Hi, my name is Matt. I was born in D.C., but lived in Boston for most of my life. I joined the Army out of high school, and served for four years (two of which I spent in Germany). I went to college after I got out of the Army, and law school after that.

I consider myself fairly easy going and agreeable. I joke around a lot. I think that I'm funny, some people agree.

I tend to pour myself in to whatever I do; school, relationships and hobbies for example. My dominant hobby is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which I have been studying for about six years. I have been snowboarding since I was 14 and still enjoy the occasional trip to the slopes when I have time.

Winning, ummm, tiger blood?

Making inappropriate comments. Being socially awkward around women who interest me.

Probably either my eyes, which are blue, or my hair, which is absent.

Books: The Bourne series, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Ender's Game, anything Edgar Allen Poe

Movies:
- Classics: The Godfather Trilogy, On the Waterfront, Rocky, The Color of Money, A Streetcare Named Desire, etc...

- Modern: Wedding Crashers, The Hangover, Definitely Maybe (gets me every time)

Food: Pizza and New York cheesecake

1. A sense of humor
2. My friends
3. Manners/"common" courtesy
4. Access to information (knowledge is freedom)
5. My gi (its a jiu-jitsu thing)
6. Someone to share my life with

My future (job, life, love, etc...) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Probably working then sleeping... but very interested in improving this answer.

Sometimes I want to be the little spoon.

You are an active, intelligent, quick witted, strong woman who is as comfortable in a professional setting as you are sitting around a camp fire with a brew. You have a good sense of humor and appreciate sarcasm, and inappropriate comments.

Bonus points if you snowboard or know what an omoplata is.
