I’m the master of tongue twisters. Bet you can’t say either of these 5 times fast:
Man, make me mince meat while meandering mini mice meet.
When wintery worries swirl with weary withering furry, fury furries we whittle while we hurry and scurry.
Uh…Hey. It’s me – Keaton.
So, uh…Hey! It’s me, the fifth of six. Life’s been pretty great since moving to StoryBrook. No one’s got any expectations of me, so there’s a huge weight off my shoulders.
Back home, I always had to play the part – even though no one seemed to care enough to see. As a middle child, I felt invisible. That is, until I screwed something up and took away attention and time from someone else. There was a fine line to walk. A balancing act. I had to build a steel wall around myself.
Now, I feel free. I can let my guard down – I just don’t know how. It’s odd, ya know? When you’ve spent your whole life in a cage, chained and held down by the pressures of everyone else around you, you have to teach yourself how to fly.
For the first time in, well, ever, I’m excited for what the future holds because I can’t predict it. Freedom comes at the cost of being in control. The path I choose to walk now is exactly that, being in control. It’s funny. I’ve had to control my reactions, my emotions, my words, everything in accordance to someone else. Who am I when I’m the one I answer to?
These are the things…You know, about me:
I’ve always been grotesquely afraid of werewolves. Sharp teeth and a severe lack of impulse control…Yeah, no thanks.
My favorite color is me: Aqua.
June 1st is the day I was born. My parents, they could never remember it.
I’m a gemini. Playful and curious, I seek to build upon my own curiosities and I’m ALWAYS the life of the party.
