Interview #7: Mattitude in the Hot Seat!!

[Mattitude]

Harm's Way asked:

when did you have your first kiss?

My first real kiss was when I was in 8th grade and was over at a friend's place, and nobody else was home. We were watching Full House (gee, imagine that) and she was sitting in my lap and then it just kinda...happened. Nothing beyond that ever happened between us, though.

do you have a catchphrase?

Y'know, this is kinda one of those things where I KNOW there are things I say all the time, but since I've been asked then I just can't seem to think of any to save my life! Next time I hear myself say one, though, I'll make sure I mention it here.

what's the last thing on your mind at night?

Usually if something really great happened to me that day, then that's the thing I'm thinking about as I fall asleep. On the other side of the coin, if something really AWFUL is happening the next day, then I wind up dreading that.

gerry asked:

What era do you think was America's Golden Age? why?

I think I'd have to go with the 1950s. They were such an innocent time, and whenever I think of the epitomy of what's American, things from the 50s always enter my mind. I also think that was the earliest time when American sort of really 'modernized'. Anything from before that is hard for us to identify with now, but you can still see things from the 50s and sort of identify with it and be able to compare your life with it.

If you could delete the worst day of your life at the cost of the best day of your life, would you make the sacrifice?

Wow, what a really great question!! Actually, I think it all depends on what the specifics were. For instance...if the worst day of my life was something that had ended up ruining the entire rest of my life, then I would probably want to erase that day in order to save myself from being miserable forever. However, if the absolute best day of my life was what got me where I was in the first place, then...I dunno. Let's just say that unless it was something EARTH shattering, then I probably wouldn't erase it. I would rather still be able to look back on the best day of my life than to have never had it at all.

But depending just how bad the worst day was...then yeah, I think I'd consider it.

ajmets asked:

NOTHING!! Come on, AJ, I know you can do better than that!

-Have you ever bitten someone?

I'm VERY curious about the answer

ok, my question:
whats your favorite kind of sports
1) to watch
2) to play

[Mattitude]

willowswarlok asked:

-on a scale of one to ten, what would you rate the most popular buffyverse members in terms of HOTNESS! You can rate guys and girls!

Well, what do you mean the most popular? And I'm kinda confused...'buffyverse' makes me think you're talking about the casts of both shows, but 'members' makes me think that you mean the people here at BtVSFigs. Just clear that up a little bit for me and I'll make sure you get the answer you're looking for!

-What is the best compliment you have ever recieved?

Wow! Well, first of all...ANY compliment is a good compliment, as far as I'm concerned. *Hint* LMAO! But no, seriously, let's see. I don't necessarily remember one particular compliment that sticks out in my mind, but I remember types of compliments. To me, the BEST compliment is one that you can just tell a person really, really means. No matter what it is, it just leaves me feeling good for the rest of the day.

-What is the longest crush/relationship you have had?

The longest relationship I've ever had is the one I'm in right now. We've been together a little over two years! Before that, I hadn't been with anybody longer than a couple of months at a time. It was usually pretty easy for me to wind up getting bored with somebody...until I met my girl, that is!

-What is your first thought when waking up in the morning?

"Why didn't I go to bed earlier last night?"

-Do you think you're attractive?

Well, let's see. Obviously I know I'm no model, but I don't really think I'm unattractive either. I've been told that I'm fairly attractive, so I guess I believe that. I do believe that I'm a lot better looking in person than in photos.

-What stereotype would you label yourself as being?

Just a typical, preppy white boy, I guess. There are many parts to me, but that is what people usually assume I am until they get to know me. Afterwards, they still think I am, but at least they learn that I'm anything BUT typical in many ways!

-If you could change anything about yourself, what would you change?

Well, some people consider this to be a good thing, but I think it would have to be my strong opinions on nearly every subject. Once I have a stance on something, I firmly believe in that, and I'm willing to speak out and fight for it until the very end. It's a quality that has given me grief many times in my life, and I'm sure it will happen many more times as well. Some people like it, some people don't, but that's just the way it is.

-Would you ever lie to someone to make them feel good about themselves?

I have, and would again, as long as it's a little white lie. If it's not going to hurt anything, I usually gladly lie to someone just to make them feel good and to make their day a little happier. I hate rudeness, even if it's the truth, and if I think someone is a nice person then I'm willing to sugar coat the truth a lot more than I am if I find someone is consistently rude, irritable or just plain mean.

-Have you ever bitten someone?

...well...not in the case of trying to cause HARM, no. Let's just put it that way.

Shivi asked:

whats your favorite kind of sports
1) to watch

Well, I have to say wrestling on this one!! But since I know some people are kinda funny about that, I'll name one that people would consider a "real" sport and say boxing. I'm into the really physical ones, for some reason.

2) to play

Actually, I've never really been very great at sports! My hand/eye coordination when it comes to catching balls just isn't up to par. But if I play football, as long as I don't have to be responsible for catching the ball, I can tackle like there's no tomorrow.

[willowswarlok]

great answers Matt, in my first question, i ment Buffy stars as in buffy etc not BtVSfigs members lol
wayne

[mothperson]

Mathy - order a pizza. What's on it, and is it thick or thin crust?

What's your guess on the make-up of choice those poor wrestlers use to hide their bruises? Those chairs have got to hurt.

When are you going to see the Thorne Rooms?

North Carolina is known to have Sasquatch things hanging around during UFO sightings. If you were to see a UFO and a Sasquatch at the same time, who would you call? The local police, the state police, the FBI, or the CIA? And what would you say?

What's your favorite vampire movie?

What's your favorite insect?

What's your favorite I Love Lucy episode?

If you could play any musical instrument, what would it be?

[Mattitude]

k Wayne, well then, how about I do every character that's been in the main credits on both shows? I think that sounds like a good deal!

Buffy--8
Willow--7 (later seasons)
Xander--7 (early seasons); 5 (later seasons)
Dawn--8 (season 7, of course. She was just a kid before that!)
Spike--8.5
Anya--8
Riley--9
Tara--5 (*avoids flying objects thrown by Sammie*)
Giles--7 (I'm not into old guys, but I can admit that he's not unattractive...if you're into that sort of thing.)
Angel--10!
Cordelia--10!!
Fred--8 (later seasons)
Wesley--7.5
Connor--4
Gunn--7
Lorne--...I'm not into green skin.

Mothy Louiiiiiiiiiiiise asked!:

Mathy - order a pizza. What's on it, and is it thick or thin crust?

Sausage and mushrooms, most definitely. Thick or thin crust depends on my mood, but I like them both equally. But if I had to pick RIGHT now...I'd say thin crust.

What's your guess on the make-up of choice those poor wrestlers use to hide their bruises? Those chairs have got to hurt.

You know what, I really don't even know. I know sometimes after someone has really put their body through hell a few nights before, sometimes you can still really see it on them next time they come out. But my guess is just that after you've been in the business so long, you know the game and you know the best ways to go about doing something while making the least impact on your body.

I dunno if anyone ever watched Tough Enough on TV, but it basically took contestants and tried to teach them how to be a professional wrestler. I know that when it was time to 'learn how to fall' properly while doing the least damage to your body, people were absolutely miserable because you just take impact upon impact on your body. Even if you've done it for 20 years, everytime won't always go exactly right, and it's just the price you pay for living your dream.

When are you going to see the Thorne Rooms?

...what the HELL is that?! Lmfao

North Carolina is known to have Sasquatch things hanging around during UFO sightings. If you were to see a UFO and a Sasquatch at the same time, who would you call? The local police, the state police, the FBI, or the CIA? And what would you say?

I think I'd have to call a little friend that I know you're all familiar with; his name is Jack Daniels.

What's your favorite vampire movie?

Actually, even though I'm a Buffy and Angel fan, I really don't get into vampire stuff too much. I guess though that I'd probably say The Lost Boys. Either that, or this one vampire movie I saw a couple of years ago that had Jon Bon Jovi in it, just because I could think of far worse fates than staring at him for an hour and a half.

What's your favorite insect?

I really don't have one. I hate them all! But, if I HAVE to pick...then I'll say bees, because they look kinda cool as long as I don't have to associate or hang out with them.

What's your favorite I Love Lucy episode?

This is so stereotypical and it's the one everybody loves, but I just have to say the one where she's in the candy factory!! It cracks me up every single time when I watch her stuffing the chocolates into her mouth and into her hat.

If you could play any musical instrument, what would it be?

I'd definitely love to be able to play the guitar. I don't have even the slightest clue how to play ANY musical instruments, though.

[Mattitude]

For something completely different...

I know that there are some people who are a bit curious about learning about wrestling and what it is that really appeals to me. So, I thought it'd be fun to share something with you guys! This is one of my absolute FAVORITE matches in recent memory, because I just love both of the competitors. Here it is...from WrestleMania 22...

Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James for the Women's Championship!

[shivi1978]

is it true that all wrestling matches are fakes ?
and if so, why do you love them although ?

[Mattitude]

willowswarlok asked:

Have you ever cried during a movie?

Actually, I'm a REALLY big softie, and if something emotionally moves me then I do come pretty close to crying. I don't recall any movies that actually did make me cry (King Kong actually almost did, because I hated seeing what they did to an animal like that) but I was definitely a wreck during the Smallville episode where Lana died (luckily that didn't last) and then Jonathan wound up dying. I didn't like that at all. Some people would find this boring, but I wouldn't mind at all if EVERYTHING always had a happy ending, forever and ever and ever.

When was the last time you cried?

Probably when I saw that episode.

What's the farthest you've ever gone on a dare?

Let's see. I dunno if this is the most extreme one or not, but this is a dare that I'll never forget. We were drinking, and there was tequila and I was bragging about how much I could drink and all that without getting drunk, so I got dared to take shots and...eventually, after I had done like 12 shots in 20 minutes, I got very drunk VERY fast and wound up sick off of my ass all night and all day the next day.

As a matter of fact, not only do I still get sick at the smell of tequila to this day, but I even get sick at the sight of a shot glass now.

Is there anything that you have done that you regret?

Usually, after I have a big fight with someone, I wind up regretting it a couple of hours later. I have a pretty big temper at times, and sometimes it gets the best of me and I really wish it didn't. I always feel horrible afterwards...but only if I feel afterwards like it was somebody who didn't really deserve it.

Who would you want to be tied to for 24hours?

I think I could stand to be tied to my girlfriend (or fiancee) for 24 hours. The reason I always call her my girlfriend is because for some reason, I've never liked the words fiancee/fiance and I think girlfriend just sounds so much cuter. Don't ask me why.

If you could change your name, what would you change it to?

Mickey James, so I could be named the male version of...somebody who I'm sure you guys have NEVER heard me mention before. LMAO! But nah, in all seriousness...I dunno. I guess I really couldn't imagine being named anything different than I am now.

I guess I could legally change my name to The Second Evil, after one of the AWESOMEST people this side of AWESOME!! Can you imagine somebody naming their kid that? "The Second Evil, it's time for dinner!! The Second Evil, clean up your toys! The Second Evil, be nice to your sister!!"

What's the meanest thing you've ever done to someone?

Well, when I was in 7th grade, there was this one kid who got picked on all the time. I know that it wasn't right, but I did it too, and one time when he was going to sit in his chair I pulled it out before he did and he wound up falling on his ass on the floor.

Not only that, but he was a bit...well...portly, and when he hit the floor, he rolled around for a little bit and I laughed at him.

Yeah, I feel pretty bad about that now and wish I hadn't, but...you can't change the past! So I try not to dwell on it too much.

Have you ever laughed so hard you peed in your pants? lol

NEVER!! And I don't plan to, either, if I can help it!

Do you prefer boxers or briefs?

I prefer briefs, but wait! Before you JUMP to conclusions, don't be thinking of the gross old grandpa kind with the stripes in the waistband!! It's not like that at all.

I'm talking about ones from AE or A&F or really anything similar. I just don't enjoy boxers because...well, I don't know if I can even talk about this on a family forum!! Oh well, if people are reading my Hot Seat, then they should know what to expect from me by now.

I just don't find that boxers give the proper "containment" that a pair of underwear should...OKAY?! YOU BEAT IT OUT OF ME!!

Do you have any hidden talents?

I can stand on my head and drink a glass of water while juggling a set of flaming chainsaws, yes.

Do you prefer talking on the phone or online?

I much prefer talking on the phone, because I always have a LOT to say and it's much easier to say it with my own mouth than to type it out and then hope the other person doesn't interrupt me or shift the conversation before I'm done talking.

Do you like to party?

I love it!! I love the way the energy feels at a good party. My favorite thing in life is to have fun, and what better way to do it than this?

Does anyone give you butterflies whenever you see them?

My gir...FIANCEE. Dang!!

shivi asked:

is it true that all wrestling matches are fakes ?

Well, as far as the actual matches go...yeah, the outcomes are all pre-determined and have an affect on the overall storyline and how things go. The wrestlers in reality are working together instead of actually against eachother, in order to put on an exciting match for their fans. It takes a lot more talent to do this though than people realize.

Although they're working to use the least impact and to try and create the smallest chance of injury possible, your body is constantly on the line doing things like that and the impacts they take and things they can do are just so amazing to me. It's definitely a skill that only a certain type of person can possess. It's one of those things where either you have it in you or you don't.

and if so, why do you love them although ?

Well, why do you watch Buffy even though it's not real?

[The Second Evil]

Do you, or have you, ever kept a diary or journal?
What was the last song you were listening to?
Day or Night?
Green or Blue?
Favourite MJ song!?
Can you sing?
Can you make graphics?
Do you have a middle name?

I felt like going for the random quick-fire questions

[Mattitude]

The Second Evil asked:

Do you, or have you, ever kept a diary or journal?

I've tried a couple of times, but I dunno, I just don't have the patience for that. I always lived by this phrase: "Anything I ever need to say, I just SAY it! I don't need to write it down in anything!" I dunno why, I'm just not a big fan of sitting down and writing something...unless I know it's going to be read by other people, of course.

What was the last song you were listening to?

John Cena--"The Time is Now"

Day or Night?

DANG, have you not even been reading my heartfelt answers here?! I already did this one!!

Aaaaaanywaaaaaay... I picked 'day' then, and I'm picking it now, too.

Green or Blue?

Blue for sure.

Favourite MJ song!?

BILLIE JEAAAAAN IS NOT MY LOVER...SHE'S JUST A GIRL WHO CLAIMS THAT IIIIIIII AM THE ONE...BUT! THE KIIIIID IS NOT MY SON...HEE HEE HEE...WOOOOOOO!

Can you sing?

Can I? No. Do I? Hell yes!!

Can you make graphics?

Well my finger paintings used to be prominently displayed on the refrigerator when I was a small child. I think that counts!!

Do you have a middle name?

Yes. It's Sudaflaveegenweevenleevin.

Hehe. Sorry Matt, I must admit, I'm not at my most coherent tonight

Visualise an zombie-style animated corpse, swaying from side to side in front of a computer screen, slowly falling asleep. That's kinda what I look like right now .

Did you feel your "head moderator poll" was out of line?

[Girl Power]

Oh man, Dave, you're treading on thin ice.

Matt, what do you believe the meaning of life is? Do you think there is a bigger purpose and intelligence behind existence, or not? How do you try to integrate your beliefs into the way you life your daily life?

[Sammie]

Wow, lots of questions since i last checked this topic!

What's the worst movie you have ever seen?

Do you use the "quick reply" box?

Who do you think is the most overrated celeb and why?

Did you like Napoleon Dynamite?

Well, you're not the only one "dying" to do something here!!



I'll get to the other questions shortly!! ^_^
