Hi there. I'm JR Pictures. Troper, Nerd, Geek, Gamer, Movie Buff, TV Watcher and Pop Culture aficionado from the Land Down Under (I have a Lebanese background). And as you can see No Fourth Wall. I have a hatred for school and Lampshade everything in sight.
TV Tropes has ruined, enhanced, changed my vocabulary and given me a gateway drug simultaneously while teaching me what is Egregious and the most confusing trope to say a.k.a. Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness.
As for my history/Meta Origin, I'm not sure when I started loving movies but I know I started loving them at a young age. But why you ask maybe it's because it's an escape from reality where anything is possible. Watching movies just makes me happy and allows me to forget my troubles for an hour or more. That is why I intend to make films.
In reality I'm more or less a decent (albeit strange) person, whom distracts himself from real life with movies, TV, video games and this site. My own low self esteem causes me to buy the idea I can't have a successful life (girlfriend, family etc.) apart from making movies. Plus my own self awareness has me acknowledge every part of it. Along with that I have a hard time trusting people in real life.

Also, if you have the time, have a look at my unpublished work Film School and its Characters Page and feel free to give me feedback.
Check out my trope page for my current RP: The Humongous Mecha RP.
I have an obsession with Movies, TV and Video Games and they tend to be the only things I talk about. (I also have no to little interest for other topics of conversation)
I'm very anti-social, communicating mostly with friends, family and people I generally know. I also tend not to look people in the eye when talking to them, I find eye contact grating.
I mispronounce words wrong sometimes and have issues with saying R and W words. I also speak fast many times.
I get lost in my own mind thinking about things and I bite my nails a lot.
Everybody Hates Mathematics: Yeah I hate it. I hate it alot. It's hard, it's pointless and the fact it has to do with everyday life annoys me A LOT. Which is why filmmaking has little to do with it. Don't tell me otherwise.
Mr. Imagination: Truthfully I made up a million (Well not exactly) movie ideas that can work. Hell take a look at my Unpublished Work Film School and tell me that is not a good idea.
MSTing: It's my favourite thing to do when watching everything.
No Social Skills: More like lack of social skills. I don't take much interest in topics of conversation other than movies, tv or pop culture.
I'm especially terrible when answering the phone. I often forget to ask who's calling, can't tell who's talking and forgets details of some calls. I often just pass the phone quickly to my family without telling them who it is.
Not a Morning Person: Zig-zagged. I have my alarm set to 6am on weekdays so I could get ready for school faster. But that doesn't count for the weekend, in which wake-up times vary.
Shrinking Violet: When I'm not being snarky or hammy I tend to be this especially in school classes and social events.
Signature Style: Oh I make works which are self-referential and generally troperiffic. (with use of tropes that play them straight, subvert, avert, invert, lampshade, parody, deconstruct, reconstruct... basically raping every trope possible.)
I also like protagonists having the same personality as me.
Smarter Than You Look / Bunny-Ears Lawyer: I'm much more intelligent than I look. I tend to think about all aspects of life and often have philosophical ideals to some parts of it all. I'm being awfully sincere here mind you and I can credit this site to inspiring some of my thoughts.
The Smurfette Principle: Inverted, I'm pretty much the only boy in my drama class. (I say pretty much as there have been at least one other boy but they end up leaving or quitting and I'm the only one dedicated to the subject.)
Theory of Narrative Causality: I like to think that life is a movie centred around yourself. It is however a funny, cruel and depressing movie in my case.
