Member Interview: MD
By Fresh1
NM Exposed: Alright, how did you come across NM and why did
you decide to stay and become an active member?
MD: Well, frankly, "i lieked nartoe," and I wanted to download free
nartoe. I was completely new to the internet at the time, anime
especially. I didn't really post actively on NM until a few months
after I joined. I started posting actively mainly because of the Lounge
It was pretty funny back then, and trolling has always been a hobby
of mine. Oh, I googled for free Naruto downloads too. That's how I
came across NM.
NM Exposed: Now you were a pretty s****y member in my eyes
when you joined. In fact, I can't even pinpoint when you started
being cool. What inspired this change?
MD: You probably needed glasses back then, in that case. But
seriously, I don't think I really changed much. I started getting used
to the forum. At first, I just trolled and flamed whoever annoyed me
(which turned out to be just about every active member, judging by
the flame pit). Eventually, I knew exactly who I liked and who I
thought were retards, so I knew exactly where to focus my flaming.
NM Exposed: Considering you were new to the internet then,
how did you find entertainment before you discovered it and
became active?
MD: Social life, though, that's become obsolete. I used to go out with
friends at least once every two days, now, due to living in the country
as opposed to the city (and the incredible difficulty of getting to the
city), I'm lucky to go out socially for more than once or twice a week.
I also enjoyed TV (f**k yeah, re-runs of old-school Cartoon Network
stuff), and my PS2.
NM Exposed: Seems like a lame change; city life is too good. So
you go to school, I am guessing? Any idea what you plan on
trying to become?
MD: Yeah, 'twas pretty lame; but meh, I got over it pretty quickly.
Yeah, I'm currently in the process of doing nothing, not attending,
and failing all my exams. Not the best of decisions, but yeah. As for
what I want to become? I've been geared towards becoming a
surgeon from the start.
NM Exposed: Do you think you may end up living with your
parents forever if you never find the motivation to care enough?
MD: No. I'll seriously just jump off a bridge if I'm still living with
my parents by the time I'm 30 (I don't want to be like Cane and
Tony). I kind of care, but waking up every morning at 6 AM... it's so
much easier to just go back to sleep
NM Exposed: Being as you don't have much of a social life, I
guess girls are out of the question currently, but do you have a
chick you’re trying to get?
MD: Not particularly. I have a few really close female friends; I
always go for a cup of coffee or a movie or something with them and
a few guys every Friday (well, every Friday that I'm not too lazy to
go to school, which has been three Fridays in the past three months),
but they're just friends. I got to sort out my shit and get back on track
academically before I even think of getting into a relationship.
Member Interview
NM Exposed: Tell me, how things are with your family though?
MD: Well, at the moment, not too good. Due to our (Ireland) government's
latest decision to cut free medical care for pensioners, my grandmother now
has to pay ridiculous sums each year for medical care. And I mean ridiculous;
she's in a really tight spot. I live with my mother at the moment. It's just me,
my mother and our two dogs. We do argue a lot, but that's mostly due to me
"wasting my potential." I have a brother, but he's a lot older than me and
moved out since long before I could remember.
NM Exposed: Is your family religious?
MD: My mother and I? Not particularly. I consider myself Christian (I've
considered atheism, and that didn't appeal to me), but I'm a pretty f***ing bad
Christian (I don't practice my religion at all). My grandmother is extremely
religious; she wanted to pray before dinner last Christmas.
NM Exposed: Does your online personality reflect your real life one at all
Like, do you randomly flame people in person who piss you off? Lol
MD: Yeah. Ireland is pretty lax when it comes to insults. There's nothing
quite like being with a group of friends and flaming the sh** out of each other
(or, as well call it, "taking the piss").
NM Exposed: Cane is Irish as well and enjoys drinking. Brags about it all
the time. Are you a stereotype of the Irish and do you get drunk everyday
MD: Cane is only really Irish in his own mind. He was born in Northern
Ireland, which is controlled by England, and anyone from the Republic would
be quick to refute his claim. But yeah, I don't drink much. I haven't been
really, really wasted since St. Patrick’s Day.
NM Exposed: You are very dedicated to your country as far as I can tell,
but do you have any plans to see some other places one day? If so name a
few.
MD: There are a few. 1) Canada. Really interesting place, I know a lot of
people who studied there for a few months. They all have nothing but good to
say about it. 2) Scotland: I have a lot of Scottish lineage. Hm... I think that's
about it. I know that about 90% of NM members would answer "Japan". To
those 90%, you're all weeaboo's and you should PM me your address's, so that
I can burn all your houses down.
NM Exposed: Lmao. Yeah, Japan is one of the more popular places, but
it’s an anime forum. What do you expect? Speaking of addresses, though,
do you have any people on NM you would meet in person if given the
chance?
MD: Hmm... Maybe LT because I want definitive evidence that he's not as
awesome and manly as he claims he is, Ravi's pretty cool and, of course, any
of NM's resident females (Sexy Latina, Nat, Arukas, etc).
NM Exposed: Well, let’s see…provided NM stays up for awhile longer,
do you see yourself being on there for a few more years if possible?
MD: Yeah, for sure. The Lounge is in desperate times; it is now more than
ever that MD must defend the empire of lulz from Patrck, zshortysmall,
Rollin' 20's, and all those other abortions.
NM Exposed: I laughed pretty hard at that, mainly because it holds some
truth. Well, in closing, do you have any idea of where you'll be in life and
such, say, in about five years?
MD: If I'm optimistic, I'll have burned and pillaged the houses of every NM
member I don't like. If I'm neutral, I'll be pretty close to getting a degree in
medicine. If I'm pessimistic, I'll be living with my parents posting on NM
24/7 and trying to convince myself that I'm still as awesome as I was five
years ago (not the ideal choice).
