TWENTY-ONE | BROOKLYN FIRE | FRIEND | ANDY SNYDER "SO TELL ME, WHO ARE YOU AGAIN?" " shit, you already forgot? rude. i'm aj. well, aaron james, if you wanna get all formal and in my face. everyone pretty much just calls me aj, though. my last name is radley, like that creepy old fuck from to kill a mockingbird. in case you're an idiot, that's a book. i read it in eighth grade. are we almost done? hurry up. " "RIGHT RIGHT, SORRY. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." " freaky as shit, i'm about as 'scorpio' as you can get if you follow astrological signs at all. that shit is real, i swear to god. i'm pretty um... i dunno. i call it determined, other people call it forceful. i say i'm magnetic, other people will tell you that i'm just energetic. that's if they're being nice, though. ask anyone on tour and they'll tell you what a dick they think i am. i guess i don't really care since all i do is criticize people mostly, but how are you gonna hate on a dude for bein' honest? shittttty. i like to think that i'm just like, that breath of fresh air in people's lives that they don't know they're missing. yeah, i tell people if they're looking a little bit chunky in that mini skirt, or yeah, you're trying too hard to sleep with me... but it's better than letting you live a lie and end up embarrassed. i'm basically god's gift to the world, because of that. plus, i'm super picky and meticulous about the weirdest shit. i think i have like, that cod thing. ocd? whatever. that thing where you like obsess about shit and then have to like check lights a hundred times before you leave the room or whatever. i just like routine, i guess, and i hate letting things go. " "INTERESTING! WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU SAID YOU COME FROM?" " i didn't say, you nosy... nevermind. it's cool. i can understand why you'd wanna get to know me. i was born in ocala, florida. dude, did you ever notice that that shitty rapper flo rida is just the word florida with a space in it? that's so shitty! and fucking unoriginal! he basically gives my state a bad name, you know? sucks. anyway, i was born there and i moved around the state a lot. well, like, four times, i think. i lived in orlando for a bit and that was pretty tight. my dad wasn't around really but he sent us money and shit, so i dunno what he was like. don't really care, either. my mom is a badass. she snuck me backstage at sea world and all this awesome shit to make up for me being a bored only child. she's a personal assistant to like semi-famous people so that was kind of cool, too. well, most of them were just wannabe celebs, but still. when you're like, eleven, you don't really know the difference between lance bass and kim kardashian. does that make sense? ...oh. well... anyway. even though we were kinda poor, i still ended up getting spoiled somehow while growing up. i can't complain, since my mom is doing just fine now. " "WOW. SO WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOU LIKE?" " uh... well, normally, i'd tell you that it's like, totally awesome and i wouldn't trade it for the whole world. howeeever, i dunno. like, a day in the life of aj radley is okay. that's about it. i have to deal with twelve year old girls who don't know how to fucking communicate so it's irritating. how hard is it to tell me what shirt you want, and in what size? they never tip, either! fuck. okay, sorry. anyway, the rest of my day is great. whenever the band has a signing or something i get to lurk around and watch sets, so that's rad. i love music, and even more, i love people watching. after-hours are the ultimate best, though. you can't beat crowd-surfing on a bus with all of your friends, your chick, and your favorite brews. i love a good party. wanna come some time? it'd be pretty chill, so you can if you want. " "NICE. LAST QUESTION... WHY ARE YOU WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?" " i'm uh... i'm in a... um, thing with the drummer for brooklyn fire. i'm kind of just riding out this relationship wave as an excuse to blow off college for another year, and i like it. hopefully the band with keep me around, you know? it's awesome. i don't really want to head to college because i've got no idea what i want to do, but i'm sure that'll be the next stop after tour life. " "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?" " you can meet up at merch for that party later and i'll just be your escort in. you have to bring your own booze, though. we aren't that inviting. " hey there, the name's ash. i live in the central time zone and this is my go away fuck you character.
