I'm a twenty-three-year-old female college student, from the USA.

Quite intelligent yet highly neurotic and eccentric. Brains like this ain't free. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 13, but it's no longer affecting my life to a significant point. All I've got to show for it is a spectacularly messy room and moments of questionable mental presence. My social skills kind of suck right now, but that's just because, until recently, I lived in The middle of nowhere with no social contact with anyone except through a computer.

I'm into video games, books, movies and anime, but I'm very very picky about my titles. When it comes to video games I tend to like retro Nintendo system games, puzzle games, pick-up-and-play (read: Wii) games, and serial games. I can count the anime I've seen all the way through on one hand. As for movies, I have a strange attraction to things known for being so bad they're good and riffing the crap out of them. I suppose it happens when you watch too much content from TGWTG.

I'm a fan of the following anime and manga:

• Azumanga Daioh
• Dragon Ball Z
• Hellsing
• Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni
• Rozen Maiden
• Sailor Moon
• Serial Experiments Lain
• Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu
• Weiss Kreuz
• Yu Yu Hakusho
• Franken Fran

And of the following video games:

• Devil May Cry
• Xenosaga
• Chrono Trigger
• Final Fantasy X
• Portal
• Team Fortress 2
• Super Mario Bros. and most of its derivatives
• Soul Calibur
• Mortal Kombat
• Ace Attorney
• Ōkami
• Dragon Age
• Skyrim

And of the following films:

• V for Vendetta
• Judge Dredd
• Mulan
• Corpse Bride
• Kickassia
• Hocus Pocus
• Star Wars
• A Clockwork Orange

And of the following TV shows:

• Mythbusters
• Penn and Teller: Bullshit!
• Cosmos

And of the following literature:

• Harry Potter
• Also Sprach Zarathustra
• Principia Discordia
• The Time Machine

I'm a huge fan of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses and many of its contributors. Especially Linkara.

Tropes I Have Examples Of

• Absent-Minded Professor: Horrible short term memory.

• Berserk Button (Touching me without my implicit consent, that plant from Little Shop of Horrors)
• Blessed with Suck: Hoo boy, Asperger's Syndrome.
• Brawn Hilda: I've always been ridiculously masculine and aggressive. About the only thing I don't have for this trope is being foreign.
• Brilliant, but Lazy
• Brief Accent Imitation: I've been known to drop into any one of the following accents for no apparent reason: Australian (I'm told I'm really good at it), New York (To compensate for being from the South) Scottish (To compensate for being American) and English (Specifically some weird amalgam of Manchester and Norfolk)
• Butch Lesbian: Soft butch to be exact.
• City Mouse
• Deadpan Snarker
• Defective Detective
• Dumb Blonde: Inverted. Although...
• Ditzy Genius: I have Schrodinger's brain. I'm both a genius and an idiot.
• Cute Clumsy Girl
• Genius Bruiser
• Catch Phrase:
  • "Indeed."
  • "This I gotta see."
  • "I have...no idea what's going on."
  • "This won't end well."

• Mood Swinger: On a nearly bipolar level. But I'm not bipolar.
• Not a Morning Person: And how.
• Real Women Never Wear Dresses: At least after I got into high school. I used to dress like a delusional hippie. I had a teacher who actually told my parents not to let me wear dresses to school because of too many I See London incidents. It sort of stuck.
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness
• The Southpaw
• Verbal Tic
• Why Did It Have To Be Maggots
