Hullo. Fairly new troper here, but a long-time reader. Often found on the TRS boards for now; I comment a lot. I'm actually pretty friendly and try to be helpful - I don't mean to butt heads with anyone. I come here to relax between classes and work, not to be antagonistic.

I write things, then go back and tweak them, and also edit pages multiple times to correct myself. I'm fidgity like that, don't be alarmed.

• Lad-ette: Milder example, but often tries to be One of the Boys (with limited success) and identifies more with traditionally male roles (being competitive, drinking, wanting to be physically strong, playing Video Games and Dungeons & Dragons, an aversion to typical romantic genres of...anything, etc).
