STUDENT, TWENTY ONE, JOCK, CONSERVATIVE, PARTY ANIMAL, COLTON HAYNES, HARTFORD
first things first, let's get a little basics out there. my family is really conservative and really republican. i guess it's because my parents were born and raised in a small town in texas, and i was too. i mean really small. population four hundred small. the kind of town that everyone knew everyone, everyone's business, everyone's family life, et cetera, et cetera. you can imagine that i was raised by really strict parents with really strict beliefs also. it didn't make a very lasting impression, because look at me now. anyway, growing up in a small town makes me really confident, i guess. i know, weird, right? usually small towns are really small and judging and blah blah blah and it's hard to branch out after growing up with the same people and living with the same families for most of your life, but not for me. when my family and i moved to hartford, it was easy for me to make new friends and join new groups. being conservative also made me see things like homosexuality and sex before marriage as wrong. even though i'm all about the latter, it's the former that i'm still iffy about. while i don't see it as much as a sin as my parents do, i'm still a little... well, iffy. let's just say i'd never want to be gay myself.
secondly, i'm a big jock. that's one of the most important things you can learn about me. playing sports is my life, pretty much. football, though, is what started it all. i was, oh i don't know, maybe seven or eight and i decided that i wanted to oin football, because that's all the cool kids did. i mean, i wanted to be popular and i thought that playing football was a guaranteed ticket to becoming popular. ever since that one small team when i was a kid, i've played football since. club football, flag football, football in schools, various summer teams, and i've never not stopped training. when i got to college, university of hartford, the coaches of the varsity team loved me. they wanted me on their team- no, they needed me on their team because i was a walking victory. with me, they would win. i'm not cocky or conceited, either. i'm truthful, because i'm the best. or at least, i'm one of the best.
i like to party and i won't deny it. i'm in college, though, so what do you expect? i'm a jock, i'm popular, i think i'm pretty cool, so it's only natural for me to get a little wasted every now and then. it's not like i'm out every night, though. then again... i'm at least out every night for the majority of the week. i'll skip a day then i'll go out the next three days. skip a day, next three days, skip a day, next three days. that's my usual way of doing things. i try to reserve sunday, though, as my 'day off' because everyone needs a break now and then. i try to sit in my apartment on that day and relax, keep the day for myself. other than that, though, i'm out most of the time.
my best friend is jason rowe. i love the kid. we've known each other since we were teenagers, maybe twelve or thirteen years old. i met him in junior high and we automatically clicked. my parents are also super religious and i guess jason's parents are, too, and church was just another place that we ran into each other. we saw each other so much, we became really close. as we got older and so did our friendship, we became best friends. i've never been unsure about jason being my closest, bestest friend. i've never worried about him betraying me or doing something that i wouldn't like. it's the same with me- i would never do anything to betray him or make him feel like i'm not really his best friend, like i'm not actually there for him. after all, i am. he knows me better than anyone else. hell, he probably knows me better than i know myself.
i'm a people person. i like to talk, i like to meet new people, i like to be involved with clubs and events and stuff, and i don't like to be alone. as lame as that might sound, i like to be around people at all times. at least, most of the times. sunday, of course, is that one day that i take for myself. then again, i have my phone with at all times. i'm texting whoever constantly and facetiming and all that fun shit, so really, i'm not alone then either. i survive on talking to people. i survive on my friends and meeting new people and interacting and blah blah blah. i'm good at talking to people, too. i don't get shy easily and i have a lot of confidence, which makes it easier.
i like girls. maybe i like them a little too much. considering that i was raised in a very religious family with sex viewed as a sin if it was done before marriage, i like them way too much. most of the nights that i'll go out, i'll bring a girl home back to my apartment. i do have a pet peeve, though. it's when they stay the night that they bug me. i'm all about sex and getting it on and all of the like, but i don't like it when they phsyically sleep in my bed. one time i had one fall asleep on me, which is a whole other story, and i woke her up and told her to get the hell out of my apartment. that doesn't fly with me. i don't know, but i just feel like some sort of connection is made when they stay. i don't like it, because i like having no attachments when it comes to sleeping with women. i feel like thats how i become held down. i don't want to be held down. if they stay for the night, i feel like they might want to come back for more. then again, thats not always a bad thing- it's when they come back for a relationship which is bad and i don't want to take any risks.
