My name is Matt. I'm sort of the quiet, creative type, perhaps a bit socially awkward sometimes. I'm big into writing and reading fiction and poetry, have been since I was a kid. I'm also pretty into movies, books, games, TV, comics, music, history, and science. I'd definitely describe myself as a nerd and a geek if those terms weren't so over-saturated these days. I've always just enjoyed absorbing information and media. I'm fun to be around once you get to know me.

Writing

Not sure what to put here. Writing, guitar, all kinds of unnecessary trivia, being awkward. Seems i'm really bad at making lists of things i'm really good at though.

er, idk, i guess my eyes? also my existence, i think people usually notice that first.

I'm a big bookworm. I guess I won't list them all, but I'm especially a fan of scifi/fantasy and comic books, as well as the classics, contemporary stuff, philosophy, history, science, etc. I'm also pretty into poetry, just a few favorites are Rimbaud, Crane, Ginsberg, Keats, & Thomas.

Writing. Books. Music. Films. Family. Laughing.

Hanging out with my friends or family, or reading a book/watching a movie. Or wasting time on reddit or something.

Anxiety's a bitch.

You want to talk and think we might hit it off.
