I don't really think that anyone's looking at this... but perhaps you are. Hello! Why you would be here is another question, but here I've just collected a bunch of works and tropes, mainly for my own amusement (but also as a bunch of redlinks that I can refer back to if I'm really bored). By the way, I'm from Edinburgh, I'm 22, and gay. And I have a degree in linguistics. That's about all you really need to know for the moment...

!!Works that I like include:
* {{Amelie}}
* ApeEscape
* {{Discworld}}
* TheFifthElement
* HarryPotter
* HisDarkMaterials
* TheIncredibleMachine
* {{Lemmings}}
* MalcolmInTheMiddle
* TheMightyBoosh
* TheMoomins
* {{Oddworld}}
* {{QI}}
* RedDwarf
* TheSims 2
* {{Spaced}}
* StudioGhibli
* {{Tintin}}
* {{Zoombinis}}

!!Tropes that might apply to me:
* ChildHater: at least, I'm not a fan of kids.
* CountryMatters: I quite like this word.
* {{Conlang}}ing: ie making up languages -- it's a hobby of mine; in the absence of actual writing talent I like to make up fictional languages and worlds to put them in...
* DeadpanSnarker: especially on the internet, where one can't detect sarcasm as easily. But then I switch to being oblivious to all sarcasm very quickly.
* HairOfGold
* LawfulNeutral, or possibly ChaoticNeutral. Not sure.
* StraightGay (although I hate that term)
* StrokeTheBeard
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy -- well, OK, {{YMMV}} on the pretty bit.

!!Things I first noticed or found via TV Tropes:
See TVTropesAsAGatewayDrug for these.

* AnswerMeThis!
* {{Chainsawsuit}}
* CyanideAndHappiness
* {{Oglaf}}
* SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal
* ScandinaviaAndTheWorld
* {{XKCD}}

Following are the works that I have watched/played/read in 2008-2010 (in rough chronological order, latest at the bottom, except that 2010 is on top, as it were) -- a (very long!) list that I may use as a personal redlink reference page.

!!2008
This year was quite special because I watched one film every day. Or, technically, one film ''per'' day, since I was in other countries for significant portions of the year. But here is the full list; it's actually 367 in total, one extra. Enjoy. I must have read books and stuff during this year; I haven't recorded them, however.
