• Absent-Minded Professor: Quite often.
• Adorkable
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: I haven't been officially diagnosed with ADD, but I have some of those traits.
• Awesome by Analysis: I have moments of this.
• Betty and Veronica: Which one I am depends on who the other guy is in the relationship. I come across as friendly and nice, and I don't treat women like shit. Basically the kind of guy you could take home to your mother. But I'm also very much Troubled, but Cute, and quite brooding to boot. And I have a dishonest streak.
• Big Eater: Om nom nom!
• Black and Grey Morality / Grey and Gray Morality: My world view. I believe that people can do genuinely good and evil deeds, but no one can be the physical avatar of good, as most of the "good" people and saints in history are significantly overrated, due to their bad qualities balancing out their good qualities, or due to having hidden agendas. In other words, I have no heroes. However, I do believe that Complete Monsters do exist, and that there is such a thing as an evil person. But most conflicts consist of Grey and Gray Morality.
• Classical Anti-Hero: I can't consider myself a hero, but if someone wrote a story about me, I would be this.
• Cloudcuckoolander: I live in my head more often than I do in the physical world, so I "space out" a lot.
• Creepy Monotone
• Dark and Troubled Past: Please don't talk to me about it...
• Dark Is Not Evil
• Deadpan Snarker
• Ditzy Genius: I'm not really a genius, but despite my intelligence, I do quite a few stupid things or don't notice things that are obvious.
• The Eeyore: Sometimes.
• Evil Laugh: Both offline and online. Offline, my laugh is quite demented, and online I'm prone to breaking out into... hehehehe... Hehaehaehhaaaeeee... Muahahahaaahaa... MWAHHAAAHAAAHHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
• The Existentialist
• Four Temperament Ensemble: *
  Like I actually put any stock in that pseudo-science. Sure bodily fluids affect someone's personality, I can totally buy into that shtick.
  Melancholic, spiked with Choleric and Phlegmatic.
• Good Feels Good: I'm usually not that selfless, but I like helping others all the same.
• Good With Numbers
• Goth: Not part of the sub-culture, but I wear lots of black, listen to gothic music from the early 80's, quite snarky and prone to depression.
• Hell-Bent for Leather: I have a thing for leather and jackets. Preferably both.
• Hollywood Atheist: Averted. Really, how can I hate a god that doesn't exist?
• Humans Are Morons / Humans Are Flawed: Another big philosophical viewpoint of mine.
• Ineffectual Loner
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: Yes!
• Intelligence Equals Isolation
• Large Ham: From time to time.
• Lazy Bum: Mostly averted, but played straight as well. Usually I work hard and don't slack on the job, and can be very driven over things I'm passionate about. But in my spare time I tend to just want to relax and not have to worry about chores.
• Mediocre Musician
• Messy Hair
• Nice Guy: Sort of...
  • Beware the Nice Ones
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Occasionally.
• No Social Skills: Downplayed, in that while I usually have decent social skills, I'm not that good socially either, and I still have awkward moments.
• The Perfectionist: I often go to great lengths to get something to be just right.
• Perma Stubble: Mainly because I don't bother to shave every morning.
• The Philosopher: An ability that is very impractical in the real world.
• Precision F-Strike: People don't expect me to be the swearing type, so when I do swear, they look at me in shock or laugh at me.
• Pride: One of my biggest flaws. Whether it means that I have higher expectations of myself without a good understanding of my limits, or because it makes me think that I have something sussed or under control, it causes me to screw myself over again and again.
• The Resenter: Why is there always someone who's better than me?!?
• Retraux: My music and movie tastes are falling further and further into this.
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: I often delve into this trope. Ironic, considering I had to copy and paste the name of this trope.
  • Sophisticated as Hell: I gotta tendency to say a lot of verbose words before throwing in a bit of colloquialisms and contractions.
• Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Somewhere in the middle, occasionally veering towards idealism or cynicism. I know this world has issues, but it's still salvageable. Except humankind won't be able to salvage it due to its stupidity. We're just doomed to make the same stupid mistakes again and again and every single human is a bumbling idiot, and sometimes an amoral scumbag too. However, humans are capable of making the right decision and doing good things. As for me, I'm not reconciled with the world, and while I don't believe I can change the world, I do believe that this world has things worth living for. I also have strong ideals I really want to live by.
• The Smart Guy: When there isn't someone smarter than me, I act as this.
• The Stoic: I feel emotions deeply, but I usually don't express how I'm feeling...
  • Not So Stoic: ...except for when I do express how I'm feeling.
• Straight Edge: I don't drink alcohol or take drugs, because I want to look after my brain and body.
• Super OCD: When it comes to this page.
• Tall, Dark and Handsome
  • Tall, Dark and Snarky: Quite often.
• Token Religious Teammate: Inverted. I'm an atheist who goes to a christian high school. Somewhat justified in that I was a christian when I first went to that school, but when I became an atheist, I had already paid for my school books and uniform, the teachers were good, and there wasn't a lot of drug and alcohol abuse or bullying. So I decided to stay anyway. Ironic, considering that I created this trope.
• Troubled, but Cute: Oh yeah...
• Tsundere: Type B, sometimes lapsing into A.
• When He Smiles
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: One of many reasons I'm not a Christian, Muslim or Jew. The way I see it, even if the Abrahamic God exists, I would still suffer a Fate Worse than Death regardless of whether I go to Heaven or Hell. After my body has died, my soul will live on forever and ever and ever and ever, and so my consciousness will not die with my body. I just wouldn't be able to die! And what's wrong with death anyway? Living forever isn't as good as it sounds, and death is as natural as breathing.
• The Woobie: Apparently, but I digress.

While I have heard about Anime for almost as long as I remember, the only Anime I've heard of until recently had been the cheap Anime that they show on TV after school like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Beyblade and Pokémon *

I'm a big fan of the video game, though.

. Basically the kind of thing they show on TV as a means of advertising some toys for children. I only recently discovered that there's good Anime & Manga out there, and now I'm out looking for the good stuff.

Here's a list of Anime & Manga I've taken a liking to. In the recent future, it will be quite short, but it will eventually grow:

• Code Geass
• Death Note

• Batman
• Calvin and Hobbes
• Footrot Flats
• Garfield
• Superman
• V for Vendetta
• Watchmen

Here is a list of artists that I like.

Here's a list of books I like reading. I used to read a lot when I was younger, but now I can't read for great, long periods, so I haven't read a lot lately.

• Artemis Fowl
• The Great Gatsby
• Harry Potter
• Lord of the Flies
• Lord of the Rings

I don't actually watch a lot of television, since it mostly consists of advertisements, mindless entertainment, advertisements, infomercials, and more advertisements. Sometimes I'll watch the news, or see one of those cheesy B-Movies when I'm really bored, but otherwise it stays turned off. But hey, if you dig deeply enough, you'll be able to find some gold nuggets amongst those terrible television shows.

Here's my list:

• Blackadder
• Black Books
• Doctor Who (The 2005-? reboot, although I liked what I saw of the old series)
• Father Ted
