Hey there. Name's Tyler.

I like spontaneous human combustion, Mongolia, art, ice cream cake, pretzels, forums and some other stuff. I'm not trying to be quirky or anything, I just don't go out much.

But seriously, what's up people? Tell me something about yourself!

To put it simply, I alliterate all too often, and it makes me feel funny.

I also alluded to another word just a minute ago that goes along with your 'quirkyness'.

I am a 'peculiar' person who is a perfectionist yet procrastinates persistently.

I'd like to extend my welcoming to you, and with that, my coupled hopes that you feel good enough to stay and chat awhile.

Thanks!

This is a big forum (SHOCKING, I KNOW!) and I don't usually post at big forums. Usually small-but-not-too-small forums, and I couldn't find any forums that weren't dying and I'm tired of finding forums just as they're dying. So I saw this one and I thought, "Well, I'll have to try a big forum." Since this is a forum with lots of activity, I can see myself staying around and chatting.

I want the forum to know that I am also a writer. I also want to direct a movie after -- or maybe during, who knows, maybe I won't be broke -- I write my book. Creating stuff that'll probably only be read by like 5 people is my only skill (though I don't think I'm that great, I've had some decent enough reaction *shrugs*). If I don't write or whatever, then I just have my piddily little grocery store job that I don't like. 6 years in Grocery, in a couple different stores, yo.

But yeah, this looks like a nice forum.

This post has been an experiment in how many times I can say forum or forums. Forum.

Edit: Oh yeah, I doubt anybody actually wonders but about my avatar:

It's from this video and this makes me laugh to no end.

It I find out that it's intentional comedy then I'll be really disappointed but then I'll think Scott Storch is one of the funniest guys I've never met. He's also from the same province as me. Real gangsta.

A rather large welcome to this wonderful madness we call TFP!

Howdy.

I like ferns.

I prefer wild ferns, but I'll take a potted one in a pinch.
