" well hi hello good morning. i’m mae lawrence. but please, just call me mae since there’s really no way to shorten that haha. i was never one for nicknames, really. but i’m twenty three and i sing and play the keyboard for the quarter club. i’ve been doing that forever now, really! can’t imagine life without that. oh, or without starbucks but that’s a given!" "RIGHT RIGHT, SORRY. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." "well, i’m sure i’m a complicated person and it would be hard to talk about myself for hours on end, right? but i’ll give it a shot anyways. so i suppose i’m friendly, since i will talk to and hold a conversation with just about anyone. granted i’m not always the one to start the conversation, but hey, that doesn’t matter too much right? as long as we end up having a good conversation that won’t matter! helps me meet new and interesting people. i’ve been told that i’m flirtatious in my conversations, but i never think i am. i hardly ever flirt! but, i guess some people see my friendliness that way? i don’t know, maybe i should change my name to accidentally flirtatious, except that would be silly. hmm, let me see. i’m pretty optimistic. i try not to focus on the negatives of things and always look on the bright side because life is too short to always be down on yourself or upset about things. i try not to think about consequences or whatever. my parents kind of brought me up that way and taught me that living free and being a free spirit with nothing tying me down is the way to be...so i’ve grown up thinking that and obviously becoming that. a free spirit i am and i like having nothing to tie me down to wherever i happen to be at the moment. i mean sometimes that gets me in trouble with certain things, but i try not to think about that and i sure don’t want to talk about it, sorry! let’s see, i’ve been described as flighty before from pretty much all my ex-boyfriends. i mean, it’s not my fault all of them felt suffocating and i felt i needed out before i grew too attached to someone like that, right? ...right? this is where you agree with me...okay, moving on then. so even though i’m somewhat ‘flighty’ and a ‘free spirit’, i’m definitely passionate about my music. i’ll pour my heart and soul in to it without a second thought. hell, i’ve been doing it so long it’s my life at this point! i kind of have to be passionate about it hahaha. i mean i can be passionate about other things in life - and i guess affectionate but it sounds weird saying i am, you know? anyways, i think that about sums me up, wouldn’t you?" "INTERESTING! WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU SAID YOU COME FROM?" "well, like i said i guess you could say i was raised by hippies, or something. i mean they both had jobs since we lived in a fairly nice house, but everything was free and organic and you know how it goes. i was told to follow my dreams and to be free every day, so that’s what i learned. i did end up going to school, so they must not have been complete hippies, haha. though they did grow marijuana in our backyard...but that’s beside the point! so in high school i developed a penchant for music beyond the casio keyboard my parents had gotten for me when i was 6, and ended up studying piano and singing in the school’s chorus. i applied to art and music schools since that’s what i wanted to do and my parents obviously had no objections. they were busy teaching my siblings the same things they’d taught me at that point. so i ended up going to nyu on a scholarship. i ended up graduating a few years ago, and now i’m just living life and seeing where it takes me." "WOW. SO WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOU LIKE?" "well! my days are just so exciting i bet you’re super pumped to hear about them! first i wake up at some point, and then i shower and get dressed like everyone probably does, and then i head to my absolute favorite place on the planet - that being a starbucks, and i spend a good few hours drinking my coffee and people watching...and probably writing some songs or thinking about writing songs before i actually get out of starbucks and practice - either with band members or without. then i just kind of see where the night takes me! hint: it’s usually back to the greatest place on earth." "NICE. LAST QUESTION... WHY ARE YOU WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?" " well i’m where i am right now thank to a lot of hard work, just like the rest of the band! you don’t get this sort of opportunity handed to you without doing anything. well i know we all can’t be in bands forever, but i would like it if this could last as long as it can. i don’t tend to think too much about the future anyways, what’s the point when there’s now to look forward to? but i suppose i could see myself teaching keyboard to kids or just kind of remaining somehow involved in music since it is my passion." "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?" "contrary to popular belief my blood type is not coffee and no, i am not dating any of the boys in the band. " hey there, the name's charlie/callie. i live in the eastern time zone and this is my third character.
