~ No tag-backs.

1. My usual artistic tool of choice is Windows XP MS Paint, with a mouse. I have Photoshop 7.0, but I usually only use it for transparency, and Imageready 7.0, for the rare animation. I use every tool in the MS Paint disposal, including secrets to exploit.
2. I have a habit of skipping from fandom to fandom, but only occasionally picking up a character to fan over. How long I stick with a fandom depends on how much fan material there is about it and if the medium is finished or not; if the medium is complete, then I leave satisfied. If not, I dissipate from the fandom if no updates continue to rejuvenate me.
3. Though I sprite, I've been wanting to put up some of pencil sketches up--mostly of people--but my artistic skills don't satisfy my wishes. I have anatomy down; it's mostly I can't draw expressions or poses too well. I suppose I tend to overachieve.
4. I suppose I'm a savant in the media I'm lured in. It's a curse, almost, since this means I can identify exactly which artist animated a certain episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! and get irked of all the bad artists.
5. I loathe much of fandoms, ironically. From the fandoms I've been drawn to, well, deviantART has a lot of derivative art on the fanned media. I find those disgraces to the media's original intention. Though, this makes me exuberant when I actually do find good artwork out of Sturgeon's Law's filter.
6. Heh. One can blame most of this savant knowledge to TV Tropes. It indeed ruins and enlightens a life. It's like Wikipedia, where people explain their intricate knowledge of a subject, but unlike Wikipedia, I find it easy to digest and find a place for it in my neurons. Also unlike Wikipedia, there's little application of this knowledge outside similar fields online. If there is another troper in real life I meet, well... that's a huzzah for Sein Language [sic].
7. I have a habit, whether I want to or not, of making my writing garrulous. This is a writing/typing phenomenon mostly, since my speaking skills are not up to par. With writing, I'm able to think before I say what I think (get that?). Dialogue does not allow for these breaks.
8. I am very analytical when it comes to metasubjects, and I frequently think about what I think about. How many other people think about this recursiveness? Well, I do. I think about these things as if experiments, almost, and see if I can predict how these metasubjects react in later life.
9. I can be eloquent and rough within a small time span. Tropers know of this as Sophisticated as Heck. I do not lean toward either extreme--I am not the random, memetic, controversial loudspeaker or am I flat as a slice of crystal lattice. This is one thing dialogue-wise I can assume more than writing-wise; retorts and rebukes are made much more crude.
10. I have this... almost sinful habit of being condescending if something irritates me. I never use pejoratives--only when talking about these words themselves, not used in actual communication, but prefer to substitute a higher form of comment. I had had one occasion that that backfired (wordplay before), about experimenting on perceptions on written words by changing the tone of a paragraph, with few changes in actual wording. In short, I got antagonized and then the argument fizzled.
11: (Extra) My spiels can go on quite a bit if unrestrained, but I lack the ambition to finish them if time becomes an issue. Since time isn't, currently, you see before you a few paragraphs' worth of thought. How's that for '10 things about me'?

No tags, unless you want to write something of this stature.
