Date: 2011-01-11 03:39 am (UTC)- Tends toward creepiness. (See: taking pictures of people while they sleep.)
- Does not smile in photos unless you catch him unawares, and is usually making funny faces.
- Is particularly adorable making funny faces in photos with small children.
- Is enough in sync with Sean that they came up with the same band name on the same day.
- Is on at least polite terms with Bill.
Gabe:
- Is a hell of a lot smarter than anyone gives him credit for.
- Is a romantic in the sense that he wants true love and commitment.
- Made/makes very deliberate choices about his image. (This may or may not be true, but I write as if it is.)
- Always refers to Vicky-T as "Victoria" in interviews.
- Works as a musician, but has other business skills/interests (poker, previous restaurant ownership, clothing co-design) to fall back on.

Date: 2011-01-11 03:49 am (UTC)William:
- Is a man, not a teenage girl.
- Spent a lot of time remodeling his house/working on the yard.
- Had a hilariously teenage solo career before TAI.
- Was friends with Jason first.
- Is apparently quite private about his life because I can't think of anything else useful/more in depth.
