1Just a random troper. I try to be a [[TroperTypes Trope Editor]], but the truth is that I frequently get distracted by something interesting and end up going on extended [[WikiWalk Wiki Walks]] that often last for hours. The result is that I'm not a very good editor. So I lurk, I read, and (when I'm not being side-tracked by shiny objects and fascinating tropes) I fix spelling/grammar mistakes and make sure things are up to date. That's about it.

3I love lots of geeky things, animation (both western and anime) in particular. If I'm not watching cartoons, then I'm either drawing, online, or have my nose in a book. I also do some photography for fun; if you're interested, I have a Tumblr account [[http://interlunation.tumblr.com/ here]].

5If you're wondering what in the world is with my name... it's actually supposed to be "Pszczoła", but I changed the "ł" to an "l" to avoid the headache (and garbled code) that results when using letters that are not present in English. It's also the Polish word for "honeybee" (according to the other wiki, that is). See, my RL name means "honeybee" and I'm part Polish by heritage, so... yeah. I have a hard time thinking up interesting usernames, in case you can't tell.

7In general, I like things that play around with traditional gender roles and sexuality. I ''love'' {{Deconstruction}} and MindScrew works, as well as series that find ways to subvert or avert tropes in clever ways. For whatever reason, I tend to fall in love with [[TrollingCreator Trolling Creators]] and/or creators who are {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s.

9My pet projects on this site at the moment are helping get the fanfiction recommendation pages converted to the new review style, and getting the ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' pages cleaned up, as there's a lot of fanon and misused tropes. I've got the main page more or less done, but I still need to tackle the character pages and other sub-pages.

11!!I am a fan of:
12
13[[foldercontrol]]
14
15[[folder: Anime & Manga ]]
16* Manga/{{AKIRA}}
17* Manga/AngelSanctuary
18* Manga/AxisPowersHetalia (For what it's worth, I'm here for the whole "history on crack" aspect, not the "ZOMG BISHIES AND YAOI!!!1!" To be fair, though, I don't think the fandom is as bad as people say. I've certainly encountered worse.)
19* Manga/AzumangaDaioh
20* LightNovel/{{Baccano}}
21* LightNovel/BakaToTestToShoukanjuu
22* Manga/{{Bastard}}
23* Manga/BlackButler
24* Manga/{{Bleach}} (Although I'm ''still'' not caught up with the entire thing.)
25* Manga/{{Chobits}}
26* Anime/CowboyBebop
27* Manga/DeathNote
28* Anime/{{FLCL}}
29* Franchise/FullmetalAlchemist (I seem to be one of the few people that likes both versions of the anime.)
30* Franchise/GhostInTheShell
31* Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies (Cried like a baby. Possibly the saddest movie ever made.)
32* Anime/HellGirl
33* Manga/{{Hellsing}}
34* Anime/IMyMeStrawberryEggs
35* Anime/KanashimiNoBelladonna (I really wish that someone would release this in the US. I found it online, but the image quality was degraded, and the translation was rough at best.)
36* Manga/KeroroGunsou
37* Manga/{{Kuragehime}}
38* Manga/MagicKnightRayearth
39* Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico
40* Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing (I swear that I will get around to watching the rest of the Gundam series someday...)

44* Anime/ParanoiaAgent
45* Anime/PerfectBlue
46* Manga/PetShopOfHorrors
47* Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica
48* Manga/RanmaOneHalf
49* Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena (It doesn't matter how many times I've watched this series, I ''still'' get goosebumps and shivers down my spine while watching the last episode. I cannot gush about this show enough.)

51* Anime/SamuraiChamploo
52* Anime/SerialExperimentsLain
53* Anime/ShamanicPrincess
54* Anime/ShinChan
55* LightNovel/{{Slayers}}
56* Anime/SpiritedAway (I pretty much love anything by HayaoMiyazaki, to be honest)
57* Anime/SummerWars
58* Manga/{{Trigun}}
59* LightNovel/VampireHunterD (Although the first movie hasn't really held up over the years. Bloodlust is gorgeous, though.)

61* Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne
62* Anime/WitchHunterRobin
63* Manga/WolfsRain
64* Manga/XxxHOLiC
65* Manga/YuYuHakusho

68
69* Anime/CuteyHoney
70* Anime/DeadLeaves
71* Manga/DragonBall (I like what I've seen of the original series, but I didn't care for DBZ very much.)
72* LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya
73* Manga/KamikazeKaitouJeanne
74* Manga/LupinIII (Another series that I've liked what little I've seen.)
75* Anime/{{Noir}}

170* ZenAndTheArtOfMotorcycleMaintenance
171
172I actually read a lot, it's just that at least half of the stuff I read is nonfiction. Maybe I'll list my nonfiction favorites anyway at some point (the ones that don't have pages here, that is).

186
187I haven't actually watched TV since 2007. I keep up with Stewart and Colbert online, and if there's an ongoing series I like (which, at the moment, is limited to NCIS) I just wait until it comes out on DVD.
