What's up? They call me Matteo. I'm a 24-year old pastry chef from PA, currently the head baker at a little place called Panera Bread. I'm also rather obsessed with my shoyru clans. I have five at the moment: my main, the_pie_maker_, random_neopian, galloping_gourmet, and wandering_crusader.

I also fancy myself as a rather talented neopian writer. I've been published in the NT twice, and you can read both entries by clicking on the fancy quill trophy at the bottom of my lookup. I'm currently working on a story with Korincia, Marmeri, and Kizmir. ;)

In real life, I enjoy reading and writing, as well as spending inordinate amounts of time playing Guitar Hero, (I'm a bassist/vocalist ranked approx. 120th worldwide). As for music selections, I have to go with Rise Against, Muse, Shinedown, Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, A Day to Remember, Incubus, Seether and the like. I do like playing air drums whilst making muffins. It's quite satisfying. I'm also a HUGE Pokemon fan. I've recently gotten back into the Pokemon TCG, (I'm running a Munna/Musharna deck ATM), and have an awesome team in the VG; with all 6 pokemon trained to Lv. 100, (Jolteon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, Reuniclus, Shaymin, and Dragonite). My personal favorite has got to be Shaymin. ^_^

On a completely unrelated note, I adore anything Yoshi or Kirby related. I guess I'm a Nintendo fanboy. =D

Anyway, feel free to send me a NM, I quite enjoy blathering on with random people. :) Toodles!

Looking for a NC Tradelist? Word on the street is that Kizmir's page might have something on it.
