These guys make everything better. Don't you deny it.
Greetings, fellow troper(s). I come in peace...for now.
Name: Mort08.
Meaning: Mort as in the lemur from Madagascar, and '08, as in 2008, when Madagascar 2 first came out.
Location: My own little world...
Life Story In A Nutshell: Female. Quirky. Somewhat disturbed. Photographic memory. Dropped on head as baby. Comes from family that's not very big but definitely screwed up. Loner. Frequently escapes to magical world inside head populated by favorite movie characters. Likes writing. Has written original stories, one short play and fanfiction. Has read Emma, Dracula and Frankenstein just for the hell of it. Does theatre, and lots of it. MAJOR Film and Western Animation fan. Favorite movies are (almost) all kids' flicks. TVTropes ruined my life.I couldn't be happier about it.
Alter Ego Acting: In the authors' notes of my fanfiction, I occasionally converse with my "dark side" in the form of a character I call CC Harker. Started as a Type 3, now it's more of a Type 1.
Archnemesis Dad: He's an emotionally abusive, misogynistic asshole.
Badass Online: In Real Life I'm a timid, quiet person with an inferiority complex who's been taught through years of verbal abuse that speaking up only leads to trouble. Here on TV Tropes I'm an outspoken girl who loves a good chat and isn't afraid to give the occasional Troll a good smackdown.
Berserk Button: Getting teased or mocked by adults. Double points if it's happening right in front of me, which it often is. Also, don't ask me about Bourbon Street. Just don't.
Big Screwed-Up Family: Let's see...my mom's a depressed cynic, my dad's a verbally abusive Jerkass, my brother is autistic and inadequate help has messed him up even more, my mom's relatives are almost all crazy inbreds, my dad's relative's are just plain crazy and we pretty much all hate each other. Can't wait until I'm 18.
Bilingual Bonus: I use this a lot in my fanfics. Mostly it's just for fun, but it's also very useful for leaving clues.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: If you need someone to memorize lines fast, you come to me. Period.
Country Matters: While I do not use the word, I have been called it. By my uncle. At age 12. I was not there at the time, and it probably wouldn't have mattered because I wouldn't have even known what it meant.
Crack Fic: My specialty. It stems from the fact that out of all the fanfic ideas I come up with, very few of them actually sound stupid.
Cultural Cringe: I find British humor far more clever and worthwhile than American humor.
The Ego: I'm viewed as the most sane person in my circle of friends and the glue that holds them all together. This should tell you something about my friends.
Q, who became friends with C, R, J and me and joined the group after we introduced him to B. He was The Quiet One at first, but he's really very energetic and hammy.
CC, a friend who serves as a translator of sorts between me and C. Also, I've trusted her with my life. More than once.
L, the local Hollywood Nerd. Very much a Gentleman Snarker. Always wears suits. Respected actor and playwright. Has a thing for argyle sweaters.
Generation Xerox: My grandmother married my grandfather, who was an asshole. She suffered his abuse so my mother could have a better life. My mother married my father, who is also an asshole. She suffers his abuse so I can have a better life. The way I see it, the only to break the cycle is for me to not get married. And I'd be okay with that.
Grammar Nazi: One thing I always look for and comment on when reading stories online is the grammar. It's more important than most people think.
Ham and Cheese: I once got to play a mostly-deaf old woman in a production of Robin Hood that was...let's just say it was troubled. I suffered in silence, learned my lines and did my best. The result? My single scene was one of the highlights of the show and a year later people still remembered me from it.
He Is Not My Boyfriend: Me with Q, although only once. It involved a stage kiss and a small child.
Heroic BSOD: I recently had a minor one on realizing that Padme Amidala is, in at least one aspect, even more pathetic than Bella freaking Swann. At least Bella would probably slap Edward if he got too creepy; Padme couldn't even do that to Anakin. For shame.
Lost World / Magical Land: I have one that takes up about 95% of my imagination. I play with it every day and populate it with my favorite characters from various sources. It's fun.
Mega Crossover: I have one constantly going on inside my head, taking place in the Magical Land mentioned above. I'm adding to it all the time.
Nerd: Although I'm occasionally in denial about it, I knew it was true when I found myself saying without any embarrassment whatsoever, "He's not British, he'sGallifreyan."
The Quiet One: Yes, really. When I'm around unfamiliar people, I don't talk at all. You want a conversation? You have to start it yourself. Once I get to know you, I'm much more outgoing.
Samus Is a Girl: My name is not Samus, but I am indeed a girl. Everyone got that?
Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: It was my normal method of writing...until it killed three of my stories after I realized I had no idea what I was doing. I've now resolved to do my preparation for such things.
I want that ride for my 16th birthday! Inclusion of Doctor is mandatory.
Token Good Team Mate- You don't swear often, your mind isn't as corrupted, vile, horrible, nasty ,putrid, puss-filled and dirty compared to most of us, and you're friendly everyone in the forums.- Red Shirted Fiend
Terse Talker: Your description at the top reads like this.
I feel bad for not replying to your vandalization on my profile. I guess due to the size of my profile, I missed it and I feel really bad about that. So here's a box of cookies :) Also, even though we haven't talked in a while, you seem to be awesome. - Darkclaw
