My List o’ Stuff

April 28, 2008

Because Paul and Angela and other people who I’m too tired to remember have started this… list thing and I’m a lemming slash person who needs a new thing to do that is bloggy and will keep me happy…. So I’ll start off with something so freakin awesome I can never top it…

So things you don’t know about me…

  • My name’s Matt, I’m 19 (an odd age) and have been for an entire month, and I go to the University of California San Diego.
  • I only ever really wanted to go UCSD, and now I am, I think, nay, know! I made the right decision.
  • I try to live my entire life without regrets. I believe that everything I’ve done to this point has defined who I am and I can’t really change that so there’s no point in wishing I’d done something different… That said, I do try to be anormal and add one regret… So I have one regret that’s slowly becoming two…
  • I have SO much inertia it’s disgusting. Starting something is awful, but once I’ve started I find it hard to stop… This is true for TV, reading, and writing… Quality can push it in either way, though…
  • I can’t not believe in a higher power slash God like existence of somewhere, but my beliefs are far too nuanced and detailed for a small bullet point
  • I often times miss things the first time through, but then I go back and sometimes I’ll see what people see… Other times, not so much…
  • I don’t listen to people when they tell me something is good… Eventually I’ll get around to it, but rarely will I just go out and experience something new of my own accord randomly if it’s good… But if it’s bad I find myself drawn to it… It’s so weird…
  • Guilty pleasure? I freakin love Match Game… It’s vile and disgusting, but I freakin love it.
  • I do think that Joss Whedon is God. I think he came down to humor me and inspire me and speak to me as a person and one of my life goals is to have dinner with him some day…
  • I will read anything by the aforementioned Joss Whedon, Brian K. Vaughan, and Bryan Fuller.
  • I freakin love musicals, but I can’t stand most of the stuff most people I like like…
  • I find myself drawn to cult stuff as opposed to mainstream stuff.
  • I hate a great many people… The little things about them bother me… Get the little thing big enough and I won’t want anything to do with it
  • I find myself drawn to feminine types in both writing and real life
  • I can’t be gay because I hate stereotypical men way too much…
  • Even though I might not like something, that doesn’t mean I don’t see the craft in it… Take poetry: I frakkin hate poetry, but I can still see the craft in a good poem even though it’ll confuse the hell out of me and I won’t understand it
  • I censor my swear words by silencing my voice when I come to them… Or I say the word frak
  • In fact, I say the word frak a lot…
  • I freakin love television and comics and movies and the internet and modern media… There’s just something about it
  • I’m a creature of violent passion and love… Almost Hufflepuff-esque, although if I had to classify myself as a Hogwarts House it’d be Ravenclaw.
  • If I were in the Darkest Night, I’d have an Indigo ring/staff…. They haven’t said yet exactly how that works, and yet it does…
  • I hate inconsiderate people
  • For me, things have to have purpose, some sort of sense of semblance about… you know… Things that I can connect with… Art for art’s sake doesn’t really work if it doesn’t do anything…

So yeah… That’s me in a very small nutshell… Of… Yeah…
