Hey there. I'm Aspie. Won't tell you my real name cause I don't know who you are. What?! That does
not make me a
Conspiracy Theorist! Take that back! Well, to prove I'm not one, I will tell you some things about myself. I live in the great state of Washington where I attend Seattle University. I'm 23 years old and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Forensic Psychology. (And yes, I do watch
Criminal Minds.) My favorite type of literature is the detective novel. (Big shocker right?) I also love anime and manga. My favorite (naturally) is
Case Closed. My favorite authors are Lisa Gardner and Robert Crais, and my favorite band is
Nickelback.
Tropes I've Launched:
Oh, and one more thing: I have Asperger's Syndrome.
Tropes this troper provides examples of:
- Asperger's Syndrome: Given my username, that goes without saying
- Berserk Button:
- Being cut off in the middle of sentences
- Vegetarians who act like they're morally superior because they don't eat meat, as though plants aren't just as alive as animals.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: I consistently get A's in all classes and I have a 3.875 grade point average, but I have this quirk of plugging in my Zune and rocking out to the music while I'm walking places. Also, I mutter story ideas to myself in public.
- Butt Monkey: I was bullied a lot in elementary school, middle school, and high school. The Butt Monkey-ness tapered off when I entered college, by which time I had stopped caring about popularity anyway.
- Captain Obvious: On occasion.
- Catch Phrase:
- "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness."
- "What do they think I am? A moron?" (When receiving an obvious piece of junk mail/virus mail.)
- Celebrity Crush: On Sarah Michelle Gellar.
- Celibate Hero
- Could Say It But:
- Would absolutely never say that the officiating crew in Superbowl XL cheated the Seahawks out of a win.
- Subverted when a book called "Your Government Failed You" was donated to the Value Village where I work:
Me: I could make a snarky comment about that
(beat) so I will.
- Cursed with Awesome: Other people call Asperger's Syndrome a disability. I call it the best thing that ever happened to me.
- Deadpan Snarker: I usually avert this one, but sometimes I play it straight. Sometimes, I even direct the snark at myself.
- Does Not Like Shoes: I wear them in public, but I usually take them off at home.
- Dude, Not Funny!: I don't get told this a lot, but I did once say this about a guy who told a really offensive Asperger's joke.
- Embarrassing First Name: Subverted. I almost had the embarassing name (first and last) of Raymond McQueed, but I was put for adoption, so I got named something else. With no offense intended to my birth mother, thank goodness for that.
- Genre Savvy: I have moments of this. For example, I correctly guessed that Mona Vanderwaal would turn out to be A before ever reading a single word of the books or reading a single article about them. (In fact, I made that guess after watching the first few minutes of the pilot.))
- Grammar Nazi: Only towards myself and even then my grammar isn't right 100% of the time. However, I do have this quirk of using correct English even in online conversations.(As opposed to using Leet Lingo.)
- Insistent Terminology: I should only have to say this once: It is Asperger's Syndrome. It is not Asperger's Disease. (And yes, I have heard it called that before.)
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
- Leitmotif: If I had one, it would be "Outcast" by James Durbin.
- Megane
- My Friends... and Zoidberg: I had this to say on the lineup for the 2011 American Music Awards:
"The performance lineup for this year's American Music Awards will be comprised of a number of talented musicians. Oh, and
Justin Bieber."
- Nice Guy: I try to be one.
- Nice Hat: I have handmade replica of Naoto's hat from Persona 4.
- Proud to Be a Geek: Hell yeah!
- Real Men Wear Pink: I'm probably one of the unmasculine guys there is...and I'm damn proud of it.
- Wholesome Crossplayer: I went to Sakura-Con 2010 as Naoto Shirogane. (Mind you, it helped that Naoto herself is a Wholesome Crossdresser, so the costume was actually male. It still counts as "crossplay" because the character is female.)
- Rummage Fail: Has done this before.
- Seattle
- Writing by the Seat of Your Pants
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Subverted. I tried to dye my hair blue in high school, but my hair was too dark, so the dye didn't take. Should've bleached it first, but didn't want to in case I changed my mind later. Played straight with Rynn Miller, the main character in a novel I'm writing. Then again, maybe not, since I can't stop rewriting the story, let alone decide what color her hair should be.
Some Stuff I Like
Things I don't like
Justin Bieber - Because if people with a meidocre singing voice were meant to be a stars,
I would've been huge.
Some fan-made music video's I created.
- Dark Cloud 2 - Livin On A Prayer
. This one was my first. Oh, and I have my first name at the end of this one, so if you wanna know it, there it is. Also, I do know that I wrote gamestop instead of gamespot.
- Death Note - Taking Back Control. This is my personal favorite. Enjoy.
- Naruto - Faith. Uses clips solely from episode one of Naruto. I had fun with this one.
- Victorious - Dance Forever I didn't like this one as much as the others, since one of the source videos I used was really grainy and there wasn't a lot of selection either, but I couldn't bring myself to delete it.
Put comments and stuff here. Have fun, but please sign them.
You sound a lot like me. Maybe because of
Asperger Syndrome.
Rainbow Dust
You sound quite different from me. I wish I had something to specialize in, but I'm just a clerk. Your tastes are different too. Officially diagnosed with AS?
Bonsai Forest Yes. When I was six.
I got Aspergers too, but I'm not lucky in love or in life. But I see you like Victorious which I like too. Let me guess- you're a dude, right?
Arnoldmcguire335 Yes. I am a guy. I checked out your page, we have quite a bit in common. I see your also a fan of H2O - Just add water. I got hooked on that after I checked it out on youtube and watched all three seasons in a week and a half.
It's all right. We
all know who you are... (as you can guess, I like to mess with
conspiracy theorists' minds.
Amused Troper Guy That's okay, I'm not really a Conspiracy Theorist. I just pretend to be one for laughs. Or maybe I am.
