Ok.
I didn't do the blue background thing via XXXXX because I don't want people to skim and scan, You lose the effect of truly understanding me if you do that. So, here we go.

My name is Matthew, But I prefer Matt. Calling me Matthew may make me hate you. I am 18, 5'11", 160ish lbs., intelligent, loyal, humorous, and shy. I am kind of introverted, and spend a lot of my time reading books and playing games, or with my dog. I am kind of wierd, but in the fun and playful way, not the hanging-by-underwear-from-a-flagpole way. I like to joke around a *lot*. My humor consists of alot of puns/wordplay and/or topical references to shows such as family guy and futurama. I am of the "INTP" personality type. I don't like casual relationships, so unless you are at least open to the idea of commitment, I am not the guy for you. In my school I was kind of pilloried for being an atheist. I absolutely adore philosophical discussions, preferably topical and fulfilling ones, but I even love ones that devolve into nothing more than semantics and tangential parables.

I am starting college, going for my bachelor's degree in political sciences which I will follow with a degree in law (at least, that is my thought at the moment) with the eventual goal being politics (probably). Oh, and I spend a lot of time preparing for the zombie uprising. (kidding.... OR NOT!!)

I am really good at academics, and dealing with animals and children (like how I group the two?).I am good at composing (writing, not music), I am good at getting people to calm down, getting people to see my side of an issue, I am good at staying calm in intense situations. I have difficulties starting conversations, but the ones that I have can last hours. I am also really good at making a foolproof plan and then throwing it out the window and improvising. I am kind of a living example of "where there is a will, there is a way". I believe in luck fairly strongly, but I am not superstitious. Finding a grain of truth in almost anything. I won a debate V. my teacher about how stealing was good for the country. Ask me about that, I remember it quite fondly... was VERY inventive...

I hate how everyone only focuses on the good things, like they are 100% perfect, so my flaws are that I tend to have difficulties relating to people until I have known them awhile, nothing is sacred to me when it comes to humor (although I respect other people enough that if I know that a certain joke subject offends them I avoid those in their presence), I can get pretty stubborn w/ "unqualified authority", and am a sub-par driver. There you go, a guy that just admitted that. Take THAT gender stereotypes!!!

In the case of physical features, my smile and eyes are referenced most (they are grey with a hazel starburst around the pupils,and the grey will darken and the hazel ring expand as my mood changes).

My favorite books are... anything by Ayn Rand, Terry Goodkind, R.A. Salvatore, E.E. Knight, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, or Terry Brooks. Read Harry Potter before Harry Potter was popular. One of my first chapter books i read was The Hobbit, and I adored LOTR before most people knew what it was.

Movies? I like almost all movies, whether mindless monty python style comedy, deep dramas, or just action movies like Transformers and Doom.
overly Stupid slasher flicks and vids w/ Matthew McConaghey (i mispelled his name)in them are things to avoid.

Music I prefer Country(old and new), Classic Rock(especially Billy Joel), and Weird Al. Funnily enough, I have grown to like every song that appeared on a Family Guy episode, so lots of 80's stuff as well.

Food:
I like "strong flavors", Italian food (I work the kitchen at DaVinci's so I should probably say something about it being the best...but I'm not), cajun food, and chinese food the most. I have a bunch of specialty nacho recipes.

I dislike BBQ, mayonaisse, mustard, teriyaki, "the skin"(lol), vegetarian foods, pork, ham, tofu. And no, I am not a monster, alien, or communist. I am an objectivist, that's about as far from Communism as you can get.

I have to put TV in here, Because if you don't like my kind of TV that is a major hitch (although not insurmountable) in the relationship. I LOVE Family Guy, anything on adult swim except for Squidbillies and Tim and Eric's awesome show. I like The Office & Scrubs. I stopped watching CSI the second Grissom left (sorry Taylor Swift, I never saw your performance) Family Guy is the main one I like, but I will watch almost anything with colors and sounds.(hee hee the purple dinosaur is singing!!!). The Colbert Report and The Daily Show With John Stewart are big ones. I enjoyed lil bush. South park is hit and miss. Reno 911 offends me with it's existence. also.... Inuyasha, Death Note, Bleach, Negima, Love Hina are my anime.

The six things i need are food, water, shelter, a dog, a PC, and someone to remind me where I left my arse.

PS the word arse is funny. Archaic language for the win!

Politics, joke ideas, compositions(literary), the future of the US and the world at large, doomsday theories, conspiracy theories, whether or not food can taste like a color, who would win in a fight between Batman and Rorshach, when I am gonna find my soul mate, whether or not they lace "Life Cereal" with heroin to make it taste so good (idk if heroin can even be ingested, but i need more words in here, thus I will make a claim that may be false via inherent natural laws and waste a ridiculous amount of time validating it. I.E what i am doing)<---by now that is moot, as i am way over word requirement. But I still find it funny and am leaving it in. The zombie uprising and who I will bother to save(rofl)

Going to a movie w/ one of my friends, or just hanging out w/ one of my friends... Maybe working...sleeping.

Friday 10/23/09 Me and two of my friends are gonna walk around and act completely normal, just go about our business, shop and such... while wearing Gorilla costumes.

Nothing. I don't have any major secrets, but you need to message me if you want to know anything.

I've always wondered if people tasted good... I mean, if these cannibals are willing to do all kinds of crazy shit to get it, it oughta be worth it right? **I have random thoughts and humor overcomes my morality, by the simple fact it is inherently not serious. don't be offended**

Oh, and I am in the middle of a long and devastating battle with a terrible drug addiction... to caffeine. lol!

You are an intelligent, funny woman, with an unusual personality. I do kind of go for the tomboy type. Girlie Girls usually irritate me.
