Tony Nola is from The Big Easy and is But Not Too Black bordering on Ambiguously Brown.
I've been hanging around TV Tropes for years, but only recently (May 2010) signed up to become an official Troper.
My personal history includes such tropes as
- The Big Guy- I'm 6'4"
- Gentle Giant- I really do not like fighting.
- Large Ham and No Indoor Voice - I've been compared to BRIAN BLESSED in both my love of life zeal and the fact my normal talking voice is evidently louder than some people yelling.
- Gothic Punk - I own all of one shirt that's not black. (A Superman shirt) and I had a mohawk for years.
- Perky Goth - What happens when you combine Large Ham, No Indoor Voice, and Gothic Punk.
- Beard of Sorrow - Grown after Hurricane Katrina (The beard is still around, just not the sorrow)
- Sad Clown - During the same Beard of Sorrow phrase I pretty much mastered this trope.
- Deadpan Snarker - The non-Sad Clown brand of humor.
I'm a huge fan of
- Neil Gaiman
- Joss Whedon
- Tim Burton (Other than his Batman movies and Planetofthe Apes, I dislike those)
- Terry Gilliam
- The Birthday Massacre
- Emilie Autumn
- Voltaire
- Doctor Who
- Sliders(first 2 seasons)
- Leverage
- DC Comics
- Marvel Comics
- Mutants And Masterminds - My favorite RPG
- Demi Lovato: who in addition to being one of the few 'pop' stars I like is such a woobie to me that my first real edits were including the fact on her page and the Real Life section of The Woobie entry.
