Hello people. So, apparently this page is mine. There are many like it but this one is... Ah to hell with that easy reference. Anyway, here is some stuff about me.
I'm french, 19, and I'm studying to become an engineer, and as could be expected of someone who chose that subject, I'm passionate about mathematics and physics. I live in the South-west of France, near the border France shares with Spain.
I also like to play chess in my spare time, and I've played in some tournaments. I'm not very good but I've always liked playing, even if that often meant losing to more skillfull players. My other hobbies include drawing, origami, surfing, coding, and writing poetry. I'm not outstanding in any of those things, it's just activities that I like more than the rest.
And of course, I enjoy reading, watching anime, playing videogames, and roleplaying, and that is why after a long while spent lurking, reading page upon page of information about tropes, characters, settings and all the rest, I've finally decided to sign up here. I first came here because I saw the xkcd comic about T Vtropes, and it made me wonder about what T Vtropes was, so after a quick search on Google, I visited the site for the first time, and went on a Wiki Walk that lasted for about all the afternoon, and then I'd come whenever I'd feel a bit bored.
As for my personnality, I'm quite cynical, from time to time I like to spend some time alone thinking about a wide variety of ideas and events. I often appear as being proud of myself, although I have crippling self-esteem issues due to the fact that I was bullied during many years. In fact, at moments where I appear to be overly confident in myself, I'm trying to convince myself more than anyone else. But let's not let this devolve into Wangst. After all, lately I think I've gotten better on that. Finally, one of my defining traits is that I always try to use reason, and that I will often remind other people to think before they act, even when I think that they won't really appreciate the remark. I've never really understood how a human being could enjoy the pain and suffering of another human being. Well, I understand how it works, but I never really felt that way, rather, it pained me to see someone else suffering, even people I hated... So maybe it would be more precise to say that it's something I can't empathize with. Oh well, anyway, here you go.
I hope this wasn't too long. Anyway, that's about all I have to say about myself.
- Book Worm: Most of the time I spend away from my computer is time I spend reading.
- The Quiet One : Well, except when I'm with people I've known for some time.
- Mad Mathematician: I love mathematics, and I can pretend to be mad quite well, apparently, so I like to make it seem that I'm that, from time to time.
- Ditzy Genius: Not too sure for the Genius part, I'd rather say that it's something that I want/aim to be. But for the Ditz part, I'm quite sure that it applies pretty well, as I can be quite clumsy, and I've never really been good at that whole "socializing" thing
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: I often involuntarily come off as very proud of myself, but I have a really low self-esteem. It's something I'm currently trying to get rid off. If you think I seem to be too full of myself, I'd like you to send me a polite remark about it, so that I may stop (and apologize, if I happen to offend anyone)
