Attention. This article is a work in progress (much like myself). It should also be known that this article
will come off as a major
grab for attention, so tread lightly...
Hammerhead is a 17 year old human located in Seattle. He is a pretentious a film, music, and food snob, and an extremely argumentative semi!loner who's a mass of contradictions. He will also attempt to out geek you in just about everything. Contrary to some of his tv habits and references, he is not
Canadian. He is from
Eagleland. Though he certainly would love to hold
Dual Citizenship. Also, I note: I rarely use the forums, and I don't know if I ever will.
Made the following articles:
- Scum (doubles, or rather triples as an article for the 1977 BBC Teleplay version, the 1979 theatrical version, and the 2010 remake, Dog Pound.
- Currently working on a couple more.
Tropes applying to him:
- Ambiguously Brown
- Apologizes Alot
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!. Surprisingly, while I do have ADHD, the part of it that least effects me is the short attention span.
- Bi the Way
- Celibate Hero
- Chivalrous Pervert
- Cloudcuckoolander: Or so I'm told..... I think it's stupid to brag about, though.
- Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch
- Control Freak
- Covert Pervert
- Dead Baby Comedy
- Deadpan Snarker
- Department of Redundancy Department
- Depraved Bisexual (despite the fact I'm a virgin)
- Ethical Slut: -ish.
- Friendless Background
- Furry Fandom: I recently came to the conclusion that yes, I am part of it. Though really, I am mostly into it for the often awesome art.
- Grammar Nazi: Kind of.
- Gratuitous Japanese: Defied. Despite knowing (and still learning) the language, I actively refuse to pepper my speech with it, あなたはばかげた人。私は馬鹿でではない。
- The Illegible
- Ineffectual Loner
- Intelligence Equals Isolation: (Somewhat Subverted in that while I might be of above average in intelligence, I'm certainly not a genius. Indeed, though I haven't taken an IQ test, I doubt my IQ surpasses 120 - if it's even that high. I would place bets on 110 to 115.)
- Jabba Table Manners
- Jerk With A Heart of Gold
- Just One More Level...
- Know-Nothing Know-It-All
- Loners Are Freaks
- Long List
- Mood Swinger Lite, now that I'm on Lithium.
- Nakama
- Nice Guy: At least when you first meet me...
- Nightmare Fetishist: I'm dead serious about this. You can show me just about anything, and it's not going to weird me out. A Serbian Film didn't effect me in the least bit (though I found it an interesting commentary on Serbia itself). Recitified Anonymity was a walk in the park. I plan on reading Agony in Pink.
- No Social Skills: It really depends.
- Orgasmically Delicious: I do this a lot due to the amazing food variety here in the Emerald City. It can get.... awkward for me.
- The Power of Friendship: Oddly enough...
- Real Men Wear Pink
- Self-Deprecation
- Serial Tweaker: AND HOW.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: The Loquaciousness particularly rings true, and this trope most often comes into play when I'm trying to write a short comment. You'll know it's me if my post is 90% longer than every other one. The same applies if I'm trying to tell a story.
- Soapbox Sadie: On the internet, anyway.
- Tsundere: Both Type A and Type B, depending on how well you know me. And yes, I'm male. It can still apply to me too, right?
- TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary
- Wangst: Reformed wangster; used to do it a lot, and while it may have been justified in Real Life, it was horribly uncalled for online. Around 16 or so, I got better.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes: Spiders, though only close up pictures of them anymore.
- Would Hit a Girl: As an ardent feminist, I thoroughly believe in this trope. If you insult my family, or do something to hurt me, don't be upset if I punch you and you just so happen to be a girl.

This Troper hates with a fiery passion:
On unrelated notes, if I
had to describe myself politically, it'd be: I'm a
Internationalist/Cosmopolite Social Democratic (as in; I support the Capitalist mode of production) Left-Libertarian borderline-Deist Agnostic. Whatever the hell
that is. Semi related to this are my
Berserk Buttons. They are:
- Nationalism. FUCK FUCK FUCKING FUCK FUCK! I can't even describe the seething hatred I have for Nationalism. Some amount of Nationalism is perfectly normal for any country, but the line at which it goes from "normal" to "extremist" is so thin that we wind up with things like the Holocaust, The Yugoslav Wars of the 90s, Imperial Japan in the 30s and 40, and that "Joe Canadian" guy from the Molson's Beer commercial.
- Bigotry. This should speak for itself.
- The Historical Hero Upgrade of people Che Guevara, Vladimir Lenin, and Leon Trotsky; hell, Marxist-Leninst Communism in general.
- SHIPPING. *vomits*
- Music snobs that aren't my type of music snob. Specifically, people who constantly bash mainstream pop music, but don't seem to even remotely understand how pop music works (how it's written, mainly) *cough* Todd In the Shadows *cough*. It enrages me to no end when people can't seem to remove their Nostalgia Goggles and claim that modern music, or at least modern mainstream music, sucks. Even if what they themselves listen to was mainstream at one point. Also, vice versa pisses me off; e.g. being called a "grandpa" for listening to music older than 1998.
In case you couldn't tell, for this troper,
Music is
SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS.
Please Add tropes that you think apply to me and/or Vandalize HERE:
I vandalized first. I feel accomplished.

Really? Thanks! I never got complimented for that before, so I... yeah. The country has its drawbacks, but... thanks! :) Re: taste, is it due to the TV Tropes list or my last.fm profile? Well, I guess we have something in common, even though I tend to feel stupid for overdoing the MUSIC IS SRS BSNS angle. Ya mind if I linkified some of your links? But yeah, there is some overlap in taste, so yers is good too! Could use more shoegazing/neopsychedelia. You hate Prince? Well, no problem, I viciously hate Björk. And some other bands that aren't on your list and aren't worth a mention, hahaha. XD -

Sorry for taking so long to get back, I'm on vacation now and the Internet access gets pretty erratic. And yes, I know what you mean, I think Prince suddenly went to the shitter starting in
The Nineties. Is thinking
Batman is his last good album crazier than not having a last.fm profile? :) TBH I was surprised you said
Love Symbol instead of the usual
Sign o' the Times, but hey, I totally wrecked up the Prince page once, so you prolly know my bias against his nineties stuff. (also agreed, he can be pretty frustrating to listen to sometimes.) If you want, I can either try helping with that list, or you can just skim my last.fm library, 'cos it's pretty large, innit? Heheheh. I'm pretty happy at your favourite bands list too! Just wish I could like Slint even more than I already do... Also TBH I don't really like noise rock, I just went through a phase of trying it. Much prefer noise pop or really loud neo-psychedelia. XD So, you on vacation too? :)
PS I think at one point you said you were planning on contributing to the Courtney Love page? How'd that work? -
Sen
Now I need to apologise for taking another month to reply. Sorry! Shit happens. :) Yeah, I meant out of school - 'cos I am as well right now. And you're right, your list is already hugeish. Probably bigger than mine at points, ROFL! I think I did the Courtney Love revamp, IIRC. Don't worry, I clog up yours too. >:) Well, have fun troping! Oh, and happy birthday in advance/lateness! XD -
