this life has many shades

first middle and last name. andrew haydn dabrowski though i will settle for andy most days. never drew, though. that's the fast track to getting punched in the mouth.
birthdate and age. i was born may 23, 1992 which makes me 22 years old.
occupation. currently my mornings are spent serving up coffee to those who need that sweet nectar of life ( myself being one of them ). afternoons/evenings are spent restocking the shelves of turning pages, a small second hand book store near campus.
who does your family consist of? how many siblings do you have? immediate would be mother, my father, and myself. i am their only child and i don't imagine that will be changing any time soon. my maternal grandmother, gertie, is someone i am close to and would probably consider her more of a parent then either of my actual parents. she spent the better part of golden years putting up with my teenage bullshit so she deserves a gold star.
what kind of pets do you have? i am the proud owner of a newfie named hamlet though he'll answer to ham. mostly because he probably believes he'll be fed some one of these days.
which hawthorn neighborhood do you live in? wentworth village in a small studio apartment. it's not much but it's a roof over my head.
do you live alone? on a cold day in december, a child was left on my doorstep...i'm just kidding! my couch is currently occupied by a small asian girl. i tried to shake her but she feeds me keeps me entertained so i let her stick around.
what is your idea of perfect happiness? i'm not entirely sure that i know what it would be. each time i think i've discovered an absolute pure bliss, it turns out that it was just some masked disaster. for now, i'm pretty content to go along with the ride and enjoy it, instead of wasting time looking for that answer.
what is your relationship like with your parents? if you don't have one, explain. a relationship with my father is all but nonexistent. i haven't spoken to him in years and i don't really plan on changing that. my relationship with my mother is rocky at best but it's at least there. we speak on a somewhat regular basis though the result isn't always positive.
what does your ideal weekend or day off look like? it involves a lot of sleep most likely. ideally, all errands would be run and i could set aside some more personal time for things like reading, painting, writing or whatever.
what do you regret most about your time in high school? that i had to go at all. i am fully aware that i barely scraped by and i'm completely okay with that. i could have tried a little harder but i didn't really see the point.
what word or words do you overuse most often? fuck. shit. what? i tend to zone out on a fairly regular basis so chances are what is going to be the first thing i say to you.
what fictional character do you relate to and why? he's not necessarily fictional but i related quite a bit to augusten burroughs while i read running with scissors. i could relate to his family issues and the clusterfuck that followed.
how would you like to die? either calmly in my sleep or doing something really crazy because those seem like the only two reasonable options.
