Yay for random dedications, right? This story is for Micaela because I love her like crazy even if she only reads my stories to humor me. :)
Ten Things You Should Know About Me
By Nate Gray for Popstar! Magazine
1. I have fourteen guitars and bring all of them on the road with me.
Truth: I do have fourteen guitars, but Lee, our manager, would kill me if I brought all of them with me.
2. My favorite color is red because I've always thought red was an ambitious color. My mom says I would never wear blue or green or any other color when I was little. Only red.
Truth: Red stopped being my favorite color around the time I stopped playing with toys but Lee says I can't say it's black because they'll all think I'm emo.
3. I was home-schooled all through middle school and high school. I graduated when I was 16, but I'm not going to be one of those really smart kids who go to college when they're really young.
Truth: I actually do want to go to college, but between touring, recording new music, and all the other crap celebrities do, I probably won't have time. Even if I do, Lee and the label say college is a no.
4. My all-time favorite song is "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen but right now, I can't stop listening to John Mayer's new album.
Truth: I hate John Mayer with a passion. I do like his music, but when I went to put Paramore, Lee said no way because Hayley apparently had taken a topless picture. How does that even affect us?
5. I do not lie in interviews. I hate doing that! I tell the truth about everything and if I don't feel comfortable answering a question, I say that.
Truth: Lee doesn't let me tell the truth. Haven't you read everything I've written so far?
6. I'm not dating anyone right now. Being on the road makes it really hard for me to date anyone so I just don't.
Truth: Well, that is the truth, but I love Tess… too bad that's not going anywhere.
7. My perfect first date would be going to a concert and then having coffee at Starbucks and just talking for hours.
Truth: That perfect first date actually happened with Tess. And then we dated for months and I loved her and swore we'd get married before she cheated on me. With Shane. Yeah.
8. Of all the places we've been to, my favorite will always be New York City.
Truth: That's the truth, but just because that's where everything happened with Tess and I. I should probably stop thinking about her.
9. Shane and Jason are my best friends. We do fight quite often because we spend so much time together but they're almost like my brothers.
Truth: Shane hooked up with Tess and then went and announced (to us, not everyone) that he was bi and that he and Jason were together. If we're a family, we're extremely dysfunctional.
10. I'm really OCD about everything. I'm the neat freak in the band and can barely resist the urge of cleaning up after my two messy band mates.
Truth: Okay, that one is completely true.
