-- PERSONALITY !

-- CARELESS: Right down to the definition - not giving careful attention, showing no concern, not carefully worked on, without anxieties, generally not giving or receiving any care - Drew Dixon is downright careless. To put it lightly, he just doesn’t give a damn. Or, if he were truly being honest, there was very little he gave a damn about. Outside of himself, of course, because Drew was constantly looking out for his own interests. Maybe not in the best way. He didn’t bother keeping up his grades and wasn’t concerned about his well being or his safety or that of others. He blamed it on his youth, constantly telling others that he would slow down if he ever got old. But being careless truthfully stemmed from feeling uncared for, something Drew wouldn’t admit even if the truth were staring him directly in the face. He’d rather ignore it, do something stupid to shake it off, and say he’d care more tomorrow.

-- ROMANTIC: It was possibly less that Drew was romantic and more that he liked to be romanced. Not that he ever got what he wanted but he often dreamed of someone, anyone, sweeping him off his feet. It seemed girly, even to him, but he couldn’t help it. He wanted to experience that bubbly feeling of love and be sick and disgusting like all those people he saw clawing at their significant other. He wanted roses and hand holding and in that he realized he was a bit of a dreamer. It made him kind of bitter in the end, when he realized he wasn’t going to receive the romance he desired and has given Drew a bad approach at intimate endeavors. He treats other people like the chunk of meat he’s treated as, assuming the other person is going to get there anyway so he might as well beat them to the punch and make whatever encounter they have meaningless.

-- IMPATIENT: Drew can’t wait for anything. Often times he’ll take situations into his own hands because he just cannot stomach waiting another minute. He gets easily frustrated when things and people aren’t on time. And when things he is waiting on take longer than expected he sometimes gets obnoxious about it. Unable to count the amount of times he’s left instead of waiting for a friend, Drew would quickly admit that it’s a problem. He hates lines and things that have to develop - including feelings. Having to wait around a lot as a child, for a parent to get off work or a babysitter to show up or for someone to notice he did something good for a change only made his problem with impatience worse. It’s unlikely that it’ll ever get better.

-- LOVES: dark comedies, bubble gum, mythology, television, loud music, pepsi, comic books, night time, jelly beans, autumn
-- HATES: waiting, long lines, movies about old ladies who can’t find relationships, fake lesbians, coca-cola, alfredo, the color red, most people, that he doesn’t personally know the characters from his favorite tv shows, mushrooms

-- HISTORY !

Andrew Dixon spent most of his childhood waiting around for other people. He waited for his father to get off work every day after school. Sometimes he would never come home. He waited for his mother to come out of the corner store carrying her little cloth tote full of wine bottles. Sometimes she would take hours. He waited for his babysitter Sherrie to stop making out with her boyfriend so he could show her how he colored in the lines or to read her a story. Sometimes she would shut the door and tell him to go away. Drew Dixon waited every day of his life to matter. He never did.

It wasn’t until he was about thirteen that he started acting out. By this time his parents had split, not that Drew hadn’t seen it coming since he was six years old, and his mother had remarried. Rich. His name wasn’t really Rich, it was Gary, but Drew called him as he saw him. Lisa Reeves (formly Dixon) only married him as an upgrade. He had a nice house and a nice car and didn’t mind that she had a kid. Rich was at least ten years older than his mother but he dyed his grays to try to fool the people around him. Drew thought it was ridiculous but so was everything else. It was this, living with Rich and Lisa in Capeside, or shacking up in a tiny apartment in Boston with Leon Dixon, father extraordinaire, and his cat Minx.

It was in Rich’s nice house where Drew’s new behavior problems went most noticed. It was attention, something he had never received before, and although it was bad Drew continued just because he was finally being noticed and he didn’t want that to stop. He’d skip class, break curfew, steal a few things here and there. By the time he was sixteen he’d been to juvenile detention twice, a total of six days stayed, for missing too much school and petty theft. It dulled out as he got older, as he got less attention for what he was doing and more often than not ignored in hopes that he would cut it out and go away. But he still tried, doing bigger wrongs and purposely going against the rules laid out for him and challenging every moral and belief Rich and Lisa held. Not all of which, unfortunately, were even done to piss them off. Some things were just how Drew felt about life and love and just being.
