Who am I?

[angelophile]

It's occurred to me that I've had a number of people add this journal to their friends over the past few months from places like scans_daily, DM.net and any number of other places that I hang out at and probably have no clue who I actually am beyond a screenname on a computer.

So please allow myself to introduce myself.

This is me:



My name's Matt and I'm a graphic designer (of sorts) from England. I own my own flat in Poole, on the south coast of England, within spitting distance of France (believe me, I've tried) and work in Bournemouth, the next town over. I'm 31 years old and feeling it, single and set in my ways.

I work for a monthly trade newspaper/magazine that hits the catering industry, pubs and hotels. Once a month I vanish as the amount of work required to produce it snowballs and I go into deadline mode. This means I either go quiet or come on here bitching. Either way, it's not a lot of fun.

I have family I'm close to (two sisters, two nephews and a niece and both my parents), friends from my college days in Northampton who I care about but don't see as often as I'd like on the whole. (and who I don't talk to that often either. We catch up occasionally and it's just like old times.)

I'm kept busy by my family, my limited number of local friends, my online activities and my involvement with a theatre group in my (old) home town about twenty miles along the coast and a ferry trip on the way. For them I variously perform on stage, design publicity for them and other theatre groups.

I have various other interests - I read a lot and you'll occasionally find me commenting on books I've read here. If you're interested in my favourite books, movies and music, you'll find some indication of them here on my own website. My other interests include comics - I'm a big X-men fan, and Transformers.

As well as the above site I can be found here on Livejournal, as a regular contributor to DM.net, the official site of film producer Don Murphy, who I'm on friendly terms with, Facebook, Myspace, Bebo, Insanejournal and scans_daily.

Examples of art produced by myself can be found at my Sheezyart gallery and has a bunch of posters, superhero photomanips and more.

I'm on AIM as Angelophile and Yahoo Messenger as AngelophileUK.
