Comfort activity: Alfie has always had a strong appreciation for music, and when it comes to comfort it's the first thing he'll turn to. He'll often listen to songs, and not sing along to them, but lip-sync to them. His music taste revolves mainly around alternative, rock, and metal music, so he can often be found violently lip-syncing to songs to release his anger, sadness, and frustration. Though it is his comfort activity, Alfie does find his need to animatedly lip-sync to songs to be embarrassing and will lock himself in his room to do it. After the first time one of his friends walked in on him wildly running around his room lip-syncing to Linkin Park he learned his lesson.
The main reason Alfie lip-syncs to songs and doesn't sing to them is because he and his roommate have already established that out of the two of them he is the one with
no little vocal talent. Despite this, Alfie still likes the thought of being able to sing well enough to be the lead vocals in a band, so what better to do than pretend like he can? Listening to intense, emotion-filled music and lip-syncing (and, inevitably, dancing) along to it makes adrenaline course through him. He finds that the intensity of such an activity is way more productive than physically damaging anything to expel any anger or the like that he's feeling.
Alfie doesn't lip-sync only when he's dealing with negative emotions though, far from it actually. He'll turn to it when he's happy or excited as well! He can't count the amount of times he's thrown on his headphones, turned on a really high-energy, upbeat song and just lip-synced and danced around his room like an idiot. It's as if as soon as his headphones are on and music is blaring from them that the real world around him disappears, and he really is up on stage as the beloved lead singer of a band singing to his fans. Because admit it, who hasn't wanted to be a rock star at one point or another in their lives?
