Can't Think Of An Original Name

How do you type the "o" with the two little dots over it?

[The setting is the moon. The floor is a uniform shade of gray and craters pockmark the surface. Footprints seem to be etched in stone all across the stage. Slightly to the left of center stage, an American flag is frozen in the lack of atmosphere. The beginning of Gyorgy Ligeti's Le Grand Macabre starts up in the background. As it plays, the earth begins to appear in the background, majestically floating in the air. As the music reaches it's crescendo, a bright light erupts from the earth, blinding the screen for almost a full second. When the light vanishes, so has the earth. In it's place, is a blog post. Fade to black.]

Yep! I'm back and posting again as a New Year's Resolution. I'm usually good at keeping them, so I should be here for a while. See you tomorrow.

Yay! First vacation!

Yay! Soon it's my first vacation after making this blog! Tomorrow I'm going to going up to Cape Cod for a bit. Staying with grandparents. I'll see you guys soon. I might be able to go on the internet to say something, but not as much as I have been doing. I'm sure our days will be jam packed with fun stuff to do.

I'll keep listing things until I'm listless.

More random useless information! Yay!

I live with one mom, one dad, one sister, one uncle, and one cat.

Favorite Games:

1. DROD. I've talked about it a bit, probably will talk about it more.
2. Oblivion. (PC version.) I like this game because it's so moddable! You can add tons of stuff that other people create. I'm toying with the idea of making something myself.
3. Tetris. (DS version.) Can't..... stop..... playing!!
4. Roller Coaster Tycoon. (The original one.) You just get such a feeling a satifaction when you purposely make a ride that kills people. What's even funner is once no one goes on it anymore, close it, rename and recolor it, and watch everyone go on it again!
5. Final Fantasy Six. I sometimes play this game to listen to the music!

Places I'd like to visit:

1. Egypt. To see all the pyramids and such.
2. Sandusky, Ohio. To ride all the rollercoasters.
3. California. But since E3 is gone I don't have anywhere to go!
4. Shigeru Miyamoto's House. A guy can dream right?
5. New Zealand. That way my sister will stop talking about it.

Things I DON'T Like:

1. People who don't care about spelling or grammar online. This includes people who use "leet speak." Can't you guys even try?
2. Cheaters and Unfairness. Board games, Ball games, video games, other games. It doesn't matter, I hate when people cheat.
3. Rabids Fans. People who only like one thing, be it authors, movies, games, people, and hate anyone else who doesn't.

Coming soon to a blog very near this one: MORE LISTS! YAY!!!

Let's see how long this lasts.

Welcome to the wonderful exciting realm of my blog! Yay! Woohoo! Yippe! Wowzers! Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! Blarghidy! Do a barrel roll!

I wonder how many people start off their first post with that. It would be boring to research, but I'd be interested to know the results. Well, I should list some stuff for the people that will never actually look at this.

Hi! I'm me, Ezlo, otherwise known as Matt C. I'm a sixteen-year-old male who is currently being homeschooled. My interests:

1. Console Gaming.
2. Think up stories in my head that never get written down.
3. Playing DROD on my computer.
4. Passive religious debate.
5. Collecting Remixs of Instrumental Video-Game music.

A couple of short and long term goals:

1. Really learn my grammar and spelling so I don't sound like an idiot online.
2. Learn a foriegn langauge and/or a programming language.
3. Start some sort of webcomic with my sister.
4. Finish my epic-sized level set for the DROD forums.
5. Find some way to get all of these stories out of my head and into something tangible.

A few websites I enjoy and visit frequently:

1. www.caravelgames.com The website for DROD, a puzzle game disguised as an action game. One of the best indie games ever. Plus the development team there is really nice and will actually talk to you, unlike others I know of.
2. www.irregularwebcomic.net A really regular updating webcomic featuring the author, several of his D&D figurines and a ton of legos. Over 1,300 comics so far and counting. This guy even managed to get Jane Goodall in his comic once! Talk about impressive!
3. www.ocremix.org Tons of good music here. All high quality. To get an idea of what music I like, look for "Dancing Maddly", "Pirates of Dragon Roost" and "All the World in One Girl."

Enough for now, maybe more stuff later.
