| Introduction | My name is Matthew Thomas Fortington Ryan. I have spent the last 19 years traveling the earth, sowing discord and dismay along the way. It has been foretold that at the time of the Leavening of Bread there will be one who will rise up and challenge me. I study Lawyering and Media Comm, but in my spare time I mostly watch movies and write. I dance a lot, often at inappropriate moments, and I shoot my mouth off whenever possible. The Lindy Hop is my one true love. Whenever I'm not dancing it, I'm thinking about dancing it. In the event of a zombie invasion, I would be having too much fun to be scared. I made a decision. I'm gonna register with the Republican Party. And I'll tell you why, if you're curious. It's because they're a freedom loving people. :S I wish I had a TARDIS. |
