Holy shit. This is fuckin' great. I've met so many of these people.
My ex's Dad is the father for sure. Motorcycles, Metallica, and crank. Cool fucking dude though.

Reading through this again, a horrible realisation dawned upon me: so far the character describing me best is the Susan Greene.
I keep a nice cosy apartment for the other shamans to chill and use, make good meals for them and rarely have to pay for my drugs. Shit, nearly that entire story ticks every box, except for being a woman and being a gossip.
I've got one too, I'll write it later today.

Let's brighten up the mood a bit.
9. The Geek Coming in as the ninth member of this crooked group of couch dwellers is The Geek. With his quick wit, unimposing nature, and general reliability it’s hard not to like this fellow. You stumbled into meeting The Geek at some awkward place and time, and over the course of a few months became really good friends with him. You now find yourself stop-light-stoned in his room, talking at length about space, more often than you’d care to admit. Despite The Geek’s sweet tooth for weed and booze, he maintains a respectable academic resume. He’s currently studying Neuro-something, and has a real passion for it. He once got baked and tried to talk to you about the concepts, while you happily pretended to understand. The Geek is an all-or-nothing sort of dude. The man doesn’t simply do drugs, he fucking minors in them. If Alexander Shulgin had twelve disciples, this guy would be the first on the list. He’s part of that 1 percent of the population that knows LSD is the acronym for “lysergic acid diethylamide” and perhaps the only percent that cares. In listening to him closely, you discover that his immense knowledge of all things psychoactive is simply the by-product of a serious internet addiction. Although his overly-scientific approach to drugs frightens the average pothead, you’ve come to appreciate it. After all, Reddit needs folks like this; Brave heroes, unafraid of engaging in that all too important discussion on the bio-availability of insufflated Methoxetamine HCL in humans. When he’s not doing drugs or in class, The Geek is engaging in one of his many other passions. He could be locked in his room tinkering with that audio/video system to get the setup just right. Perhaps he’s programming an AI for an old modified copy of DOOM, or tactically text-messaging that cute girl he met in clumsy haste the day prior. The Geek is just the right amount of awkward to get away with these sorts of endeavors without seeming any stranger than everyone already believes he is. He uses this “patently-odd” reputation to his advantage, and plays up his own quirky demeanor just for kicks. Despite what folks may say about him, The Geek is usually having a better time than the others. He, The Geek, is content in his self-constructed world of numbers and science and big ideas, and nothing can change that.

Thanks!
Some days I find myself perfectly resembling this character, other times I can be a bit of the opposite

I feel like one that I could most relate to isnt there yet.

I think that's the one I related to most also but not entirely, I'm hoping there's one that describes me exactly but there probably won't be.. I just get bits and pieces from each. Then there are other parts of me that haven't been defined yet in any of them. The part about the bioavailability of insufflated MXE made me 
Look forward to the rest, this was an interesting read this afternoon. Good stuff MM

Folks, im pleased to introduce to you all 10. Paco
Paco and you met at Electric Forest '12. You had the shits from the dozens of half assed campfire hotdogs you ate and he happened to be crack-walking through the bathrooms. Mid stim daze and desperate, Paco was in the market for free wallets and your back pocket was looking fat. As you turned to enter the overflowing Port-O-John, he snapped away from your pocket and into your face. To cover up being caught mid-lifted, Paco then proceeded to do what Paco knows best: shouting insults and then trying to sell overpriced cocaine.
Now normally you would've waltzed on into the John without paying Paco a second cent worth of time, but a "normal" day it was not. At the time, you were still experiencing the nasal drip of a "killer dose" of molly carefully weighed out by some farsighted punk who'd lost his glasses. During this overdosed MDMA come-up, Paco was the perfect man for the job. After insulting you in broken English, he embarked on a speed-rant regarding some beef with his cousins boyfriend. Sounds appealling? It wasnt, but on MDMA you willingly transformed into a sort of temporary psychologist for the guy. You felt that it was a transcending moment of charity; to spend the following four hours talking to Paco about "family values" at his van/camp site and doing coke.
By the end of the ordeal, when your serotonin receptors started running noticeably low on juice, you offered to buy some of the " great-fishcale-fire-china" coke he was selling as a way of parting from the situation. He then, offering the following words of wisdom, swiftly packed his van to drive away: "Aye did I say coke meng? Thats ice, my goof. Hahahahahahahah!"
Following that festival, you never ran into ol' Paco again. That number he gave you (to call about your stimmed-out "business plan") turned out to be for some Citgo in Kansas. Chalking the encounter down as a "freak mistake", you realize you learned two things about life that day. That your heart can only beat so fast before something breaks, and that beaners sell meth as coke.
