!Tropes which apply to my life.
* AlmightyJanitor: I'm a front desk attendant with a genius-level IQ. While my physical collar may be white, trust me it's blue.
* CursedWithAwesome: I'm tall. Everyone wishes they were tall - trust me, you don't.
* DeadpanSnarker: I usually keep a tight lid on it, but it can creep out.
* DotingParent: Three kidlets! Love 'em!
* TheEighties and TheNineties. They're my generation. Started elementary school in 1979, graduated from high school in 1992. Got married in 1999.

!Tropes which apply to my life.
* AlmightyJanitor:
!The "Hiatus"

For a period of five years I had a banner up saying that I was on hiatus. Why? Well,
I'm putting a front desk attendant PublicServiceAnnouncement here about something nobody talks about, but should. I was on hiatus because I was serving Federal prison time for one count of possession of child pornography. I doubt this is too much of a surprise, after all I obviously started the UsefulNotes/{{Pornography}} page because I'm knowledgeable on the topic.

Anyway, to anyone who is struggling
with or freely uses illegal pornography, let me tell you that the authorities ''do not care'' how you've never actually committed any hands on offenses or are a genius-level IQ. While parent in a family that was totally unaware of your private wanderings online. '''Prison time is a practical certainty, if caught.''' I got five years, and that was down from being up against eight - and they went easy on me! I had to spend thousands of dollars in restitution to the victims in the pictures. I had letters from family and friends in my physical collar may be white, trust support, and family stood up for me in court. However even though my story never hit the news and they went easy on me '''it still ripped my family apart''', and my kids had to deal with heckling at school because of something REALLY stupid their father did, not them.

In addition to not seeing my family and friends while in prison, as a {{Troper}} (something which will hit closer to home with you) it was several years of having to watch movies from the back of a room on a tiny TV screen, and missing multiple series and films that I wanted to see. No Internet access. Limited to the books from our donation-only library and an encyclopedia published in 1996.

If you are using illegal porn, '''you should stop today''' if you can. I know that's hard, and I don't know any magic way to do that, plus finding a therapist for this is hard as they're required to report it - but this really is serious shit. If you do find yourself caught, don't do anything stupid like fight back or end your life - prison sucks, but
it's blue.
* CursedWithAwesome:
survivable. I'm tall. Everyone wishes they were tall - trust me, proof of that.

What should
you don't.
* DeadpanSnarker: I usually keep a tight lid on it, but it can creep out.
* DotingParent: Three kidlets! Love 'em!
* TheEighties
do? As said before, stop using and TheNineties. They're my generation. Started elementary school in 1979, graduated from high school in 1992. Got married in 1999.

!My favorite tropes
looking for illegal pornography (and ''never'' produce or distribute - those carry MUCH longer sentences than 8 years). Also support FAMM (Families Against Mandatory Minimums), NARSOL (For rational sex offender laws), and criminal justice reforms (if you think the authorities are too hard on posession).

I came to TV Tropes (''sometime'' before 2008) when a friend on [[LiveJournal Livejournal]] complained that it was [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife sucking up so much of his time]]. The first thing I looked up was something that had long bugged me about kid's shows - shows where a character thinks his birthday is forgotten. To my total shock, there it was: ForgottenBirthday. I've been a convert ever since.

Yes, I know my name has "muggle" in it. Yes, I was a big fan of HarryPotter back in the day. The series is over now ([[AdaptationDisplacement the movies are nice]], but story's over, folks!), and I've moved on - but the name remains.[[note]]So you want to know more? I wanted Harry to end up with Hermione. I ADORE Hermione in the books - but refuse to accept EmmaWatson's version. Watson has yet to prove her full acting chops, but she's no nerd. Still, Harry is with Ginny, it's canon, and it's just a book anyway.[[/note]]
