[/size][/font]so so this is the interview application application. explain your character through a series of conventional and unconventional questions.
[/color]BASICS
what is your full name? nicknames? age? birthday?: my full name? didn’t i answer this one already? oh well, it’s connor noah samuels. i don’t know, it’s not really anything special, if you ask me. i don’t really have any particular nicknames, either; people just call me connor. i’m twenty-one years old.
are you a brookwell high school student or a university student? oh, oops, are you a local or a teacher? if you are a teacher or a local, what is your job?: i’m a university student; i’m a junior this year. almost out of this place! i’m majoring in elementary education. currently i’m working part time at a coffee shop, and hoping to get an intern spot soon at a school.
how boring. let's get into the juice stuff, are you taken? married? in love? or are you single and free? and are you happy with your relationship status?: i’m.. very much single... there’s no way there’s love in the future for me. i’ve given up on the entire idea of it. it just doesn’t exist for me.
where were you born? are you an american citizen or do you have citizenship in other countries as well? and what is your background, like your family background?: my background is pretty boring. i have french and german in my blood, and i’m totally from new york. the state though, not the city; i grew up in buffalo. okay, so it’s still a city, but not the one that this state is known for, you know? i think i’m totally just making myself look like a fool here.
whats a typical day like for you? like, take us through your morning routine? do you even eat breakfast, you know it's the most important meal of the day, right? a typical day for me? yeah, it actually does start with breakfast. got two mouths to feed in this apartment. after breakfast i bring avery to daycare, then it’s a full day of classes. after that i pick avery back up, and bring her home, give her a snack, do some homework and studying, supper, time with her, then bed. honestly, there’s no time for me to do anything else anymore. throw work in there whenever there are a few spare hours.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/color]
[/color]POINT OF VIEW
what is your opinion on love?: there is no such thing.
what is your opinion on family?: my family means the world to me. i don’t know, i feel like i really wouldn’t even be here alive today if it hadn’t been for them. after i lost my fiancé, i was a total wreck, and things weren’t going well at all. my family was the only thing i had left, and they were totally there for me no matter what. it sounds sappy, i know, and it makes me seem like a girl. but i seriously would die without them. and not to mention my daughter, she’s my entire world. she’s only three and i can honestly say that nothing better has ever happened to me.
what is your opinion on soul mates?: well, i really don’t understand how you can have a soul mate when there’s no love out there for me... let people go and believe what they wish. let them go through life thinking they’re going to find someone they love. and maybe they really think it’s that. but that bullshit’s just not for me anymore.
what is your opinion on violence?: they say it’s never the answer, but i don’t know, i guess i’m sort of in the middle on this one. it’s just not always the best answer, if you ask me. it can often be very helpful. actually, it’s great for relieving stress.
what is your opinion on truth; does it even exist?:oh there’s truth alright, and it sucks when it comes out. it’s just pain for everybody. at the same time, though, it’s definitely necessary, and is usually worth the pain. people don’t like being lied to, they don’t like being kept in the dark. it’s one of the worst parts of being a human. the truth hurts, but it’s what needs to be known.
LOVE LIFE
what was your last relationship?: my last relationship was my first and my last: my fiancé, elizabeth. we were together since high school, and i really.. honestly, thought that she was the one. she made me happy... we were perfect together... she’s the mother of my child, and i was completely and utterly in love with her. the day she agreed to marry me was one of the happiest of my life. but then she broke my heart. she cheated on me, and with someone that i thought was a friend. one of my best friends, in fact. and when i found out, she didn’t apologize; she scoffed, she laughed at me, and i took my daughter and left. the one time i thought i was really happy, that i was in love, and i was wrong. but it doesn’t matter. it doesn’t really exist, anyway.
who was the last person in your bed?: my daughter, avery. she had a bad dream a few nights ago.
who was your first kiss?: elizabeth. an utter regret.
who was your first love?: if you could call my fiancé that.
what's your biggest turn on? turn off? this is a fairly uncomfortable question... i don’t know, i tend not to look at women anymore, after... yeah. a turnoff would be anything that reminds me of my ex-fiancé, though, i guess... a turn on, well, i suppose it would be nice to get to know a woman who can cook really well. lame, i know, i’m sorry. ask lame questions and you’ll get lame answers.
what exactly is your "type"? what do you look for in the opposite..or the same sex? are you heterosexual or homosexual? i’m not looking, i’ve said this. but i’m totally heterosexual.
[/color]
FAMILY
[/color]
how close are you to your family?: i’m actually really close to them, a lot closer than most twenty-two-year-olds would be. like my mom, man, i love her to death. then my little girl, well, if i haven’t gotten the point across yet how much she matters...
who are you closest to in your family?: my little girl, avery. she’s the world to me. within the family i was born with, though, it would have to be my mother. she was the one that was there for me the most after i went through everything last year, and she’s still there for me today.
who can't you stand in your family? it's okay, we won't tell anyone: well, my uncle jim used to terrify me when i was little, i remember that. he would chase me around the house and i’d scream and my parents thought i was playing but i was legitly terrified of that man. he scared the shit out of me. those tears weren’t tears of laughter. it’s a lame answer, i know, but i really don’t have a problem with anyone else in my family...
what is your relationship like with your mother? father?: i’m close with both of them. i used to be closer to my dad than i was with my mom, when i was little and all, yeknow. i was the only child, and i was a boy, so i spent all my time with dad, playing sports and all that shit. i didn’t spend a ton of time with my mom; i only came to appreciate her recently.
how old were your parents when they met? how old was your mother when she had you?[/color] my parents met each other in college, i think. dad was a senior when mom was a junior. they didn’t have me until a couple years later, after they were married. it was pretty respectable, actually, how they waited and everything...
THIS OR THAT[/color]
fight or flight?: flight.
milk or soda?: milk, all the way.
cat or dog?: dog... i’m definitely not a cat sort of person.
library or club?: i don’t know, i guess library... i mean, it could be a mix of both, but with a three-year-old daughter, i haven’t had time for any sort of clubbing in the past year.
[/color]
LAST..
[/color]
text message, from who: jackson. don’t judge.
fully played song on your ipod: kaleidoscope eyes, by panic! at the disco.
food that you ate: chicken strips. it was lunch. don’t judge, again...
person you hugged? kissed?: my daughter, for both of these.
movie that you watched: alice in wonderland. it’s avery’s favorite..
person that you said i love you to: again, avery. i feel like she’s the answer to everything on here.
illegal thing that you did: pretty sure it would be stealing... it’s sort of a bad habit, i guess, but it’s not something i do all the time. however, times are hard, as a single father and a college student...
illegal thing that you did: ...seriously?
significant change in your life: without a doubt, my daughter. i know, connor, shut up about your kid... but hey, you’re asking about me, so she’s gonna be the answer for almost everything in some way. she truly and honestly is, though. she was completely unexpected, but i wouldn’t trade any of my memories with her for the world.
SELF
tell us something that you want to change about yourself? my past. enough said. i also wish, though, that sometimes i wasn’t so bitter around women in general because really, it’s not their fault that one fucked up everything for me.
everyone has a big achievement, what's yours? what's your biggest regret? getting this far through college, i guess? i would consider it an accomplishment to make it this far. otherwise, after all, there isn’t much else that i can say that i’m proud of in my life. regrets, however, there’s many of those. i regret so many things i’ve done; the worst one is being with elizabeth. i still can’t believe i wasted so many years of my life just to have it all crash down when the truth hit. at the same time, i wouldn’t have avery if it hadn’t been for her, however.
did you see yourself having this kind of life five years ago? where do you think you will be in five or even ten years from now? five years ago, i didn’t expect any of this. i didn’t expect to have a daughter, for one, but mostly i didn’t expect to be single. it’s for the best, however, and i wouldn’t change that. in five years i want to be working as an elementary teacher; it’s what i’m going for in school, after all, and i couldn’t see myself doing anything else at this point.
anything else that you feel we should know about you? any dirty little secrets?i’m really not a bitter person. i’m worried that after this thing you must feel like i spend my entire life bitching about my life, and my ex, and everything that’s ever gone wrong, but really, i don’t. that’s not a dirty little secret, but it had to be said.[/color]
