I think I've found a way to keep myself whole I write my fears on green notes I swallow my doubts away and watch them grow old Is that why the past year seems slow? Take me, my heart and my soul Pick me apart and look inside, inside Fill me with dreams I can't hold Keep me afloat in this cold world, cold world

“ I’m just saying -- whoever had the idea to throw a party here was seriously, seriously dumb. ” Jamie looks around the house with a frown, his arms folded across his chest. He’s uncomfortable but he’s trying not to let it show. He thinks it’s obvious, though. He holds his drink in one hand and tries to look around casually. “ First of all, it’s freezing, and second, I don’t know if you can call it a party with, like, ten people here.” There’s a pause before he says, “I swear, if I do see a ghost, I’m dropping out of school.”
jamie doesn’t get sick a lot. but when he does, it’s after he’s been pushing himself too hard. it’s after days without sleep, it’s after days spent out, busy and frantic. he also tends to get sick for a week and some change. it’s never just a few days with a cold. it’s days spent in bed, he complains and is annoyed. he’s not a good person to be around when he’s sick.

it’s a little thing but jamie can’t stand being interrupted. it’s a bit of a hypocritical habit of his -- he’s the sort who will say whatever comes to mind when it comes to mind -- but bing interrupted really just throws him off his groove. he loses track of thought and he just struggles with getting the conversation back to where it was.

jamie had nannies growing up. several of them. every few years, one quick or was replaced. one became his stepmother. they were always the nicest people to him. he never can remember having said thank you to them, and that’s something he regrets. he wasn’t a terrible child, but they definitely deserved a little more respect from him.
his mother would have his hide if she knew he didn’t go to church every week, but he was never as religious as she was. she would tsk and tell him it didn’t matter if he didn’t want to go. it was bigger than him. still, he knows this, and he still doesn’t go.
but he has a rosary in his wallet. he says prayers at night when the day previous has been stressful. it’s the little things he’s kept up with. it might not be what she wanted for him, but something small must be better than nothing, right ?
「 ALBERTO ROSENDE. CIS MALE. HE/HIS. 」 — IS THAT JAMESON “JAMIE” SHEA I JUST SAW IN FORKS? I SWEAR I HEARD PASSENGER BY NOAH KAHAN BLASTING FROM THEIR HEADPHONES, BUT I COULD BE MISTAKEN. THEY’RE PRETTY LAIDBACK FROM WHAT I KNOW, BUT I’VE HEARD A RUMOR THAT THEY CAN BE NARCISSISTIC TOO. THEY KINDA REMIND ME OF SMILES WITH BRIGHT TEETH, QUIET SENTIMENTALITY, THE SMELL OF RAIN AT DAWN.
jamie was born to a man who cared more about keeping his legacy intact than about caring for his child. now, jamie never needed anything, but he yearned for affection and approval. he could get head nods from his father, vaguely accepting in nature, if he did things right, if he listened, but really it was never fulfilling. jamie wanted more. he wanted to make his own choices and be validated for those. he wanted to be himself, not a carbon copy of his father.
but he didn’t know how. he followed the rules. he stayed in line. he listened and learned and he became his father. of course, that is, he did until he went to college. there, there weren’t eyes watching his every move. he could make choices for himself. he went a little wild, he went a little off the rails.
his dad had to pay off the college to allow jamie to stay. but after that, jamie didn’t want to major in business. he switched his major to undeclared and he ended up staying for longer than he was meant to, but he was happy. jamie ended up majoring in theater tech. he studied lighting and cameras and it wasn’t anything practical but he loved it.
his father was not happy. but jamie was, and that’s what counted. he moved to l.a. after he finished school and he started working on sets. he had no need to work, his father was mad but not mad enough to cut off his only son and bring that shame onto the family, but he liked keeping busy. he liked keeping himself active.
he moved to forks to work on his own film projects, ones centered around the pacific northwest.
jamie is ... fun. i love him. he loves jeopardy. he survives on thai take-out. he loves tinkering with technology. he has a penchant for bad puns. he has a watch with a crack on its face that he refuses to replace.
jamie is also staunchly human but is also the sort who would notice vampires and their weird quirks and habits. anyways how cool would that be ?
verse ideas
nosy jamie is nosy verse: jamie somehow ends up befriending a bunch of vampires. jamie notices that said vampires have weird quirks. jamie ... finds out about the vampires. jamie is smart, give him that.
la tua cantante: give me a vampire who wants nothing more to make a snack out of jamie because i would fucking die.
vampire jamie: jamie would probably be changed in the late 80s? like... 1980s... relatively new vampires. god he’d probably love it. i hate him for it. but it would be pretty great.
