act like I do. The drugs only make my problems worse, but I can't stop now. I'm in too deep.
purely me :: Let's see... I'm generally pretty quiet and solemn. I'm easily annoyed though, especially when I'm in a bad mood, so I tend to come off rather moody sometimes. It's not particularly hard to get on my good side though, and once you are, I'm a pretty nice guy. I'm not overly enthusiastic about anything, but I'm nice enough, I guess, even if I don't go out of my way to be social or anything.
I have this habbit of ignoring problems. Mine and other peoples'. Worrying about them just frustrates and upsets me a lot of the time, so I push them aside, and take my mind off them, usually with drugs. This approach usually only causes more problems, I know, but that's just one of the problems I try to ignore.
When I'm high, I'm usually more fun to be around. I'm upbeat and energetic, and can't sit still. I have to be standing, or moving, or doing something. When I'm not high, I'm a little more moody and quick-tempered and really, really lazy. If I'm going through withdrawl for some reason, I tend to avoid people, since my temper's usually really bad and all that. You know, general withdrawl stuff. only a memory :: Huh. Welll, I grew up with my dad and younger brother in a dingy little appartment in the city. My mom left us when I was 10, and my brother was 5. We never really had it very easy even when she was around, so when she left, dad had to pick up another job just to support us, and didn't have much time for me and my brother, who were never very close. It got so I never even saw my dad very often. If he wasn't at work, he was trying to sleep. So I learned to take care of myself.
Eventually I reached junior high. And that's when I was intrduced to drugs. I didn't know very many people, and didn't have many friends, so I started hanging out with "The Wrong Crowd". The ones who cut classes to smoke cigarettes and other nasty substances behind the gym. When they asked if I wanted to try it, I said sure. And when I did, I realized, if I did enough, my problems seemed to go away for a while. It was wonderful. The rest of school passed in kind of a blur. I ended up dropping out, and spending a couple weeks in an addictions clinic, thanks to a couple teachers who'd caught me. Once I got out, I found out my brother had run away from home. I never saw him again. Seeing the stress I was still causing my dad, I decided to do the same.
I spent time in all kinds of places, from halfway houses, to tiny appartments with cheap rent, to the streets. I live in appartments until I run out of money to pay the rent, then move to the streets until I get another job somehow. Basically, I live the way my income allows me to, just as long as I have access to drugs.
