[up][up]You're not alone. I have a fear of bees.

Just floating around...

I don't mind bees, just as long as they stay far, far away from me.

Wasps, though, are entirely another matter.

EDIT: What do you think of this video and others like it?

Hey guys!

...just saying 'hi' to the forums. I've been editing TV Tropes for about two years now, but never really wandered over to the forums. Until right this split second.

Hey there Mike. So TV Tropes wasn't ruining your life enough on the wiki side, so you joined the forum, so it could ruin your life some more?

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

Something along those lines, yeah! And heck yes, deathpigeon, I love nicknames. :D

So, yeah, I s'pose I'll get to setting up my Tropers page now. XD

Then you'll love me. I give out nickies like a prostitute at a sailors convention gives out her (or his) wares.

Pretentious Sky Cat: Then again, all my bravery goes away whenever I see a roach. *shivers*
I have twenty-nine fears. And still in counting, too. I doubt I'll have more than Adrian Monk, he has more than 300 phobias, if I remember correctly. (in bold because some people don't read and if people don't read then I get angrier than even I thought)

Completely Normal Guy: Hey there Mike. So TV Tropes wasn't ruining your life enough on the wiki side, so you joined the forum, so it could ruin your life some more?
My life hasn't been ruined yet. Guess that makes me... boring or something. The wiki side, I haven't even edited anything there yet.

Not that I really mind, considering that I've gotten used to being insulted since 23 January 2003 to 7 March 2011. So insults are basically a waste on me.

The Mike: So, yeah, I s'pose I'll get to setting up my Tropers page now. XD
That's the only page I have ever edited. I'm afraid of getting in trouble or something if I edit other pages. Including the page I wanted to edit when I first joined.

rhosymedre: ... I don't have a nickname ;_;
Arem? Rhossy? (Just trying to help, of course, although more often than not I end up in trouble for helping others...)

...

I actually have two nicknames. Shane, and Bane. The only use my full name actually has is to prevent people from getting confused with this guy.

EDIT: Wow, triple ninja'd. At least not ninja'd by ten members simultaneously. tongue

That and I only respond to "Shane" and "Bane". And sometimes (but very rarely) on "Wayne Jakobus Michael the Dark Master of Death and Destruction and Chaos and Oblivion" (only during Halloween of which I know almost nothing about because it's not celebrated in South Africa as far as I know).

Any other names, I ignore. That as a result of being insulted, mocked, bullied, beat up, blamed for everything, and who knows what else, since 23 January 2003 to 7 March 2011. Yes, that really did happen to me. That (and getting detention for something that I didn't even do) led to me leaving school for good. I was bleeding almost every single school day. But did anybody care? Nope, nobody did. Not even the teachers.
