Line #40 Tropers/EgregiousOne


1	[[http://i1361.photobucket.com/albums/r666/NotTheDroidsYoureLookingFor/Egregious_zpsf89c38ef.jpg Hi, this is me!]]
2
3	Hello there, and welcome to my quiet corner of Tropespace. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKxnjbV0VWo Here's a little music, if you like.]] I had been a {{lurker}} here for four, five, maybe six years--I'm not entirely sure--until finals week in my fifth semester at college, when I decided to join the forums for a little company and camaraderie. I'm 21 years old, although I don't ''feel'' quite that old just yet. I'm a third-year engineering student attending college in the United States. I like engaging conversations, friendly competitions, and strenuous exercise. My edits so far have been limited to correcting spelling and grammar, plus about a dozen minor additions and a few added spoilers (uncensored DeathNote spoilers; atrocious!); I plan to be somewhat more ambitious once my new-found forum addiction wears out of its honeymoon phase. I'm also working on fleshing out this page a little, so as to not come across as standoffish or unsporting.

6	'''Tropes that describe me:'''
7	* AchievementsInIgnorance - I quickly get bored if I try to solve problems by just looking up the conventional solution methods; I'd much rather take three times as long and do them the hard way, which can lead to this trope on good days.
8	* BerserkButton - Averted. If I have one, I haven't found it yet; I tend to be extremely patient and forgiving. If anything, [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]] themselves almost fit; it annoys me when people get exceptionally angry. BewareTheNiceOnes certainly doesn't apply, by the way; if you ''do'' somehow manage to upset me, I'm hardly going to hunt you down over it.
9	* BigEater - Reluctantly. I work out a lot, and rather inconveniently, that requires me to eat a lot. I see this as more of a chore than anything else.
10	* BizarreTasteInFood - I genuinely detest nearly all fatty, greasy, fried, and sugary foods. It's not self-discipline at all; junk food to me is what lima beans and tofu are to most people. I prefer simple foods like steamed vegetables, plain fruit, rare/raw meat, that sort of thing. Bacon turns my stomach.
11	* BlackComedy - I engage in this a lot in real life. Everything is funny in hindsight, but I prefer not to wait; the best way to deal with your problems is to find some way to laugh at them.
12	* BlackKnight - I unconsciously exemplified this trope once by attending the ''Knight's Duel'' chess tournament as the only unrated, unregistered player, in a black suit. Much the same way as Medieval knights would occasionally attend jousting events in black armor as wild cards.
13	* BlitheSpirit - I can't abide stuffiness and lethargy, and I'll do what I can to expunge said gloominess.
14	* [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Blue and Orange Manners]] - Frequent source of annoyance. Courtesy is very important to me, and I've had to learn the slow way that I have a drastically different concept of courtesy from most people. It's not at all uncommon for someone's actions to (generally unintentionally) leave me insulted to the point of speechlessness while everyone else takes it in stride.
15	* BlueOni - I'm always the Blue; I seem to be a magnet for RedOni.
16	* BrutalHonesty - I don't think I'm ''that'' brutal, but others have noted it often enough that I feel obligated to list it.
17	* CatchPhrase - "That would be cheating!" May refer to anything from wearing a winter coat, to using an elevator, to making an obvious joke, to explicitly asking someone what he/she wants for Christmas. Also "It's a matter of principle." for many of the same reasons, and "Oh, don't mind me..." in ObfuscatingStupidity Mode.
18	* CavalierCompetitor - I love competition, not for the purpose of conquering others and establishing myself as the Biggest Man in the Room, but purely for the joy of it. I have fun even (sometimes especially) when I lose; I'll acknowledge a hit with a cordial “{{Touche}}!” and a self-depricating chuckle.
19	* ChallengeGamer - My rule of thumb is that if I have time to scratch my nose without dying, the game is probably too easy.
20	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower - My goal; the reason I exercise [[TrainingFromHell religiously]]. Nothing super to show for it so far, except that I ''might'' or might not be [[NoodleIncident immune to salmonella]].
21	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder - Ye be warned. I value principles over loyalty, and I won't hesitate to turn my back on any organization, affiliation, or private individual whose allegiance I discover to irreconcilably contradict my principles.
22	* ClosetKey - [[spoiler:[[ResidentEvil4 Leon Sexy Kennedy]]]]
23	* TheChessmaster - Not yet, but I'm slowly working on it. Do PM if you feel like a friendly game!
24	* ColourCodedForYourConvenience - I don't ''always'' wear black, but often enough that head-to-toe black has become a trademark of sorts. My friends will [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] this when one of us other than me happens to wear all black.
25	* CompositeCharacter - If I read or hear a word or phrase I happen to like, odds are I'll steal it and use it myself. I can trace a lot of my mannerisms back to favorite characters and close friends.
26	* CoolPet - @/MuffinsTheTiger.
27	* CreepyMonotone - The ironic result of me consciously trying to emote a little more. The only time this trope doesn't apply is when I laugh, and I'm told that's still plenty creepy even though it's less monotone.
28	* TheCynic - Completely averted, trust me. People get this impression all the time, but I am 100% TheIdealist.
29	* DarkIsNotEvil - I wear a ''lot'' of black--half the time, every last stitch of my outfit will be black--but I'm LawfulGood.[[note]]Yup; Shirtless and cargo pants has got nothing on the sheer badassery exuded by black pants, black leather shoes, and a plain black t-shirt ~@/{{Eternal Noob}}[[/note]]
30	* DefeatMeansFriendship - It's the strangest thing; if you look at the people I get along with the best, I initially disliked almost every single one of them. I've made a lot of good friends by rubbing someone the wrong way, smoothing things out (whether that meant me ''offering'' an apology or me ''accepting'' an apology), and then getting along famously thereafter.
31	* TheDeterminator - I learn best through screwing up. Repeatedly. Not that I mind; I'll be the first to laugh at myself. One of the highest compliments I've ever been paid was when someone once compared me to a horror movie monster in that I never stay dead for long.
32	** Applies to video games as well; I've been trying to defeat [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Flandre Scarlet]] since May 12th, 2011. Literally hundreds of tries; zero successes. I'm ''close'' though; ''any day now''...
33	*** EDIT: April 17, 2013: It took me over 468 tries, but I did it! HAHA!
34	* DrinkOrder - Tomato juice. Used to be [[MustHaveCaffeine coffee]], but consuming over a full gram of caffeine daily eventually caught up to me and I've since quit drinking it altogether.
35	* [[EatingLunchAlone Eating Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Alone]] - Hey, I'm TheHermit for a reason. If I really like you, I won't mind sharing a meal with you, but mostly I prefer to keep to myself.
36	* {{Egregious}}
37	* EvilBrit - Subverted, as I'm neither evil nor British. Apparently I often give people this impression; I haven't the slightest idea why.
38	* ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask - Even when I'm extremely tired, I almost never get short of breath; casual chatting can be an effective psychological tactic when people expect you to be too exhausted to spare the oxygen. Not that I do it on purpose, I just really like to chat when I'm feeling competitive.
39	* {{Forgiveness}} - I'll forgive just about anything, given a sincere apology and a genuine show of contrition.
40	* ForGreatJustice - [[ForHappiness Happiness]] is wonderful, but when the chips are down I'll pick justice.
41	* GlacierWaif - I'm average height, and sufficiently thin to make people worry that I'm not eating enough[[note]]You can see my pulse, depending on where you look.[[/note]], but I definitely perform on the MightyGlacier end of the spectrum; I'm about twenty pounds heavier than I look. I have fun shocking people who expect me to snap in half if I carry anything heavier than a two-liter pop bottle.
42	* HeelFaceTurn - I used to be [[{{Understatement}} a pretty rotten guy]], and proud of it. As early as six years old, up through my Freshman year of college. I like to think IGotBetter.
43	* TheHermit - I live alone (quite happily) and very often the only words I'll say to anyone all day is a quick "Hello. Thank you." to the dining court cashier. I do enjoy spending time with other people, but too little time to myself results in SanitySlippage. It's a lot like exercise; it's fun, but I can't do it all day.
44	* HonestyIsTheBestPolicy - You can always expect an honest answer if you ask me whether I secretly hate you, whether I'm currently planning your downfall, or whether that [[{{Chess}} hanging Bishop]] is actually SchmuckBait.
45	* HonorBeforeReason - I am '''completely obsessed''' with rules and gamesmanship. I delight in handicapping myself in arbitrary ways to make life more interesting, and following the rules matters more to me than winning; there's no fun in playing {{chess}} if you just reach out and pocket the enemy king without working for it. In short, I'm a consummate sportsman.
46	* ICanStillFight - I've made a number of injuries worse by exercising on them anyways; I hate waiting around to heal, and sometimes I get impatient about it. The pinnacle of this was running 50+ miles per week for a month on an inflamed sciatic nerve; the resulting "feedback" finally convinced me to tone it down a bit.
47	* TheIdealist - I'm used to carrying around a reputation for being cynical, but I don't agree with the label at all. I have a very positive opinion of human nature in general. I consider life to be the greatest game ever designed, played on the most awesome board ever made.
48	* InsaneTrollLogic - I never engage in it myself, but I do have fun decoding it. I don't believe in "random" behavior, so I believe people always have ''some'' reason behind what they say, and I like the challenge of teasing the actual meaning out from the word-vomit; I find {{Trolls}} also tend to dislike accidentally making sense.
49	* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne - ''Very'' often, because there are numerous things other people consider offensive that don't particularly bother me at all. EX: "You heartless bastard!" "...my parents were married."
50	* LaughingMad - I have a somewhat masochistic sense of humor; I find my own misfortunes to be genuinely funny, and on the rare occasion that everything goes to Hell all at once, I can't help giggling uncontrollably.
51	* LargeHam - I’m usually [[TheQuietOne very reserved]], but [[HamtoHamCombat competition]] brings it out.
52	* [[LawfulGood Lawful]] [[HeelFaceTurn Good]] - So it turns out BeingEvilSucks. I'm Lawful in the sense that I follow a personal code; I have absolutely zero qualms about breaking the law of the land apart from the consequences of getting caught, but there ''is'' a large degree of overlap between the two that precludes me from committing most crimes anyway.
53	* MessyHair - It's usually in order, but under heavy wind or strenuous exercise it starts to exhibit anti-gravitational properties on the order of ShonenHair, much to my distress.
54	* [[MistakenForSubculture Mistaken for Vegetarian]] - Likely as a result of my pickiness regarding meat. I don't like steak, pork, lamb, hamburgers, hot dogs, bacon, or [[{{irony}} sausage]].
55	* MostAnnoyingSound - Phones ringing. As well as any other piercing noises made by handheld electronic devices that their carriers deem to be more important than whatever you're talking about.
56	* MusclesAreMeaningless - Despite being quite a lot stronger than average, I look downright frail; I've had people chase me down and demand to share the load...when I was only carrying about 20-30 pounds.
57	* NoSell - I love WittyBanter and I'll happily acknowledge a hit when I take one, but insulting me in sincerity will typically have no effect whatsoever.
58	* NotAMorningPerson - Inverted. I like to wake up at 5:00am, but I'm pretty much dead by 10:00pm. As I’m a college student, this does no favors at all for my social life.
59	* NotWhatItLooksLike - Offline, I don't engage in nearly as much WittyBanter as I used to, largely because I'm quite tired of having it be mistaken for [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple flirting]].
60	** Also an example: my favorite breakfast food is Greek yogurt, which leaves chalky white stains if spilled. You get the idea, I'm sure.
61	* ObfuscatingStupidity - When I don't want to be noticed, this does the trick nicely.
62	* OlderThanTheyLook - I'm 21, but routinely mistaken for 17-18.
63	* PaletteSwap - I wear [[LimitedWardrobe exactly the same outfit]] every day year-round, just with different colors. Well, usually black, actually.
64	* PerpetualExpression - Played [[TheStoic straight]] ''offline'', but I've noticed in hindsight that my avatars online are usually a good indication of my mood. Offline, my face stays pretty slack. I'll show mild surprise by raising one eyebrow, and the closest I'll usually get to a smile is a sort of half-smirk (it's actually pretty close to the page image for PsychoticSmirk).
65	* PrecisionFStrike - The ''only'' reason I'll ever swear is if it happens to fit an improbably specific joke that wouldn't be funny otherwise. For example: in Drunken Master, in which Jackie Chan learns a fighting style that makes him more dangerous when fantastically drunk, there's part of a fight scene where the hero knocks a bad guy face-first into a pile of manure. [[spoiler:Now they're ''both'' shitfaced!]]
66	* [[spoiler:PungeonMaster]] - I previously left this trope unmentioned because I figured I'd be sub-par at it by Troper standards, but it seems it's not nearly as common here as I had expected.
67	* [[@/EgregiousOne Recursive Reality]]
68	* RetroGaming - I'm enormously nostalgic for the games I played as a child.
69	* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining - I work hard to be the best athlete I can be...non-specifically. I'm absolutely terrible at most sports; I can stand right under a basketball hoop and still miss nine out of ten shots. Oh, and despite being able to throw the heaviest balls with ease, I bowl about a 30. I train for overall health and longevity, not success at any particular game.
70	* SarcasmMode - Averted. I used to have trouble with people not being able to tell when I was being sarcastic and when I was not, so I’ve quit sarcasm completely to clear things up. Unfortunately, my neutral voice apparently sounds sarcastic to most people.
71	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness - I consider this a bad habit of mine, because my priorities are clarity and precision, not showing off the extent of my vocabulary. Nevertheless, I do slip on occasion, and all bets are off if I'm speaking on a technical basis. If you catch me speaking this way unnecessarily, please do call me out on it.
72	* SlouchOfVillainy - My favorite posture.
73	* SpotOfTea - How I finally made peace with my coffeemaker following my massive falling-out with all sources of caffeine. Peppermint tea contains no caffeine and tastes delicious.
74	* SternTeacher - Formerly DrillSergeantNasty, but I'm getting better.
75	* TheStoic - In both the modern sense, and the original Greek philosophy sense.
76	* StraightGay - Nobody sees this coming. I have no CampGay mannerisms at all, and most people seem more surprised to hear that I'm not {{Asexual}} than they are to hear I like men. I've had to invoke SorryImGay a few times.
77	* SugarAndIcePersonality - I will more or less ignore your existence completely unless you actively hunt me down, and even then my conversation will consist mostly of "I see." and "Good for you.", but only until I've established that you're being earnest and genuine. I warm up to people fast, and then I can be very friendly.
78	** Though I can very quickly slip into BeingPersonalIsntProfessional, if the circumstances call for it.
79	* ThePollyanna - I delight in it! I don't like to complain unless I can somehow make it funny, and I devote much more of my attention to the positive things in life.
80	* TheTeetotaler - I don't like the idea of being intoxicated, even a little. It’s not a moral thing; I don’t think any less of people who do drink, and I’ll go to a bar once in a great while (I love a good Virgin Bloody Mary). Peer pressure doesn't work on me, either; I'm quite willing to be ''that guy'' who just orders water while everyone else drinks.
81	* TheTetrisEffect - Chess; very much so. I have a tendency to see the physical world in terms of files and ranks, knight jumps and long diagonals, safe positions and sharp positions...it's especially bad if I've recently pushed myself. I've played blindfold chess twice, and both times I ended up sleeping poorly, dreaming incessantly about the game I'd just played, and waking up feverishly muttering moves in algebraic notation.
82	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech - I'm good at delivering these against books and movies I particularly dislike. [[spoiler:[[OldShame People too,]] [[IHatePastMe in pre-Heel Face Turn days.]]]] Offline, I rarely say more than a sentence or two without stopping, but I could easily spend ten minutes blasting Cry, the Beloved Country.
83	* ThinkHappyThoughts - An EnforcedTrope in my case. I consider it a matter of personal discipline to spend as little time as possible thinking negative thoughts.
84	* TrademarkFavoriteFood - Raw tuna steaks, closely followed by sashimi. Apples[[note]]especially jazz[[/note]] are certainly up there as well; I'll go through half a dozen a day if they're available.
85	* TrainingFromHell - If I'm ever ''not'' aching and sore somewhere, I start to feel sickly. I'm never happier than when I'm pushed to my physical limits; I don't consider a workout to be successful until I start to feel a nice burning sensation.
86	* TrapMaster - My ''modus operandi'' in chess is setting a prodigious quantity of [[BoobyTrap Booby Traps]].
87	* TurnsRed - In the sense of increasing difficulty; it has nothing to do with anger, in my case. I'll admit it: I'm lazy when I don't feel challenged; I'll get by with CherryTapping, when I can. However, if I start taking hits and realize I'm up against a real threat, ''then'' I really start enjoying myself, and I will push myself ''to the limit'' to win.
88	* [[TheUnpronounceable The Unspellable]] - My first name is very, very common...and also officially misspelled on my birth certificate. My last name is pronounced the same way as a certain extremely popular confectionary, but spelled entirely differently. Let's just say I could live very comfortably in the DeathNote universe.
89	* VerbalTic - As a result of nearly nine years of Taekwondo training, I often {{Kiai}} for fairly mundane reasons. On my sorer days, this tends to happen any time I move. Mine's typically a short "hai".
90	* WeaponOfChoice - Combat umbrella. Nonlethal, inconspicuous, relatively gentle as weapons go, and NighInvulnerable in really bad weather.
91	* WhatCouldHaveBeen - I'm plagued with memories of puns I thought of just barely too late. Freshman year, I was on a team competing in a cardboard boat competition, and most of the team suddenly decided to secede and build a scale model of the male genitalia instead of a boat. I missed the opportunity to call it a piece of junk.
92	* WholesomeCrossdresser - Averted, but for some reason I have yet to figure out, people try to convince me to do this with disconcerting frequency.
93	* WillNotTellALie - Studiously. I will also never bluff, hyperbolize, or engage in sarcasm. I’m even vaguely uncomfortable with lying in character. However, ExactWords do apply.
94	** Please note that this in no way precludes me from declining to answer, omission of important details, or outright misdirection.
95	* WillfullyWeak / IAmNotLeftHanded - Doing anything [[CombatPragmatist the easy way]] is just no fun for me at all, even if the alternative means occasionally losing. Though it usually [[TooQuirkyToLose doesn’t]]. I'm not a {{scrub}}; ''everyone else'' is free to play however they like, I do what I do out of personal taste only.
96	** If I'm playing a video game with a tier list, I generally pick from the C/D range.
97	** In {{chess}}, I prefer to play unpopular openings, [[SchrodingerFu when I bother with opening theory at all]].
98	* [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Fanboy]] - Hey, GuyOnGuyIsHot.
99	* YouMustBeCold - Happens a lot to me because I never wear coats, whatever the weather.

218	* Hey you. Thanks for teaching me a new word (if unintentional)! Is it Egregious in the Outrageous or the Terrible sense? :"> ~ {{@/Bresher}}
219	** No problem! It's both, or else I'd be [="OutrageousOne"=] or [="TerribleOne".=]
220	* Hey there, just wanted to say hi. @/{{Unprettier}}
221	** Why, hello!
222	* Hope it's okay that I stopped by to say hello! -Tropers/MokonaZero
223	** Of course, of course!
224	*** Hi again! -Tropers/MokonaZero
225	** This page got a lot bigger! Now to add to the vandalism... -Tropers/MokonaZero
226	* It's funny how I rarely have the urge to write on people's wall despite talking to them for a while, so I'm trying to write to pages of those who I think is genuinely cool. Which isn't a lot, honestly. Anyway, hi! -Tropers/TheJinny
227	** Thanks kindly!
228	* Troper-tan, huh? can't tell if that's good, bad or supposed to be funny. ah, well. Thanks anyways! ^_^ -Tropers/{{Knucklesthegreat}}
229	** It's mostly a good thing. :) Just a wild mass guess though.
230	* I'm just passing by to say hi to a rather cool fellow-troper! Keep on being excellent, pal!\
231	\
232	...And, on a slightly unrelated note, I'd like to ask: Have you checked out ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0NXAwO6ejM Super House of Dead Ninjas]]''? Since you're into challenging games, I think this one might be right in you alley![[note]]A controller is highly recommend, despite it lacking native support, though. [[http://www.xpadder.com/ Xpadder works wonders to me!]][[/note]] -- @/VPhantom
233	** Why, thank you very much; I'll certainly do my best to live up to your expectations! I hadn't heard of that game before, actually; I shall certainly have to give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation!
234	* [[TheRoom Ohai Egregious]]. -- @/{{Boxen}}
235	** Hey, thanks for stopping by! I haven't seen TheRoom yet myself; I take it that's one I shouldn't miss?
236	*** If you want to see it, you're in for a {{Narm}}tastic SoBadItsGood time. OrSoIveHeard. [[AC:Haven't seen it myself...]] -- Boxen
237	** You surprise me! I had you pegged as more of the high-brow type, honestly. I ''love'' {{Narm}}, so it's officially on my list now.
238	* 'Twas awesome to meet a fellow ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' fan! We must play together soon. :D -Tropers/TheMike
239	** Indeed it was! Prepare yourself, Sir. :) @/EgregiousOne
240	* Thanks again for the help with my contributor's page! Very much appreciated. --@/{{danna45}}
241	** My pleasure; I'm always happy to assist!
242	* '''[[JokingMode THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PLAY A VIOLIN, THE BOW GOES IN FRONT OF THE BRIDGE NOT BEHIND IT DZDEFRFSZRFZDEAWRED]]''' -- A facepalming @/{{Boxen}}
243	** Hah! Perhaps Moko-kun was merely astute enough to know that I actually don't play the violin at all. :)
244	* I loved all that kissing earlier... Can we do it again? --@/{{SaintDeltora}}
245	** ''My'' you're forward, for a saint. :)
246	* '''''[[InJoke Chocolate Syrup ~ Yaoi Surprise]]''''', ''anyone?'' -[[Tropers/TheMike The SuperUke]]

248	* {{Hello}} again. -- @/{{Boxen}}
249	** Heavens only know what ''you're'' doing here, you twelve-fingered git. :)

253	* ''Put the bang in interrobang? Why, whatever do you mean?~'' -[[Tropers/TheMike SuperUke]]
254	** Oh, you'll find out. ;)
255	* Dude. The ColonyDrop thing. Just stahp.-- @/{{Omega Shadowcry}}
256	** I do sincerely apologize for that coming across as a personal attack. It wasn't meant to be; that sort of thing happens a lot in the Tower thread.
257	** Its okay. I probably felt to tired to think up a creative response.
258	* Realised I haven't been here yet. So... now I have. Yep. Thanks for popping into the FG! ~@/{{GameSpazzer}}
259	** It's been my pleasure. :) Thanks for the visit!
260	* Egg-kun! It felt inappropriate for me to leave my clone without a personal hello. :P -- @/{{TopographicOcean}}
