Re: Billy/Atticus
It's truly a gift that should be cherished. Fortunately I have been blessed with a similar skill set, so I'm sure that chance to practice is very much inevitable. Just wait five minutes.
And hey, unexpected bonus of living on a deserted island? You can blast that shit at full volume. Get down with your bad self.
It's not like you're a complete hermit, though. Or, okay, at least not until the tiny house in the woods and all the whiskey. Which was fairly recent. And even then you still let me tag along and park on your land.
No, I fully approve of the comparative lack of apathy. Dare I even say open interest. I think I've worn you down enough after several years that you have realized it's easier to throw me scraps of emotional honesty, even if just to get me off your back. But even that can be like pulling teeth if you've made up your mind to be obstinate.
What, you want the CliffsNotes? Middle child of five, grew up on the Upper West Side. Ran away from my family when I was barely 18 and made it as far as Hookerville. You were one of the first people I met when I first moved here, actually. Don't worry, not a client. Although I flirted shamelessly with you on the forums without even knowing you and then we bumped into each other in the comic book shop, where there was more shamelessness on my part (in my defence, teenaged prostitute thoroughly out of water, etc.) and much uncomfortable stammering on yours. Later you ended up cooking me lobster and offering me a job at the B&B. Hmm, what else... some people think I get defensive easily and tend to take things too personally. 'Emotionally volatile'. Spent a few months locked in a basement until I accidentally blew up the building and lost my magic for a while. I like sci-fi and comic books and skateboarding. Oh, love anything leopard print.
