Intro.

I suppose before I start blogging away  my readers (if I ever have any) should know a little bit about me first. My name's Ryan, and I just started my freshman year of college this fall. Anyway, for starters, I'm a writer. That's usually my first introduction, because it's the most important thing in the world to me. Big surprise there, making a blog online... Hopefully one day I'll be a professional, published author. That would be pretty awesome. My biggest inspirations are Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and J.K. Rowling for their personal writing styles and their abilities to take hold of their readers and never let go until the last page has been turned. Their characters are extremely believable, and their stories are timeless.

I absolutely love to watch movies. Horror is my favorite genre because of the adrenaline rush. I'm not one of those people who claim they're unafraid yet shiver in their seats. I jump, I gasp, and I laugh (usually when it's really not appropriate. I have a sick sense of humor. Get over it.), and that's the fun of it, isn't it? That's what they're trying to do: scare you. If it's not working, then you're doing it wrong. John Carpenter's Halloween is my all-time favorite movie. Above all other genres as well as horror, this movie has defined what we know today as the modern slasher. There have been other movies before and after it, but nothing stands as tall and lingers as eerily as the atmosphere as this classic film. Rob Zombie's remake, I'll admit, was decent- much better than half of the original's sequels, I'll give it that- but nothing can defeat the original Michael Myers and his William Shatner mask. That stuff is pants-shittingly good.

You'll find out more about me as this blog continues- just hold tight and laugh along at my ridiculousness. Or not, do what you want. I don't own you.

Don't be thrown off about this blog- I'm not going to sit around and review my favorite things, although I might if they're brought up... But this blog is going to be about things that get on my nerves, hence, Annoyances. I'm going to try and keep this consistent, at least one blog a week, if not more. So stick with me, and hopefully more than just me will be reading this.
