description
This could be any young, male college student, and maybe it is. Gareth has dark brown hair, a supercuts style that's about four months past its due date. His skin seems naturally lightly-tanned and smooth, eyes an unrecognizable slur tht might be blue, might be brown, might be hazel, the combination that might come from a geneticist that is both indecisive and lazy. Add to a mild mouth, decent cheekbones and jaw - the only thing that stands out is an otherwise slight nose that looks like it was broken and reset at some point long in the past.
Gareth is possessed of a nervous energy. Today he wears a long-sleeved flannel shirt, a purple tee shirt with some kind of retro-gaming design on it, worn jeans, and Converse all-stars shoes. He might walk with a mild limp - or maybe people just have vivid imaginations. Nah, on second thought, he walks just fine.

Gareth's Earworm (this week):
Don't Let's Start - They Might Be Giants
No one in the world ever gets what they want
And that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad
And that is beautiful
They want what they're not and I wish they would stop
singing: dibbededangdang, da dibbedee dang dang...

You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're as charming as an eel
Mr. Grinch, you're a bad bananna with a
greasy black peel!

quotes
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."
- Samuel Johnson
"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent, but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light."
— Stanley Kubrick
To stand here and try to fix her life is just a big waste of time. People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.
-Chuck Palahnuik, Survivor

If it stinks it's Chemistry
If it's green and wiggly it's Biology
And if it doesn't work... it's Physics.
