Habitual drinker with brief moments of sobriety which linger only so long for my guilt and regret to swell again to the point where I need a drink ;) 

Also, tragically romantic and terribly cynical at the same time... it's confusing to me too, trust me. 

Inspirations include Heller, Salinger, JP Donleavy, Bret Easton Ellis, Jay Mcinerney, Faulkener, and even goddamn JK Rowling... (anyone my age who hasn't read all the Harry Potter books is pretty much irrelevant)...
