Hey. It's Jay. Go ahead an leave your name and number at the beep.

*beep*

OOC: Please leave any IC or OOC messages for Jay or his mun here.

Just because I'm nice doesn't mean I'm naive. It also doesn't mean I lack a grasp on reality or that I have my head in the clouds. Stupid meme.

Name: Jay

Colorgenics Number: 12345607

You are the sort of person that needs a peaceful environment. You seek release from stress and freedom from conflicts and disagreements, of which you seem to have had more than your fair share. But you are taking pains to control the situation by proceeding cautiously and you are right in doing so as you are a very sensitive person.

You are a true extrovert, frivolous and outgoing. You need to feel in control of any situation. If matters are not proceeding according to plan you tend to get extremely irritable and perhaps become difficult to live with.

Being a very proud individual, you tend to hold yourself aloof pretending that you are stoical - indifferent to pain and pleasure. This is not so, for in truth you are an extremely emotional individual, one that may make a hasty decision and perhaps regret it at leisure. It is time now to break the bond of detachment and be the 'you' that you would like to be - give vent to your emotions and enjoy yourself.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.


How the hell do they get all that from a bunch of colored boxes?

Honestly, I don't wanna be left alone, I just want all the fighting to stop.

1. What is your character's relationship with food? Is s/he a picky or hearty eater? Live to eat, or eat to live? Special dietary requirements?
Jay was kind of a picky eater as a kid, but has mostly grown out of that. He doesn't have any special dietary requirements, and he's not one to overeat or indulge very often.

2. Does your character have any food allergies, or substances s/he avoids for dietary reasons?
He's not allergic to anything, and he doesn't avoid certain foods for any other reason than he doesn't like it.

3. Has your character ever had any sort of eating disorder, food poisoning, or other food related difficulties?
He's never really had much in the way food related difficulties. He may have had food poisoning at some point, but it wasn't drastic enough to effect him later on.

4. What sort of ethnic foods did your character eat / learn to prepare as part of their cultural background?
Coming from a large family in Kentucky, Jay grew up eating a lot of typical American food, burgers, fried chicken, meatloaf that sort of thing. A good portion of their vegetables came from their personal garden, and some from the crops they grew after his father died.

5. What is your character's comfort food?
Jay's favorite is cherry pie, warmed up with some ice cream on top. He also has a weakness for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

6. What food is his/her favorite food? Least favorite?
His favorite food is pepperoni and sausage pizza, and he's not very fond of most green vegetables, especially lima beans and bell peppers.

7. Does your character cook for himself/herself? How well? Do they cook for others? Enjoy cooking, or view it as a chore?
He can cook for himself when he needs to, his mother sees to it that all of her kids are self sufficient and won't starve if they have to cook for themselves. He'd really rather not if he doesn't have to, but he can.

8. What sort of foods does your character purchase when grocery shopping? How often do they shop? Do they visit specialty food stores?
When he has to get his own food, he tends to buy a lot of convenience items. Boxed meals, canned soups and the like.

9. Does your character ever hunt/fish/gather their own food?
When he was back in Kentucky, he used to fish in the nearby river, He didn't do a whole lot of hunting, but they did keep chickens, so there was always a steady supply of meat and eggs.

10. When eating out, what sort of restaurants do they choose? What do they order there?
Usually diner type places. Somewhere he can get a burger and a milkshake. Or waffles if it's breakfast.

11. How are your character's table manners? Does s/he have dining etiquette enough to use the right fork? Chew with mouth open?
Lucinda Guthrie doesn't tolerate bad manners. No talking with your mouth full, or chewing with your mouth open. He'd probably be at a loss as to which fork to use, since he's never really needed to know. But overall, his manners are pretty good.

12. How has your character's diet changed over their lifetime? Are there foods they hated and learned to eat?
He's actually gotten a lot less picky as he's gotten older. He tolerates most vegetables now, whereas when he was younger corn was about all that he liked. He will even occasionally eat a salad, as long as there is dressing on it.

Friday night. Normally Jay would be in his room trying to get his homework done, or down in the rec room watching movies with the rest of the students. But not this particular Friday night. Tonight, he was heading into town to Buzz Coffee for their Open Mic night. Since coming to Xavier's he usually kept to himself, and tried to be as inconspicuous as possible, but he'd been seeing those signs for a couple of weeks now, and when he had found out that Nori worked the early evening shifts, he decided he'd check it out. Might as well, right? If they gave Nori a job, they must be okay with mutants. At least that was what he was hoping as he stands just to the right of the front entrance to the coffeehouse, staring at the pale blue flier taped to the door.

Fridays Here @ Buzz Coffee:

Open Mic

All Poets, Performing Artists and Musicians Welcome

The grip on his guitar case tightens as he opens the door and finds himself a seat. This should be fun.

( 11-30 under here )

Due to RL circumstances, I am moving tomorrow, unfortunately this means that Jay will only be around sporadically for a while. The place I am moving to has 'net access, but I won't have my computer up and running for the first bit I am there. The computer I will have access to, I will only be able to use in the evenings, and I am not allowed to download anything on it, so no AIM for a while. If you have my contact e mail address, you might be able to reach me via GTalk if you need to. If you need me, you can always drop me a PM or a comment in his Voice Mail post, and I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks

1. Who is your character's PB?
Teddy Geiger

2. Which came first, the character or the PB?
The character, he's canon from the New Mutants

3. Why did you choose this particular PB?
I was originally looking for a teenage male redhead because that's what Jay is in canon. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find one that hasn't been in a Harry Potter movie :P

4. How close is the PB to your character? What are the differences, if any?
They are both musicians, and Teddy's facial structure plus his leaner body type is pretty right on for a real life representation of a comic book character.

5. Have you modified the PB in any way to be more like your character?
I finally had to give up the search for a male teenage redhead, there just wasn't anything that worked. Then I saw Teddy Geiger and it was like a light bulb came on inside my head. No, he's not a redhead, but I can fix that! So yeah, I change Teddy's normally near-black hair, to dark auburn, and voila! There he is. According to canon, Jay also has green eyes, but I figure since Teddy's are light blue, and icons are pretty small, it's not that noticeable.

6. Have you ever changed your character's PB / would you ever? Why, or why not?
I have changed Pb's before with characters, but Jay has been the same since day one

7. Where did you find icons of your PB, or did you make them yourself?
I have made a few from scratch, but the vast majority have come from icon base communities on here and on InsaneJournal. Unfortunately, I can't use finished icons, because most icon makers don't want their work modified or changed in any way, and since I understand the work that goes into them, I respect that and only use bases, since I have to change his hair color.

8. Is it important to have an appropriate PB for your character? Why or why not?
I think it is pretty important because that way people have a concrete example of what the character looks like.

9. Have you ever been favorably/unfavorably predisposed towards a character because you liked or didn't like the PB choice?
There are a couple canon Pb's running around that I think are terrible choices, but that doesn't keep me from interacting with them, and I try not to let my opinions color the way I react to the character.

10. Have you ever had a character who was represented by text icons / no icon only because they were too difficult to find a PB for?
Easy answer: No

ooc: anybody that wants to jump in rp style or whatever, feel free. I just saw this and had to do it, because it was just too perfect.

Picture Prompt 10 - "The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thought"

Even in the early evening, it was still warm as he enjoys the wind rushing through his hair. His wings spread wide, he glides down to land gently on the roof of the boathouse. He couldn't help it, he had to get out. Everyone was on edge, and all he had been doing for the last 2 days was dwelling on it. Sam was back, and everyone was mad. They had every right to be. He left them. AGAIN. No word, no warning, just up and left his family, his friends and his fiancee. He just had to get away from it all, there was a tension in the air that he swears could be cut with a knife. And that was how he found himself here.

He watches the the sun dip down below the level of the treetops as he sits on the roof, with his acoustic guitar cradled in his lap, absently strumming the strings, trying to relax. It was full dark before it came to him, as they usually did almost fully formed in his mind, along with the lyrics he had written down in haste when he had heard the news that Sam was back.

I can't believe what is in front of me, the waters rising up to
my knees
And I can't figure out, how the hell I wound up here
Everything seemed okay when I started out the other day
Then the rain came pouring down and now I'm drowning in
my fears

Green Day - Give Me Novacaine
( Take away the sensation inside )

[Locked to Guthries, Tabby, Jubes, Alex, and Cable]
Seems fitting somehow, considering everything. I shoulda been there, an I'm sorry.

Go to www.urbandictionary.com and enter the answers to the following questions in the search box then post the first result.
1) Your name? Josh
Someone who cracks jokes and roasts on people for fun. Someone who will stop whatever they are doing to make fun of somebody.
Man, that new kid Todd, he's a big josh, he's always making fun of somebody.

2) Your age? 16
Legal age for fucking in the UK.
1. Woohoo! I'm 16! Now I can go and get my brains fucked even more by some guy.
2. Shit, now I can't fuck guys over threatening statutory rape after they fuck my brains out.
3. Woohoo! My girlfriend turned 16 today. Now I can fuck her brains out in front of the cop shop! and give them the finger at the same time! ...Next day: *knock at door* "I'm afraid we're going to have to take you to the station for indecent public behavior, and for having sex with a minor - she turned 15 yesterday, not 16" ... "Shit, the fucking bitch slut!"

0.o

3) One of your friends? Sophia
a femme fatalle. with intelligence and beauty. she's an "all around girl" like LL's cut. Usually nicknamed Sophia or Phia. Very friendly, a down-ass chick, book smart and full of wisdom.

Uses "both eyes to see" the world

a wifey type that can make a man satisfied. cook good, look good and feels good.

A one of kind girl, rare to find and once you find it hold on to it till eternity.
That girl's a "Sophia", all I want in a woman. Curves like Sophia Loren, sexy prowl like Sofia Vergara, can freak you like the porn star Sophia Santi.

Not sure what she's gonna think of that...

4) What should you be doing? Homework
Homework: (Noun) a punishment given to students by evil teachers after the students have already put in 7 hours of hard labor. (See evil, torture, wrong, cruel, unjust, satan, crap)
my satan teacher gave me crap

I laughed real hard at this one

5) Favorite color? Blue
The hue of the portion of the visible spectrum lying between green and indigo, evoked in a human observer by radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 420 to 490 nanometers.
The sky is blue.

Sounds like somebody just ripped that off from my science textbook

6) Birthplace? Kentucky
One of the greatest states in the Union, ranking up there easily with Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas, New York, Ohio, Minnesota, and California. The majority of Kentucky's people are very friendly, religious or with a strong sense of morals and values, and many are also quite diverse. For example there are plenty of Kentucky natives that are composed of two races.
The inbreeding stereotype is also a load of crap, as it only exists in very sparse, few areas deep in Appalachia.

In addition, Kentucky is not entirely as Southern as people claim it is. The Bluegrass State is actually quite different with Northern/Midwestern qualities and heritage that mix with the Southern heritage and characteristics. Not everyone has thick drawls either; many more people actually have Midwest nasal twang, while a few Northern "migrants" actually talk in strong brogues or other different accents.
Bluegrass and Country are not the only forms of music, as there is also Christian, Metal, and Rock bands, as well as a very few rappers even! Countrified "Southern" food is not the only thing to eat either. Almost every known restaurant in the Nation is located somewhere in Kentucky, and some immigrants have even brought their own ethnic cuisine with them and made a business out of it!

Yep, pretty funny, huh Paige?

7) Month of your birthday? January
National Hangover Month. Because of the recent holidays and massive partying the general population spends the month hungover
"Crap I have to go back to work. Wait, Its January which means my boss will be hung over too

8) Last person you talked to? Julia
<tr> <td class="text" colspan="2"> </td></tr>

9) One of your nicknames? Jaybird
An ex-con, arrested for drunk driving and crashing ones car into a bush or tree. His first name should be Jay. In reference to the word jailbird, jaybird is such the same.
After Charles was caught drunk driving, he was called a jaybird.

Julia, I'm gonna be around for Thanksgiving. Do ya think ya might be able to get away for a bit on Friday or Saturday? Would be great ta see ya.

A Long Awaited Reunion - with laidwithangels

At this time you are really feeling quite exhausted by all the conflict and quarreling that is going on about you and you are looking for some sort of protection from this state of affairs. Ideally you are seeking a peaceful condition and a tranquil environment in which you can be afforded the chance to relax and recover.

You are feeling very vulnerable at this time. Nothing seems to be going in the right direction - business wise, private-life wise, everything. You need some emotional security and an environment which could possibly provide fewer problems, but the way you are feeling you can't be bothered even to make the effort.

Nothing seems to be going right for you and you are thwarted every way you turn. You are not at all happy with the situation but it would appear that there is very little that you can do about it at this time. Sit back and let the situation take its course, because at this time you feel that there is nothing you can do to change whatever needs to be changed.

Whatever you strive to do, something always seems to be holding you back. There is no subterfuge in you. You are a clear thinker and all you demand from life, in a relationship, is a partner whom you can trust and with whom you can, together, develop a foundation of trust based on understanding. You are your own person and you demand freedom of thought to follow your own convictions. You have no interest in 'two-timing' and all you seek is sincerity and 'straight-dealing'.

You are fed up with other people trying to influence you and you also feel that it is necessary to protect yourself from the threat that your independence and freedom may be restricted. You would just like to be left alone.


Yeah...

do you hate the new profile change? Go ahead and sign the petition

Not sure if it will do anything, but it won't hurt.

1. What is the middle name of the first person you had oral sex with?
I don't really think that is anybody's business

2. What kind of underwear are you wearing and what color?
Huh? Why? Blue plaid boxers if ya gotta know.

3. What is the song you want played at your funeral?
really don't wanna think about that, thanks.

4. What would your last meal be before getting executed?
rather not think about that either. But my favorite meal is Ma's fried chicken, with mashed potatoes.

5. The Beatles or The Stones?
They both are really good, how am I supposed to pick?

( More questions )

Family's important, it's where ya came from, and it's part of who ya are whether ya like it or not. They say ya can pick your friends, but ya can't choose your family, and I like ta think that everybody gets the family they are supposed to have. God makes sure of it.

I was little when Pa died, but I still remember. Some of it aint real clear, but it's there. I remember him bein real tall, an playin airplane, an him bein the one that started callin me Jaybird, even though I was only three and none of us had mutant powers yet. I remember him havin a real deep voice, and speaking pretty softly most of the time, and I remember bedtime stories when he wasn't workin late, and singin in church with Mama, and them both coaxing me ta sing more. I remember him coming home, and all of us mobbing him, and he would fall down on the ground laughing. I may not remember much, but the stuff I do, is all real good memories, and I'm holding on to 'em tight.

After Pa died, things were kinda rough, we never really had much but each other. One thing we could always count on though was that Ma loved us, and did her absolute best for us, any way she could. I know she worries about us here in New York, and I wish there was somethin I could do about that. I know she just wants us ta be happy, and for the most part we are. All of us. I know deep down in my heart that no matter what, if she can help out, she will. And I know that my brothers and sisters will too. All nine of 'em. We Guthries aint real well liked back home in Cumberland, because mutants aint real popular ta begin with, but ya get a big family like ours, where a lot of use are showing up with mutants powers, and folks get standoffish at best, and downright hostile at worst. Thats when ya learn who ya can count on, and why they say blood is thicker than water. He aint made it easy, but I'm pretty sure God gave me the family I was supposed ta have.
