well, hey there, gorgeous, what is that name of yours ?

----- gabrial dante van buren! sexiest name ever and you know it, it may not be the coolest, cus that is owned by yo yo ma, but still my name is sexy. gabriel was my dad's name, his dads name and one or two of my cousins have it too, it's popular in the family. plus, my nonno was pretty bad ass from what i hear, of course they would honor him. dante is the name my mom picked out, i don't know why, she's never given a reason, mostly because she doesn't give a reason. ever. she doesn't need to, you don't argue with my mom, you know? van buren is my step-fathers last name, my real...other... uh, whatever, i've never wanted to change it back to de luca. i was the only one of my brothers to take van buren, the others refused.

i know what your id says, but fess up, how old are you really ?

----- twenty one, now. i'm getting old, it's just not cool. which is exactly what my id says. my birthday is the sixteenth of july.

what about that love life of yours? you're a hottie, you must drive them all wild .

----- of course i do! i'm a model, man. i haven't had that many serious relationships honestly. there was always too much to juggle, school & my mom & stuff. i've never been in love. until now. like, really it's amazing, nothing better then it in the world. can i be cheesy and tell you i am the luckiest man alive? good, because i am. i never thought i'd get together with nai, cus she is like my best friend but when we did it felt right. like she should have been all along. so, yeah, it's pretty amazing for me right now.

[/blockquote]
blood is thicker then water right? why not tell be a little about your family ,

----- i have a huuuge family. a nice big, crazy italian family. there is not enough time to give you the family tree and i'd end up forgetting people anyways. but there is adelina, my mother who is the strongest person i have ever met; daniel, my step dad who is pretty great too he's been really good to me and my brothers, he's never tried to take our dad's place but he has always been there for us. then there is my three brothers; marcello and rinaldo are older then me and there is darius who just turned 19, they all live in italy though. darius and marcello stay together but rinaldo has a wife and two little girls, delia and adelina, named after my mom. then my sisters; gabriella is 12 and then i have two half sisters clara and alison. clara and alison are little angels, sweetest kids ever, gabby was a hellion when she was there age but they are perfect, i love babysitting them. we are all pretty close, my brothers are a little stand offish, they don't approve of my mother remarrying, but she is happy so they are coming around, slowly. especially after marcello has his little girls.

[/blockquote]
you've got to be sick of all this rain, right? so, seriously i have to know what brought you out this way, lovey ?

----- i'm not around all that much, but yeah the rain can be pretty trying. i'm a model, so i do a lot of travelling. uhm, i was born in italy, but we moved when i was 5. we lived in new york with family, where my dad did the most stereotypical italian thing ever; he helped my uncles with their restaurant. he went to school and got a degree in business management and helped them set up a chain. they were in the middle of opening he fourth one when my dad had a heart attack. he was by himself, no one was sure where he was so he didn't get help for a long time. i think i was like 7, when it happened it was rough. plus, my mom was pregnant they were afraid what would happen because of all the stress. after she had gabby we moved to tennessee where we had some family. which was when my mom remarried, marcello left us and went to italy, upset by the marriage. a couple years later we moved to texas, which was good because my rinaldo had turned 18 a few weeks before and left to go live with marcello, tennessee was a pretty painful place for my mom. when darius hit 14 daniel sent him to the academy and daniel put in a transfer to seattle so my mom could be closer to darius. so we moved here to hollow creek.

[/blockquote]
now, what are some of your goals ?

----- hmm, i really don't have any at this point. i'm in a pretty good place, really.

[/blockquote]
i think you're a badass, seriously, you totally give off that vibe, but let's be honest here; everyone is afraid of something. what are you afraid of ?

----- i'm afraid to lose my family. i'd just... die. or losing nai, i couldn't handle that either.

[/blockquote]
okay, what about those things that make you smile? what can't you live without ?

----- nai, my guitar, parties, sleeping in, drinking, the beach, snow, making out, running, ray bans, plaid, skinny jeans , candy, not being in school, helping people out, cooking, traveling, making people laugh, learning new things, philosophy, hamburgers, swimming, physical exertion, writing music, singing, rugby, my ipod, birthdays, family dinners, going to the movies, surfing, driving fast, photography, puzzles, a good mystery, hanging out on his roof, spicy food

[/blockquote]
now, how about those things you just can't stand ?

----- cooking- i do too much of it sometimes, moving too often, being serious, being rejected, hangovers, too much work, the thought of scraping money together for university, when people cry, making people cry, being weak, sexism, racism, all the ism’s, pressure, too much responsibility, having to live up to unrealistic goals, ono & red snapper sushi, forgetting important things, stress, not enough time, drama, double standards

[/blockquote]
alright, so this one, it goes in the vault; got any secrets ?

----- i cheated on my qualifying exam for early graduation, i was super hung over so i cheated. i would have passed anyway, with a higher percentage then i got cheating so i don't feel too bad about it.
