“All his life as he looked away — to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was! What he was doing!”
— Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back

I first discovered TV Tropes 10 years ago (cannot believe it's been that long) when reading an article, which linked to Stuffed into the Fridge. From there, I read about Fridge Logic, and from there I became addicted. Every movie I saw I thought about the tropes that would apply. Every new trope I saw I looked for examples they didn’t consider. I used to go to the movies every weekend and see every movie nominated for an Oscar, but having kids made this much more difficult. Troping helped fill that void.

My favorite activity on TV Tropes was initially adding tropes to media pages, but now I most enjoy adding page quotes to trope and media pages and uploading videos. You can typically find me in the Quotes and Video forums.
