Ian and Chrissy Johnson
I: You’ll see guys with a lot of hair wearing them. Its like a beanie with a brim on it. I had a lot of hair. It wasn’t an afro because I relaxed it. I had these huge curls. It was kind of bushy. I could spike it. It was that curly, but almost straight. If you want to say it was bushy, it was. It was a real California look. I came in with a air of confidence with what I was wearing. The typical guy that comes in here from California is a second-chance guy or a guy from inner-city L.A.
or Sacramento area. I’m from the suburbs. There was the word metrosexual thrown around a lot. Then, I’d get bored in meetings and I started to crochet. Then guys were like, вЂYou’re not metro, you might be a little iffy.’ They definitely thought that I was weird. I ate nine bananas a day in meetings to stay awake during two-a-days in the summer. Those things added up to me being a different quote, unquote kind of person. I didn’t listen to rap music.
Everyone else listens to rap music. From my area, we listen to local-band-type guys. I listen to hard-core punk music. Stuff with screaming. These guys were not having it. Everything I did, these guys were just laying into me. I’m a big video game nerd. I just had a lot going.
