1 | A troper with eclectic and diverse interests and far too much time on his hands (less true recently) and a tendency to develop overarching obsessions [[LampshadeHanging and a love for polysyndeton]]. Areas of interest include history, sci-fi, and computer / console games. |
2 | |
3 | Also loves roleplaying (to a limited degree), trivia, quirky metaphors, and [[{{Neologism}} neologizing]] (his favorite neologism to date being "luceferent," meaning "possessing a faint, warm glow"). Has ten million great ideas floating around in his head, if only he had the time to write them all down... |
4 | |
5 | Has noticed that many of the things he likes tend to be a bit obscure and arcane to most other people. This suits him just fine. |
6 | |
7 | One of his pet peeves is duplicate entries. |
8 | |
9 | On the forums, tends to lurk [[SarcasmMode and troll]] the Writer's Block and Video Games forums. Will occasionally pop in elsewhere, though. |

85 | |
86 | !!Tropes that apply to this user in some fashion or another: |
87 | * AltumVidetur |
88 | * AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder -- Probably the main reason I haven't actually written anything major... |
89 | * BrilliantButLazy -- Sort of--I try to maintain a 4.0 GPA, but I ''really'' hate working at things I'm not really that interested in. And writing papers. |
90 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}} -- I have my moments. |
91 | * CollectorOfTheStrange |
92 | * DeadpanSnarker |
93 | ** MaddenIntoMisanthropy -- It hasn't happened yet, and I pray it never does, but it is one of the things I worry about... |
94 | * FilkSong -- Wrote a few in my UrbanDead days. [[OldShame Don't ask me about them]]. |
95 | * FanOfThePast -- Just take a look at my music selection, among other things. |
96 | * FleetingPassionateHobbies -- Though some are more (or less) fleeting than others. |
97 | * ForumPeckingOrder -- Admin of a [[http://s13.zetaboards.com/Hlfrankiln/index/ small]] MessageBoard with his RealLife best friend. |
98 | * HonorBeforeReason |
99 | * IceCreamKoan -- I ''love'' to unexpectedly subvert common proverbs and cliches :D |
100 | * MrImagination -- Not quite as extreme as the trope page would suggest, but I do love to daydream. |
101 | * NiceHat -- Like the idea. Shame I have so few... |
102 | * OrphanedSeries -- Just about everything I've worked on has fallen through the cracks for one reason or another. |
103 | * PurpleProse -- My personal writing style leans toward this, apparently. |
104 | * RidiculousProcrastinator -- The trope page could have been lifted directly from my life... with a few exaggerations. |
105 | * SerialTweaker -- Getting better, though. ([[TheBeatles I can't get no worse]].) |
106 | * SouthernGentleman -- The ideal I try to live up to, minus the [[TomLehrer white sheets]]. |
107 | * StoicSpectacles -- What I aim for. |
108 | ** NerdGlasses -- How other people probably see them. |
109 | * StuffBlowingUp -- Big fan. |
110 | * SweetTooth |
111 | ** EverythingsBetterWithChocolate |
112 | * {{Troper}} -- No kidding? |
113 | * UnluckyEverydude |
