Personality:
Sex really isn't a big thing to me, neither is the whole romance thing. Maybe that isn't exactly the whole ideal train of thought, but honestly, I've never made that sort of connection with anyone that makes me want to think of anything else. And hey, I figure I'm young and if you're only young once then you might as well have fun. Right? Besides, I sort of like the feeling of being free and not worrying about being tied down to any one particular girl...perhaps its just another way for feel as if I've got some sort of freedom? I dunno; what I do know is that if someone is looking for a good time, and they've struck an interest in me then I figure why the hell not? As long as both of us leave happy then I really don't see why there would be any sort of problem with the way I choose to conduct myself.
I wouldn't exactly say I'm honestly all that friendly. No really, more often than not I would rather be tucked away somewhere far from large groups of people. And sure, I know that clashes with some of the other traits I'm known for, and I wouldn't turn someone away if they wanted to talk, its just that I like my alone time. Besides, with the growing up that I've had its something that has become more of a natural state for me than not. I know how to hold a conversation and when to nod and smile at the right times, so I guess you could say that I've got a sort of friendly vibe to me, so thats always a good thing. And besides that, I do have that select group of friends that I feel the most comfortable to be myself around. The ones where I can show more of my true self rather than the sort of image that I tend to put out there for the other people that I'm around when at Hogwarts. So maybe I'm not being the most honest person around, but I consider it better than simply brushing everyone off and being called a cold bastard.
Everyone has their skills and abilities that they're fantastic at, right? Well it just so happens that I've got my own as well, mine just happens to me that I'm an artistic soul. I have a strong appreciation for not only the artwork produced by those who are of magical blood but for those of the muggle world as well, and the thing that I definitely have the strongest soft spot for is Photography. I even decided to go a head and take it up while at Hogwarts and often use that as an excuse to escape away from those around me and find some quiet time to myself. Its that time where I really get to think to myself, and its something that I think I could seriously get into as an actual career if I was presented with the oppurtunity. I guess you could say if you wanted to catch me in one of those senitmental moments, it would be when I'm out with one of my cameras and able to really capture the images that I want. When I feel like the artwork I'm making is presenting the feelings that I want to portray within them, though the chances of finding me are pretty slim. Since I make a point of finding places others don't often know about.
Yeah, remember how I told you I came off as..friendly? Well let me tell you here and now, if some random person who I've never met comes up to me get ready to see one of the awkwardest people around. No joke, I don't handle situations where I'm forced to meet new people and make "new friends" very well. In fact, I may come off as the 'cool' kid from time to time, but that will never become obvious unless I'm with people that I've known. And yeah, I know that makes me a bit of a weirdo but there really isn't anything I can do about that. If there was, I probably would have jumped on it quite some time ago before I went and made a fool of myself in front of those new people. I consider myself quite lucky that I appear as desirable to anyone when it comes to this school. Because in all honesty I'll trip over just about anything win the presence of new people, and I'll jumble my words together and I tend to fidget a lot. Its just not a very good combination for those who don't know me and I'm trying to well, at least meet.

General History:
Growing up was always an adventure for me, maybe not the most stable, but I always tried to look at it as something of a learning experience. I never was very good at the whole warming up to new people and so growing up the whole friend making thing and so more often then not I simply stuck to my own thing, or hung around with my twin. It was something that helped the two of us, or at least for me, form what I'd consider a relatively good relationship.
And sure, there have been those ups and downs, those times where I would have loved nothing more than to simply get away from my family. To have that one stable home with that stable family that wasn't constantly moving around, but I guess if we had that sort of family I wouldn't be the person I am today. And hell, by the time both Lysander and myself got into Hogwarts I'd become completely custom to staying in one place for a short amount of time, so to be thrust into a place for several months at a time wasn't exactly my cup of tea. The first year there I basically stuck to my brother as much as possible, and it helped that we were both sorted into Ravenclaw.
Sure, I met a few people here and there but I never got very close to them, and in the stead of my brother and other people around Hogwarts I found myself drawn towards Photography. It was something I could do with a group of people, but something I could do on my own as well. It was also something I found to be rather relaxing, a source of escape. But hey, after that I'd like to at least consider the rest of the years I've had at Hogwarts were ones that went perfectly fine. Hell, I even got a bit better at actually interacting with people. Or at least enough that I was invited to parties and had a couple of girls come up and ask me out. Though let me tell you that those girls were basically what one would consider one night stands, since at the end of the night they'd say thanks, pick up their clothes and head for the hills.
That was why I adapted the sort of ideas that I have on romance currently, if they want it they can have it, but don't expect anything more than that from me. I kinda figure that there might be some sort of right girl out there for me, but I just haven't come across her yet. And I know I should work out some of the issues that I've got, but I can't exactly say I'm motivated to do so, I'd rather focus myself on perfecting things I know that I do have control over. Besides, if I do that then I bet I can get out of Hogwarts and find a job quickly, especially if I've got the better grades and can at least pretend to be Mr. Friendly.
And hell, who knows what sort of adventure I might be able to come across once I leave this place. Hopefully its a place I've never been before, a place I've never experienced before.
