Describe [=SpiriTsunami=] here.

Likely to [[MotorMouth run on for long periods of time.]] Often leads to WallsOfText. Please bear with me. Also, [[DarthWiki/SpiriTsunami apparently doesn't know when to shut up.]]

So, anyway, the slightly bizarre username is based off of a character I'd [=RPed=] for awhile on a now-defunct board. I'm also known as Cyberchao X on [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/485786/ fanfiction.net]] and [[http://www.fictionpress.com/u/535461/ fictionpress.com]].

Trying to cut back on using examples from ''[[http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2589022/1/Dream_Book_of_Alania Dream]]'', at least while it's still in progress, on the other pages, but since this is my page, I'm going to promote it without shame here. You know, one of these days I'm going to need to come up with a better name for that thing... (This is now linked to the Book of Alania. Both links can be found on the page I created for ''Dream'' here on the wiki--see below.)

[[ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime Prone to not thinking before acting.]] [[WhatWereYouThinking If I do something stupid, please feel free to call me on it.]] [[note]]I see that's already been done...[[SarcasmMode Thanks a buttload, CrazyGoggins]][[/note]]

Also, despite not being from [[DeepSouth the South]] (though I ''did'' live there from May 1993 to May 1994), I'm in favor of the use of the word "y'all" as a second-person plural, since the official English one is ''exactly the same'' as the second-person singular and that's just confusing. It bothers me that some people from that region use it as if it were just a replacement for the word "you" (regardless of singular/plural), because it's a contraction of "you all". This is just another opinion that I feel like putting here.

Currently in the process of writing a college research paper based on a trope. Really. In case you're wondering, it's [[RealityIsUnrealistic this one]].
* You finished with that paper yet? [[ThisTroper We]] are interested to read it when it becomes available.
** Ah, I forgot all about that! I'll see if I can remember where I put it...
*** Any luck finding it?
**** Forgot to look for it. Again.
***** It's probably gone for good now with a recent (January 2012) computer crash, but I've got [[http://www.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/7/5/10752163/kodomo_no_jikan.ppt something else to upload]] that never would've come about if not for TV Tropes introducing me to this ''wonderful'' series. (In case you hadn't guessed, I'm extremely pissed off about P5.)

Also, my beloved Lehigh Valley Fire are back on top! [[http://www.arml.com/index.php See here.]] As I mentioned in my summary of ''DarthWiki/ParkPlace'', I was on the team that won it all in '05.

Recently joined the TroperDatingService. Remember, I generally prefer girls my own age or slightly younger. ;)

Tropes that apply to me:
* DeadpanSnarker
* GameOfNerds. To the ''extreme. Dream'' has an entire league's worth of teams, one for each MLB team--and mercifully, TheWildcats was averted
** TearJerker--I also have a baseball blog at mlblogs.com. You can find it [[http://passedball.mlblogs.com/ here.]] I actually start to tear up near the end when I wrote [[http://passedball.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/04/and_then_something_tragic_come.html this one]], enough of a reaction that I moved something else I was going to put in the blog to an earlier paragraph so it wouldn't get in the way.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny--That's Attention Deficit ''Hyperactivity'' Ooh Shiny, ''thank you very much''!
** {{Keet}}--comes with the territory.
* NoEnding--Too many fanfics left unfinished. Then there's ''Dream'', which has been more or less continually worked on since January of 2004. There ''will'' be an ending. I have no idea what it is.
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday--I wouldn't mention it so much if I wasn't so damn effeminate. I'm not a manly man, I realize it. But the sensitive types always win out in the end, damnit!
* [[ShamelessSelfPromoter Have I Mentioned I Have An Epic Fantasy Story On Fictionpress Today]]--The Shameless Self-Promotion will only get worse, eventually. Once I've got more reviews for ''Dream'' and have gotten closer to putting up the end (either on fictionpress or, hopefully, as a real manga), I've already got a {{Fanfiction}} started for it. Yes, a fanfiction of my own work. This actually works because it's a crossover with an established work. So yeah...

Pages that I've started:

** [[Characters/AxisMundi Characters: Axis Mundi]]
* ''{{Bakugan}}'' (well, expanded a stub into a legitimate article)
* ''{{Building 12}}''
* ''{{Castle}}''
* ''Literature/{{Dream}}''. Yes, more [[ShamelessSelfPromoter Shameless Self Promotion]]. But it's just got ''so many tropes''...and most of them were invoked before I'd even found this place.

''AvatarAndTheAirbendingFellowshipOfVampireSlayers'' episodes I've recapped:
* AATAFOVS/NucleusRises (second half)
* AATAFOVS/{{Revelations}}
* AATAFOVS/ShadowOfABender
* AATAFOVS/TheDarkGates
* AATAFOVS/BehindTheShadows
* [[AATAFOVS/{{TWGTEARLACTTPASFLO}} The Writers Gave This Episode A Really Long And Confusing Title To Prevent Any Spoilers From Leaking Out]]

Other reasons why [[SmallNameBigEgo I rock:]]
* Fixed AllBlueEntry so that it ''is'' a true AllBlueEntry. Also did the same for TropersDoItWithoutNotability, although that was just a matter of fixing some bad markup that left a little bit outside the {{Pot Hole}}s.
* Found a qualifier for TropeOverdosed: ''TalesOfSymphonia''. Yes, for the time being, I have to throw in ''TalesOfPhantasia'', the, um, un-prequel (that is, the game that ''Symphonia'' is a [[BetterKnownSequel Better Known Prequel]] of), but it'll qualify soon enough.
* Set up the redirect allowing the word {{egregious}} to be linked directly to the TVTropesDrinkingGame.

Tropes found in my other main fictionpress work, ''[[http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2335712/1/Conn_AM Conn. A&M]]'':
* FoeYay: The Boston-New York sports rivalry is at the heart of the narrative, even though it's just as much a love story as a sports story. Well, about 50-50.
* LesYay: And ''lots of it''.
* CaliforniaUniversity: Averted in the sense that there's no "high school" being continued, and also in that the main characters' high school friends occasionally show up as students of other universities, but applied in that it is ''totally'' a fictional university--I made absolutely sure of that before I named it.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Since the whole "Boston fan/New York fan" thing was so critical, I just ''had'' to have the Giants and Patriots playing in the Super Bowl.
** {{Defictionalization}}: It was written in March of 2007 (well, [[DeadFic the part where I identified the matchup was]], anyway) and set for the following Super Bowl, in February of 2008. The Giants and the Patriots ''did'' play each other in that Super Bowl. The outcome was different, though.
* LatinLover (Maribel)
* FieryRedhead (Caroline)
* AllGuysWantCheerleaders (and apparently, so do some girls)
* NakedFirstImpression: Twice; first when the roommates first meet (Caroline arrived first and was changing in the locked room when Mari arrived with the other key), then when the girls showed up at Maribel's family's Florida vacation house for spring break and found Mari's older brother already there with a girl.
** NakedOnArrival (second example only, as Mari's brother had only briefly been mentioned before the girls walked in on him having sex with a girlfriend that ''neither'' of them knew about.)
* SlapSlapKiss: For quite awhile. The two leads start off like a TakahashiCouple and only eventually lighten up.
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: Maribel's still not willing to admit her feelings. She has sort acknowledged Caroline as [[IfItsYouItsOkay an exception]].
* TransparentCloset: Averted; no one else seems to suspect either of them of being lesbians (although as I said before, Maribel's "straight with an exception"). Well, okay, there were some suspicions at the Super Bowl party, but those people were too drunk to remember it in the morning.
* SarcasticConfession: Caroline's "outing herself" when completely falling-down drunk--[[spoiler:or rather, doing a damn good impression of drunkenness.]]
* AuthorAppeal: Um, hello, [[YuriFanboy yuri?]] Also, lots of stuff about sports. The character designs were also kind of made with some of my own tastes in mind, although I find that I like Maribel more than Caroline, which goes counter to my expectations.
* RetCon: My procrastination has gotten the best of me, and what was once a fictionalization of what would essentially be the present, but actually slightly into the future, has become the recent past. This means working what I already know about the sporting events (and only tangentially sports-related events, including something a lot like the scene that I'd had in my mind when I conceived this thing) into the continuity. In a purer story-based standpoint, I had to rewrite a chapter after I found that it conflicted with an earlier statement.
