it's a lifestyle
[/color]OCCUPATION: ebay salesperson/student
“my parents taught me one thing in life. what a poor person finds for 50 cents at a garage sale, a rich person buys on ebay for 50 dollars. now that’s what i call easy money. whenever i’m not chillin’ with the band or doing school work, i go around to garage sales and thrift shops to look around for bargains. then i go home and resale the items for profit. sounds stupid, but i’ve made like 100 bucks off of an old record player. besides that i’m a student going to be a sound technician. i have good ears.”
BAND: The Cutthroat Kids
POSITION: Drummer
BAND HISTORY:
“i’m probably the newer member of the band. never went to high school here with any of these guys and honestly i didn’t even know how any of them were. i’ve been a drummer for like eight years now, and not to sound my own siren, but i’m pretty good at it. my father was in different mariachi bands, though those are mexican bands. he did bongos, and maracas. as a kid he would teach me how to play and eventually it became a passion of mine that moved to heavy metal when i got into it. allot of the time i incorporate that latin feel to my drum work that makes it more then allot of double bass and drum fills. it’s my heart and soul. anyways, how i became apart of the cutthroat kids is that i played with a band named sentencia de muerte, or death warrant. it didn’t really last long with them and after one of the shows we broke up because the lead singer and the bassist had found out they were both sleeping with the keyboardist. yeah, that was a nightmare. after the shows were done i was approached by bambi and offered a spot in her band if i auditioned. it was really weird because normally i would have said no and walked away, but i decided to give them a chance. even though i find auditioning degrading as a drummer. there is always the need for drummers, so why should i have to kiss ass to get in? and after death warrant broke up, it wasn’t like i was looking for a new gig in the first place. the audition i do have to say went rather well. it didn’t leave me thinking ’oh my gawd! i was made for this band! it’s totally confirmed!’ but it wasn’t horrible that i wanted to leave and never come back. they called me up a few days later and told me i was in. for the year or so that i’ve been apart of the band i’ve come to really like my bandmates and feel like i’m apart of the group…[/color]
you know I'm so hot
APPEARANCE:
“well like most latins i’m kind of more tanned then most. for some reason i’ve never liked the fact that i’m a latina. i admire pale skin, skinny bodies, the caucasian face shape. my family says its just me having an identity crisis. being half peruvian and part brazilian with a little european mixed in here and there i can pull off looking like an exotic caucasian girl. i’ll still have dark hair and eyes, but hair dye and colored contacts can fix that. i’m a short slim girl, with some help from diet pills. like my mother i have this tendency to have a thicker waist, which drives me insane. it sucks being 5’3” because fat collects easily over a shorter, smaller frame. erm…what else? currently my hair is albino blonde. so, really its white and done up in a big kind of way in bows and headbands and shit. depending if i’m on stage or not, i tend to wear allot of makeup and at times wear really colorful wigs. Just something i like to do with myself.”
STYLE:
“well, i am in love with the color black. my outfits will consist of almost all black. i have a thing for looking hardcore and spooky, but at the same time being girly and sexy like the girls you’ll see around rob zombie and all those beautiful suicide girls. like a you can look but touch and i’ll cut your nuts off with a handsaw. I’m a risqué kind of girl, so there really isn’t anything that i would shy away from wearing cause i can make it rockin. though stuff like animal fur and shit like that, there isn’t enough money in the world that would get me to wear a dead being. people always criticize me for wearing as much makeup as i do. they tell me that i’m gorgeous as i am, but they should try looking like me. so i apply all this stuff so that i feel good and pretty.”
MARKINGS:
“i have some strange birthmarks here and there. they’re like little discolorations of the skin, where the birthmark is darker then the skin around it. i’ve made a joke about them that i’m the polka dot woman when people point them out. i’ve had different tattoos to cover up some of them. the one on my rib cage that looked like a petal i had turned into a tattoo and one that looked like a tree on my back that i kind of had a tattoo based around it. on my left arm there is the start of a sleeve. i’m not a tattoo kind of person, but i have a few.”
PIERCINGS:
“my nose is pierced with a bullring, my downstairs is pierced twice, and my ears are done of course. piercings are cool, but there is a point where they look overwhelming and take away from a girl’s beauty.”[/color]
all the small things
LIKES:
*make up “a girl’s best friend in the whole wide world. some say i am obsessed with doing my make up and hair. it could be my profession if i really wanted to pursue being a make up artist.”
*beauty “i want to be beautiful. i like having beautiful, unique things. i just like beauty in the world. what’s wrong with that? a girl should enjoy what’s pretty out there.”
*heavy metal “heavy fuckin’ metal bitches. that’s right. i can listen to allot of different kinds of music and enjoy myself, but metal is where my heart will forever belong.”
*odd cartoons “salad fingers, rejected cartoons, charlie the unicorn, all of those freaky cartoons really. i also like rob zombie’s animation too, because they’re all original and out there.”
*marijuana “yep, i’ve been known to smoke a bowl a day. makes me feel good and keeps me in a peppy mood. the government should legalize weed, cause what harm does it really do?”
*concerts “not just being the band on stage, but being the fan in the audience. i go to shows whenever i can. whether they’re good or bad; have suckish bands or legends.”
*repoman: the genetic opera “out of all the movies i’ve watched, repoman has to be the craziest one. it’s totally one that i’ve seen over and over again and can tell you every scene.”
*the band eths “wicked awesome band. the female vocals and the fact that its in french…just amazing. they’re so heavy, man i love their sound. just pure genius.”
*death “not like death as in dying, but the whole concept of what happens after you die. do you become a ghost, reincarnation, and all. it’s rather fascinating.”
*drumming “i’d be insane if i didn’t mention that my passion is drumming. been doing the deed for years now and there isn’t anything that’s going to stop me.”
DISLIKES:
*random waving “don’t say hi unless you know me. it always throws me off when some stranger waves and passes by like they know me. i’m stuck there thinking ’who the fuck was that?’”
*stuck up people “not just those rich snobs, but anyone who think that there better then everyone else. you can be black, white, tall, short, fat, or skinny and you can be my friend.”
*arguing “screw that. i’d rather just ignore the nagging and yelling. get in my face and i guarantee i’ll kick where it hurts. that’s it. no beating or screaming, and i claim self defense.”
*peta “yeah, i’m all about saving animals but that doesn’t mean i’m going to go to the measures that they do. i still eat meat on occasion and have been guilty of hating a certain evil animal”
*squirrels “evil bastards. when i was like seven i was attacked by this damned rat thing. ever since then i’ve made sure to throw sticks at any and all rat creature i see.”
*‘the windmill’ “oh my god, i could light anyone i see doing this on fire. do not do the windmill in the moshpit. you look like an idiot who is only going to hurt more people then needed”
*pussy metal “it isn’t metal without blood, gore, anti-christ themes, and other vulgar topics. i’m sorry it just isn’t. brutality is required in order to get my attention, anything else i call pussy metal.”
*being put down “the easiest way to tear me down is to insult my appearance or who i am. usually telling me i’m beautiful can do it too, but that’s another story.”
*manly woman/girly men “in my world, a man should be rugged and tough and a woman should be feminine and soft. that may sound sexist, but that’s how they should appear.”
*speaking in spanish “it is my native language, i just hate it when people automatically assume that i can speak spanish when i tell them my nationality. just pisses me off.”
STRENGTHS:
*rather laid back /she isn’t hyper active unless she’s rocking out. loca is the kind of person that likes to relax to some music and good company, but with some persuasion will party.
*has a strong aura /doesn’t back down from anybody stepping on her toes. on the outside she doesn’t let people know that she’s hurting, insulted, or angry. don’t be fooled.
*opinionated /this girl has thought about everything, and frankly doesn’t care if you don’t like it. loca will stand by her beliefs no matter the situation.
*accepting /loca easily makes friends, because she doesn’t give a damn what you look like or what you believe. so long as there isn’t anyone trying to butt heads, she’s good.
*rhythm /any one can play the drums, but it takes rhythm to be a great drummer. loca was fortunate to inherit hers from her father and develop the skill from a young age.
WEAKNESSES:
*low self esteem /really, she hasn’t ever had a high opinion of herself. in some way her older sister has allot to do with why she never feels good enough, and its only destroying her.
*irritable /the smallest things can irk her. loca’ll give this look of annoyance when ever something is irritating. her period seems to worsen her touchiness.
*seethes /loca isn’t one to forgive and forget right away. plan on having past offenses thrown in your face whenever she’s pissed off. its just her own form of anger.
*stubborn /doesn’t give up, period. she’s open to listening to your side, but don’t expect her to change her thoughts on any topic. loca can be very persistent.
*radical /loca can be one of the most hardcore people you’ll ever meet. her interests tend to set her apart from allot of society, which in the real world has hurt her opportunities.
FEARS:
*feeling inadequate /from time to time, loca will feel she isn’t cut out for success. like for some reason the world doesn’t want or need her. that she’s something less.
*being tortured /a common fear, but one of her top terrors. she’s watched plenty of horror movies that loca is no fool as to how badly being tortured would…hurt.
HABITS:
*showing off /mostly just when she is drumming does she show off. she knows she is amazing at what she does, and likes some attention for her talent. anybody has a problem with that, they can shove it.
*bucking her hips /loca is a latina even if she doesn’t like admitting it. out of habit, she’ll buck her hips playfully when there is a sexual joke hanging in the air.
*picky spender /so she likes to make deals and bargain, so what? she doesn’t have allot of money, and that’s led to her learning how to wisely spend her money.
GOALS:
*to feel stunning
*meet joey jordison, frost, and john tempesta
*make a living as a rockstar
SECRET:
“i was a cheater. it’s true. when i was seventeen i dated this boy named lupe, and he was my everything. to this day i can remember his long black hair and his strong hands. he was so sweet on me and everyone thought that we would settle down and have babies. i’d be his old lady and he’d be my papi. we had some of the greatest sex i’ve ever had…so why would i ever cheat on him with another man? don’t know. andy was just some guy i worked with at the corner store. we barely ever talked to each other besides when it was necessary. the first time i had ever even really noticed him was the day i got fired. who know that a simple ’sorry about your job…want to drink it off?’ could lead to a drunken attraction and a one night stand. that one night stand turned into a full blown affair and eventually lupe suspected that something was up. my father was the first to point out that i was ruining my life. he had been down the same street as me, cheating with the babysitter, the neighbor woman, and he was the only one to pick up on the signs. ’bebe, if you love someone, you don’t hurt them. if you hurt him, you don’t love him. celest be wise.’ was all he had to say and guilt just weld up in me. telling lupe the truth was the hardest thing i ever had to do. he left me and i avoided andy. now lupe is married with a baby on the way…i keep track of my first love. nobody really knows because i never say anything. who wants to be associated with a cheater?”[/color]
quite the charmer
PERSONALITY:
the first thing that anyone realizes about loca is that she marches to her own beat. loca is someone that will like things because she truly finds them interesting, not because she wants to fit in. having been an oddball most of her life, she understands how it feels not to fit in. nobody is ever strange enough for her that there isn’t any possible way that she wouldn’t befriend them. in fact the odder, the closer she gets to them. loca can be a good friend when given the opportunities, she just doesn’t tend to trust too many people right off the bat. you have to show her respect and honesty before she can really consider individual people ’close friends.’ of course, there are the rare few that automatically get her interested, and they usually become her best friends and the people that tend to hurt her the most. loyalty is not a weak point for loca. sure, she used to go from band to band, but for each band she was never the cause of the break up. loca is too laid back for drama. once she gives her word to her friends and band, loca make sure she delivers. its all about honor and devotion that makes good friends for her. without those key factors apparent in another person, its hard for her to see a possible friendship. of course, she will also give it in return.
loca isn’t always calm and collected, who is? she’s got a wild streak in her that comes out when at concerts or parties. you know that girl that who throws herself in the moshpit, crowd surfs, and can headbang with the best of them and still look smoking hot while she’s at it? that would be loca. her nickname only suits those moments that she breaks free and rocks out. when not having the time of her life though, loca can settle down and relax with a group of friends. sexual innuendos, play fighting, and random bullshitting is her kind of thing, and she can do it with an aloof mannerism that makes her still appear cool and collected.
when she is angry it normally takes sometime for people to see it. loca doesn’t explode or get loud, so most don’t realize that they’re pissing her off till she says that one thing that just catches them off guard. she doesn’t fight or argue, but if someone is threatening her space, she tries to take them out with a low blow or knee cap hit. loca doesn’t mess around with fighting. and with good cause, she’s too small to really stand a chance. loca is a bottler, and more then often that part of her personality has come up and ended up hurting herself and those around her.
this girl has a dangerously low self esteem. though she appears confident as a drummer, person, and doesn’t have any problem with public speaking and being heard, she believes she is ugly. even when people tell her she is good looking, she takes it as mockery and gets defensive. she uses make-up and clothes as cover-ups in order to feel somewhat decent in her reflection. no one would really know that she feels this way, seeing as she looks good all the time, but she does. apart of the reason loca feels this way is that most of her life she has looked to her older sister as someone to live up to. alicia was the ‘hot sister’ growing up and the daughter who her parents were always proud of. no matter what she did, she never felt worthwhile. then when she met her real mother, who was a gorgeous young woman, her insecurities only worsened. now its not a matter of being someone that people like and accept, its about being that one girl that can steal the show. problem is, she doesn’t see that she already has that ability and never uses it.

you know I can't resist
SEXUALITY: heterosexual
TURN ONS:
*nice shoulder muscles “a man’s shoulders is what i’m going to be feeling up in some positions. he’s got to be strong enough to pick me up and lug me around.”
*pretty eyes “what girl isn’t a sucker for a guy with nice eyes. i take notice of eyes first. the color isn’t really all that important, but the feeling and shape are.”
*savage head banging “being a rocker chica whenever there is some guy just rocking out, my eyes go right to him. its as slut paris hilton would say ’hot.’
*possessiveness “any woman that hates her man being protective and controlling is out of her mind. i adore it. makes me feisty. men are possessive because they’re in love.”
*roughness “screw that romantic shit. get me pissed off and then slam me into a wall and attack my lips. don’t worry i won’t break. just do what you do best.”
TURN OFFS:
*girly men “i have never been attracted to men that act or look like girls. nothing against any man that does, but good luck trying to turn me on at all.”
*stinky feet “haha, yeah i don’t care if you have to keep your shoes on all the time. don’t let me catch whiff of those smelly ass feet. it’s just disgusting.”
*polite men “i love when a man is horny and straightforward. of course there does need to be some sort of sign of evolution, but my boyfriend isn’t like my best friend. he’s my lover and ’pal.’
*excessive talking during sex “talk dirty to me babe, but shut up every once in awhile. nothing kills the mood more then ’come on baby. uh uh. right there? like that?” all the time.”
*liars “self explanatory i think. no body likes a liar, so don’t become one. i’ve only learned that the hard way. just be honest with me and i’ll do the same.”
RELATIONSHIP HISTORY:
loca hasn’t been in a serious relationship since her first love lupe. she started dating at the age of fifteen and bounced around from boyfriend to boyfriend. then dating was more of a game that didn’t involve strong connections or sex. when she met lupe though, her concept of relationships changed. loca was sixteen when lupe moved into town, and their parents became close friends. the two had allot in common, and soon were hanging out all the time. lupe was everything she didn’t know she was looking for in a man, and eventually those feelings turned into an undying love. they began dating her junior year and lasted until late into her senior year before she told lupe that she was cheating on him. what drove her to have an affair, loca still doesn’t get. maybe it was just convenient or perhaps how naughty it was appealed to her. loca still holds allot of love for her first love to this day, but who doesn’t? he was her everything at one point. after lupe she really didn’t get into anything too serious. maybe a few one nighters here and there, but never enough to get attached. lupe isn’t looking for the one, because to her, that one already went by. there are no second chances. so she sticks to flirting and sex. in order for her to fall in love again, its going to have to come up and scare the hell out of her. loca has proven and unproven that she is girlfriend material. hopefully she has learned from her past mistakes.
legend in the making
MOTHER:
step-mother; her older sibling’s mother is really her father’s wife. her name is ivette diana pavia-alverez. she’s forty-eight years old and a high school history teacher. loca was pretty much raised by ivette, and didn’t find out about her real mom until she was ten. as far as celest is concerned, ivette is her real mother. because even though she wasn’t her real daughter, ivette treated all the children like they were hers and never brought up the fact that celest and edmund were technically bastard kids of manuel. that doesn’t mean that they are extremely close, the two just have a mutual respect for each other.
biological mother; paulina adela de herrero is a mystery woman that appeared out of no where when she was ten. paulina isn’t a very large part of her life to this day. they tried having visitation rights put into place, but neither telmo or celestina wanted to go with ’the stranger’. loca doesn’t talk to her real mother, or really know all that much about her. all she has learned is that her father had some big affair with paulina and nearly started a second life with her. paulina is a wealthier woman who is quite a bit younger then manuel, but fortunately he left ’the other woman’ for his real family, and paulina handed over the twins shortly after that.
FATHER:
biological father; despite him having made allot of mistakes in his life, loca has always felt closest with her father, manuel xavier alverez. who is fifty two years old. truth be told, they both have the same tendencies and allot of the same personality traits. even though she is his youngest daughter and not his oldest son, he has always kind of favored her for this reason. he works as a hotel receptionist, which is only because he got laid off as a contractor awhile back. unlike most of his family, he has had some sort of education beyond high school, and has pushed his kids to pursue higher education as well…though they can’t afford it. after he admitted his errors and wrong doings, he really turned a new leaf. it’s something that anybody can admire, especially loca.
SIBLINGS:
half sister; the oldest of the alverez is none other then alicia marisol alverez-gomez. alicia set the mold for her younger siblings, something that as the only other girl felt like it was an necessity. her older sister has never done anything to deserve loca’s insults and cold shoulder. alicia was the prom queen beauty who had good grades and got into college almost on a full ride because of being a soccer stud. she’s currently married to a good man and has a son named luko and works as a thirty-five year old pediatrician.
half brother; growing up, loca always had a protective big brother, which didn’t really stop her from getting in trouble. juan camilo alverez passed away when he was nineteen of cancer, and loca was about eleven. He’d be twenty-eight today if he were still alive and more then likely a famous soccer player. in the alverez household there is a corner shelf dedicated to his memory.
brother; telmo “paz” donato alverez is her twin brother, only younger by a few minutes. they were both born to paulina but were given up to manuel when they were only a few weeks old. telmo is allot alike to loca, but he is more mature and easy going then her. they don’t have a mental connection like some twins seem to have, but the two understand each other. telmo works as a part time mechanic and takes care of his adopted daughter with his girlfriend of six months.
HISTORY: three paragraphs long
“i bet i should start at the very, very beinning should i? like way before i was ever even thought of, because without prior knowledge you would be lost as to what was going on. my dad had been married ivette when he was eighteen, with a one year old baby girl between them. at the age of twenty-four he had his first son and second child juan and things were going pretty well for them. though, like any man, he grew tired of the same woman and hard a straying gaze for the youthful young woman. ivette and my dad had been married for about ten years when he began a relationship with paulina de herrero, a wealthy heiress whom he had met through his contracting job. he told me he figured the rush of excitement from the affair had clouded his head, that even though he loved ivette, paulina seemed like the greener pastures. their affair had last five years. when my real mother told my father that she was pregnant, everything came to light. she was so much younger then him, and allot more naive about the world. paulina had wanted him to leave ivette and start a live with her, which if my father had been any other man, he would have. but, my dad had more sense then that. he had been married to ivette for fifteen years, and had had two children with her. ivette was loyal and had stood by him for so long...my dad told paulina that he couldn't stay with her. that it had taken him too long to realize what he was doing was wrong. of course when he told ivette his little secret, she left with juan and alicia for a good year before simmering down. by then me and telmo had already been born. paulina realizing that she wasn't ready to be a mother at the age of twenty-three and husbandless. so she handed us over to my dad.
as to how my dad and ivette got back together, now that's a confusing explanation that even i didn't get. i guess that eventually juan and alicia had to see their father, even if he was a 'cheating bastard'. when ivette saw my dad with two other children by himself, she kind of felt bad for him. not enough to really jump back into their marriage again, but enough to begin the slow healing process. i grew up with my siblings and parents, and as far as i was concerned everything was normal through my toddler's eyes. when i was three my dad decided that he had had enough of peru and decided he wanted to go to the 'land of opportunities.' ivette found out and kind of got pissed off at him. she thought that he was just going to leave her there in peru and never come back. but, my father, being all smooth and suave, told her that she could start a new life with him and the kids. that was how i came to live in america. don't worry, if you didn't get it. i still don't. and i was the one who found this all out when i was ten.
starting out in america was pretty hard for my family. alicia was already seventeen, and all her chances at a good life would have been shot if she hadn't been taught english right away and thrown into the american public school system right away for her senior year. she was always really lucky like. hell when i was in high school all i ever heard was how well she did for having moved from peru. my older brother was about eleven then and was still pretty rusty in the english department. my dad got a job in a contracting company pretty quickly, but he didn't have the pay that he had once had nor the notability in the us to rise through the ranks as easily as he could have in peru. livette, who had always been a stay at home mother, went to work as a waitress and avon saleswoman. me well i was little. i barely remember my family's earlier struggles when they first came here. all i do recollect is that i was always being carted around by my dad and of course the day that it all stopped.
my first day of school was horrible. i've always hated school, college being about the only exception to that. i remember crying and hitting the teacher. every teacher that i've ever had can tell you i've always ended up hating them for some reason or another. i wasn't like alicia with her ability to pick up anything and conquering it quickly, and i didn't have juan and alicia's athletic talent either. school was the one area that always perplexed me, and what made it worse was having alicia as a sister. she had been popular, an honor's student, and the works, but she only had to put up with high school for one year. how she got a scholarship is beyond me. maybe something illegal was going down? i don't know. i dropped out when i was sixteen, but got my ged. that made it a little bit easier to get into college i suppose, but i didn't get any sort of help paying for tuition or books.
anyways, i'm already way ahead of myself. i haven't even talked about meeting my real mom yet and i'm already onto college. yeah, when i was ten paulina came to the us upon my dad's request. it was only a few brief week, but the alverez household was tense. for obvious reason, of course. ivette pretty much told my dad that if he screwed up she was leaving and never coming back. me and telmo barely saw it coming, and were left feeling kind of betrayed by it all. we both tried spending time with her, but found it hard to really connect or find interest in her presence. after her time was up, she left and i've never seen her again. those weeks were pretty hard on me and telmo because that was the moment we found out about how imperfect and complicated our family was. not to mention a few months later juan passed away from cancer. he had been struggling with a brain tumor since he was fifteen, but never wanted to get treated. juan was active and had hopes of being a soccer star. chemo would not only limit his dreams by put a big hole in our family income. we had all seen the moment coming, but we just didn't want to admit it. i miss him still...allot. juan went way before his time was up and its just not fair.
after i dropped out of high school, a new family moved in next door to us. that's when i was introduced to lupe. i think i've already talked about him a little. we fell madly in love and our families approved. lupe and loca, even our names belonged together. its only been three years since we ended our relationship, and i still feel as strongly towards him as i did then. we all know what happened there though don't we? shockingly, our families are still close...which makes it uncomfortable when we're both home.
anyways, during that time i had started getting active in bands and expanded my talents. my first band only lasted for a few weeks before the lead singer decided he wanted to be a police officer instead. how lame right? i've been working the circuit for a long time now, and about a year ago the cutthroat kids accepted me into their group. now it just a matter of getting threw college and keeping pace with our aspirations of going international. fun right?
