↳ Matthew is the oldest child of the Hudson family, and by most who know him he is considered to be intense. He never does something that he likes half-assed, and if he doesn’t want to do it all the president himself couldn’t force him into it. He is very protective of his family, and has been taught a very healthy respect for women by his mom. Watching her work as a single mother his entire life to provide for her sons was something he always had respect for, even if he hated the fact that she had to do it alone. He has never been ‘that dude’ who has it all figured out and knows exactly what he wants from life. As far as Matt is concerned the future usually extends about as far into the future as what to eat for lunch that day.
↳ The only thing he knows for sure is that he hates watching his mom bust her ass to earn a few bucks. He wants to find the kind of career that allows her to retire and live a comfortable sort of life where all she has to worry about is the garden she chooses to have or whatever. Matt’s never really been considered a ‘problem child’ that isn’t to say however that he hasn’t caused his fair share of problems for his mom and brother. He’s kept average grades since middle school, never cared much for clubs or sports and when it comes to causes trouble like in all other things, he does it on his own time and in his own way. Disappearing from the house for days at a time just to get a little of what he considers peace. It isn’t a problem so much anymore, since he’s old enough to account for himself, but during high school his ability to slip out under the radar gave Carole Hudson more than a few sleepless nights.
↳ When it comes to dating Matt hasn’t done much of it since his freshman year of college, being a firm believer in the adage of once bitten, twice shy and his first serious relationship outside of high school was pretty much an epic, TV worthy disaster. Since then, he has found it all too easy to come up with convenient excuses to not date. He’s too busy, he has to study, his job doesn’t leave him enough time, with the road trip coming up, and he doesn’t have the money to waste on fancy dinners and anniversary gifts. Though girls have shown enough interest in him, the vast amount of ready and practical excuses have kept him out of the dating pool, he isn’t really lonely per-say, but there are times when he misses the comfort of having a steady girlfriend.
↳ Matt also loves parties, with his favorite past times being Irish whiskey on the rocks and a good blunt. Stumbling home drunk, high or a combination isn’t anything new for Matt, and while he acknowledges that his actions are sometimes more than a little reckless, and cause for concern for the people that care about him, he figures since it isn’t hurting anyone, there really isn’t any reason to stop. In his mind, he’s careful enough, he doesn’t drive drunk, finds a cab to make sure his lady friends make it in alright and to date he had never passed out in the middle of the street. There is a first time for everything, but he figures he can cross that bridge when he comes to it. All he is doing is having fun and enjoying his life, and there isn’t any law against doing that.
↳ Since starting college, Matt’s realized that he has a pretty natural talent for writing, it’s been his best subject consistently since grade school, and never really bothered to consider what that meant until he took a creative writing class for the language credit. When one of his short stories was published in the campus newspaper he really started to consider if maybe writing wasn’t something he might want to do with his life, even if it was very likely not going to make him any money. To support himself, he got a job freshman year working at a warehouse doing swing shifts over-night, it doesn’t leave him with a lot of time for sleeping, dating or doing anything really except studying, scarfing down a snack and going to class, but it does allow him to send a few bucks home every month to help his mom out, and could easily support him later in life, if he decided writing was really what he wants to do.
