Why am I posting this? Oh hi tropey troper tropish heliotropes. I like everybody and am terrified of everybody. Sanity and sanatee are optional. Proper capitalization is not. My life has been changed by valkyrie profile, but that was a long time ago. More recently my life was changed by muse. That is why I must now have all the peace and joy in your mind. Hand it over. Thank you. Also I like games and things.
I am Paulus X, 20 years old physics student from the Netherlands with a passion for chess, video games and good beer.
"Democracy is the art of running the circus from the monkey cage." - H.L.MenckenHi. I'm Mike. My real name is Michael. I lack creativity when it comes to names.
Lessee...I'm majoring in Computer Science, like to read a lot, like to watch anime, don't actually like most of what's on TV (I'll make an exception for Discovery and Adult Swim). I'm an INTP, although I tend to be rather more extroverted on the internet than IRL. IRL, I'm about as introverted as they come (you know that one guy, who's always sitting by himself with a book? Yeah, that's me).

Howdy. Intrepid Sovereign's the name. I usually go by a Sith-themed handle on message boards, but everyone can use a change of pace every once in a while, right?
Basically, I'm a writer who's been furiously scribbling away for over thirty years. Star Trek reruns in the 70's and the original Star Wars got me interested in sci-fi. I thought I wanted to get published, but after I actually wrote a novel, I guess I got that bug out of my system. I'm quite outspoken about the SW prequel trilogy (built my website around criticism of it). So much so that I was run off the biggest SW forum on the web. How's that for notorious? ;)
I've been lurking for about a week so thought I'd say hi. You can lose yourself on this site for hours, it's so addicting. I find myself nodding when I come across tropes I've used and abused over the years. :D
EDIT: and why is my name in red?

Intrepid Trek - it's not always about the destination...Oh, so I guess I should put something there, huh? :)
Intrepid Trek - it's not always about the destination...Um...let's see here.
I have a very active imagination. I'm pretty passionate about creativity and art, although I have yet to really find my true calling. But one thing's for sure: I really would like to finish the myriad stories bouncing around my head and my desk in some form. It's really the only thing I can see myself doing in the long term.
That said, I also love reading about stuff (obviously). Years of reading crap on the internet has probably taught me more about the world than public school ever did. I lurked here for a long time, and have semi-recently began fulfilling my civic duty by adding examples.
Oh, and my interests include reading, science, and vidya gaem. I really don't do enough reading on science these days...
Hi, and Happy New Year to all. I'm a serial lurker and this site already gave me many hours of fun, so I decided I'd make my presence known. (This is a bit like the moment when Wednesday smiles at the perky campers in Addams Family Values.) My favourite medium is literature ... the one I'm least experienced with is probably real life. It's nice meeting everyone. Catch you later when I have something to say.
A luck of great gravity is involved in these events.I'm Hydronix, one of the biggest Quest 64 fans around. I'm just waiting for somebody to literally start the aforementioned game's entry, and I'll fill(probably) the rest.
Anyhoo, nice to meet you all.
Quest 64 threadOh crap we have one of these?
Well, uhhh...I've done a bunch of editing and made some topics and such already. Everything you need to know about me is already on my TV Tropes page.
And, uhhh...well...hi. ^_^;;
stupid logo redesign makes me change my avatar!

I'm Starbound2. I, uh... don't know what to say about myself.
...I like Yotsuba&! and Azumanga Daioh. So, yeah. o.o
Oh, and I added the Yotsuba&! example in the Gushing About Shows You Like manga section, the Odin Sphere Ingway example in Well Done Son Guy, and I asked a friend to add the God of War WMG since I didn't know how.
