SMELLIOT. 21. OCTOBER 31ST. HETEROSEXUAL. YOU'RE NOT A HERO. LEAD GUITAR. ALAN ASHBY.
here's a story, just bare with me,
. one memory
“elliot, hand the peas!” the room is in chaos, hands are flying, food is flying, and voices are roaring. it is just another supper in the steele household. with ten kids between the age of five and 19, dinner is aways a fiasco, and you are rarely acknowledged. unless it is to hand the potatoes or the pepper, or in this case, the peas. it’s understandable, of course, two adults to ten children, it is easy to forget about one or two children.
“yeah, yeah,” you mumble as you reach for the peas, having to stand up and fully extend your arm to grab the dish. right beside you is your sister sofia and your stepbrother shawn; the two are fighting over something, tugging whatever it is back and forth between the two. you really aren’t paying them much attention, just merely noticing the struggle from the corner of your eye. you aren’t very keen on flat out fighting in front of your dad and your stepmother, you’d rather kick douglas or nina under the table or huck a couple carrots at carrie when the adults aren’t looking.
you reach across the table to hand the peas to your father, who is wearing a look of impatience across his stern, worn face. you know the fact that ten children are wearing on your father by the creases by the corners of his eyes and the small patches of grey hair at his temples. “here, dad,” you reply with a small smile. but he doesn’t smile back, only reaches for the dish. however, just as the dish is about to be handed off, sofia’s elbow raises swiftly and hits just below your own elbow. it must be as result of the conflict between your younger siblings, for sofia nearly flies out of her chair. just as the dish of peas flies out of your hand. in stunning silence, your entire family watches as the dish raises in the air before starting to tumble down towards the table. the green vegetable scatter about the room, landing in your hair, and on your stepmother’s shirt. a couple of your younger sisters scream as the glass dish comes tumbling to the table with a loud crash that knocks over a few glasses of orange juice and chocolate milk. the drinks are quick to stain your stepmother’s brand new table cloth. but you just stand there, frozen with your arm still extended as all eyes turn to land on you and your cheesy grin.
“ELLIOT!” your father’s voice booms throughout the large dining room, making you cringe. the stepmonster gapes at you with horror and anger before glaring at the stains on the table cloth. sofia is picking peas out of her hair, a small smirk on her face, obviously delighted in the fact that you are the one getting in trouble and not her. nina is staring at the table cloth with a frown and tries to wipe the stains off with a napkin, but she only worsens the damage. douglas and duncan are snickering; your two stepbrothers always seem to enjoy seeing you get into trouble. and your brother eric is watching with his brows raised and his arms crossed, obviously not wanting to be a part of the family fiasco. of course you got into trouble, it was the only time you were actually noticed. and the stepmonster with the bleached hair and too much mascara seems to hate you for it, and that doesn’t help.
the cheesy grin remains on your face as a few peas fall from your hair and land on the table in front of you. your father is glaring at you, making the creases by his eyes deep and you realize his age even more. at least you are being acknowledged for once. at least your father knows you are actually there, alive, in front of him and not one of those ugly birds on the wall paper.
met a drug that changed my life,
. a bunch of random facts
001. you’re always at least five minutes late to everything; practice, soundcheck, band meetings, dates, events, parties. everything. it’s not something you can help, it just happens.
002. you always seem to be friendzoned by every girl you meet. no matter how much you try, you’re always the best friend and never the boyfriend. the last time you had a girlfriend was when you were eighteen and you ended up dumping her because she didn’t agree with your dream to pursue music.
003. you have three siblings of your own, two half-silbings, and four stepsiblings. you get along best with duncan, your stepbrother, sofia, your sister, and your brother eric. the rest of your siblings you don’t keep much in contact with, only at christmases where you’d rather hide than participate. most of your older siblings have children, so family events are chaotic and massive.
004. friends come and go, but elisabeth has been your best friend for a very long time. you two tend to get along very well considering the clashing personalities. but you don’t know what you would do without her.
005. after a rough divorce, your mother moved away. and while you always seemed more fond of her than your stern father, she was reckless and had a history with alcohol, therefore, during the divorce process, full custody was given to your father over all four children. afterwards, she relapsed as a result of a dysfunctional relationship and the last time you talked to her was the night of your nineteenth birthday. you were piss drunk.
006. you got your first guitar for your ninth birthday. your dad used to play, and it was the one thing he passed down to you. plus, he actually spent time with you to teach you how to play for a couple weeks. so, you’ve loved the instrument ever since.
007. you used to play in a garage band with some friends. honestly, you guys sucked, but you had so much fun doing it that none of the band really seemed to notice the awful sounds that came from your instruments and that your lead singer’s voice cracked far too much.
008. when you were fifteen, you lost your virginity as a joke. it was your first party and you were fucked up, so naturally, you let one of the hottest girls in school lead you into a bedroom. you were a horny teenage boy, just like any other, with the opportunity of getting laid for the first time, so you didn’t protest. afterwards, you stumbled out of the room half clothed and everyone laughed at you. but you passed out a moment later. you didn’t seem to care much.
009. you always wear other bands' merch. sometimes you wear your own, but you're notorious for wearing every other bands' tee-shirts and shorts.
010. your favourite tv show is adventure time and you are often found watching it with your friend elisa on your bus.
011. you have an unhealthy obsession with cats. you love everything that has something to do with cats. short cats, fat cats, tall cats, skinny cats, black cats, white cats, you just love cats. if you could be a cat, you would be.
012. losing your pants is not out of the ordinary with you. often, well, more than just ‘often’, you lose your pants when you’re drunk. nobody knows how exactly, especially not yourself, but you sure go through a ton of pants while on tour.
013. you smoke a lot of weed.
something like a classic movie,
. the outbox
“until they make a bed that bathes you while you sleep, i will not be satisfied”
“she tried to give me her number but i just said ‘no. can’t’”
“her boobs take up a lot of room so god had to skimp on the brain”
“yeah at one point i was listening to metallica and doing pushups. i went through a lot of emotions”
“i really wanted you to get laid last night. so i posted porn on your facebook. it made sense at 3am”
“no dude i was too drunk to function. 90% sure i tried to facetime 911”
“would inbreeding be called having aunts in your pants?"
“who the fuck did i sell my right shoe to last night? i need that shit back. i’m not walking around with only one shoe”
“and then we sang “what if god was one of us” until everyone passed out in the grass”
“i ordered a million chicken go wraps and they gave me five. even when i drunk i can count to a million and know its not 5. they fucked me”
“afjjKSAJHDKJ. boobs.”
“found a stray cat and named him obe wan kenobi. can we keep him? pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplesplzzzzpleaseplzzpleasepleaseplzzzz”
