Hello, world. I'm Paradoxical Frog. I'm also a lot of other things, but that's what TV Tropes will know me as. I discovered this site through a link on an anime forum, and I guess I forgot to leave... My interests include anime, video games, music, fantasy/SF, and building models (mostly Zoids). I also love writing, but I've never published anything, not even on Fanfiction.net. Partly because I'm not that confident yet, but mostly because I'm not even sure what format would work best for me yet. Hey, I still have time. I'm not even out of high school yet.

This Troper provides examples of:

• Absent-Minded Professor
• Bi the Way
• Bifauxnen: I usually wear my shoulder-length hair tied back, and haven't been seen in "feminine" clothing since elementary school. Needless to say, I've been called "sir" a few times... Not that I mind. I like to think that I look kinda like Oscar.
• Buffy Speak
• Chivalrous Covert Pervert
• Deadpan Snarker
• Gratuitous Foreign Language: I love learning languages, and sometimes switch for a moment mid-conversation just to wierd people out. Ja! Verdad desu!
• Occidental Otaku
• Oh My Gods!: I love this trope. "Merciless Haruhi!" is my favorite, along with others relating to Hanyuu and Suwako.
• Sophisticated as Hell
• Straight Gay
• Tsundere: Type B.
• Yuri Fangirl: I prefer the sort of yuri where the romance comes first, but...
