| [atrb= border, 0, true] christian erik thomas. fionn. | I don't really know what to tell you. My name's Christian Erik Thomas, and I'm twenty three years old. I'm a newly qualified teacher, fresh out from graduating with honours. My degree was in Education, based on Mathematics. I graduated from the University of California just a couple of weeks ago, but I had an in at this school in Florida, so I thought I might as well go there and see if teaching really is my thing, I mean, at the moment, it's only teaching Math to the kids that failed it last semester. How hard could it possibly be? It's a good job, I get good money, and I get away from California for a while. No complaints from me. OK, so you want to know things about me.... Um, I've lived in California my whole life. My parents are still alive and well and married. Weird, right? As an institution, marriage is stupid. As a business industry... Well, they've certainly done well out of it, considering the divorce process is an offshoot of the whole wedding industry. As you can tell, I'm pretty sceptical about the whole marriage thing. Mostly because I've been close to the altar once already, to have it all shot to pieces. If you need to hear the story, fine. Here it is in short form. I fell for a girl, we started seeing each other, she got pregnant so I tried to do the right thing. I was at the altar waiting for her, and instead of her coming down the aisle, I get her brother with a note off her. She cheated on me and the kid wasn't mine. Won't be going through that shit again. Ummm... Changing the subject.... Yeah, I have a little brother. He's called Damian, and he's a total pain in my ass. He used to follow me around and copy everything I did, and it got really irritating. Since I went to college, though, he seems to have got a bit better – developed his own kinda personality, y'know? But still, he's a little too much like me for my liking. I mean, he's a great kid, but I don't want a little clone of me running around. I guess he looks a little like me, but that's about as far as I want it to go. But he's due to go to college next year, and I think he might be doing Forensic Science, so I'm happy for the kid. I mean, yeah, I did think of doing that myself, but at the end of the day, I decided different. Hopefully he'll stick to his guns, though, and do it. It's a good job, a good wage packet. He'd be an idiot not to do it. Yeah, I guess he did kinda hero worship me. Dunno why, though. Maybe it was because Mom and Dad weren't around that much. Not in a bad way. Just in a 'trying to provide for us' kinda way. I don't really... I don't like talking about myself. People say it's a British trait, and maybe it is. But I'm not British. I'm just.... I guess I'm a little insecure, yeah, but mostly I just don't want to say anything that people are gonna laugh out loud at. But here goes. People have told me that I'm observant. I mean, noticing when people have had haircuts or when they're having a bad day... Is that really observant? I suppose it might be a little OCD, but I can tell when people have moved things in places that I frequent too. It doesn't usually bug me, unless it's my own personal stuff, but I can tell anyway. Errr... I'm loyal, I love my family, and I love helping people. I mean, I've taught during my course, because I had to do this little placement thing at a local school, and it was an amazing feeling to see the looks of dawning comprehension on their faces. Not many of their faces, because some of them were staring at the clock or the floor. I think one kid might have been asleep, but that's beside the point... The ability to impart knowledge upon people and have them actually understand it is really cool. I love it. I'm weird, I know. It's not the best job in the world, but the feeling of satisfaction.... Really, you have to experience it. Aside from that.... I don't really know what I can tell you. I have brown hair, green-y coloured eyes, and a lot of tattoos. And before you go on one of those self-righteous rants, yes, they do all have significance to me. But mostly my students don't see them because I wear a suit to work. Well, a shirt at least. And yes, before you ask, I am still single. And I don't really know if I'm looking yet. For girls. Only girls. Well, women. You know what I mean. Whatever. I need to go pack.
