Line #49 Tropers/Specialist290


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.

11	Member of {{CHOPSTICKS}}, {{KNIVES}}, {{PLATTER}}, and {{WHISK}}.

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.
