[GamKar] That Stupid Addict

I've decided that I've had enough of this shithole town. It's long past the point of being 'time to go.' And by I've, I mean the main character, who is actually me. That's right, I took out the time to narrate my life, just for you, reader.

My name is Karkat Vantas, and today has probably been the suckiest day of my 23 years of existence. I don't even give a damn if 'suckiest' isn't a word. It's true.

Just why has my day been so sucky? Well... It's a long and boring as fuck story, so kick back and enjoy my misery as I recount all the events of this godforsaken day.

Sunshine. That had better not be sunshine. You lift your head just slightly and open one of smokey gray eyes. Goddamn it, it's definitely sunshine; the bane of your existence at this particular moment. These rays of light so irritatingly shining upon your groggy head are a signal, warning you that if you don't wake your sorry ass up, you're going to be late for work. But come on, you feel as though you'd *just* gotten to sleep. It wouldn't be a surprise if that were actually true. Insomnia does prevent such things as sleep, after all. Oh well. You're not getting any younger, and time isn't going any slower.

So with that thought, you drag yourself out of your bed and head into the small bathroom of your apartment, rubbing your eyes and listening to the sound of the old married couple arguing in the apartment room above yours. It's always entertaining, listening to them squabble back and forth about the dumbest shit. No time for that now though. You strip yourself of your clothing and take a brief moment to look at yourself in the slightly cracked mirror. Jesus Christ, your black hair is going in just about every direction possible. You're still pale as a ghost, and you're pretty sure the dark circles under your eyes are a little darker. In other words, you look as bad as ever. Again, not a surprise. After another moment, you turn to the shower and step inside, twisting the knob in the direction of the faded 'H'. You nearly jump out of your skin when a torrent of freezing cold water hits your bare body. You'd figure that you'd be used to it by now, seeing as the water is almost always cold. But nope, your stupid human body refuses to become used to such a thing.

Within ten minutes, you're finally ready to leave. Today, you're sporting your thick black sweater, and your gray pants. You love that thick black sweater, because it's soft and warm. Plus, it's perfect for this time of the year. It happens to be Autumn. The cool crisp smelling air rushing through your still damp hair proves it. You take a deep breath and walk down the steps, proceeding to grab your bike and climb on. You don't wear a helmet. You simply begin to pedal your way to your workplace. Another day another dollar, you suppose.
