◙ Nineteen, he was born the only child of Cynthia and Seth on April 17th. Though he has a multitude of cousins, he's never had any sisters or brothers.
◙ Parents tended to travel before he was born and continued to until he was about twelve years old. He was instilled with ideas of free love and appreciating all things from the Earth. Also reassured that there was nothing wrong with using marijuana for self-enlightenment.
◙ First attended public school at age thirteen and hated it. He was no dunce and learned quickly but the other kids made fun of his name and constantly teased him about his clothes.
◙ Was never really football-captain-popular but he got along easy with most of his classmates. Should be noted that, yes, some kids befriended him because of his parent's excellent weed.
◙ During high school, he found himself interested in the visual arts - particularly working with ceramics, pottery, etc.
◙ His parents own a small store that sells a variety of things, including hemp clothing, homegrown fruits and vegetables, even artwork. Inside, there's always the powerful smell of incense and local, independent artists tend to migrate here to promote their concerts and events. Every third Sunday of the month, a poetry slam is held in the store's back-lot.
◙ Has moved out of his parents house since starting university last Fall and lives in an apartment with (
OPEN). Not exactly luxury living. Forrest makes sure to lock
and chain his door at night. Still sometimes throws in an extra hand at his parents store, particularly with delivering groceries.
◙ Bright and has his own sense of humor but he has trouble articulating. He can do parties and socialize farly well but his nerves get rattled with public speeches. Mumbles a lot, generally doesn't offer up too much information when first meeting someone.
◙ Never all that well-off, he tends to get his wardrobe from thrift shopping. He has no thoughts of being trendy or fashionable with this hobby, just in saving money.
◙ Hates getting his hair cut but must suffer the consequences and always have it in his eyes.
◙ Doesn't own a car. When he's not walking, he's taking some alternate mode of transportation - biking, riding a bus or bumming a ride.
◙ Has defined himself as being pansexual since discovering what the term meant. Namely, if he feels a connection and attraction to someone, gender simply isn't an issue.
◙ Fairly open to meeting new people and being introduced to new ideas. He's something of an optimist and hates to argue. Was absolutely creamed in the first and only fight of his young life.
