History Tropers / Frishman

I'm a troper, now. I guess It was inevitable, considering how much time I waste here.

My name is Frishman, and I am a troper currently living in Houston, TX and posting to TVTropes instead of working. I am employed, but life in a cube is not as glamorous as {{Dilbert}} makes it seem (which is just as depressing as it seems). Feel free to PM me with anything you think ought to be on my page!

[[folder:Tropes which apply to me]] Uh, ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* AnalogyBackfire: ''Oh my goodness, yes.''
* TheAntiNihilist: We only get one shot, guys. Let's make it a good one.
* AppealToObscurity: Subverted. I tend to play games that most of my peers don't know of. This has less to do with their obscurity and more to do with me finding them used at game shops.
* BerserkButton: Do not harm a child near me. And no dead baby jokes.
* BrilliantButLazy: "Brilliant" is up for debate, though…
* CharacterAlignment: LawfulGood for the most part, espousing the "Good" more than the "Law."
* DeterminedDefeatist: I'll die probably having never made more of an impact on the world than how I've affected those few people close to me. But that doesn't mean I'm worth less than anyone else.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: In my more paranoid moments I think this.
* GoalInLife: Invent a time machine, use it to go back and meet GeorgeLucas prior to the release of Episode One...and [[GroinAttack punch him in the dick.]] Seriously, though, my goal is to be the person I ''want'' to be, regardless of what life throws at me.
* GoodIsNotDumb: Mechanical Engineer and registered pressure vessel inspector.
* GoodIsNotNice: Not if I don't have to be.
* HypocrisyNod: Part of getting my life back on track towards my goal is acknowledging how much f a hypocrite I can be.
* JackOfAllTrades: As far as an engineer goes.
* IronWoobie: Since apparently ''everyone'' thinks so XP
* IThoughtEveryoneCouldDoThat: I have a real problem with this, assuming other people can do the things I can do.
* KnightInSourArmor: Trying to polish it up, though.
* TheNapoleon: I'm a 5'6" Franco-Italian man who believes that there are no problems which cannot be solved through the proper application of explosives.
* {{Nerd}}: Hell yeah!
* NeverAcceptedInHisHometown: My hometown believed that the four seasons are Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Deer. I believe that they're [[BoringButPractical Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.]] We shall never see eye to eye, and I'm okay with that.
* OlderThanTheyLook: People keep thinking I'm in my late teens and not my late twenties.
* {{Pride}}: My FatalFlaw.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Dummies, marionettes, puppets. Strangely, muppets don't spark the same level of primal fear, probably because I have a terrible man-crush on Kermit the Frog.

[[folder:Mood Ring]] How to understand my mood through my Forum Title!
* Normal: Accompanying Title will usually be '''[[blue:The Boisterous Bruiser]]'''. Typically cheery, snarky, and sympathetic.
* Serious: Accompanying Title will usually be '''[[purple:The Consummate Professional]]'''. Still pretty cheery and sympathetic, but less snarky.
* Conflicted: Accompanying Title will be '''[[green:The Fettered]]''' Still snarky, still sympathetic, less cheerful.
* Chaotic: Accompanying Title will be '''[[red:The Evil Genius]]'''. Snarky and cheerful, but completely without sympathy.
* Lazy: Accompanying Title will be '''[[gold:The Brilliantly Lazy]]'''. Mostly just snarky.
* Stressed: Accompanying title will be ''Yare Yare...''.

Any other Titles I may present are probably there for a special occasion, such as a holiday.

Any other Avatars I may present are probably there for a special occasion, such as a holiday (for example, for Halloween I break out [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rhps-lipsandlogol2730_jpg_100.png the Lips]]) or for when I'm currently probably playing a vidja game (which will always be [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kazumakaneko-matador5733.jpg Matador]]).
