#1 01) What is your REAL name? Matt Turpin 02) What are your nicknames(online and offline)? Online: Matt and I suppose Garland since I use the name in so many places. Offline: Matt and Matty (only if you're an Australian girl) 03) What is your Birthday and current Age? December 20, 1978 and I'm 24 years old 04) Where do you currently live(City, State/Country)? Plainfield, Connecticut, USA 05) What is your height and weight(weight is optional for those of you who do not wish to disclose this information)? I'm 5 feet 11 inches, and I have no idea what that equates to in meters, and have no desire to get a conversion chart. I weigh 130 LBS, and you metric folks are out of luck again. 06) What color are your eyes and your hair? Brown and Brown 07) What is your favorite color? Green 08) What is your favorite food or meal? Cinnamon buns and Coffee 09) What are your hobbies and/or interests? reading, writing, videogames, playing the piano, and movies 10) Do you have any brothers and sisters? If yes then how old are they? One sister three years younger than myself 11) What is your current occupation(student is an occupation)? Greyhound park racing official, and trying to get into a Master's degree program somewhere for history 12) What are your favorite type of clothing to wear? jeans, a polo shirt, and brown work boots 13) What is your favorite style of music to listen to(the general style and specific style if you can)? Any of the Final Fantasy orchestrated CD's (Pray, Love Will Grow, Black Mages, Generation N, Celtic Moon, ETC) 14) What is your favorite band/group/singer? Risa Okri, though I spelled her name wrong most likely - she sang Pray and Love Will Grow (see above) 15) How many languages do you speak and what are they? English and mediocre French (early college level). I'm trying to teach myself Latin, but can only learn to write it. 16) Have you ever met anyone from the internet? If yes what was it like? Yes, and she made a brief appearance here afterwards as "Garland's Girl". It was pretty fun. This summer from August 15 to October 5 I'm visiting her in the UK. I'll be in the Northampton area. 17) If you could describe yourself in just two words what would they be and why? Average and dissatisfied. I'm so average in every way (solid B grade student all through school, passable in lots of things, but standout in none) I've been described as the most average looking joe people have ever seen. At first I thought this a good thing, since if I'm average, half the world is dumber than I am. Still, I'm dissatisfied at not excelling at anything. 18) If you could be anywhere in this world/universe/andother dimensional plane of existence...where would you want to be and why? Probably Medieval Europe, just out of incredible interest. Lots of people fantasize about being a brave knight at some point - I suppose I aught to grow up. 19) What do you want to do or be when you grow up...or if you are grown up then what do you wish you could be or do? I hope to teach Medieval History (mostly the Crusades) as a professor at a university 20) What is the one thing on this planet that makes you happier than ANYTHING else? Those rare (rare being an understatement) times when I have a gf (or think I will shortly, as is the more common situation). Also when I actually see a project through to completion, since my life is full of big ideas and good starts that fizzle out halfway through. 21) What do you most desire to do at least once in your life time? At the moment, get into grad school and eventually get a professorship, so that the money my parents put towards my 5 years of college already weren't wasted. I don't want to be a failure. 22) If you can have any one thing in life this very instant what would it be? A castle for a home, I suppose. I plan on having a small one built eventually - but we'll see what happens. 23) Have you ever been in love with someone or had a crush on a person? If so then who(if you feel uncomfortable saying who don't worry about it)? Yeah, and more times than I've had a gf. I don't really want to list all the names though - it's a sizable list, and still growing. 24) What is the happiest moment of your life to this point? When I finally saved the $4,000 dollars for my trip to England for 7 weeks by working 60 hours a week (seven days, 8-13 hours a day) at minimum wage (6.90 an hour) for several months. It's the first time I really worked hard and saw something through to completion, and in a few weeks I'll reap my rewards. 25) What do you think others think of you? I hope they like me, but I know most people at least don't dislike me. At worst they don't care, and I can live with that. 26) What do you feel your best trait is? Modesty (some call it self-deprecating humor, but I'm also trying to be more of an optimist) 27) What do you think your worst trait is? Being such a pessimist to the point of harsh cynicism. My mouth gets me into a lot of sticky situations, not for being rude, but for saying something so bluntly true that it cuts with sarcasm. 28) Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now? Working towards a degree 29) Where do you WANT to be in 5 years from now? Teaching 30) What is your favorite type of movie to watch? Epic films like Braveheart, Gladiator, Lord of the Rings and Seven Samurai 31) What is your favorite movie? Lord of the Rings - Two Towers 32) What is your favorite television show? The Daily Show 33) What is your favorite Final Fantasy game? FF1 34) What is your favorite game? Elder Scrolls III The Morrowind, with Tribunal, Bloodmoon and all the Bethesda official mods. 35) How did you find Eyes on Final Fantasy? I had been clicking the forum link at Final Fantasy Classic and browsing the FF1 forums for months, and finally decided to join. 36) Why do continue to come here to Eyes on Final Fantasy? It's the largest congregation of people alot like myself (no offense) that I know of 37) What is your favorite feature that Eyes on Final Fantasy has? A semblance of order. Things aren't allowed to get out of control, and since I don't cause trouble, I like that noone else does either. 38) What is your favorite forum here at Eyes on Final Fantasy? Eyes on Each Other - it's where all the good conversation is. 39) The ever so thriving question that just begs to be answered...Soda or Pop? Soda. Anyone who is right agrees with me. The only people who say Pop are the ones who are wrong. 40) Is there anything else that you would like to add? Thanks for reading this. I hope it was interesting. |
