Of things Matt
	Background: Born, Dayton Ohio, September 22, 1974. Ironically, that's Hobbit Day. It was almost like I was destined to like fantasy. I grew up in the country, and had a great passion for reading. Well, with a mother that was a teacher that became a librarian.. I suppose that could be understood as well. Unlike my counterpart, I lived all of my formative years in the same house, going to the same schools, and dreaming of being a scientist. The mad kind. Unfortunately, they didn't have classes to prepare you for that path in life, so I settled on beginning a physics degree. After youthful angst and annoyance with prerequisites, I decided to discontinue my college education.
			The day I met Peter is totally wiped from my mind. I remember the instance of it, the series of events, but.. nah, nothing. What is remarkable about our meeting is how quickly we became friends. Within the space of our senior year we were stalwart companions. Whether it was assaulting our friends or gaming all night to get one more turn in on Axis and Allies... The amount of pizza and Mountain Dew we and our friends went through was the stuff of legends. The song "Glory Days" comes to mind...
		The Now: I live in the small town of Brookville Ohio, with my fiancé Kelley, who somehow puts up with me. We plan on being married in what feels like too long from now and too soon at the same time. I have worked most of my life in customer service positions, but am currently looking for something different. When I am not working on our books and write ups for web pages, I play online games such as Worlds of Warcraft under the guild tag  Asa~Tru, and the PBEM game Phoenix. I spend most of my time doing boring things like yard work and other grownup things. It's rather depressing when you think about it. Now where's my cane, some whipper snappers are on my lawn...
