what's the weirdest thing that has happened to you?

“i was in a fraternity in college. there’s been a lot of weird shit happen to me. i’ve had some pretty messed up experiences when it comes to hookups– i mean, like, really weird. one time a girl invited me back to her place & there was like, a whole group of her friends just standing around in a circle. i’m still not sure if she was a part of some cult or her roommates were unbelievably stoned & zoned out of spin the bottle or something. she was obscene from what i can remember, too. good in bed, though.”

73, 77, 100

73. do you want to get married?

“no, not really. i’m not against the idea of marriage, but… i’d have to really be in love with someone before ever wanting to commit like that, you know? even then i don’t know if i’d be able to trust it. there was once a time where everyone used to think my parents were the real deal & look what happened there. i like marriage, kids, the whole white picket fence & apple pie kind of life as a concept. but i don’t know if it’ll ever be for me.”

77. do you miss anyone right now? 

“i miss my parents. we’re all very busy & outside of birthdays & work events or holidays, we never really see each other. we can’t make the time for it. they seem more like strangers these days. there’s others, too. but i don’t talk to them anymore– no, i should rephrase that. they don’t want to talk to me. & i don’t blame them. i don’t have the right to miss them. i’m the reason i was cut out of their lives in the first place.”

100. who was the last person you cried in front of?

“jesus christ, i laugh so hard i cry at some movies– it doesn’t help when i’m high as hell, but it’s a good experience. the last person i remember watching something like that with is probably river. he knows how to pick movies that make me laugh.”

45. how many kids do you want?

“i always liked the idea of having a big family. not exactly some cheaper by the dozen type of situation, but maybe two or three rascals running around. i had a small family growing up & i’d have given anything for a brother or sister. so if there’s ever a time when i do have kids– yeah, i’d like more than one.” 

50. what was the last text you sent?

“it was to let my boss know i finished the main article covering the factory. he was getting on my ass about submitting it as soon as i could after the re-opening, but, uh… you could say i got caught up in a thing or two. & maybe i wanted to make him wait. i’m not going to work hard for something that’ll barely resemble my work once it’s gone through editing.”

55. what is your dream job?

“as much as i love my podcast & interviewing all kinds of people, i want to start my own company some day. my mom’s a big inspiration for me & growing up in that environment & seeing what she can do… it’s kind of kick-ass. i’d like to have a magazine or newspaper of my own.”

[alecurran]

new york or paris?

“new york.” he doesn’t hesitate with his answer. “i mean, don’t get me wrong… i adore paris, but new york’s always been home. i wouldn’t call myself patriotic or anything ‘cause i’m far from it, but i like living here. it doesn’t mean i like paris any less, if anything it keeps the appeal more alive. it’s a beautiful city.”

10. how would you describe your style?

“i like to think my sense of style draws some inspiration from the classier end of the spectrum. i’ve had a lot of good influences over the years, after all. but there are times when it’s hard to see it as anything other than the closet of an old man. i prefer clothes i can breathe in, so i’m something of a comfort over couture kind of guy. but it’s fashionable nonetheless.” 

29. whats the worst thing you have ever done?

“i’ve broken a lot of people’s trust over the years. it’s, uh, ruined a handful of relationships in my time. sometimes it’s not intentional, & others… well, other times it’d leave people with every reason to believe that i’ll get what i deserve someday. but if you ask me, personally, the worst thing i’ve done is over fed a friend’s goldfish & replaced it with a new one without ever telling them–  that was pretty harsh.”

44. what is your biggest fear?

“you’d never believe it at first, but i hate flying. i’d spend time in paris with my mother when she was working over there, & as a kid it was something i struggled with a lot. it’s never just flying, though. i’m not big on heights either. but if you want to know the real fears? i can’t stand the idea of anonymity. call it a fools dream, but i want to make a lasting impression on the world. i don’t want my name to be forgotten after i’m gone. i’d like to do something worth remembering, to be someone worth remembering.”

nellrog‌:

settling into the bed, nell watched intently as he sipped the mug. a smile fell on her face when he reacted to the taste of the vodka, settling back into the bed and taking the mug from him. she opened her mouth to tell him exactly what was in the mug - more alcohol than coffee, just the way she liked it - but shut it when he changed his mind, shrugging. “since two-ish, maybe three? i don’t know, i didn’t look at the time.” she never meant to come to the factory like that, it just happened. a lack of places to be and an endless desire for socialization left her wandering the streets until she ended up there. “were you here alone all night?”

"i guess that depends on your definition of alone.” in a way, alec was never alone. he was always around someone, always involved with something new. it could be a project, a person ( & occasionally the latter ), but there were seldom a time when he was ever truly alone. “i was having drinks with a couple of guys, more people joined in... we were just running with it, you know?” he gestured to the spot she was getting comfortable in with a wave of his hand, trying hard not to stifle a laugh. “but if you’re asking if i was with someone, i couldn’t tell you.”

she shrugged, “sometimes it rains.” she responded to his remark about sunshine. she looked at him, he was definitely still feeling the effects of something but she’d indulge him. “i use my time to really look, at other things.” she responded honestly, but she didn’t to spill her guts for some stranger, that was for sure. “well, good for you.” she said sincerely, but with a bit of bite. habit, really.

"you know what they say... to each their own.” he sunk down into the bed, doing himself the favor of getting comfortable in spite of the pounding headache keeping him up. alec sighed  &  began patting around his jean pockets, only to pull out a half empty pack of cigarettes.  even when he was wasted, that was the one thing he could count on never losing. the craving for nicotine seemingly came exclusively when he was sober.  “you want one, little miss sunshine?” alec called out, extending the packet out toward her.

“Do I get recognized? I guess it depends on if I’m wearing a hat or not. The hairdo is a dead giveaway. There’s nothing I can do. It’s just the way my hair grows. It’s my parents’ fault, really, because they have such big hair too. People always ask me, but it’s not like I use a shitload of hairspray or anything. I wash it probably every two or three days. On set—that’s the real preparation. There’s a whole process. Washing the hair at a specific time before coming in to shoot, and then a whole blow-drying routine, and then doing a thing to the back, and getting it cut a specific way. On set, the process is pretty lengthy. But in my normal, everyday life… most of the time, it totally looks like shit.”
