California-bred theater major is a velociraptor wannabe, likes finding shapes in fluffy clouds
WILDCAT: You have fun hair. That will be so great for the picture.
BAILEY: Thanks.
WILDCAT: I interviewed another musical theater person yesterday.
BAILEY: Cool.
WILDCAT: I thought so. Where are you from?
BAILEY: I'm from Northern California.
WILDCAT: Really? The other girl was from Southern California. So, did you guys like meet in the middle and decide to come to UA?
BAILEY: No, we met here.
WILDCAT: So Matt Bailey, do you like to look at clouds and make shapes out of them?
BAILEY: Sometimes. But today the clouds are a little frothy and spread out, so it's a little harder.
WILDCAT: Indeed. I prefer when the clouds look like the ones on "The Simpsons."
BAILEY: Yes, yes.
WILDCAT: Most recently, what was a cloud shape you saw?
BAILEY: A dinosaur.
WILDCAT: Did you play dinosaurs as a child?
BAILEY: Yes, I was a big dinosaur fan.
WILDCAT: You were? Who was your favorite?
BAILEY: I liked the T-Rex because when they fall down they can't get up.
WILDCAT: I know, because their arms are all stumpy.
BAILEY: It's comedy.
WILDCAT: I agree. If you had to be a dinosaur ·
BAILEY: I'd be a velociraptor because they are bad-ass and they are so fast and they can jump like 60 feet.
WILDCAT: I love that they are small little guys and you think they aren't going to do any damage ·
BAILEY: But really they could bite off your head.
WILDCAT: Exactly. So if you had to go back to dinosaur time, would you try to steal dinosaur eggs for food or just eat the vegetation?
BAILEY: I'd try to avoid the dinosaurs.
WILDCAT: Maybe you should try to tame one and ride it.
BAILEY: That would be cool.
