He wears plain t-shirts and collared polos, skinny guys' jeans and Vans and regular dress shoes even. He'll go around shirtless sometimes on tour though, he's got a great body, not even gonna lie. He wears his hair up, if that makes any sense -- his used to be super fucking long for a guy; yeah, he had the whole Florida surfer boy look going on for him. He dyed it from his natural blonde to a dark brown plus he cut it short twice; the first being short enough for him to have it fall into his eyes, and the last time making it really short, short enough for him to gel it up a bit.

THIS GAME HAS GOT ME SHAKING HANDS
- - with my own enemy ,
[/font][/center]- - with my own enemy ,
[/size] posers, liars, fakes, sluts, whores, cheaters, the color yellow, bees, dragonflies, awkward silences, extreme weather, lying to anyone, cigarettes, not having wi-fi, being classified and judged, spicy food, mushrooms of all kinds good and bad, kids who claim they know all about a band when they really don't like them for the music itself, groupies, underaged fangirls, girls who whore themselves out, one-night stands, walnuts, cold weather, being pressed for time, procrastination, not getting the job done by a deadline, excessive sarcasm, pollen and allergy season, waiting in airports for a long period of time, being stuck in traffic, wind, anger, animosity, drama, sorrow, sadness
• • LIKES , living in Florida, sunny weather, playing guitar, writing, everyone he meets unless they give him a reason to dislike them, fans, people in general, walking around, going on tour, anticipation and excitement plus the elements of surprise, never knowing what's gonna happen, being daring, energy drinks, alcohol, smoking hookah, going out, pretty girls, his iPhone, scary movies, Mediterranean food, the beach, going surfing, thinking, coffee, talking and being social, giving advice, the east coast, travelling, Australia, accents, aviators, being pretty mellow, his macbook, friends, making friends, happiness, drinks, unsigned bands, promotions, the internet, being a closet geek (but not being really secret about it at all), humor, sexual innuendos, shameless flirting, cuddle sessions, cooking, sweetness, iced tea, excessive tweeting or blogging, texting, phone calls, being neat, being awesome, taking naps, being young, winning, trees, puppies, birds, freedom, people thinking that he's older because he looks more mature than twenty
• • DISLIKES ,
• • STRENGTHS ,[/size] his balance between being serious and wild, his friendly yet strong personality, being honest, being a good listener and having good advice, being logical, being able to find interesting things, having a very innovative and creative side, his timeliness, being able to do work and getting things done
• • WEAKNESSES ,[/size] sweet girls, animals, good music, coffee and anything with caffeine in it (energy drinks are win), the fact that he'll stay up late for whatever reason -- whether it be to help a friend or just to keep someone entertained, a promise of a fun
• • FEARS ,[/size] breaking a bone, having to get surgery, crazy stalkers, knives and sharp objects, extremely large insects (so basically like, idk, cockroaches and tarantulas and shit like that), dying early or getting cancer or something serious like that, asphyxiation
• • SECRETS ,[/size] he's an open book and he hates keeping secrets from people -- his life isn't a bad one and he's a good guy, so he's got nothing to hide. therefore, no secrets.
• • PERSONALITY ,[/size] Jesse's number one rule is to never judge a book by its cover, and he stands firmly on that -- if you don't judge him, he won't judge you. Don't think that just because he looks serious, he's lame, because he's really not. If you asked anyone about him, they'd tell you the same thing -- he's not boring, he's just very laid-back and mellow. Hey, someone's gotta be. He's pretty personable and he's usually like a brother figure to people he knows; more often than not someone's coming to him for advice or asking him for his opinion on this and that, and he's more than happy and willing to do that. He's pretty damn honest, he won't sugar coat something for you, so it's either a good or bad thing for you depending on how personal you take the answers to an opinion question. He likes to help people and he'll stand up for someone or whatever is right, he's more or less the voice of reason between conflict and he doesn't judge people for what they do. He has a gift for seeing the good in everyone -- in a sense, he's definitely not a hater, he's very loving and he's got no logic for hate anyway. He pretty much gets along with anyone because he's so easily approachable, he's got a comfortable aura around him so it's easy for people to get to know him.
Not always serious like this, there are only a few people that can make him super silly, and that's his family and the rest of his band mates. Other than that, Jess just kind of has a quiet exterior, observant at best. He's got a fair amount of friends that he's met and kept throughout the years, but only a handful of them are his close friends. He prefers a small group of people rather than large gatherings, but he won't turn down an offer to go hang out, nor will he be the awkward one to stand to the side in that kind of situation. He's really friendly and he likes meeting people, he'll go out of his way to talk to you whether you're a friend of a friend or you're a fan that he just met at the signing booth or something. He never forgets a face or a name, and he likes to talk with people about anything if they wanted to, he likes to get to know everyone. That's just who he is, he's curious. On the less-mellow side, he does have a wild side that'll come out at random times, especially when he's drinking with people. Not that he's an alcoholic, but he does enjoy social drinking. He likes to ramble a lot (sober and drunk) and he likes to think. Which can be a bad thing, because sometimes he DOES over-think things, but he'll drop it soon after once he realizes he's being ridiculous.
Jesse isn't a fan of drama or fakeness at all. When people pretend to know him, he hates it -- claiming is different than actually knowing things about him. While he is an open book, he doesn't like rumors being spread about him or anyone else he knows and likes, which is just about everyone unless you really give him a reason to not like you. One of his biggest annoyances are people who lie, pathological liars -- he's had all too much experience with one, since he dated one for almost two years. Speaking of relationships, he really is a relationship type of guy, but when he's out of one, he's kind of dumb. Falling easily is something that's one of Jesse's major flaws.
Other things about Jesse: he's got a cute nervous laugh, but when he smiles he can easily charm whoever it is that's looking at him. He's also prone to fixing his hair a lot with his hand, as well as making silly faces that involve biting his lip or something like it.
"I must sound really fucking boring right now, ugh. I’m really not, I swear! I guess if you asked anyone who knows me I’m pretty chill, pretty mellow -- I’m kind of serious I guess? Only not always. Like I said, there are only a few people who can really make me ridiculously silly. I’d like to think that I’m at least outgoing enough, I do like meeting people and I’m pretty friendly, I like getting to know people. With that said, I would rather have like, a close group of fifteen friends rather than a hundred acquaintances, you know what I mean? I don't really like when people pretend to know me, either, or when people are being fake. If you didn't notice, I kind of also ramble a lot when I’m thinking. I think a lot too. Um. Yeah. A lot of people say that I’m real personable, that I give good advice and that I’m pretty much the group mediator whenever it's needed. Voice of reason, I suppose. I like that job though; I do like to help people and my friends. I’ll stand up for anyone, really, and I don't judge anyone for what they do. If they're a nice person and I can see it in their hearts, I have no problem with them. I don't hate anyone, I can't hate anyone. Or, I guess I can, but no one's ever done anything so bad to me. So yeah, there's no logic for hate in me. As long as you stay true to yourself and you don't do anything bad or to start drama that'll involve me or someone I care about, we'll be fine. I get along with everyone, I like talking. and deep conversations. But yeah, no drama, kthx. I’ve been out of high school for a while and I still stand on it, drama is really really lame. Also, those people who like, only like other people solely because they're in bands equals a big turn-off.
...uh. Well, for starters, I’m straight. Yeah, I’ve experimented maybe once or twice before, but I’m pretty sure I’m straight. If I’m not...well I’ll get back to you on that? I don't know. I’m still young. Anyway. I’ve been in a few relationships before, they all seem to last a really long time. If you really wanna know, my first kiss was when I was in seventh grade, so what's that, when I was twelve? Unless you count all the cutesy kisses that you do with girls when you're in elementary school. I don't really remember. But yeah. All the girls I’ve dated were nice? I dunno. my friends have strong opinions 'cause they don't really think anyone that we knew in high school deserved me -- I’m a nice guy, whenever I’m in a relationship I’m actually attentive to the girl and all that. I’ve been hurt a few times, so I guess that makes me not too smart in that whole department. Someone get me relationship lessons or something that'll tell me when a girl's gonna screw me over? Oh. haha. screw. I lost my virginity when I was sixteen. I don't mind sex, it's alright -- are you gasping right now? yeah, I said it's just alright. I’d rather cuddle. but sex is nice. uh. I’m newly single, actually, now that I think of it. I’m not really looking for a relationship right now either; but every time I say that I always end up having a girlfriend like, three weeks later. I’m stupid and I fall easily. but yeah. I’m single and open to meeting new people."

AND I BET YOU WONT FIND
- - one weak bone in me ,
[/font][/center]- - one weak bone in me ,
[/size] Josh Murray, older brother, 22; Elissa Murray, younger sister, 17. Jesse gets along well with both his siblings, their age gaps aren't great so they all still manage to tolerate each other since they all went through phases almost together. But really, they're all cool, they're good kids.
• • PARENTS , Carolyn Murray, 47, teacher; Andrew Murray, 47, professor at the University of Miami
• • SIBLINGS ,
• • OTHER FAMILY ,[/size] ---
• • SIGNIFICANT OTHERS ,[/size] Kristin Fletcher, most recent ex-girlfriend that he was dating for 2 years until recently, but he's always on/off with her lately. Jesse is sadly roped in, he keeps going back to her when she makes him feel like shit.
• • CHILDREN ,[/size] ---
• • BIRTH PLACE ,[/size] Orlando, Florida
• • HISTORY ,[/size] Most of Jesse Murray’s life was pretty normal. He's a polite person, pretty sociable and the person that everyone knows even if they're not friends with him. As the middle child in his family, he's always been the more normal one in comparison to his older brother and younger sister, earning him the position as the definition of super mellow. Having grown up in sunny Florida, he was pretty much the typical Florida guy who liked to do things like skate and surf all the time. But more than that, he was all pretty much in for music – having self-taught himself how to play guitar when he was 13, he’s definitely come a long way since starting out. Having been in bands for as long as he can remember, his former one had broken up in the winter of his junior year due to "creative differences" and whatever. But not soon after, it was then where he was recruited by his friend TJ Callaway as their second guitarist after their first one left around the same time -- Jesse knew him from playing against his band at their high school's Battle of the Bands, as well as from playing other shows together. With Forever Til February's lineup complete again, they were fortunate to stay together for the last three years no matter what obstacles have come their way, as a group and as individuals. For Jesse it was his girlfriend, Kristin, who he had been seeing since the middle of his sophomore year. Not the typical band girlfriend that you'd expect her to be, a lot of his friends would say she was much worse than they thought she'd be. She definitely stressed Jesse out even more, with her fears that when his band made it, he'd "leave her behind," even if he would never do that -- besides, he's too nice for that. Even if Jesse knows that she was pretty damn annoying and would fight with him and then guilt trip him into staying with her/going back to her in any way, Jesse still tolerates it even if it means getting his heart broken. What a fool in love, except not. Currently he's single again, he having had broken up with her in May, and this is probably the longest period of time that they haven't been together. His focus has totally gone to the band since it's his passion and he needs to get over his ex/make sure he doesn't go back to her again, so you could say that when Forever Til February was signed to Past Twelve Records it was a blessing. The band's still going, gaining ground and he's having fun with his life, touring and playing shows with his best friends. Jesse definitely has no regrets for his decision to join the band; sure, he kinda wonders how it would've been if he had gone to college instead, but at least his parents are supportive and proud of him and his decision.
"My name is Jesse Adam Murray, but you can just call me Jesse or Jjess if you want. Please don't girl-ify my name, I hate that ): I’m twenty turning twenty-one -- 1989 ftw, right. My birthday's on July 12, if you need to know that, give me hugs and presents. Or just hugs. I play guitar and do some of the backing vocals for Forever Til February and I’m pretty good at it if I can say so myself. That’s my job. TJ recruited me in our junior year, we knew each other since middle school but we definitely weren’t as close as we could have been. Other than that, I probably would've been a student at like, I don't even know, some college somewhere. I was going to go to northeastern university -- don't judge, I did well in high school. But yeah. I like music lots, playing in a band is way better than slaving away writing papers in a dorm room or a library. Hmm? How do my parents feel about this? I’m a southern boy. I have an older brother named Joshua or josh, he's twenty-two and he's a senior at Duke University. We’re a bunch of smarty-pantses; even my younger sister Elissa is smart as hell, she's an AP student and she's only a junior in high school. So yeah, that's my family -- two parents and two siblings, with me in the middle. Oh right. How do they feel about me being in a band? They don't mind, they're proud of me no matter what I do, and I’m a lucky guy because of that. Plus they know I’m insanely devoted and musically inclined, so if anything, they knew this was going to happen."
^ yeah fuck, lazy, later.
