I consider myself as mostly existentialist (nothing matters, so find your own meaning), but absurdism has a strong pull, I must admit.

Existentialism doesn't necessarily claim that nothing matters, so yours sounds more like optimistic nihilism, which is very similar if not identical to absurdism.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was trying to be concise and keep in style with the OP, but I may have gone overboard there.
