Matt Smith is a suspiciously plain-sounding name!

Yeah, I presume I should get around to using these 102 userpics, and this is the most amusing Doctor Who icon I have onhand so...

I saw that "New Doctor Bingo" thing before I found out about this; in fait accompli the only reason I found out was because I suddenly noticed a new section on the Doctor Who Image Archive. And by god, he really does look like a sparkly vampire. Might be the out of control airbrushing though, feh.

But I mean, hopefully he's not gonna look like this for the show, right? He's not gonna be the Doctor for a year so unquestionably they haven't settled upon his final look, right? [info]jaclynhyde noted there was a square for "He doesn't look enough like Tennant", but none for "He looks too much like Tennant". Because yeah, another immature guy, wearing Nine's sweater and Ten's suit jacket, but in black? Playing it a little too safe, methinks. C'mon, where's the Doctor's old work habits? Two incarnations is enough of a slump. Bring back his anachronistic aristocracy! His awesomely eccentric accessorizing! No, Chuck Taylor Parley All-Stars are not eccentric. Not in first decade of this millennium.

Seriously, this photo looks like a Photoshopped morph of Tennant and Eccleston! Gah! And I do kinda evade the older Doctors... Wouldn't have to be Pertwee or Hartnell's age, middle-aged is fine...

But looks can metamorphose. And age really doesn't matter. As for what kind of actor he is? Hell, I don't know. I don't really follow actors - people apt at a movie and say "Hey, there's Suchnblah! He was in Titleofotherfilm!" and I'm like, "Bwuh?" Anyway, it's not like they've gone wrong picking one yet though, so I'll figure out if I like him or not when I see the eleventh Doctor in manners.

Of course, I think the ideal candidate for the role would be me, a young not-overly-attractive...

What is your current quiver?
My quiver ranges from a 5′6” Eaton bonzer all the way up to a 10′4” big quiver gun shaped by Steve Colleta.  My short boards are usually around 6′4” and I have plenty of boards from retro shapes, to longboards, inbetweeners, one fins, twinny’s, twinzers, and thrusters. I’m open to almost anything.  I’ve recently grown an interest for the rigid Alia’s that Rob Machado and others alike have been playing with.

What is your favorite food?
I can eat like a horse, but I try to be aware of what types of things I eat.  Almost always, I eat at home and find myself cooking chicken and veggies, pasta, rice with tofu, and salads on certain occasion. Sometimes I’ll communicate a big old fashion breakfast with potatoes, eggs, bacon, toast, or pancakes but usually I will eat oatmeal with some fruits and nuts or cereal. Wow, this is making me insatiable!

What is your favorite music?
I listen to a bit of everything these days and have this weird obsession with English rock bands from the 1980’s.  Such bands like New Statute, The Smiths, Joy Division, Tears For Fears, and The Police.  My dad’s from England so we used to rock all those cassettes when we’d do method trips and stuff like that.
