Each week Intel will search out and interview that guy or girl you’ve seen around campus or at a party that you’ve always wanted to talk to. This week, SESP senior Austin Perry talks to Intel about getting it on to whale mating calls and his freakishly small hands. Check out his responses to our questions, after the jump.
Senior | Off campus | SESP
What do you go downtown for?
Good food. Food that’s available after 8 p.m.
Who is your mortal enemy?
This dude fom 4th grade who was a big bully. When I go to the boxing gym I pretend he’s the punching bag.
What tops your hook up playlist?
Whale mating calls.
What’s your greatest irrational fear?
I have really small hands, like freakishly small. What if they don’t make mens wedding rings in my size? What if I’m incredibly lonely cause of that?
What’s the one place besides your room you go to be alone?
The Chicken Bar.
If you could room with any fictional character, who would it be?
Moby Dick. I would feel better about my body type. He’d also provide the soundtrack if I ever brought a lady friend home.
What do you read for pleasure?
Usually text messages. I’m really in to political cartoons too, they’re relaxing and a great source of news.
What is the Tea Party?
It’s my mother, my grandma. Folks you would generally find adorable.
What’s your deal breaker?
Not talking. I tried dating a mime once, it was no good.
You meet someone for the first time. What’s the first thing he/she can say/do to impress you?
If they make me feel stupid, I respect that. And it happens all too often. That’s why I respect a lot of people.
What’s your pet peeve?
It only happened once, but all my furniture got moved two stories down as a prank.
Who headlines your dream Dillo day?
A zombie version of Notorious B.I.G.
If you could change one thing you did in the past year, what would it be?
One time I was dancing at a party and tried to do a flip over a couch and landed on my foot. I may have broken it but didn’t go to the hospital, and it’s been hurting a lot for a year now.
Oh my god. OK, I’ve seen you around campus but was always too nervous to say anything, but once I heard your answer about the whale mating calls I loled so hard I just had to say something!… You’re a weirdo. Bye.
OMG I was so nervous to talk to him at this party last week. Then he played ukalela (sp?) I was soooo into it.
I have worked with Austin Perry and I have put on makeup in front of Austin Perry and I have made Austin Perry carry a large mattress into my home and I am still respectful of Austin after the ugly “take a year off college to help people” incident. If you can just keep your mind off girls, Austin, I’m sure you will go medium distances in life. Just. don’t. get in any suspicious bathtubs.
