A storm won't stop the wheels of this hot machine. I fight through the flood, the rain and the mud, with the pulse in the blood, the force of the metal - To hell with the devil, I'm selling my soul to you.

[/sup]Hello, ALISTAIR ELTANIN MORGAN.
>> Is there anything you would rather be called?
"Just call me Alistair, unless you can think of something more creative than Aly. My mother calls me that and I hate it.”
>> You know, has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like...?
“Tom Welling. I‘d have to agree with you, there. Pretty good - handsome - comparison.”

Let's talk about your personality.
>> What are a few of your favorite things?
“I bought a really crappy motorcycle off of my friend when I was like 16, fixed it up in this old shed on our land that my parents never look in. Now its my baby, so that’s definitely my favorite thing out there. If I ever get a good girlfriend she’ll top it, though, so I obviously like girls. I really have no idea why a guy would ever want to be gay - I mean, girls are great. There aren’t enough good ones out there… I’ve never been a reader, I don’t have the patience for it, but I respect those who do. Kind of. I’m not into movies or TV, either, because I wasn’t allowed to have one when I was growing up so I just kind of forgot they even existed. Sometimes I’ll watch sports over at a friends house, but being somewhere in person is way better. Ah, anything else? No, I don’t think so…eating, maybe.”
>>That's interesting. Is there anything you absolutely dislike?
“Science. Mythology. Whatever my parents are into I hate. We’re nothing alike, and I hate the way they pretend like we will be someday. And contrary to what a lot of people think, I don’t like preppy girls, either. I mean, really, what guy wants to be with a girl that all of his friends have already seen naked? Its like your just watching some show than actually being with someone. And I hate the taste of lemonade and orange juice.”
>> Hm, what is your greatest fear?
"Burning alive. I mean, that’s got to be hell, right? The torment you’d have to go through before you actually died. Hair burning off, blood boiling, skin blistering. That’s just nasty.”
>> Yeah, that is scary. Do you have any dreams for the future?
“I don’t know if you really want to call them dreams, but yes. I want a job that I’m good at and that I like, I want a family - a real family, not this pathetic one I have now. I’ll take care of my family. Wife, children. As for a career, I’m not sure what I want to go into yet. Something mechanical sounds good. But I don‘t have dreams of winning anything or being recognized for something. I just want a life.”
>> Wow, I hope you succeed. Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
“…What? Was I supposed to be answering these questions for someone else? I think I’ve already told you quite a bit, no? What, do you want my date of birth or something? I was born on July 19th, I don’t really like these questions, I’m an only child. I don’t have any tattoos or piercing, because those are just stupid. Is that enough for you? Yes, I think so.”

So far so good. Now for history.
>> So tell me, where are you from? What did you think of it?
"I was born and raised in Greece, because my mother’s Greek and that’s where she and my dad were living at the time because apparently astronomy is still…kind of popular there. My dad’s from Wales, though, which is in the UK. We moved back to Wales when I was about 10, because I hadn’t learned Modern Greek and I’d have to start going to school there. I liked it in Wales much better, too, Haverfordwest is where we live, actually. But I wont tell you much about that because somehow I feel you’re going to be stalking me, interviewer. Its nice there, though, where I am now. Nice people, good friends, less parents. Its…home. Kind of.”
>> Do you have any other family? Parents? Siblings? Extended? What do you think about them?
"Yeah, I’ve got parents. My dad’s a professor of mythology, and my mums an astronomer, so that’s where I got my weird names. They’re nice enough people, I guess, but they’re not exactly the kind of people you want your friends - or a girl - around. They used to take me to expos and lectures - a lot of religion and science crap. They’d even ditch on stuff I did at school just to hear some guy talk about aliens and stuff. My dad thinks I’m a big disappointment, but who cares? I’d end up killing myself before I ever did something scientific. I want a life, not a lab.”
>> What is your worst memory/memories?
"I think I was 11, so it was my first year of real school in Wales, 5th grade. We were having a presentation on...well, anything, really, all of us kids did one each. My mom was the only one to show up, and she spent the whole time talking to this one kid about his constellation map while I stood there with no one with my matchbox car display. That’s when I decided I wanted nothing to do with my family, or my parents, because I knew they were disappointed in me and I didn‘t want to try anymore. And at 11 that’s the worst feeling ever.”
>> What is your best memory/memories?
"Ah, finally an easy question! Every day I worked on my bike, I remember every single one of those days clearly. Just working on it, and finally completing it. Those are my best memories.”
>> Where are you now? What are you doing with your life?
“I’m right here, being interviewed by you? Just trying to live my life the way I want to live it, without my parents from now on. Looking forward to what’s to come, I guess.”
