[3rd person-style description]
Matt was born over twenty years ago to two people just outside the lovely city of Bristol, England, the United Kingdom. He's currently a student, studying to be any good at Social Research, and in his spare time likes wandering around pointlessly, pointless artiness, music, books, and graphic design.

He graduated from high school five years ago and studied english literature, history and sociology at 'a' level. one day he hopes to either own an arty record store or be involved in graphical design or the media in some way. sad films make him cry. he likes most films and music, but especially the arty and crap types. he still thinks buffy the vampire slayer was the best programme to air on tv.

matt enjoys talking to people endlessly, drinking, the way words look on paper, autumn, cats, well-designed magazines, cd packaging, the smell of bonfires, big mugs, starbucks, and good clothes. he loves his friends and family loads, and hopes to do something in return for them before he's gone.
