Hey there, I'm James. I stumbled onto Tv Tropes back in October of 2007 and quickly became an addict. I started off just reading and posting anonymous examples, then got known and moved up to doing my own as well. I'm a bit of an all around geek, especially when it comes to sci-fi/fantasy lit, anime.

'''Me:''' That's not what you said last night.\\

* BadassLongcoat: I don't claim to be particularly badass, but I do love my long black jacket, and it's impossible to separate me from it in winter.
* BrooklynRage: Most of the time, I'm an aversion. (And yes I was born in Brooklyn, if you're curious.) However, according to friends [[BewareTheNiceOnes I get scary when I'm mad]]...
* CloudCuckooLander: Although usually only those who know me very well get to see it in action.
* CombatPragmatist: I did my share of fighting bigger, nastier kids growing up and in my early teens. As a result my philosophy about fighting is that if there's the slightest chance of being hurt or killed in a fight, then anything goes.
* CovertPervert: Beneath the quiet, polite exterior lies a very dirty mind. People who used to seem impossibly dirty minded to me are now often surprised when I beat them in thinking dirty things.
* DeadpanSnarker
* GracefulLoser: I usually shake hands and congratulate someone who beats me in a game, and if I'm trading snarkiness with someone and they make a cutting comment, I'm usually the first to laugh and give a high five.
* InsufferableGenius: In my worse moments.
* JackOfAllTrades: Worked jobs in multiple fields, and dabbled in various artistic fields as well.
* KnightInSourArmor: Although the degree of this and exactly where I am in the Idealism-Cynicism spectrum depends on my mood and what day it is.
* Nerd: Although people tell me I look like a type 2 HollywoodNerd. (People are weird.)
* NiceHat
* NoSocialSkills: When I was younger. Still working on that one...
* OlderThanTheyLook: Which vaguely amuses me, since 10 years ago people regularly guessed that I was anywhere from a few years to a decade older than I was. Now it's the other way around.
* PaleSkinnedBrunette
* PermaStubble
* TheQuietOne
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to a longtime former best friend.
