[Deleted]

full name Matthew Henry Copeland date of birth 04.07.1986 (28) home town Birmingham, AL current city New York City, NY education University of Georgia occupation Detective, NYPD (Special Victims Unit0 ________________________________________ My father, Ben Copeland, was surrounded by police men his entire life. My grandfather, Benjamin Copeland Sr, was the Chief of Police in Birmingham for as long as I could remember. My father always wanted me to become a police officer, and while that was something I had always wanted, it wasn't the goal I was going for. I grew up around police officers. I grew up in the police station. I grew up around guns, handcuffs, all the necessities, you know. All I've ever known was this. Even further than police officers, I've always had a special fascination for detective work, and figuring out the reasons why and piecing together the evidence for each crime scene. I became fascinated with special victims, and even more so, the television show, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. I knew I wanted to become a detective for the NYPD, but to do that, I had to go into the police academy after college. I moved out out to NYC, got accepted into the academy and gradually worked my way up to special victims. It's intense. It's gory. It's hard. But I fucking love nailing criminals and getting justice for those victims. I love my job, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Seriously. ________________________________________ ________________________________________ I met Isla Olsson back in the fall of 2009 at the University of Georgia. She was visiting her brother, my housemate junior year. She was strikingly gorgeous. And I was only 21 at the time, so you can imagine the hype. I managed to sneak her away for a bit to get to know her, and it was just very flirty and fun at first. I liked her, a lot. And by the end of her visit, we had already shacked it up. She returned back to Boston, and I moved on from her. And this past fall, we reconnected. We ran into each other at the bar. And we got to talking. About her brother, work, everything. We reconnected, and began dating. And I proposed a few weeks ago. I just knew that Isla was the one I wanted. We all have these gut instincts about things, and Isla's just the one. She's supportive of me, I'm supportive of her. We know each other so well that we just complement the other. We have this connection, and the sex....man. The fucking sex. I'm just enjoying my time with her, and we haven't started planning anything. But then again, that's probably going to fall on Isla. ________________________________________ your name Karen play-by Sean O'Pry your most recent work link to thread
