His skin was a positive disaster up until his seventeenth birthday but then it cleared up seemingly overnight and he went from the kind of guy who girls muttered at behind his back to the kind of guy that girls muttered to each other about as he walked towards them. Now twenty and excelling at an Electrical Engineering Bachelors he's finding that 'all work and no play' makes Gabriel a dull boy. Thankfully a somewhat unlikely - but rewardingly strong - friendship with Brett Callaghan is helping massively with the 'play' side of that equation. Some of his wilder thoughts, when mentioned to Brett, turn into superb ideas for a bit of fun and neither of them have yet fallen foul of anything even remotely official.<br/><br/>And as for those muttering girls? Well Gabriel finds a lot of them quite boring. For sure he enjoys sex as much as the next long-sex-starved geek does but its all the talking that goes before and after the sex that he finds boring. Snapface this and Instachat that and 'does my ass look big in this' etc. etc. Who the fuck cares, right? He doesn't need to talk about Dostoyevsky or Nietzsche - good job too because they were artsy types and he has little time for that crowd - but a real conversation about real things or with people who knew who they were and what they were about... Yeah, he could go for that big time.<br/><br/>Career wise he's on the right track. Northrop Grumman and Google have been sending him fruit baskets for a while now. He still needs to deliver at the end of the year but he's not terribly worried about that. His parents are supportive without being cloying and are just about able to send him a decent allowance without, themselves, having to live under a bridge.<br/><br/>Brett's suggestion that the head to spring break in Florida hit him just at the right time. He'd finished a paper that was due in the week after and so there was nothing particularly holding him back. Spring break was another of those things that he'd heard about growing up and yet not experienced thus far. So yeah, he's going for it. He called 'Shotgun!' only to have it explained to him that since there were only the two of them he was going to get the front passenger's seat anyway or else it'd look like they were Ubering down to Florida.<br/><br/>"Well shotgun for when we get some girls in the back then...." he added a little late and a little lamely.
