About Me

Hi. MATT here. Will also answer to MATTHEW, MATTY, MATTY B., MATTYBRAND, SUPERMAN, GRUMPY, and HON (But the last one is for only the chosen few).
Been a theatre professional for close to 10 years, currently smoke-free, still possessing a strong set of pipes especially after surgery, and also a strong critic of stupidity in politics and pop culture. Also pretty good with bowling balls, knitting needles and hand-to-hand weaponry.
Just your average stupidity-hating, slightly opinionated, fiercely passionate, brashing overbearing yet genuine smartass with a big heart, a love of manners and a acidic wit. Whatever it is, I'm really into it, but I'm also very over it. And if you think what I say is sarcastic, then chances are I just insulted you. But don't worry, everyone around you got a kick out of it.
READ MY BLOG ..... and you'll get my point.

My score on The 4-Variable Buffy Personality Test :
Faith
(72% amorality, 72% passion, 45% spirituality, 45% selflessness)
Faith is a powerhouse, and you might be, too. Passion-driven, down-to-earth, and willing to do what it takes to get things done and have a good time doing them, she is tough and sexy. Now, this test didn't rate your sexiness, but with these kinds of traits, that's probably true as well.You rate as one of the most dynamic characters of the Buffy universe.Congratulations!If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback!
