Matt's Perfect Armful

Square one, my slate is clear.........

About Me

I'm a little kid trapped in a 25-year old's body. I love to play games, do puzzles, and play outside. Swingsets are one of my favorite places on earth. I like to swing with headphones on and just let my mind wander wherever it pleases. I am a HUGE klutz, and my legs are always covered in bruises and scrapes. I also have a very adult, mature side to me, though. I am a grammar/spelling whore, and have often said that I wish to travel around the world with a giant red pen. This could be a problem in foreign countries, however, as I speak no languages other than English.

I am generally a happy person. I have the most amazing friends ever (I know everyone says that, but I am convinced that mine are truly THE BEST) and as much as my family can drive me crazy, I still adore them.

All I need in life are a good book and a comfy seat, and I'm happy.
