About Me



I edited my profile with vomit !

I lie, it was actually Thomas' Myspace Editor V3.5 !

My name's Matthew. I'm pleased to meet you. I make music and do drawings and work in places for hardly any money. Life is too hard. Apparently i look like these people...i don't think it really matters...hmmm...

My Interests

Here's some pictures i drew: This one and the next one were in Creative Review: The drawing above is called "Black Hole Breath" My background photo of my work was taken by Tzu Hwa Wang. Check out her Flickr page for more photos from the same exhibition and more: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtzuhwa/page20/ Drawing, making weird things whether useful or not, fidgetting, learning new instruments, making compilations, wearing hats, being a music junky, moaning, shouting at the top of my voice at inappropriate moments, laughing really loud, being cynical, running away from the sun yet wishing i didn't have to, making up and singing miserable songs and making super dancey fun songs, being a super good and reliable friend, hording crap i don't need for ages then getting rid of it, looking at people doing funny things and drawing it, thinking stupid stuff (such as a mini safari park for bugs and mice) and writing it down, making silly high pitched noises out of my mouth, not talking, awkward silences, getting to the point where you know someone so well you can just be really stupid and not worry about what they think, staying in, thinking too much, being childish, ignorance, trying really hard and failing, the polar extremes of emotion.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who's nice to me. People who want to make my life easier.

IQ test

I did an IQ test today. I got a score of 135. Apparently that means my IQ is in the top 1 percent of people and clever enough for Mensa or even Intertel (which is higher). I dunno how accurate it real...
