Damien: sighs heavily Yooo, did youuu hear my poem? It was... intense, right?
ok damien.. tell me about yourself
Ughhh, I don't know whyyyy I even botherssss with blind dates...total disaster, amirite? rolls eyes Sooo, you wanna know about me? Welllll, let's just sayy I'm all about that punk rock life and writing poetry to vent my soul...
so your day job is being an poet?
Naa, I'm just a North American high school student and an only child. My dad works a 9-5 and my mom is a part-time yoga instructor.
what is your favorite thing to do?
I really enjoy writing poetry and lyrics, and I also love listening to punk rock and underground hip hop. It helps me escape from reality, you know?
where do you go to school?
I went to a magnet high school for the arts, which was basically a breeding ground for creative types. It was amazing!
Actually, I did attend a summer camp for aspiring writers. It was this super cool place where I met some amazing writers and learned so much about honing my craft.
I'm 18 years old, turning 19 in March. I feel like I'm at that awkward in-between stage, not quite a adult, not quite a teen either...
Sagittarius, here and there. I've always felt a bit of a free spirit within me, you know?
Hell yeah, I love music! I listen to everything from underground hip hop to post-punk and shoegaze. Some of my favorites are acts like Run The Jewels, The Jesus Lizard, and Slowdive. But honestly, I love anything that makes my ears bleed in a good way!
Honestlyyy, can't stand mainstream pop music... it's so basic and laptop-friendly ughh
Give me something raw, something real, something with substance. You know? Like, give me some N.W.A or Public Enemy or some real hip hop.
sigh Why do people always judge me for being 'edgy' or whatever? Can't they see I'm just trying to express myself?!
well they have their opinions
Ugh, opinions are like assholes - everyone's got one and they're all full of shit. You know?
so how does your family feel about you?
Well, my parents are somewhat supportive, I guess. They're cool, but they don't really get my whole "artistic vibe". They're more about that 9-5 grind. As for siblings, I'm an only child, which can be kinda lonely sometimes. But it also means that I've got no one to compete with for attention!
