Jun. 11th, 2019 12:33 pmI think I wrote a song today, for the first time in a million years, that I don't hate? Huh. Maybe this town really is good for me.

May. 16th, 2019 11:12 amJust curious: do you have a coffee alias? If so, what's your fake coffee name? Definitely not asking because someone today saw through me saying my name was'Mark' and wrote my real name on the cup...

Previous Name: Johnny Storm
Myth: Marvel Comics
Past Life Information: You know what's weird? Taking a trip to space with your sister and friends, and getting turned into a guy who can TURN INTO FLAME at will. It's awesome. Enter The Fantastic Four, a superhero team for the ages. Johnny is the hot-headed (lol) little brother of the group, though he's compassionate and loyal. He's a Marvel wise-cracker and a good friend. Some highlights: fighting Skrulls/being fucked over by Skrulls, falling in love with an Inhuman named Crystal (she married Quicksilver, Johnny was devastated), fighting Galactus and Doom and a bunch of bad guys, falling for women that were never really right for him. He married Alicia, the longtime love of his FF teammate BFF the Thing... who turned to be a SKRULL ALICIA named Lyja....... they even tried to make it work, because Johnny is hopeful, but obviously it didn't work. He's tried to have a life a million times: starting and dropping out of college more than once, working as a firefighter, acting, and finally becoming the CFO of Fantastic Four, Inc. He was good at it. Johnny was killed by Annihulus, but don't worry, he came back. And then he lost his powers. And started a music career. Don't worry, he finally got his powers back. The Human Torch rides again!
Current Name: Teddy Childs
Age: 28
Occupation: Ex-teen pop star
Personality: Teddy is clever and funny and insecure and loyal and volatile and a little bit narcissistic and a bit fucked up from his adolescent years, but he is fundamentally a good human. He likes the spotlight, he likes making grand gestures, he loves giving gifts. He's impatient and struggles with stillness and quiet. He loves rock climbing, swimming, diving, and still takes a weekly dance class: it's a good conduit for his energy, and he was in regular hip hop classes near daily when he was younger, and they've stuck. He's strong-willed and charming and flirtatious and the only reason he doesn't want to take his picture is that you didn't ask first. The camera loves him.
Background: Teddy was discovered at 12 by a record executive who just freakin happened to be at Teddy's middle school talent night, suffering through supporting a young relative. It was both a blessing and a curse, because Teddy's cover of "Jessie's Girl" made that exec see a marketable, early 2000s pop star come to life before his eyes. Teddy's version was EVERYWHERE. He was Bieber-level. He released two poppy albums that sold incredibly well, and a third and fourth, more introspective, albums that didn't sell as well. He pivoted to R&B and cocaine, which worked out well for a while, but Teddy got a little too addicted to the drugs and the attention. His rehab stint was public knowledge and deeply humiliating, even though it wasn't predicated by humiliating public incidents. That was four years ago. He went through rehab twice, and settled in LA. But no one wanted to make music with him, and he didn't feel comfortable touring. So, finally, he's in New Orleans, living in a beautiful house, alone, quiet. He doesn't have to work again, but he wants to. He wants to make music again, but he's afraid. Right now, he's volunteering as a drug counselor at a local rehab, very quietly and privately, providing support to people in recovery. His therapist is urging him to return to the world. He's almost ready to try.
