Tropers / Imipolex G

We'll meet again

Time is the substance of which I am made. Time is a river that sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that mangles me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire. The world, unfortunately, is real; I, unfortunately, am Borges.

— Jorge Luis Borges, A New Refutation of Time

Somewhat reclusive would-be writer. Took my name from Gravitys Rainbow.

I've never suggested or launched a trope, but have made minor edits to many of them.

Created the page for Under The Volcano.

For the sake of future forum height derails: I'm 6' 3" tall. That's about 190 cm for you metric folks.

Favorite Niels Bohr quote: "There are two sorts of truth: trivialities, where opposites are obviously absurd, and profound truths, recognised by the fact that the opposite is also a profound truth."
