History Tropers / AwkwardNinja

Okay, so....

Ninja. Human trainwreck.

Female with a weirdly deep voice and a ridiculously chaotic life. Math nerd. Musician.

Theoretically a genius.

(however, most data obtained from real life applications seems to conclude otherwise)

Currently a college dropout of sorts.

Known by exactly 3.5 people on the internet. And counting.

I'm also kind of a dick.

I occasionally attempt to forum. I usually fail. [[NoSocialSkills Because people.]]
(Although my absence as of late has more to do with working 60+ hours a week)

!!Tropes That Apply to This Asshole:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: What, You really wanted to read this self-indulgent shit? Alright..]]

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: I actually do have fairly severe ADHD.
* BadassBookworm: Well, for starters I practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and do math for fun.
* {{Bathos}}: My life seems to run on this
* BiTheWay:
* BlackComedy: And ''how''. Mostly due to the whole DarkAndTroubledPast thing.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Not so much "hero" as "human doormat". Although an asshole doormat. I suppose it kind of comes with the territory of being the OnlySaneMan in a DysfunctionalFamily, I guess. Of course, constantly putting everyone else's needs before your own kinda fucks you over in a big way, so... Here we are.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Hoo boy.
* DeadpanSnarker: Emphasis on the deadpan. I'm somewhat known for being able to say some really insane shit with a straight face.
** StepfordSnarker
* HiddenDepths: I like to play my cards close to the vest, so to speak, in real life (as opposed to.... Well, this page), so pretty much anything I've done or any quality I have could qualify, depending on who you talk to.
* [[UsefulNotes/{{HighFunctioningAutism}} High Functioning Autism]]
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: A DarkAndTroubledPast revealed only in snippets through jokes, one-liners, and NoodleIncidents told by a DeadpanSnarker narrator with gratuitous amounts of GallowsHumor. Pretty much the same thing.
* TheInsomniac
* OnlySaneMan: In regards to my family. Granted, that's...... Not really saying much.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: I don't know about gold. Copper, maybe?
* NoodleIncident: Let's see... [[DysfunctionalFamily Batshit crazy family]], [[SuckySchool a comically terrible high school]], and [[CosmicPlaything a general propensity for getting entangled in an improbable amount of fucking ridiculous shit?]] It's like a goddamn formula.
* RidiculousProcrastinator: I once finished a group video project in a gas station on the way to present it.
* SadClown
* SophisticatedAsHell
* UnkemptBeauty: Perpetually MessyHair, near permanent ExhaustedEyeBags, and a slightly crooked nose (among other things). While I wouldn't necessarily say 'beauty', but, ya know.... Mildly attractive.

!!Shit I Like:
I attempted to give these some semblance of order. I failed.

[[folder:Comics]]
* Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}}: Hawkeye is, hands down, without a doubt, my favorite hero. Period. That being said, Matt Fraction's run is probably my favorite.
** Usually not a fan of any Bendis work featuring Hawkeye, due to the way he writes him. Actually not a huge fan of Bendis's work in general.
** Also not particularly fond of Jeff Lemire's run (the current series), at least at the moment.

!!Shit I don't like:

* Film/AttackOfTheClones: In my opinion, the worst Star Wars film. I mean, c'mon, a good portion of the movie is a goddamn sci-fi rom-com.
* Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron: Fucking hell. [[spoiler:THEY FUCKING RUINED HAWKEYE, OKAY. FUCK. NO. WHAT, WE'RE JUST MAKING UP BACK STORIES NOW? OKAY, FINE. WHY DON'T WE JUST MAKE TONY BE A POOR FUCKING CANADIAN WITH LOVING, ATTENTIVE PARENTS. WHY THE FUCK NOT. FUCK. Also, they really did a poor job with Black Widow's back story.]]
* Film/{{Drumline}}: An opinion shared by most everyone whose ever actually been in a drumline.
* Film/SpiderMan3: You know why.

Female with a weirdly deep voice and a ridiculously chaotic life. [[MadMathematician Math major]]. Musician.

* UsefulNotes/{{Agnosticism}}: Don't know, don't care (which is why I am distinctly not an atheist. I see it as one of many possibilities). I find it fundamentally important to respect everyone's beliefs, regardless of personal qualms.
* [[UsefulNotes/{{AmericanAccents}} American Accents]]: Of the Texan variety. While I've mostly gotten rid of the twang, I still tend to drawl.

* BiTheWay: [[ButNotTooBi Although I tend to be more attracted to girls than guys.]] [[SubvertedTrope Although I've only dated guys.]] [[DoubleSubversion Although I haven't dated in four years....]]
* BigSisterInstinct: Okay, so we're not ''technically'' related, and he ''is'' a few days older than me, but if you hurt him I will '''end you.'''

* FascinatingEyebrow: 75% of my facial expressions just eyebrows.
* FirstPersonSmartAss: I tend to be this when I write. Which is apparently "Frowned Upon" in formal academic essays. So is referring to a drunken chicken, but that's neither here nor there.
* TheGadfly: As noted above, I can say some really insane shit with a straight face. Sometimes I use it to screw with people. Usually when dealing with my family (my grandmother in particular) or when someone asks a personal question I don't feel like answering.
* HatesBeingTouched:

* [[UsefulNotes/{{Nerd}} Nerd]]: What gave it away.

* OnlySaneMan: In regards to my family. Granted, that's...... Not really saying much.

* SelfDeprecation: I'm a mildly attractive genius and a decent musician. I won't deny that. But I'm also a socially incompetent asshole who consistently makes incredibly poor life choices, and a self-destructive fuck up who will more than likely end up a college dropout [[note]] Called it. [[/note]] in a dead end job. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking I'm also really fucking uncoordinated.]]

* UnkemptBeauty: Perpetually MessyHair, near permanent ExhaustedEyeBags, and a slightly crooked nose (among other things). While I wouldn't necessarily say 'beauty', but, ya know.... Mildly attractive. According to my boss I have the potential to be hot if I put in a little effort, but I sorta like my homeless chic look. Fits my personality. Plus, ya know, lazy.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: I've only seriously gotten really angry a handful of times in my life. I have an insanely long fuse, and I'm pretty good at bottling emotions (which I'm told is not, in fact, a good thing). But when it does happen? It's not pretty.

[[folder: Gaming]]
Literally the same concept as the stuff above, just..... Nerdier.

* ClusterFBomb: Gather a group of nerds. Play a game. This will surely ensue. With me especially.
** Along the same lines, ThisIsForEmphasisBitch
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Starting with D&D, I s'pose
** [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext "Roll for dick size"]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Oh, but of course.
* GamerChick: Duh.
* KillItWithFire: Almost all of my RP characters, D&D and otherwise, do this at least once, oddly enough. HilarityEnsues.
** Also, pretty much a given with any [[MagicTheGathering MTG deck]] containing red. Bonus points for yelling "Kill it. Kill it with Fire." at least once a match.

[[folder: Humor]]
Former mascot, perpetual comic relief, sarcastic asshole. There are quite a few notable trademarks of my comedy, all of which are in this folder because nobody gives a fuck.

* BlackComedy: As noted above
* BreadEggsMilkSquick
* EscalatingPunchline
* FlatJoy: Sometimes just because it's funny, sometimes in true DeadpanSnarker fashion, and sometimes I am just really shit at expressing emotion.
* GallowsHumor
* LiteralistSnarking: So much
* NonSequitur

* [[Series/{{FullFrontalWithSamanthaBee}} Full Frontal with Samantha Bee]]

* BewareTheSillyOnes: I generally have a pretty laid back and goofy demeanor, it's damn near impossible to offend or upset me, and I'm pretty good at controlling my emotions, but I'm told I can be fairly intimidating when I get irritated. That's not including when I actually get mad. For that.. Well, see YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry below.

* BookDumb: Surprisingly averted, for the most part.

* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: It takes a lot to actually make me angry. ''A lot''. [[TheStoic And even then, I've got a pretty good hold on my emotions.]] But, on the very rare occasion that someone manages to seriously piss me off? The end result is... Usually not pretty.

* [[Series/{{The100}} The 100]]

(Plus, ya know, it's an interesting form of anonymous outward introspection. But mostly the homework thing.)

* BrilliantButLazy: Not so much lazy as unfocused or bored and [[UsefulNotes/{{Depression}} severely depressed.]] But we'll stick with lazy.

* {{MacGyvering}}/DuctTapeForEverything: The things you learn on a farm and a school with no funding.

Ninja. The living embodiment of a trainwreck. Doer of things. Maker of bad decisions. Abuser of commas.

Why am I putting so much effort into this page? [[RidiculousProcrastinator Because I have homework]].

I won't list all the pages I contribute to because, well, who the fuck cares.

[[http://halliesname.tumblr.com/ The Tumblrs]]

* [[UsefulNotes/{{AmericanAccents}} American Accents]]: Of the 'Texas Drawl' variety. I've actually worked on getting rid of my accent since I was twelve, but I still slip into it now and then, and I still tend to, well, drawl. [[note]] I just learned how to use footnotes. This is gonna be fun. [[/note]]
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: I actually do have fairly severe ADHD. [[note]] Like when I had to make a website for a class. I used the links to make a sarcastic commentary on the creator of the website, which soon became a very weird dialogue involving birds and Sarah Palin. The website was an online store. I got a 100 and made the teacher spit out her drink. It was great. This has absolutely nothing to do with ADHD, if you're wondering. [[/note]]
* [[UsefulNotes/{{HighFunctioningAutism}} High Functioning Autism]]

* BerserkButton: English. The subject, not the language. Enough said. For the time being.[[note]] There will surely be a rant here next time I have to write an essay. [[/note]]

* BookDumb: Mostly averted, but coming from a SuckySchool in a pretty rural area, there are a few noticeable gaps in my knowledge. A fact which has come back to bite me in the ass in a big way in college.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Not so much "hero" as "human doormat". Although an asshole doormat. I suppose it kind of comes with the territory of being the OnlySaneMan in a DysfunctionalFamily, combined with the whole Texas variant of 'Southern Hospitality'. [[note]] Help thy neighbor. Like the bible says. Except insteada' jus' sittin' on yer ass and prayin' an' lovin' thy neighbor, you get up an' help em', ya hear me? Help thy fuckin' neighbor. Everyone's yer goddamned neighbor. Fuckin' help everyone. Dammit. My internal monologue has a fuckin' Texas drawl now. Fuck.[[/note]] Of course, constantly putting everyone else's needs before your own kinda fucks you over in a big way, so... Here we are.

* DeterminedDefeatist: As mentioned below, I know that more than likely I'm just gonna end up at some dead end job. Doesn't mean I not gonna try my hardest to, uh, well... Not. [[note]] Well, that's worked out spectacularly now, hasn't it. Dumbass. [[/note]]

* FishOutOfWater: I grew up on a farm, and my background (though not necessarily my personality) is very LowerClassLout meets [[FarmBoy Farm Girl]]. My college is in a very wealthy and urban area of the country. You get the picture.

* GoodIsNotNice: Look, I'm not mean per say, but I'm not exactly a nice person either. I'm just not. But I'll put anything aside to help out anyone. A trait that, at times, annoys the fuck outta me.

* HiddenDepths: My sophomore year of high school, when everyone found out that I was actually intelligent. [[note]] The PSAT was mandatory for sophomores. Apparently filling out the paper work for accommodations for the PSAT (to make the playing field slightly less uneven for those of us with disabilities) is a pain in the ass, and since I was obviously not going to do well either way, they didn't bother with it. So imagine their surprise when I get the highest score in the sophomore class. (Some of my classmates were more surprised than others). This is made even funnier when you realize that the school counselors and administration had access to all of the various testing documentation for learning disabilities, which included ''multiple'' IQ tests. It was literally right in front of them the entire time. [[/note]]
** The fact that I used to be a nationally ranked competitive gymnast
** To my college friends, the fact that I'm actually a fairly talented percussionist. [[note]] Well, talented enough that I don't feel the need to put a demeaning comment here.[[/note]]

* ICallItVera: I name quite a few things. I rarely actually refer to them by said name.
** My main knife is Mr. Stabby
** My ButterflyKnife is [[AnjelahJohnson Kindness]]
** Graphing Calculator is Graphy
* TheIllegible: Well, I'm autistic and dyslexic [[note]] dyslexic, dysgraphic, and dyscalculic, if ya wanna get technical about it. Which I doubt you do.[[/note]] so... Yeah. It's gotten a lot better over the years, but I still had to type the SAT.

* JackOfAllTrades: Of sorts.

* LateForSchool: Somewhat [[JustifiedTrope justified]], but still. I was voted 'most likely to be late for graduation'.
* {{MacGyvering}}/DuctTapeForEverything: List Time!
** About 60% of the percussion equipment at my high school was fixed using duct tape and whatever else I could find lying around.
*** Once I fixed a drum stand with a T-Shirt, a plastic bag, and my belt. I took that stand to state.
*** Senior year the assistant director found some nice harnesses in another school's dumpster. We salvaged them for parts and made Franken-Harnesses.
** Made a shelf using a Capri Sun box and duct tape
** Made a book case using milk crates that were [[BlatantLies obtained in a perfectly legal manner]].
** A litter box using cardboard, saran wrap, and duct tape
** Most of the equipment at work has been subject to this
* MemeticMutation: Plenty.
** You know what would make this better? Knives.
** Imma muthafuckin' superhero
** VAGINA
** I DON'T LIKE PARADOXES IN MY FOOD
** Dick and Bitch. We could fight crime.

* OneOfTheBoys
* [[RenaissanceMan Renaissance Woman]]: What I aim to be. Currently am more of a 'self-destructive screw up', but I mean...

* TheStoic: In terms of actually showing emotion.

* Music/PyotrIlyichTchaikovsky

* Music/KendrickLamar

* Music/MilesDavis

* Music/RiseAgainst
* Music/LinkinPark: Not as much as I used to, but deserves a mention for being the first concert I went to (for the A Thousand Suns Tour), and also for their ability to evolve as musicians.

* Film/AttackOfTheClones: In my opinion, the worst Star Wars film. I mean, c'mon, a good portion of the movie is a goddamn sci-fi rom-com.

Ninja. The living embodiment of a trainwreck. Doer of things. Attender of college. Maker of bad decisions. Abuser of commas.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: I generally have a pretty laid back and goofy demeanor, and it's damn near impossible to offend or upset me but I'm told I can be fairly intimidating when I get irritated. That's not including when I actually get mad. For that.. Well, see YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry below.

* DeterminedDefeatist: As mentioned below, I know that more than likely I'm just gonna end up at some dead end job. Doesn't mean I not gonna try my hardest to, uh, well... Not.

* JackOfAllTrades: Of sorts. [[note]] former competitive gymnast, three time state qualifying percussionist (Shut up, it's the internet. I'm allowed to brag. Probably.), guitarist, pianist, vocalist, fill-in drummer, drum instructor, assistant drum tech, composer, arranger, [[Main/{{Irony}} writer]] (sort of), artist (barely), photographer, National Merit Scholar, Veterinary Technician Assistant, college student, martial artist. And that's not including anything that's in the works. [[/note]]

* SelfDeprecation: I'm a mildly attractive genius and a decent musician. I won't deny that. But I'm also a socially incompetent asshole who consistently makes incredibly poor life choices, and a self-destructive fuck up who will more than likely end up a college drop out in a dead end job. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking I'm also really fucking uncoordinated.]]
