About me:
Hi. I'm Matty. I'm a very interesting individual. I am someone you would want to know and have on your side. Besides being a good friend, I'll listen to your problems. I try to help everyone out the best I can.

I love music. I have to hear it daily. I tend to be a bit snobby when it comes to this, but I mean no harm. There is just some stuff I can't stand. I mainly listen to punk and 80's, but I like a lot more than that. I have a thorough collection of music from !!! to ZZ Top. I enjoy checking out new bands. I don't go to shows hardly enough though.

I'm a bit shy/socially awkward. This will come across when I meet someone for the first time. But rest assured, once I get to know you, I'm much friendlier.

I have Asperger's Syndrome. It's a mild form of Autism. It's a pain in the ass and some people don't get me. But it makes me who I am.

Who I'd like to meet:
Someone who I can banter with about useless things. Hopefully, they enjoy music as much as I do.

You mentioned them playing, but not the hilarious 7-mile walk story! xDDD

Day before candy day was my friend's b-day and because we're all poor cunts, we pooled together cash to get sushi, but we didn't have enough for the bus, so we walked to and back 12 miles both ways to a sushi bar.
