--- Chapter 2: To be, or not to be ---
There are many different kinds of people on the world. Poor people, rich
people, optimist, pessimists, introvert, extrovert, cheerful, gleeful,
sorrowful, depressed, be-joyed, living and dead, man and woman. Some are
young, some are old, some are through age, others through behaviour.
Some are wise, some are stupid. Some are spontaneous, and some are
patient. People can be rebellious, peaceful or lazy. Religious,
trustworthy, straight, gay, homophobic or necrophobic. Some have a great
sense of trends, and some choose to set their own. Some are black, some
are white, some are through colour, others through behaviour.
There are many different kinds of people, and they all have different
personalities, different traits, different pasts and different
motivations. All are unique and continuously themselves, but for some,
this is simply boring.
Imagine I show you three pictures. One is from 18 year old Goth guy.
Longish black hair reaching slightly past his shoulders. His eyes
surrounded by a dark outline and the lips pained a deep black. In his
right ear you can see two earrings above each other. His expression is
that of a deep boredness with life. Though not necessary depressed, just
bored with the whole state of everything. School is but an autocruous
form of enslavement to form the brain in a state demanded by society and
politics. An eternal abyss to keep us meek and satisfied.
The second, a 15 year old popular guy, a hockey shirt is visible on the
bottom half of the image. His face is cheerful and his hair is short and
spiked with gel. The slick popular guy who has got it all. You'd almost
wonder if he wasn't in High School Musical.
The last image I show you is that of an overly well fashioned man. A
scarf like clothing piece is draped around his neck. Though cursed be
the man who actually names it a scarf (that's sooo 2003). The hair is
mid-long and swoop to the side with gel. While some might say this is a
fashionable man, most will most definitely describe this as gay. Not
just gay, Glee-gay. You-go-girl-gay. 'So gay even the gay would call him
too gay'-gay. And is that make up he's wearing? Off course it is, why
did you even ask.
Now say I ask you: 'can you point out the differences?'. You wouldn't
know where to start, and when started, when to stop. But what if I ask
you: 'what are the similarities'. You truly wouldn't know where to
start. It's both a guy, right? At least, the Goth appears a guy, even
though he has long hair. So that's one and...
Obviously you realized the moment I said I had three photo's of three
people, they were the same person. Probably during two Halloweens and
one normal school day. But it wouldn't become an interesting story if
that was true. These three photo's are during three of his many, as
defined by his shrink, stages. Now any other shrink would have a field
day with him. MPD being the most shouted one. He appears to be on an
eternal quest to find himself; he must be extremely self-conscious; he
was ignored as a child. Ooo, how they would have wished he was a case
for them to study on. But no, Dr Phil Hanson just said 'stage' and
attached a 65 dollar bill to it.
The popular stage, the drama stage, the quiet stage, the athlete stage,
the nerdy stage, the gay stage, the Goth stage, the scientist stage, the
punk stage, the mischievous stage, the game stage, the perfect innocence
stage, the Pok?mon stage, the Animae stage, the Chinese stage, and many
many more. He's gone through more stages than there are steps on the
staircase in the Notre Dame - Oo, the French stage, I'd almost forget
that one - He's been a whole range of different characters and he loved
it. Each time he could act different, he could be someone else and could
do anything. The past is good, the future is better and when he gets
bored. He becomes someone else. If there was anything constant, it was
his eagerness to change and completely alter his appearance.
So, who is he really? Although depending on the moment as he might say
different things, his ID says Jule Harrow. Born on July 7th, he grew up
in a family with 2 brothers (Hank of +17 months and David of -5 years)
and 1 sister (Samantha -13 months). Both parents in characteristic
roles. The father had an economics degree and worked in a bank office.
His mother was a stay at home, even though she had studied English
literature. Although the house was very busy and crowded with 3 boys and
one girl, it was a very happy family. The steady income placed their
family in the normal middle class with a decent home and decent schools.
The first 6,7 years of Jules life weren't very interesting. Although the
tv-shows did show an interest in the idea of shape shifting; the Magic
School Bus, has been his favourite show for a long time. Although other
fantasy shows like Around the Twist were watched a lot as well.
As he reached the age of 8/9 years old, he started showing interest in
acting. This quickly grew into voice acting with various voices and
impersonations. It was clear he was a natural at this, seemingly
shifting from Texas country talk to the fine vocabulary of the upper
British class. At the age of ten he won the schools talent award. This
would be the start of the rest of his live.
From the age of 12 it was clear how he wanted to completely change his
ways of life in a flash. At first his parents called it a 'phase', and
although they were partially right. That phase they referred to wouldn't
fade for years to come.
Flash forward. Jule, 21 year old. He is studying economics, 2nd year.
His style: nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, he was very active
outside his study life. Setting all types of activities, coming to
parties, yet not drinking any more the moment he started feeling tipsy.
He was currently the model student. Popular outside, but always taking
studying seriously. While he still liked acting goofy every now and then
and pretending to be someone, or something, else among his friends. His
outdoor appearance was steady and balanced. On one of the many moments
spend in the library he met a girl with longish brown hair who went
through life as Kate. It wouldn't take long until they started studying
alone next to each other. Kate, as it turned out, studied Medicine.
Throughout her childhood she had a good relationship with her uncle, who
was a plastic surgeon. Amazed by the power of looks and how much it
mattered in today's society. Her hobby was somewhat related to this
field as well: sculpting. Although in her current studying years she
doesn't have the most time for this any more. She still practices her
skills every so often, enabling her with a vision of faces only few
have.
As time went on they started talking to each other more and more. About
every day subjects, about their interest, each others lives and pasts.
They learned of each other in the library, on campus grass fields, in
restaurants, in student houses...
Years went by with them 'talking' and 'learning each other' until they
had their own home, their diploma's and their jobs. And those jobs
weren't at the Mac or Coffee shop. Jule was an online stock trader. His
varying life-styles in the past and his overall personality allowed him
to change faster than the stocks could. Or at least, that's what they
say when anybody asks how come he's doing so awfully successful. Now,
we're not speaking about millions of dollars, we aren't even speaking of
1. But with 80grand in the safe and over 400 in stocks, it would be
enough to make anybody jealous. Anybody, except for Kate. Kate was a
plastic surgeon in the practice currently owned by her uncle, whom had
moved himself upward quite successfully. Although barely 30 years old,
she was currently known as the practices top plastic surgeon when it
came down to heads and faces. Moulding out sketches in clay, she could
perfectly communicate with the clients needs. And what she did good in
clay, she did great in skin.
They had a good life. A great life. Any outsider would say that the only
thing that was missing was marriage. Anyone could say how well they
matched to each other, and with 8 years of living together it would seem
about time. But time was not important for them. Marriage, as great as
it was. Was a form of setting things solid and they both weren't that.
Yes, even Kate. Although she might not have been through phases extreme
as Jule. She too likes to mix things up, varying hair length, hair
colour, make-up style, clothing style. She even shaved her head once
discovering that she, unlike some, could pull off the bald look and
still be hot.
Jule by now has grown up a lot, and his phases don't come and go as
extreme as they used to be. Still he, just like his girl, varies his
appearance in the same ways as she does. Only he includes surgeries
every now and then. Through Kate, obviously. They were very subtle and
you never saw any scars once it was healed, like a good sculptor would.
But true extremes have gone missing for most of the year. Except (I bet
you didn't saw this coming) during Halloween.
Since a couple of years they've been regular attendees of the Evertons
Halloween night. A party attended by the wealthy, the interesting and
the influential people of the city and its vicinity. This has been
Jule's favourite time each year. Going all out with a costume that has
been thought of months in advance. Each time more extensive than the
other. Now where others just go for a costume, he goes - his words, not
mine - for an appearance. Thus actually undergoing some surgery. During
the first years they were minor. Attaching fake Shrek ears for his Oger
costume. Adjusting his nose so he could pull of a Tom Cruise along with
a couple of fake teeth. Distorting his face slightly so he could pull of
a zombie properly (with loads of make-up and fake parts).
Every time it would take more preparation for a longer time. Last year,
so far was his biggest one yet: going as a blue creature from the movie
Avatar. From summer long he went through extensive surgery so he could
pull it off practically by solely painting his body blue. Yes, that is
including the wider appearance of the nose, the extending of the pointy
ears. Even a tale has been attached, although that was mostly a
mechanical extension that a designer friend was able to create.
By letting his body be sprayed and subsequently painted with a long
lasting skin paint the day before. He looked practically real when
arriving at the party.
If you thought that year was extreme, you'll never guess what he went as
this year. It took a year of extensive gym training, lots of fake hairs
and facial surgeries on his nose, mouth-area, forehead and even his
hands. But in the end he could pull it off scarily well. For this years
'magic' theme, he was a Minotaur.
