Hey, nice to meet you all here on TV Tropes. I'm just your average geek and internet lurker, and enjoy books, some anime, graphic novels, and a good movie every now and then. I like to study biology, Joseon period art, the kazoo, ornithology, philosophy, internet phenomena, the kazoo, the art of John Audobon, herbal remedies, the Bible, and, of course, the kazoo. I'm still a bit new around here, so please be patient with any ineptness on my part :)
This troper provides examples of:
- Angst? What Angst?: Seriously, too much melodrama just drives me up the wall. I'd rather spend to little time angsting about something than too much, although the mileage my vary depending on the situation.
- Apologises a Lot: In person, yes. On the internet, not so much.
- Born in the Wrong Century: Although, seeing how the turn of the millennium was only about a decade ago...
- Cannot Convey Sarcasm: Arg, I promise I was joking. I really wasn't about to go throw your grandmother's neighbor's puppy off the top of the water-tower. You can't go up there without a permit anyway.
- The Drag-Along: Oh so much...
- Famous Ancestor: My mother claims that we have royal Silla blood somewhere in our veins. Then again, I'm pretty sure half the people in Korea have a prince or princess somewhere in their family tree — it's a small country.
- Ignore the Fanservice: Well, it's not like a lot girls don't do this routinely anyway. Come on, we're on the internet here.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: When I can get away with it.
Favorite Authors
- Louisa May Alcott
- Chaim Potok
- C.S. Lewis
- Irene Hunt
- Terry Pratchett: Seriously, it's hard to find someone who's read his works that doesn't like them.
Favorite Anime
Favorite Manga
- Twentieth Century Boys
- Yotsuba
- Bakuman: No, seriously, this manga has inspired me to become a graphic novelist. Talk about easily influenced.
- Otoyomegatari: NEEDS MORE LOVE. Seriously, the artwork and detail of the thing blows the mind.
Favorite Webtoons
- Cheese In The Trap: To bad the English translations got discontinued...
- The Three Times: Webcomic exploring the impact of cross-cultural raising in Korea? Count me in!
- Tower Of God: Splendid action-adventure at it's finest.
- Dr Frost: It's a bit dramatized, but a lot of the stuff I'm learning in Intro to Psych can actually relate. Fun read :)
- Ensemble
- Welcome To The Convenience Store
...darn, and those are just my favorites. Maybe I should start cutting back a bit.
As can be clearly seen by my listing, I am a horrible entertainment snob.
- Update: I'm in a bit of a Korean Webtoons craze currently, so I'm trying to get this under-appreciated genre some more love on this site. If you need help starting a page for a series or something, just PM me and I'll see what I can do to help.
