A Troper from the middle of nowhere. Not much else to say.

I provide an example of:

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Always have had a tendency to list things like this. Did it more often when I found out it's a trope.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Unless you're absolutely enthralling, don't expect to hold my attention.
* [[NoSenseOfDirection Awesome Sense of Direction]]: [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial The reason I keep pulling up the map is just to show you that I know exactly where I'm going and definitely not at all because I'm completely and hopelessly lost.]]
* BadassCreed: "Live in life's moment, do not cause harm without cause, and do not suffer harm without retaliation."
* BadassLongcoat: A copy of [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Kirito's]] Nidhoggr Coat.
* BerserkButton: Basic human rights being violated.
* BiTheWay
* BigEater: Few meals have proven to be me-proof.
* BrilliantButLazy: I could be a straight A student if I wanted to be. Operative word being wanted.
* BuffySpeak: I tend to talk like this when I'm tired.
* TheCassandra: Even when I tell unmasked truths, nobody believes me.
* CatchPhrase: "You confuse me with someone who cares." Additionally, "Jackpot", or sometimes "Checkmate" when I outmaneuver someone.
** MadLibsCatchPhrase: "How do I do X?" When failing to do something seemingly simple (e.g: "How do I do dexterity?" for finger movements.
* ChekhovsSkill: Once thought-useless ability to read French became useful when the English version of an instruction manual was made illegible by water.
* CloudCuckooLander: I walk in Imagination Land every now and again. Helps with ideas for writing.
* CombatPragmatist: I may not be that physically strong, but go ahead, challenge me to a fight. I'll leave you with no breath, several broken bones, and no idea how it happened, thanks to gratuitous usage of ConfusionFu.
* CursedWithAwesome / BlessedWithSuck: YMMV on which one it is. I suffer from a medical condition that guarantees I'll always have NoSocialSkills, but am also super smart.
* DeadpanSnarker: As my few friends can testify.
** StepfordSnarker
* {{Determinator}}: Determination bordering on obsession is a common thing I demonstrate when I want something.
* DoesntLikeGuns: No idea why, but I have an aversion to them.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: I'm barefoot the second I get back.
* {{Facepalm}}: Sometimes taken UpToEleven with the "2X Facepalm Double Combo" or, more rarely, the "Very Rare And Dangerous 2X {{Facepalm}}/{{Headdesk}} Triple Combo".
* FailedASpotCheck: Happens every now and again.
* FlatWhat: How I react to something confusing presented suddenly. Usually accompanied by a slight tilting of the head.
* FlippingTheBird: My fingers are far more expressive than my mouth could ever hope to be.
* FragileSpeedster
* FreudianSlip: Sometimes, when reading aloud. Usually covered with rapidly saying what I meant.
* GrammarNazi: Spell it right, and use the right syntax, or [[OhCrap I will find you.]]
* GratuitousFrench, [[GratuitousItalian Italian]], [[RuleOfThree and]] [[GratuitousJapanese Japanese]]: Most limited to counting in French, [[ForeignCussWord swearing in Italian]], and saying "Moshi moshi" when answering the phone.
* {{Griefer}}: A ''professional'' griefer, I'll have you know. If I have TNT or a bucket of lava, do not leave me alone unless you want your buildings incinerated or blown to pieces, which I will then [[ImplausibleDeniability deny having done while standing right next to them.]]
* HandshakeSubstitute: Here comes the brofist.
* HatesBeingTouched: Rule #1: No touchie!
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how lonely I am. My music might also contribute.
* HellIsThatNoise: I panic when I hear [[{{Persona3}} rattling chains in the distance.]] Frickin' [[TheGrimReaper Rea]][[BonusBoss per.]]
* HumansAreBastards: My outlook on humanity as a whole.
* {{Hypocrite}}: I don't want people to see me. I do things that call attention to myself. I want to be close to someone. I locked up my heart and threw away the key. The list goes on.
** HypocrisyNod
* IHatePastMe: In the immortal words of [[{{Homestuck}} Karkat Vantas]]:
--> CG: GOD, PAST ME IS SO TERRIBLE, EVEN WHEN I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED BEING HIM.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: But at the same time, I don't get people. Never have.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Minor case. I think that if a word was coined in a foreign language, it should be pronounced that way.
* LampshadeHanging: I always point out tropes I see used in any media.
* MemeticBadass: Of a kind. Apparently, I can kill you thirty-seven ways in ''{{Halo}}'' just by going off the sound-effects, without getting killed in between.
* MotorMouth: Rambler type. When I get going, it isn't particularly fast, but I can speak a lot while saying very little.
* NoSocialSkills: Most of my socializing is done from long-range, either with a computer or by phone. Even then, it's limited.
* NobodyTouchesTheHair
* OneOfUs: [[CaptainObvious Well, duh.]]
* PerpetualFrowner
* PlayerTic: I tend to say "Bangbangbangbang!" really rapidly in [=FPSs=] when solving a problem with MoreDakka.
* PowerOfTheGodHand: When I type at top speed and write with my best quality, I refer to that state as having reached "God Hand."
* TheQuietOne: Nearly TheVoiceless with how rarely I speak.
* RantInducingSlight: There are times when my typing speed and quality reach a level I describe as [[PowerOfTheGodHand "God Hand"]]. If you do not want to suffer TheRant, you will not disturb me during this fragile state.
* RapidFireTyping: When going at full speed, I can go at nearly 100 WPM. Unfortunately, if I actually go that fast, [[AwesomeButImpractical my computer can't keep up and it ends up seeming like a string of]] {{Angrish}}.
* RoyalRapier: Not so much royal, but the only one of my [[CoolSword Cool Swords]] that isn't ornamental is a rapier.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Give me a reasonably comfortable surface and a couple of minutes, and I'll be out cold if I'm not focusing on something.
* TheSmartGuy
* SophisticatedAsHell: Generally. Speaking with me at any length of time can include high-class words, technical jargon, and {{Cluster F Bomb}}s.
* SoundtrackDissonance: Frequently [[InvokedTrope invoked]]. Try playing CallOfDutyBlackOps2 Zombie mode with "Welcome to the Club" by DJManian or "Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions" by TheLonelyIsland playing in the background for one thing.
* TheSpock
* TheStoic: See TheQuietOne above.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: It's a bad habit.
* TVTropesRuinedYourLife: Added an entry on that page.
* UnableToCry: No matter how much I want to, or how close I come, I just can't.
* VerbalTic: Sometimes I finish my sentences like they were a question, ya?
* WeaksauceWeakness: People.
* WordOfGod: Made this very page.
* ZergRush: How I solve my problems in [=RTSs=], usually involving hordes of the best {{Mooks}} I can build.
