Matt's Story

School Four thousand characters for a life story? Well, maybe not a life story, but a school life story's about the best I can manage I guess. I tend to be long-winded so I dunno if I'll be able to fit it all in here, but let's see what happens and see if it works. Anyhow, like anyone and everyone bound to be readin this profile (assuming more than two actually look at this thing), I'm a South Pas Tiger and reasonably proud of it. Hell, I'm damn proud of it. Back in school I'd never have admitted it of course, I had that whole blending-into-the-background thing down to a science (really, I will give $5 to whoever actually recognizes me (well, ok, not really five dollars, I'm working and going to school and neither bodes well for keeping money in my pocket)), and gratuitous parentheses aside I'll admit that I had a blast. Really, I did, I didn't think I did, but I did. It's one of those things that takes a lot of looking back, ya know? Seriously, I would've sworn up and down at the time that high school was one of the most miserable times of my life and I was thankful to be out of the hellhole. Yeah, why does it always take looking back to know you were wrong? I mean, high school was great, good times, good company (even if I didn't know it), good crushes (of which I probably had too many), and memories... well, I don't know if all the memories were good, but they made things interesting to say the least. A crush I had since elementary school that I never got out, yeah, that don't count among the more pleasant memories (a certain Miss Caitlin Marie Bryant for the curious, though I'm sure I'm not the only one), but it was a good learning experience at the very least. Dancing in front...Expand for more
of five hundred people in nothing but an oversized shirt, socks, sunglasses and boxers a la Risky Business, definitely the highlight of my high school career. Teachers like Mrs. Luce, Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Waight who made my life that much more entertaining. Playing miniature golf at three in the morning while watching jackrabbits run all around the desert course during grad night, surreal but awesome. I wouldn't have traded it for anything in the world. Well, ok, maybe I'd trade it for a brand new chainsaw and hockey mask, but that's an if and only if. Wait, no, chainsaw, hockey mask, and an autograph from Mr. T. That'd be worth trading it. P.S. Just kidding, it was awesome. Though if anyone knows how one could procure a genuine Mr. T. autograph that doesn't require selling one's soul or kidney, gimme a holler. College All right, college isn't that impressive as of yet, but it's still got room to become impressive should I ever figure out what the word impressive means and know how to use it properly in a sentence rather than just saying it repeatedly because it's a three syllable word and I like to say words with a lot of syllables so I sound smart and like I'm a real college person. Wow that was an impressive run-on sentence, my apologies to all my previous English teachers, please don't hurt me for breaking the rules. That being said and done, where the heck am I now? I'm currently attending the illustrious Pasadena City College, majoring in psychology of all things. So it's local tradition to go to PCC, but I can still wear it as a badge of pride. Yeah, it's only a community college, but the word COLLEGE is still in there, so that has to count for something, right?
