DAVID ANTHONY WEBB
but it was only fantasy. the wall was too high, as you
can see. no matter how he tried, he could not break free.
how about we start with the obvious – what's your name?um, my name’s david webb. there isn’t anything special to it, really. webb doesn’t sound french, yet my dad is. which is slightly weird, you know, because he’s tried to find a reason, and nothing came up. but anyway, that’s not interesting, so i won’t talk about it… -shrugs- i prefer to go by dave, but most people don't know it, so i get called 'david', or worse, 'anthony'. i mean, hello. who the fuck calls someone by their second name?! that's the stupidest i ever heard―right after luke feeling something for leia. i mean, come on. they were siblings. ew.
how old are you? and is there a story surrounding your birth? anything interesting?i'm twenty five. isn't that old? it went so fast! seems like i was born yesterday, really. -sighs- what's this for, again? do i really have to tell you all this? i mean, it's not like it's important... -shifts on his chair uneasily- um, okay. i was born on march 1st, 1989. i was... expected on the fourth, but... well, nature doesn't really care, right? -smiles- my mom, she... she was reading of mice and men, or some other shit by john steinbeck. anyway, she was reading when her waters broke. oh, my dad was perplexed, confused. what the hell was happening, and why did you piss yourself and why are you WINCING IN PAIN LIKE YOU'RE GONNA DIE RIGHT NOW?! yeah, my... my dad was like that. always too caring. ANYWAY. so yeah, they quickly went to the maisonneuve-rosemont hospital, and a good eighteen hours later, i was there.
how would you describe your personality?i'm... not sure. i mean, i can't really judge what i am and what i'm not, right? i'll always be biased. like obi-wan said, 'many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.' i like to think i'm a nice, decent guy. maybe that's not what you'll necessarily think of me. -looks down- i'll do my best to render a complete and honest description of my personality. -sighs-
i can get so addicted to anything. well, one thing especially. in my case, it's not alcohol or gambling. it's star wars. ever since i was a kid, star wars was there when the rest of the world wasn't. it's caused me to be isolated from my classmates at school, and eventually mocked. 'because, ew, star wars was so, like, uncool these days.' -scoffs- they didn't know a thing about coolness. i'd get home from school, turn on the tv and the vcr, and feel the usual goose bumps as the words from the opening crawl appeared before my eyes. i've got all the star wars stuff you can possibly think of, and maybe even more. everyday, i wake up, eat my cereals ―in a super rare han solo bowl, yessir― watch star wars... and then i get ready to go to work. i come back, and that's when my day gets so much better. see, i've got a room, i call it my haven, where all my toys, all things star wars related are. and i just... aw, man. i love going there. it's so peaceful. i remember how i got each one of my items, all the crazy stuff i did for them... it's... -sighs- weird, you know. it's not even a collection anymore―it's a part of me .
oh, god. i'm so sorry, it just got a little out of hand, didn't it? personality... hm. right. well, i guess i'm not the most outgoing person you'll meet. hell, no. i'm... i've got a lot of difficulty with people, um... -looks down- interacting with people ain't my thing, not at all. it's just so hard, you know? i'd much rather stay home with star wars than go out with friends. yes, i happen to have some... but i've known them since high school, so i feel okay around them. it's pretty cool.
oh, right. just like i described earlier, i have a routine. and everyday, i've got to stick to it. otherwise i panic and start to feel anxious. real, real anxious. i like it when things are neat and in place. why trying something different when what i already do suits me fine? i've had a few anxiety attacks due to routine changes. i don't wanna feel like i'm having a fucking heart attack again.
