PERSONALITY; Matt is that slacker nerd. You know the one. The guy who’s damn smart, but who just doesn’t bother with school. Oh, he does well enough to pass, and he does great on tests, but he’s got other things on his mind. English? A ten page report on Tolstoy? That’s boring when you can be playing videogames and modding computers. He doesn’t really have ADD, though it may come off that way. No, he can spend all day working on programs. He just doesn’t have any sense of discipline when it comes to schoolwork. After being able to get high marks without much real effort for most of his life, he doesn’t really know-or care-how to study or focus on classwork.
Most of the time Matt is rather reserved, preferring his computer to face-to-face human interaction. He does not like being in large crowds. If things start to get loud he’ll probably take out a gameboy and plug headphones into it so he doesn’t have to deal with people. But just because he’s got his game out doesn’t mean he’s not listening. He can pay attention to two things at once, and doesn’t see it as rude to do something else while a person’s talking. He has a big problem with this. Matt is very casual, and doesn’t really care much whether he comes off as rude to other people. So he can be very sarcastic and short.
But when he does manage to make a friend, Matt is incredibly loyal. He’ll tell his friends when they’re being unreasonable, but he’ll still stick up for them unless they do something absolutely terrible. And even then, if he thinks they did it for the right reasons he’ll just roll his eyes and help them out. Though he doesn’t usually like working with other people, Matt can easily fall into the follower role.
On a whole Matt is a very laid back individual. He’s difficult to rile up, and if someone’s annoying him he’ll most likely tease them for a while, then get bored and go do something else. He doesn’t really judge people for their opinions, so he’s pretty easy to get along with if you can deal with the snark. He doesn’t worry a whole lot-typically he lives in the present rather than worrying about the future or past. But this can get him into trouble. Matt has a tendency to overlook things that may be important and just assume he has all the right information. If Matt is in a tight spot, he’ll try to make jokes to cover up his fear.
Games, programming, and electronics are Matt’s specialty. He’s a computer genius and he absolutely knows it. He may feel anxious in social situations, or bored and a bit awkward in humanities classes, but he is very proud of his skills with all things digital and tends to relax more when he’s in a computer/gaming environment.

JOURNAL POST; I wish we had another week to get situated. I think I’m still jetlagged. Can’t expect me to get anything done when I’m still half-asleep the whole day.
They’ve got a computer lab here, right? An actual, proper computer lab, I mean, not just a bunch of nanny-bot infested things for us to e-mail home with. THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE; Log from plutoix.
