History Tropers / BudZer

[=BudZer=] is a troper who has spent far too much time theorizing how to go about making a troper page about himself. He loves to read tropes, but is finicky when it comes to the edit button. As such, he has not edited very many tropes and has launched none despite visiting the site for almost a year (in his defense, he did not have an account for many of those months). He instead prefers to stick around (read: lurk) the forums.

As someone who hopes to someday make a career out of writing, [=BudZer=] frequents the Writer's Block forum when he should be doing something along the lines of actually sitting down and writing. He also likes to procrastinate by "World Building" and thus visits that forum almost as often. He also frequents the Literature forum seeing as it's his favorite medium of story telling (snobbery goes here).

Oh, and this site hates my username it's [=BudZer=] not Budzer or Bud Zer.

[[folder:Film]]
* {{There Will Be Blood}}: Oh Daniel, you can always drink my milkshake!
* {{The Godfather}}: Duh
* {{Zulu}}: I've been humming Men of Harlech every day since I saw that movie.
* {{The Last of the Mohicans}}: Like {{Zulu}} except with more {{Narm}}.
* {{Star Wars}}: Also duh

* {{The Bucket List}}: I cried so hard that I couldn't walk afterwards.
* {{The Wind that Shakes the Barley}}: Patriotism!

[[folder:Folk Lore]]
* {{Celtic Mythology}}: For the motherland!
* {{Classical Mythology}}: When I was eight years old, my father told me the story of the Trojan war and I was infatuated immediately. I went on to read Edith Hamilton's Mythology at the age of nine and become thoroughly obsessed with everything the mythology had to offer. Due to the Roman influences in the fantasy novels I'm writing, this love has resurfaced.
* {{Norse Mythology}}: For the awesome!

[[folder:Literature]]
* {{Harry Potter}}: This is pretty much a requirement.
* {{The Dresden Files}}: Jim Butcher is my idol.
* [[CodexAlera The Codex Alera]]: No, seriously. I want to be Jim Butcher when I grow up.
* {{The Lord of the Rings}}: I find the only way to get through this [[DoorStopper behemoth]] is to love it. Tolkien too is an idol of mine, not for the elves and dwarves like a [[ChristopherPaolini someone who will go unnamed]], but for his inspirations and love of his creation.
* {{The Divine Comedy}}: Hell is always fun.
* {{The Brothers Karamazov}}: [[FlatWhat what.]]
* {{Enders Game}}: I love the accurate portrayal of children as assholes.
* {{Animal Farm}}: Though, surprisingly, I hated [[NineteenEightyFour 1984]].
* [[StephenKing On Writing]]: I'll take bits of it with a grain of salt (I for one am quite a fan of plot, for example), but it was all together an insightful read.
* The Glass Castle: Made me cry like a schoolgirl.
* In Cold Blood: One of the few books I have stayed up all night reading.
* Team of Rivals: William Henry Seward, awww yeah.
* {{Lord of the Flies}}: My favorite book that I've never read.
* {{The Catcher in the Rye}}: The book I'm most glad that I never had to read for school, but read for personal enjoyment.
* {{The Screwtape Letters}}: Even for an atheist, I find the book to be enlightening.
* {{The Chronicles of Narnia}}: If only Aslan could be a ninja.

!!Tropes applicable to [=BudZer=] go here. (feel free to add, o vandals!)
* {{Most Writers Are Male}}: Last time I checked, I fit both writer and male criteria.
* {{Brilliant But Lazy}}: Then again, I think everyone likes to ''think'' of themselves as being this. At the bare minimum I fit the lazy category.
* {{Berserk Button}}: You do not insult {{Jak and Daxter}}, {{Jim Butcher}} or {{Daniel Day Lewis}} in front of me if you want to keep your teeth.
* {{Noodle Incident}}: The reason why I never talk to the press.
* {{Full Name Basis}}: My parents wanted to give him a name that wouldn't get me picked on on the playgrounds. I'm so averagely named that in order to differentiate between all the people who share either my first or last name, everyone has to call me by both.
* {{Weaksauce Weakness}}: ''everything.''

!!Here be vandals.
* Heh, I am a vandal-virgin-[=BudZer=].
