To start with, my username refers to the fact that I am a threefer version of a Twofer Token Minority: I am female, autistic, and queer. And I mean that I'm queer in the way that others would describe as pansexual. I have sometimes been referred to by others as "bisexual." I choose the label of queer to refer to both my fluid sexual orientation and to refer to myself as queer in the Have a Gay Old Time sense.

In general, I like sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries, historical, and horror novels, musicals, operas and movies. I don't watch much television, though I have watched some years ago. Nowadays, I'm more into the online stuff. Some works in particular have caught my attention enough that I totally love them, including, but not limited to,
- Day of the Barney Trilogy
- Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
- Harry Potter
- The Hunger Games
- My Immortal 'cause it's So Bad, It's Good
- The Nostalgia Chick
- The Nostalgia Critic
- The Picture Of Dorian Gray
- The Producers
- Sherlock Holmes
- Stephen King
- Sweeney Todd
- William Shakespeare
- Hamlet
- Macbeth
- Romeo And Juliet
- Titus Andronicus (my absolute favorite Shakespeare play)
- Twelfth Night
And here is a list of tropes that apply to my life:
- Bad Liar: If I want to prevaricate, it will take a lot of preparation and even then, I don't manage to convince the person I want to dupe. When I was younger, it was Cannot Tell a Lie.
- Bi The Way: If I'm in a heterosexual relationship, then he's sorta-surprised to hear that I'm queer, but it doesn't really become an issue because I make sure that he or she is not homophobic or transphobic before I date them.
- Big Breasts Big Deal: Type 3, though it also ventures into Type 4 from time to time
- Blind Without 'Em: On occasions where I've had to go without my glasses (at the beach or pool), I have actually gotten lost because I couldn't see without 'em. For this reason, I never go swimming in a public setting.
- Brainy Brunette
- Buxom Is Better: I am too often reminded this by friends and acquaintances.
- Cloudcuckoolander: I fit this trope to a T, what with my frequent usage of insane troll logic, tendency to bring up seemingly random things in conversation because the present topic reminded me of something that reminded me of something else, my frequently breaking out into song seemingly randomly for reasons that usually only make sense in my mind, and my overall silliness.
- Disability Superpower: Due to my autistic neurotype, I can get really fixated on certain things. Additionally, I can process things really quickly, enabling me to read novels in hours that would take others a week or two to read. Unfortunately, though, my executive dysfunction keeps me from being able to remember to do anything important and sensory overload can cause me to have a Heroic BSoD.
- Disabled Snarker: Sometimes, especially when I am given the Inspirationally Disadvantaged treatment or am talking about an issue pertaining to disability rights, feminism, LGBT rights, etc.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: If I take off my glasses, the dark circles under my eyes are starkly visible and I'm borderline Looks Like Cesare.
- Forgets to Eat: It is quite often that I'll be eating dinner with other people and sometimes even when a dessert is being prepared that I'll realize that I have not eaten anything that day up to that point.
- Friend to All Children: I love kids, for some strange reason kids are drawn to me, and I work as a babysitter in my spare time when I can get a gig.
- The Glasses Gotta Go: Inverted. I've been complimented on my appearance with my glasses on and removing them often incites negative reactions to the dark circles I chronically have under my eyes.
- Important Haircut: I have gotten multiple of these in the past, including one where I donated eleven inches to Locks of Love.
- Incompatible Orientation: Happens to me a lot in that several ladies I had feelings for turned out to be straight. I also had this in the other direction, having crushed on a guy who I later found out was gay.
- Insane Troll Logic: I use this a lot.
- The Insomniac: Obviously type B, when I've found a book that I just can't put down and consequently stay up late (sometimes even all night) reading), though the type C aspects are obvious when people notice that I'm acting more silly than usual.
- Inspirationally Disadvantaged: It annoys me how often I get this treatment. It is most often Type A, but I occasionally get the Type B treatment as well.
- Mary Sue: Guess what score I got when I decided to take The Original Fiction Mary-Sue Litmus Test For the Lulz, answering only the questions that don't involve characters' common traits with the writer? 42.
- Meganekko
- Must Have Caffeine: I am addicted to coffee and will get very grouchy without it
- My Eyes Are Up Here: After a childhood in special-needs programs with them trying to work on my eye contact, now I have to remind people of this.
- Nightmare Fetishist: If my love for Titus Andronicus and Stephen King didn't clue you in on that already.
- Older Than They Look: I am an adult and I keep getting mistaken for being in my mid-teens.
- Smart People Know Latin
- Teen Genius: When I was a teen.
- Tomboyish Ponytail: I ordinarily keep my hair down, but if I need it out of the way, I'll put it in a low ponytail or braid it.
- Unkempt Beauty: I seldom wear makeup and my hair care routine consists of washing it and maybe combing it. The most styling I do ordinarily is the Tomboyish Ponytail or the braid variant.
- You're Insane!: If I had a dollar for every time I was told any variant of this, I'd have enough money to take every Cloud Cuckoolander with me to a quiet island and establish our own Cloud Cuckooland.
- Youthful Freckles: On my nose and cheeks.
