SECRET: he's got a thing for the bassist in his band, which, isn't that difficult to figure out. he often questions however if it's because he's trying to convince himself that he doesn't feel anything towards his best friend who fell off the face of the earth. he also can't help but compare the two sometimes. he's done this with all his female friends and relationships in the past eight years.
PERSONALITY TRAITS: determined. stubborn. loud. hard-working. life of the party. intelligent. can't be told. worrier. caring. protective. friendly. spontaneous. outgoing. charming. silly. partier. over thinks things often. easy going. mostly without regret. selfless. hopeless romantic. good intentions, but they often don't work out. good listener. guarded. uncertain. sweetheart. borderline alcoholic. quick-witted. honest. curious. competitive. positive. affectionate. perfectionist. genuine. ambitious. generous. loyal. often borderline obnoxious.
BIGGEST REGRET: alex is a guy who actually doesn't have that many regrets. he's a strong believer in the fact that life's too short to worry about past mistakes - instead, learn from them. you know, that sort of thing. he does have a few regrets despite that. his biggest is probably going to new jersey, since that was the last time he ever saw his best friend.
INTERVIEW:
hey everyone! here we are with one third of party poison. can you please introduce yourself?
"hey! um, my name's alex ortega and i play guitar and sing for this really shitty band i'm in with two other losers. our name's party poison." his expression is serious and there's a long pause, the interviewer clearly trying to decipher if he's joking or not. a few moments later, alex begins to laugh and speak again. "nah, we're not that bad actually."
thanks for coming to chat with us today, alex. you prefer alex, right?
alex nods in agreement, he honestly can't stand being called alexander. "yeah. alexander makes me cringe. please for the love of god call me alex or xander or something."
how are you finding tour so far?
"tour's pretty cool." he nods, smiling. "i mean, it's difficult sometimes but it's nothing i really can't handle. it still amazes me how many kids come out to our shows."
yeah, you guys are pretty popular. what's something you really can't stand about touring?
"i don't really know. yeah tour's not as glamorous as it's cracked up to be, but i don't have many complaints about it."
well, it's nice to see someone with a positive outlook! what's something you love about touring or being in a band?
alex pauses for a moment before responding, thinking about the question and an appropriate answer. "gracias. but um, i think it's probably meeting the fans, hearing their stories, making them smile. that sort of thing. um, either that or playing the music."
ah, cool. so, i've heard you don't have any tattoos? do you intend on getting any?
"yeah, i don't. no hidden ones or anything." he chuckles, thinking about the next question. "um, not at the moment."
oh okay. why not?
"i don't know. tattoos just aren't my thing i guess. they're cool when you get them, but they look pretty bad when you get older." there's another long pause and the interviewer opens his mouth to ask the next question before alex speaks again. "that and i'm kind of fucking terrified of needles."
so am i, i can't understand how people do it. but anyway. how's the love life? i hate to be nosy - but it's a question that's submitted a lot.
"nah, it's cool." he smiles, not really minding the question just he doesn't know how to answer without giving too much away. "um, it's pretty boring at the moment. i've got my eye on someone though."
would you consider yourself as a good role model?
his smile fades for a moment as he thinks. "um, i don't really know. i know i'm a role model to some kids but i wouldn't really consider myself a good role model. really you should go to school and get a proper education, as boring as that sounds." alex chuckles softly and he fixes his beanie.
any rumours you've heard about yourself that made you laugh?
"nah, not recently. most rumours about me or the band do make me laugh though, because they're all so ridiculously far fetched."
what are your top three songs currently?
he laughs, fixing his beanie again. "wow. i really don't know, um. i like a lot of songs currently, it's really difficult to pick one." alex tries to think of three, but he can't. "i don't think i can pick one actually. sorry."
it's alright. but what about your favourite movie?
"my current favourite?" he asks, and there's a brief moment of silence before the interviewer nods in agreement. "definitely the avengers. i used to really love marvel comic books when i was younger - and it's a really awesome movie."
where do you see yourself in a few years?
"hopefully doing the same thing. i don't really think too much about the future though, i just go with the flow, you know?
yeah, i definitely know what you mean. but unfortunately we're out of time. any last words?
"don't do drugs, plaid and stripes together are never okay, and i love you all!" he waves, laughing.
