Matthew B. Corley

Matthew is a 3rd year college student with a double major in Biology and History. He is mostly interested in a career in human genetics because he wants to understand people; coincidentally, that's also why he studies history.

*points to comment above her's and laughs* Hee hee hee, It's mine! *first comment chair spin* Us 15 year olds rule! *laughs evily* Any ho your stories are great, I really liked The Box. Well welcome to the woods, hope you have fun and keep writing. When you put more up I'd love to come and read it. Well gotta go. *spins off into the distance*

:-) Matthew B. Corley replies: "Ah, I am glad you liked them. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. When I have a bit of time, I'll be sure to check out your page. I'll be sure to let you know when I have posted the continuations."

Welcome to the woods matey! *Lots of tiny if not slightly charred gremlins come out of the dense forest foliage and attach themselves to Matt's leg, giving it a great big hug* I should really teach the Gack Hack Foo's to stop that shouldn't I?

I had a look at your bio and I'm planning on doing something similar to what you're doing when I go to university, only I'm doing English Literature - I never had the patience with this programming lark, too many numbers addle my brain.

:-) Matthew B. Corley replies: "Thanks for the welcoming! *eyes the gremlin hugging his leg nervously*Aye, creative writing is one of my greatest pleasures. Well, writing in general, that is! And I'm not the biggest fan of math and the like, but when I can apply it to something I am interested in (and therefore worthwhile), such as technology, then it is actually fun. If that makes much sense...Thanks for taking the time to check out my page. I hope you enjoy what you find."

You sure you're alive? [pokes with bargepole]

:-) Matthew B. Corley replies: "*pinches self* Hhrrm, well... I can't be for sure. My neural functions seem to be intact. There is only one way to be sure, I suppose.*reads Leo Tolstoy...dies* Yeah, I -was- alive. Leo Tolstoy still slays me; if I were dead, this obviously wouldn't be the case."

Hrmn...Seems to me that you are more talented than I feared. I may be forced to marry you after all... To think, all it took to find you was a quick google search. Isn't life grand?
