Name: Mat
Age: Sixteen (or six-and-ten as my characters' would say)
Sex: Male
Languages: English and Spanish fluently. A couple of years of French, which amount to very little.
Pet
peeves: People who spell things wrong, confuse words, and have crap grammar. People who don't bother to change the roll when they use it up. When people throw garbage out of their cars. Don't burp in front of me, it's disgusting. People who don't shower daily, or you can tell are not using deodorant. Interruptions when I am reading, always hate those.
Influences (Favorite books)
George RR. Martin. His "Song of Ice and Fire" series is awesome.
J.K Rowling. I've been reading her since I was a kid. Can't help it.
Robert Cormier. The guy's a genius. His characterization is very good.
Phillip Pullman. If you have not read anything by him, do yourself a favor and pick up "The Golden Compass." (Or The Northern Lights in the UK, I believe.)
I seem to be in a blank right now.
