"uh, we've definitely met before. you don't remember? alright, i'm nate hurst, i'm twenty-four years old, i've been in los angeles about a month, and before that i was at school at columbia college. i sing in wolves and foxes and we got signed, so that's what i do right now." "RIGHT RIGHT, SORRY. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." "i'm pretty chill, i guess. i like to think i'm sort or a calming influence on my friends but i guess they think i'm just being lazy. i won't rush things if i don't think it's necessary, because who needs to stress themselves out so much when life is as short as it is? that was sort of deep, wow. i'm a secret philosopher, apparently, i say things like this sometimes and people just tend to give me funny looks and get on with their business. people always tell me that they don't think i'm capable of being mean or malicious, and i'd say that they were probably right - as far as i'm concerned there's no need for it and it's pointless hurting people, regardless of whether you think they 'deserve' it or not. i joke around of course, but you know i don't mean it. unless it's directed at travis. but no, honestly i really don't wish bad things on anybody, not even people like my dad. i just accept it and move on, man. so unlike my dad, i do keep my promises. i guess when i give my word on anything it's not something to take lightly, a few years ago i was too scared of commitment to even think about making promises i wasn't sure i could keep, but these days i find things a little easier. i don't like to disappoint people, so i hate it when somebody can't take no for an answer. i guess i've got quite a good temper in the sense that little annoyances don't get to me, i've got a long fuse but when your time runs out then you're in trouble, because i explode. i've gotten that angry maybe three times in my life, it's just not me. the thing that has set me off every single time is somebody messing with the people i love. just don't go there, and we're all good." "INTERESTING! WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU SAID YOU COME FROM?" "delaware - i grew up in newark, actually. my dad didn't stick around very long after my little sister, megan, was born. i have so much love and respect for my mom, she raised us pretty much single-handedly and made it so we never really felt like we were missing out not having a dad. he showed up once or twice when we were growing up, but i didn't speak to him then and i don't now. right from when i was little my friends never lived more than five minutes away from me, we grew up together and we were pretty much inseperable, i honestly wouldn't have had it any other way because as cliché as it sounds, those years defined me. you know the next part of the story - travis, ethan, levi, ace, and myself formed a band which we called the weekend theory, and my god the next few years seem like they went by so quickly. we dropped a few albums, toured really extensively, did everything we needed to to be successful and grew up pretty damn fast. i loved it more than anything else, i got to live the dream and do it all with my best friends, not only in the band but also with our crew. we went our separate ways about two years ago, ethan started a family and travis went into talks with relapse, and i went to study music at columbia college. my minor? oh, food studies, yeah i enjoyed that! i'm glad i got to experience college life really, i met some other guys through my classes and we became wolves and foxes. not that the band even had a name for the first year or so, it was more of a side thing to start with but travis offered to sign us a couple of months back, and music became my main priority again. i think it always has been and always will be, if i'm honest. not that i don't value the other things in my life,i wouldn't dream of taking my family and friends for granted, or my girl. " "WOW. SO WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOU LIKE?" "i think the majority of my time is spent cooking and eating, i'm totally serious. my routine's changed a little since i got back from college, but when i get up breakfast is always the first thing i do. i'm good after a bagel or two, or maybe a couple of pop tarts, plus i drink tea because coffee is too much when i wake up. if i'm in delaware i usually go see my mom, and she makes me lunch a lot of the time, since she's a chef and a better cook than i am. if i haven't seen them already i usually meet travis and ethan and emily, and my other friends, and then i just do whatever for the rest of the day. LA's usually more focused around the band, we practise quite a long when we have shows coming up, and if we haven't we'll just hang and have jam sessions, write a little if we feel like it. of course we do all the stuff the label wants us too, we do press and all that kind of thing, and if travis and ethan are in town i usually end up at the offices, or get lunch - i know all the good places to eat around here. i try to skype with my girlfriend most days, it's become a regular thing and it helps the distance, what with her still being in chicago." "NICE. LAST QUESTION... WHY ARE YOU WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?" "honestly? i can't stay away from music, i'd like to be in the industry for as long as i can, because it's what i love to do and there's nothing else to it. in a sense, wolves and foxes is just starting out and if we even have half the success of twt then it would make me so happy. things are different now and who knows if the weekend theory will ever come off hiatus? we're all happy as things are at the moment, but i'd never say never, even if we're all elderly at the time. on a personal level, maybe i'll get settled, these things don't scare me so much any more so i might give myself a chance. " "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?" "i'm sort of hungry." hey there, the name's evie. i live in the gmt time zone and this is my first character. |
