Seven Random Facts:
  1. He loves a good party, if it's loud and wild and perfectly collides with his agenda... he's there.
  2. Grier has moved to Alaska with just his essentials: clothes, wallet (with ID, cash, debit card, etc.), his MacBook, his digital camera, 4th generation ipod, and a quilted blanket (all from favorite shirts, which were given from friendly inside jokes and a trip to Hawaii).
  3. He has a tattoo of a crown on the underside of his left forearm. He claims he got it for symbolizing his last name (which loosely translates to "lord"), rather than a "just because" sort of thing.
  4. Sometimes wears large-framed glasses but he doesn't like how he looks in them.
  5. Grier once had a cell/smart phone, but left it behind at home when he moved; he dreaded that his ex-girlfriend would call. He also finds it pointless; in Fort Rain it's hard to get good reception. He keeps in-touch via email and sometimes FaceTime. Due to his job with the local newspaper, Grier currently has his hands on a secondhand motorola RAZR phone - which works only half the time it's on.
  6. He has - in his possession - an engagement ring which was, of course, bought on an impulse.
  7. Grier tries to live life spontaneously, while he may wake up in odd places, he always finds his way back home.

History: Grier is the pride, joy and only child of Antony and Alice Cirillo. As a youngster he grew to love exploring, often hiking with his father and best friends during the summer. He enjoys traveling and has backpacked through Europe and gone on vacations in Italy, England, Hawaii and Alaska. Sometime after high school he managed to enroll into an art college but dropped out after three quarters; a few courses had him convinced that it wasn't the right thing for him. Bored of staying home and lugging his camera day-in and day-out of his cubicle where he works for the local newspaper, he decided to transfer [haphazardly and randomly] to Alaska - not to Talkeetna where his relatives are, but a small town out in the middle of nowhere.

It has been noted by his parents that their son's hasty and foolhardy ways might have been sparked when he began dating his first girlfriend in high school. After five years of dating, she moved away to attend college; she later admitted that their long distance relationship was not working a few months later, even after Grier had planned to join her within the following year. Left with no choice but to smother his dampened spirits with any means of trying to forget the past, he seeks for that certain "something" to fill the gap she had once occupied. While Alice and Antony only somewhat understand what he is going through, they've accepted his decision to move and plan to fly him back home every few months just to keep in touch and ensure that he is getting his life right on track.
