First Post!!

Hi guys! Some of you may be readers of my other blog, Ramblings & Grahamblings.
I started this blog to get me thinking creatively again, and writing again.

For starters, we're just going to introduce some characters for this series...after I have the basic, main characters down I will begin writing scenes -- although they may not necessarily connect at first.

I'm going to do something a little interesting here, to flesh out the characters...also because it's more fun for me this way....those obnoxious surveys off of Myspace? Yup, I'll be making character bios off of those. :D

Here's our main character (or at least who we're envisioning as the main character):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Nathanial Haksil
Siblings: Natanial has two older siblings, a brother and a sister.
Parents/Guardians: Nathanial's mom and dad are still happily married. He gets along best with his mother.
Birthdate: April 16th, 1987
Appearance: As far as Nathanial is concerned, his looks are the main thing he has going for him. He's slim, but not too skinny, and seriously toned. His hair is blonde -- slightly too blond to be called "dirty blond" but darker than platinum blond -- and is always styled to perfection. He has deep blue eyes that occassionally have a greenish tint.
Style: He's kind of preppy, and seriously a label whore although he makes an effort to mix his labels together to create his outfits. He is known for going for looks over comfort.
Hobbies: He's a performer through and through, acting whenever he gets a chance. He also loves modeling, and is known for posing whenever a camera is around -- even if it belongs to a stranger and may not be pointed in his direction. He's addicted to flirting, and frequently finds himself having led along some poor boy who wants more from him. He does yoga to maintain his physique. He also enjoys seeing movies and plays, as well as going out to clubs.
Education: Nathanial is in college, although he sees it as a chore -- a means of getting out of his no-where town and out into the world where he can finally fulfill his dreams.
Sexuality: Homosexual
Dreams: Nathanial dreams of being a movie star or a model, and, in his dreams, he is all but in charge of the Hollywood "It" scene.
Fears: His greatest fear is never finding someone who will love him. He tells people his greatest fear is spiders, which he is actually afraid of but not to the extent he pretends.
Celebrity Crush: Channing Tatum
Introvert or Extrovert: Extroverted to an extreme, but not necessarily open about things.
Happy or Depressed: Nathanial always acts happy, but he is rarely as joyful as he seems.
Indoors or Outdoors: Indoors whenever possible.
Single or Taken: Single, almost all of the time.
Favorites:
Season: Spring, it's the only time of year where being outdoors is about the same temperature as being indoors.
Food: The old classic, pepperoni pizza, will always hit his spot.
Dessert: Cheesecake
Places to Eat: Diners, especially in the wee hours.
Least Favorites:
Season: Winter.
Food: Haggis.
Dessert: Jell-O
Places to Eat: Fast food restaurants make him want to gag.

Great outline.

"Extroverted to the extreme, but not necessarily open about things."

Wow, that's me. Except of course I'm 20 years older than him...
