| 1 | {{Hello}}! |
| 2 | |
| 3 | I am Tropers/AntonioCalavera, Filipino [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife TV Tropes addict]] and English teacher extraordinaire! I've been lurking on the wiki for years and have been immensely pleased with its [[TaughtByExperience growth]] and friendly, sensible attitude towards fiction and its parallels in RealLife. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | I am a single, [[{{Geek}} geeky]], [[SmartPeopleWearGlasses bespectacled]] lecturer of [[LitClassTropes English literature]] at a major Jesuit [[WackyCollege university]] in Quezon City. I have been a licensed pilot since my college years and am a great fan of [[ComicBooks graphic novels]] and ScienceFiction. I play more VideoGames than are good for me, fly my family's [[TimTaylorTechnology souped-up]] [[CoolPlane Cessna 152]] on weekends whenever possible, and [[RidiculousProcrastinator procrastinate]] way too much when checking my students' papers. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | I also enjoy Scuba diving, flying with Dad, and pestering my students, whom I love dearly despite their perpetual grammar problems. After a hiatus of five years, I'm back to writing fan fiction as well. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | In addition to providing hours of entertainment, TVTropes has [[TvTropesWillEnhanceYourLife greatly influenced]] me in the way I think about literature and media, and my students have reaped the benefits. After years of lurking, I've decided to get known and become a [[TheContributors Contributor]] so that I can give something back. |

| 14 | * AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: [[WaistcoatOfStyle Waistcoat]]: check. Pocketwatch: check. [[NiceHat Fedora]]: check. |
| 15 | * ClassRepresentative: Was one back in college for my Literature block. They called me the [[DoubleEntendre block head]]. |
| 16 | * CoolTeacher: Was recently voted "Legendary Teacher" in a university-wide poll. |
