History Tropers / CompletelyNormalGuy

If you're reading this, I suppose you're reading my troper page. Do people still do that? I guess the fact that you're here proves that they do. Or at least you do. I can't speak for anyone else. Anyway, if you're here, I suppose you want to know something about me, so I guess I should stop talking about you. Where to start...

I'll say this right up front: My name here is a lie. My forum title is probably also a lie. However, that is the limits of my deception; [[SincerityMode everything else I say on this site will be the truth, at least to the best of my knowledge.]]

Beyond that, I suppose I'm just another person with a weird sense of humor (but you already knew that didn't you?), who may or may not be all there (hint: I'm not). If you're just concerned about how to deal with me, don't worry about it. It takes a lot to get on my bad side. Unless you possess the level of stupidity that's normally only found in reality show contestants, or so little moral fiber that [[EvenEvilHasStandards even lawyers are embarrassed to be seen with you]], I'm sure we'll get along just fine.

In real life, I am a college graduate with a degree in psychology,living in [[{{Seattle}} that city with all the rain and the coffee shops.]]

* TheKlutz: I have this problem with [[StaircaseTumble stairs.]] Okay, maybe I trip on things a lot as well.

[[folder:Stuff I really like]]

* Actually just everything by Creator/QuentinTarantino

* ''Series/TheRockfordFiles'': Remember what I said earlier about heroic tricksters and con men? Yeah.
* ''Series/BurnNotice'': I enjoy this one for much the same reason as Rockford

* Music/{{Helloween}}: They never take themselves seriously, and they missed the memo that it isn't the eighties anymore. That's part of what makes them awesome.

* Music/NocturnalRites: Isn't that a pretty kickass name for a power metal band? Their music more than lives up to it.

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}: A colorful cast of characters, an interesting, if silly story, beautiful visuals, and fun gameplay.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': The early stuff is crap, but it's certainly nice to watch how Dan grows as an author. The current art is beautiful, and the plot is coming together a lot better.

I used to do a NoodleIncident signature thingy. Unfortunately, I'm not the most interesting person in the world, so my pool of stories ran out rather quickly. All of them are based on real events. If one of them particularly piques your curiosity, just ask, and I'll probably give more explanation.

* CutToIndex

* AccidentalPun: I found this one years ago as an example-less stub that didn't go through YKTTW. I gave it a proper description, as well as its first example (which later became the page quote). I put it on an index or two, and wiki magic took over from there.

* BathroomBreakout: I may have been a little bit drunk when I came up with the idea for this one.

* ''Liturature/{{Paprika}}'': Another lovely MindScrew, and this one explores the nature of reality itself.

* ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger''It overcomes many of the flaws of the FinalFantasy series while managing to feel like a pulp adventure. What's not to like?
* ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'': This game is much more enjoyable if you think of it as a stand alone game, rather than the sequel to ''ChronoTrigger'' Also, ignore the part with the dwarves. It never happened.
* ''VideoGame/{{Portal}]'' This is one of those games that plays with video game conventions in a fun and interesting way.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''

* AndYouThoughtItWasAGame:
* ThisIsNoTimeForKnitting:

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Roleplays, past present and future]]
* There's a Dragon in My Driveway: OldShame. A comedic urban fantasy that I tried to run once. It died, and nobody mourned.
* The Seekers: [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13616855690A96624200 It died.]] It was a complicated paranormal mystery. Unfortunately, its flaws eventually caught up to it.
* Night of the Scary Thing: Only an idea at this point. An homage to b horror movies. Characters get killed in gruesome, narm-filled ways. Plot holes and cheese abound.
* Mind Games: A Psychic RP, still in the idea stage draws heavily from {{Psychonauts}}, but with a mysterious slant.
* Search for the Lost City and Other Adventures: A pulp adventure RP set in the 30s. Draws heavily from IndianaJones and {{Tintin}}, Again, still in the idea stage
* If any of these look interesting to you, please tell me.

I'll say this right up front: My name here is a lie. My forum title is probably also a lie. However, that is the limits of my deception; [[SincerityMode everything else I say will be the truth, at least to the best of my knowledge.]]

Unless you possess the level of stupidity that's normally only found in reality show contestants, or so little moral fiber that even lawyers are embarrassed to be seen with you, I'm sure we'll get along just fine.

* ''{{Baccano}}'': Many authors have gone their entire life without writing a single well rounded and interesting character. That makes it that much more impressive when someone writes so many in a single series.
* ''{{Durarara}}'': It's even more impressive that he managed to do it again.
* ''{{Mononoke}}'': Episodes vary from unsettling to terrifying. The art style is beautifully strange.

* ''CalvinAndHobbes'': Sure, it had it's flaws, such as Watterson's tendency to rant about how NewMediaAreEvil, but it's good points more than make up for it.
* ''{{Tintin}}''
* ''{{Watchmen}}'': It's the definitive graphic novel. Not just because of its quality, which is high, but because it does things with the medium that can't be done anywhere else.

* ''IndianaJones'': Beautifully pulpy. I prefer Raiders and the Last Crusade, but the other two are fine.

* ''{{Paprika}}'': Another lovely MindScrew, and this one explores the nature of reality itself.

* ''ToyStory'': Let's forget for a second about its place in the history of film, and the animation techniques it pioneered. It's still a great story. I love the whole series.

* ''LordOfTheRings'': It's an all time classic. I've read all three books more times than I can remember.
* Anything ''{{Discworld}}'': These books are a great look at both modern society and storytelling conventions. More importantly though, they're funny as hell.
* ''GoodOmens'': This is the funniest book I've ever read.
* ''TheScrewtapeLetters'': This is a very close second.

* ''DrWho'': Most of you guys already watch it so there's not too much to say. A GuileHero on epic adventures through time and space.
* ''TheRockfordFiles'': Remember what I said earlier about heroic tricksters and con men? Yeah.
* ''GhostWatch'': An old BBC Halloween special. It's basically like ''ParanormalActivity'' except actually scary.

* Music/FloggingMolly: My introduction to punk. I've always been fond of their fusion of the traditional and the modern.

* {{Kamelot}}: Despite being American, they play a nice symphonic variant of European style power metal. Add a dash of world music for taste.
* {{Helloween}}: They never take themselves seriously, and they missed the memo that it isn't the eighties anymore. That's part of what makes them awesome.

* ''{{Morrowind}}'': It had its flaws, sure. It was buggy as hell, and the character models looked kind of ugly. Still though, Bethesda created a beautiful world with this game.
* ''ChronoTrigger''It overcomes many of the flaws of the FinalFantasy series while managing to feel like a pulp adventure. What's not to like?
* ''ChronoCross'': This game is much more enjoyable if you think of it as a stand alone game, rather than the sequel to ''ChronoTrigger'' Also, ignore the part with the dwarves. It never happened.
* ''Portal'' This is one of those games that plays with video game conventions in a fun and interesting way.
* ''{{Iji}}'': So is this.
* ''FinalFantasy'': I've only managed to get through 6, 7 and 8, but I liked those ones.
* ''SuperMarioGalaxy''

* ''ElGoonishShive'': The early stuff is crap, but it's certainly nice to watch how Dan grows as an author. The current art is beautiful, and the plot is coming together a lot better.
* ''GunnerkriggCourt'': The blend of mystery, adventure, and mythology is impossible to resist. The top-notch writing helps.
* ''OrderOfTheStick'': Another one of those really self-aware, funny things.
* ''{{Paranatural}}'': Some of the most beautiful art you'll ever see. It's a strange tale of wonder set in a WorldOfHam.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Because anyone reading this page has likely already seen it, there's no point in talking about it.
* ''PhineasAndFerb'': Also known as "Variations on a Formula: The Animated Series."

* AndYouThoughtItWasAGame: This one could use a re-name at some point. Eventually a spot will open up in TRS.
* ThisIsNoTimeForKnitting: Same as above. The name really isn't that clear.

** I live right next to Greek Row, so I tend to see weird things from time to time. This was something that I witnessed as I left to go grocery shopping. Oddly enough, the guy who did this was completely sober.

* The Seekers: [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13616855690A96624200 It died.]] It was a complicated paranormal mystery. Unfortunately, its flaws eventually caught up to it

* ''{{Homestuck}}'': This is a work that really stretches the limits of its medium. I'm not even sure it can even be called a webcomic anymore. Either way, it's beautiful

I'm just another random troper. If you're reading this, that probably means you're on my contributor page. Go ahead and leave some vandalism or something. It's a pleasure to meet you.

In real life, I am a college graduate with a degree in psychology, and am roughly as nerdy as you would expect a troper to be. I come from a big, but not very screwed-up family, and I live in [[{{Seattle}} that city with all the rain and the coffee shops.]]

[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mbfg_7599.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:225:@/{{Rockonman}} gives this seal.]]

* ApologizesALot: I'm not one of those people who apologizes for everything, but I do apologize every time I tell a bad joke. For me, that qualifies as a lot.
* {{Asexuality}}: If I'm ever in a roleplay, or writing a short story, and you wonder how anyone can fail that hard at realistically writing sexual attraction, this is my excuse.

** Like i say, EVERYONE in Tv Tropes is a DeadpanSnarker one way or the other. -@/EternalNoob
* {{Hyperawareness}}: Often combined with a solid dose of IThoughtEveryoneCouldDoThat.

* TheOtherRainforest: It's where I hail from.

* SweetTooth: I frequently crave pies and cookies and the like. People sometimes use them to bribe me.

* WeirdnessMagnet: Let's just say I went to a weird high school, and leave it at that.

[[/folder]]

* ''GhostHunt'': This was my introduction to the medium, so my opinion of it may not be entirely accurate. Imagine Series/GhostHunters, only in a world where ghosts actually exist.

* ''Sleep Dealer'': Because everyone needs one film on their list that no one else has ever heard of. It's a Mexican science fiction film that looks at how Americans view Mexico and Mexicans. It also has some nice homage to ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''Film/TheDamBusters''.
* ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'': Films that have made Normal Guy cry count: one.

* Music/LedZeppelin: The one, the onlye HAMMER OF THE GODS!

* Music/{{Nightwish}}: You're walking through a dark forest under a full moon. Aren't the shadows beautiful tonight?
* Music/DreamTheater: Complex, but not at the expense of emotion.

* Dark Moor: Your average power metal band probably likes Beethoven and Mozart quite a bit. Dark Moore is what happens when a band likes them even more.
* Social Distortion: If Music/JohnnyCash was a punk rocker, the music world would have no need for Mike Ness. He wasn't, so we do.
* Rival Sons: Blues rock should be played hard and loud, how God and Music/LedZeppelin intended it. These guys know that.
* BlindGuardian: Bombastic and over-the-top in a very self-aware manner. Then again, what else do you expect from a power metal band who listens to too much Music/{{Queen}}?

* ''ChronoCross'': This game is much more enjoyable if you think of it as a stand alone game, rather than the sequel to ''ChronoTrigger''

If there's anything else you think I'd like, write it down in the vandalism section. I'll probably check it out. It's also possible that it's already one of my favorites and I just forgot about it.

[[folder:Old signatures, and some of them are even de-noodled]]

Once upon a time, there was this guy named Martin who really loved this girl at school named Lucy. After days and days of struggling to profess his feelings for Lucy, Martin finally found the courage to approach her and tell her, "Lucy, I am madly in love with you; I would do anything for you, even ''die'' for you." Lucy then replied, "Martin, I'm touched. That is the most moving thing anyone has ever told me... So was there any way in particular you prefer to die?

Also, I got this whole mess of crazy that my family and relatives have been getting as an apparent "holiday greeting card" from these distant cousins of mine. This is the most insane Christmas card I have ever come in contact with (worse than Glenn Beck 2010) in my life. Hell, FUCK THAT! This is crazier than ''JohnnyMnemonic''! Yeah, I said it! But here it is, anyway--the worst, most insane Christmas card in the world. This '''NEEDS''' to be shared with the Internet. Save for a few censored details here and there (names of places and stuff), this letter is unchanged and untouched. --@/SeanMurrayI
--> We managed to get through 2011 without moving anywhere and without losing or changing jobs. I still work for forensic investigators (accidental or suspicious fires) and Joe is still Managing Director at [REDACTED] Cemetery in [Redacted]. My neighborhood has several more new houses and unfortunately we have discovered that our next door neighbor is the neighborhood busybody and troublemaker. The wife especially (husband/wife in their 50s). She has some kind of abnormal fear or hate for plants, trees, flowers, etc., and in the Spring, she pulled out all of the greenery that the builder planted at her house. It stayed that way all Summer while the homeowners association continued to threaten her. She finally planted new greenery at the front foundation in October. We are not allowed to have holiday lighting except between December 1 and January 1. She put up weird orange lights for Halloween and left them on until Thanksgiving, finally changing them out for Christmas lights. Back to her hatred of plants: Joe did a lot of landscaping around our house and set up sprinklers everywhere something needed to be watered. She complained we were getting her grass wet on the borderline between our property and hers (freak!) then went so far as to pull out our sprinkler heads when we were not home, and denied it when we confronted her. We threatened to file a trespassing complaint. She retaliated by calling the police and saying we threatened her with a gun. Total lie. As it turns out, she's a pathological liar with a long history. There are several internet stories where she stirred up trouble at previous neighborhoods, restaurants, hotels, etc., each time making up some absurd lie, sometimes even bringing in the news media to spread her craziness. We ended up spending a few thousand dollars to put up a fence so that she cannot trespass. Well it protects the backyard at least. Fences are not permitted in the front yard. We will finally make the final payment on that big expense this month (well worth it, but I was hoping to buy it after we saved for it, not sooner). Everyone in the neighborhood hates this woman now and they all know the trouble she's made for us (they have their own stories to tell, too....she actually trespassed in someone's back yard while they were in their hot tub, surrounded by curtains for privacy....she opened the curtains to greet them. Yes, really!) Joe and I are convinced we are freak magnets. If there's a freak to be found, they will find us, and probably live next door. I know Joe wants to move again, but that's not going to happen unless we win the lottery. I am exhausted about moving. I hope the weirdo neighbor moves first. She supposedly never stays anywhere more than a year (it's been more than a year already at this address). She is overdue to move! Ha. ha. I hope you had a good year and that 2012 will be a good year for everyone.

** Here's this then: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7NvYu20114 Metropolis Part 2]] is about a man who learns that in a past life, he lived as a young girl who, along with her mother, got killed by the hypotenuse, Edward, in a love triangle. Then, in the last minute of the song, we learn that the hypnotist the main guy has been talking to is the reincarnation of Edward when he breaks into the main character's apartment and murders him. ~@/{{Rockonman}}
* Hey, you know [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13255847040A27160100&page=31#754 that praise I gave you for that way you referenced that REM song?]] Man, that ain't enough to honor what you did. To honor a posting display on the TVTropes fora as extraordinary as the posting display you recently made, I shall grant you, the honorable and gracious honor, The Charlie Sheen Seal of Win:

* ''WapsiSquare'': It's rather complicated, and I'm no longer sure the author knows where he's going with the story. Still the setting is nice and the characters are compelling. It has a weird combination of unsettling and adorable that I can't resist.
