Who was @mattfreaksmeout in high school?

 

This is so cruel, but it's actually not that hard for me. I'd go with fun. and the reason is that I'm satisfied with MCS's career. They have 6 albums which I hold very dear, I got to see them like 12 or 13 times from 2010-2016, and I was at their final two shows (and knew it was their final shows while I was there) so I have closure with them. I saw them perform one of my favorite albums of all time (CTTM) front to back multiple times, and I got a whopping 36 song setlist to go out on. Their last album feels like a conclusion, and it was unfortunately clear that they were on a downward trajectory, so I'm glad they went out with a final bang instead of continuing to play to dwindling crowds because they deserve better than that. To be honest few bands wrap things up quite as beautifully as they did, and I feel so lucky that they did it that way.

fun. was just done out of nowhere. I was actively anticipating a 3rd album, which they had even played a song from. I was so excited to see where they went next, and I was so proud of how far they'd come. They were in their prime and playing amphitheaters. The last time I saw them was at the Taste of Chicago so it was a short set with people who weren't that into it and just no where near the magic that I usually felt from their shows.

 

I imagine him as @dylan

 

Speech team nerd, drama kid, Valedictorian, kind of could hang with one section of the popular kids during school hours, but mostly just hung out with my normal group of friends.

Rock purist, Craig Owens disciple, "rap is crap", X band sold out, people need to listen to realll music like Forever the Sickest Kids and Chiodos.

Ridiculous hair. Absolutely ridiculous Here's a semi decent picture of it (just imagine that when it gets longer, that curl gets even more pronounced and just became one long curl bordering my entire face):

 

I'm ok with that.

 

Probably. Is it a funny color?

Hmm idk @Kingjohn_654

I'm an absolutepunk.net crossover, but I didn't post a ton back then. I do remember debating like Say Anything Hebrews on there though, so maybe I was around longer than I remember (or I just remember reading the comments). I truly have no idea how I found that site though. Probably some song that premiered on it would be my guess.

Uh... idk there's a lot probably. From people on this site, probably like I still have a pretty shameful attachment to Chiodos/Drugs/fuck boi Craig Owens (which I feel guilt about cus I know there are some rumblings that he's probably a not great dude, but it's hard for me to cut ties with nothing specific). Miley Cyrus also. I'm a big Miley guy. Bangerz is a timeless album, and I honestly loved Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz. Katy Perry too. I would say Lady Gaga but idk if that's really frowned upon or not. I love all the basic pop queens really.

It's not bad, but I wish it was better. I blame myself for it to be honest. I'm like a halfway closeted gay kid (or adult at this point woops) and that definitely strains the relationship on my end since I know I'm hiding something but he doesn't. I've also been very stressed lately and cus I live with my parents it's made me kind of closed off at home. I get irritated quickly. It's definitely not hostile or anything, but I just have trouble connecting. Did I overshare? I hope I didn't overshare.

 

wtf

 

Don’t be a dick, dude. Not cool.

 

Flattered. Unless 'biggest daddy' is a fat joke.

 

No way!

 

This is your ama, not mine. Ask me Wednesday

 

Fair enough!

 

haha throw me on the schedule

 

@mattfreaksmeout Please see below

 

@mattfreaksmeout

What is your favorite flavor of Skittles?

 

Again, I must insist that in a multiverse theory, the existence of the turkey is a fixed concept. While certain attributes of turkeys, our relationship to them, or even their existence in the year 2018 may be up for debate, they must exist at some point in the course of the evolution of life on planet Earth. Unfortunately, we will never know a truly turkey-less world and I'm afraid I cannot be persuaded otherwise on this point.

 

Rainbow.

I eat them all together because that's the point right?

Now Starbursts? Yellow>Red>Orange>>>>Pink

 

have you tried the new Sweet Heat ones? i just tried them this morning. they're interesting and pretty good, haha.

 

Where did ya get these?

 

Oh did you mean like type of Skittles? I thought you meant like red, green, yellow, orange, or purple. If we are talking about this kind of thing, I'm really partial to the berry flavored ones (the purple bag). There's also a 4th of July mix that is pretty good I gotta say. I have tried the sweet heat actually. They're interesting, and maybe even good, but I can only have a couple at a time.

 

i found them at 7-11

 

the purple bag is my favorite too!

e-high five!

 

@mattfreaksmeout you seem to go to a lot of big concerts, do you budget money out for them and what's your favorite recent one?

 

His name's not Wednesday, it's Matt.

 

I have a decent paying full time job and I still live with my parents, which frees up a lot of money for frivolous spending (even though I should probably be saving more of it), so I'm lucky in that respect. I'm hoping to move back downtown pretty soon, but then that will put a real damper on the big concerts. My favorite big concert recently was probably Lana Del Rey in January (if we are talking arena big). Tyler the Creator and Vince Staples was also awesome, but that was still what I'd consider mid-sized. I'm really really excited for Lorde later this month as well.
