Matt Seaver

BY BEN GREGSON

Name/ grade/ school? Matt Seaver/ 10th grade/ James Monroe High School

You're writing something down with your right hand--what are you doing with your left? Scratching my head, possibly.

When reaching blindly into a box, what do you hope to find? Money.

What's the craziest thing you've wanted to be in your lifetime? Well, at one point I wanted to be an astronaut. Wait, that's not right--I wanted to be a dragon slayer.

If you could spend a day in one cartoon show, which one would it be and why? Probably "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy," because everyone wanted to steal the scythe. You know you wanted to steal the scythe.

Would you ever dress up as if you were from the '80s? What would you wear, and why? Yes, I would probably dress up like the guy in "American Psycho," because I like obscure literary references.

If you were in "The Wizard of Oz" what role would you play? I would be the Cowardly Lion, the useless wretch whose problems all exist only in his own mind.

What color car would you never have? There's a whole range. Pink is first on the list, followed by orange. White is probably third; dull red, fourth.

When was the last time you wore a bow tie? Where were you? A year ago or more. I was performing at a youth chorale concert in town.

Ben Gregson is a sophomore at James Monroe High School.
