I SEE YOUR EYES, YOU'RE BARELY SOBER.
I HEAR YOUR VOICE, YOU'RE CALLING OUT FROM ME TO YOU.
the character

if you're not a fan of obnoxious, just turn back now. tanley russo, at your service. or tanners, as my charming (gag me) family chooses to call me. it's not the nickname i have a problem with; it's the fact that it originates from them. the point i'm making here? i'm a grudge holder. and if we fight, i will get up in your face. i'm not trash, i'm not your doormat, and i'm not about to be treated that way. other than that? i basically act like i'm five years old. i don't have an extreme temper or anything, but i am quick to react, though only when it's worth reacting over. booze? hell yes. parties? there. though, i personally would prefer beating my high scores on my xbox all day, but that's just because i'm a bit of a nerd. not really into to the whole "killing your brain cells twenty four / seven" thing, even if i'm frying it anyways by staring at the screen in my pitch black house. i told you; i'm a big kid. steady diet of junk food, and painkillers. nice, right? i'm witty, and not afraid to be sarcastic, but i pretty much get along with anyone who doesn't try to get on my bad side. like i said, i'm a grudge holder.

not turned off yet? you're gonna be. i have this cheery childhood disposition, but only to the naked eye. truly? i'm a twisted and complicated human being, who prefers to shut out reality. you know, the usual home life; adopted into a family of three. three became four, brother despises me, parents are goody goodies, and bam here we are. it's not that i don't like them, and appreciate what they have done for me; it's how i got here. it's bad enough that your biological mother drinks, and drinks, and drinks, and brings home boyfriend after boyfriend, but when your biological father breaks into your little crap shack of a house with a gun, threatening to blow all of the kids to tiny bits if he doesn't get a share of the money they had been saving, you kind of realize that your life used to be absolute shit. and while in my little patch of childhood horror, i happened to become quite a pill popping addict. i need them to sleep. to move. to breathe. basically, i need them to live, even if they're killing me slowly.

still sticking around? well, since you're going to see me quite a lot, i should probably go into a bit of detail; yes, i'm short. i'm five four and proud, thank you. a high school junior, and not growing up fast enough. not that i want to be older, or look any older for that matter. i'm only recently seventeen, anyway. nothing to flaunt about. i get to act like a complete idiot at absolutely all times; and who wouldn't want that? aside from my insanely odd need to be immature, i'm also hopelessly devoted to my friends. i'll stand up for anyone, and, as a social butterfly, i love to be around people. even in my cave of a bedroom, on my xbox, i love interacting with others. come on over and play with me, if you're feeling particularly childish. the problem with my devotion to people, is my constant ever failing love life. i don't know if i'm ugly, immature, or just foolish and vulnerable. for some reason, my heart is always broken, end of story.

now that i have probably scared you out of your wits with the disgusting details of my practically meaningless little life, you should take advantage of this slight brain lapse, consider it a conclusion, and make a run for it already. i haven't got too much more to tell you, unless you plan to dive into the deep, dark contours of my brain. and even then, you'll have to earn my trust first (not that that's all that hard to do..) be seeing you.

SO SAY THAT YOU JUST WANT TO RUN AWAY.
AND REPLAY ALL THE THINGS THAT I TRIED TO SAY.
