I'm 40, female, married, active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm pretty much an omnivore reader (about all I really dislike are Westerns and romances). My taste in movies leans toward comedy, science-fiction/fantasy, or horror/thrillers. My TV tastes range from Mythbusters to Dexter, with stops at The X-Files, FlashForward (2009), and similar along the way (I also enjoyed a lot of 70s and 80s comedies, the ones with good writing instead of the current tendency toward "body part/function described crudely = hilarious").

I wrote the entry for:

• Idiocracy
• No Launching Please
• Gender Equals Breed (I adopted an Up for Grabs YKTTW someone else started)

proposed in YKTTW:

• Mutual Kill (PkMARIO revived it and it finally got launched by Prfnoff after six months of dormancy)

split off Troper Tales:

• Geeky Turn On (rescued RL examples that had been hatcheted)
• Percussive Maintenance
• Your Tomcat Is Pregnant
• Blind Without Em (especially near and dear to my heart, since I'm a meganekko myself)
• Huge Guy Tiny Girl
• Brown Note (rescued deleted RL examples)
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant (rescued deleted RL examples)
• No Sense Of Direction
• Brain Bleach (rescued hatcheted example)
• Head Pet (another rescue of examples from a Ninjacrat hatchet job)

and launched from YKTTWs that I started:

• Bullet Seed
• Visual Pun
• At Arm's Length
• TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary
• No More for Me
• Detective Mole

But I usually just throw in examples as I find them and their places (I tend to come up with ones from Dexter, Mythbusters, Garfield, The X-Files, and Stephen King, and am probably responsible for 80% or more of Kevin & Kell examples). I also tend to do minor edits to correct spelling/typographical errors and tweak formatting, in a friendly-helpful spirit.
