User:HungryPaperweight

Special Notice: This page is waaaay out-of-date. I'm planning to completely re-write it sometime this summer, but for now the opening and the Goals section probably aren't worth reading. I've also been re-thinking my choice of element: based on what's written in the user categories, I'd say I have some aspects of both Venus and Jupiter Adepts, and I don't know how to decide between two opposing elements.

Hello. My name's...well, you can see that just by looking up a bit. Oh, my real name? Well, if I wanted you to know that, I would've incorporated it into my User name like Erik did. I still feel kinda new here (does almost two months count as new?), and I'm still learning more about editing and wikis in general, but I'd say that I've done quite a bit considering how long I've been here (maybe a little too much at once, though). I don't know if I can match up to what everyone else has already done, but I love the Golden Sun games so much that I don't care what I can do as long as I can help. Actually, I've been keeping an eye on this wiki since it was still relatively young (only 100 and some articles), but one day I finally decided I should help out too. I just didn't think I'd get so much done so quickly, but that's probably just because I've had a little too much free time on my hands lately. Life is starting to catch up to me, though so its only a matter of time before my updates slow down.

About me
Before I go any further, I should probably tell you a little bit about myself. Well, I'm a 20-year-old guy (I'm too old to really call myself a boy, but I don't really feel like a man), and I attend Lane Community College (in Oregon). Nothing fancy, I know, but I'm sure most of us are just average people in the first place.

I'm a pretty introverted type of person, but like most people I have some traits from both ends of the spectrum. Don't go assuming that I'm shy, though. I'm just not all that comfortable around people I don't know well, so I don't usually go out of my way to meet new people or make new friends. That's OK with me though, 'cause I enjoy time to myself (especially after spending 14+ years with my younger brother who seems to talk almost as much as he breathes). Also, I like to figure out what I want to say before making the mistake of saying it, so I'm not usually very talkative despite having a lot to say (hence the reason this page is so long). This changes some when I'm with my family, but I still prefer to think about what I say before I actually say it (my brother doesn't usually give me the opportunity, though).

I spend most of my spare time playing video games or on the computer, unless there's a show on I like. I also enjoy reading books, just so long as I can find one that interests me. Sometimes I like to draw, but I'm not terribly good at it. I'd have to say that my favorite passtime is spacing out; I have an overactive imagination, so sometimes I just like to lay there and let it run wild.

There are a few things I think I should warn you about myself, none of which sound like me based on what I wrote above (then again, I never said I was a stereotype). First of all, I can be a bit impatient and have a short temper at times (due in part to my brother), but I have more than enough time while typing to make sure I don't blow up on someone (I hope). Sometimes I imagine conversations in my head and I've noticed that I sometimes start rambling on something fairly simple or get off track easily, so I'd like to apologize ahead of time should I do that while editing. (While on the subject of editing, I also seem to use parenthesis a lot while typing, but you may have noticed that by now. If I make any major edits that seem to have a lot of parenthesis, I'd appreciate it if you went ahead and rewrote it so it has less. Except for places where it's okay, like here or on talk pages.)

Goals
In the past I've had two major goals here: to make all un-made equipment articles and to expand most of the location stubs. I've since postponed my first goal (equipment) and expanded my second goal to include any stubs. I guess you could say my current motto is "Quality over quantity". If there are any equipment articles you would like me to make, just let me know on my request page. Until then, I'm going to be improving what we have rather than adding something brand new.

Random end-of-page stuff
The title should be self-explanatory.

Project Quintessence is something I've been working on (slowly) for a couple of years now. I just felt like sharing it with you. Click away!

While I was surfing the net the other day I decided to look for Golden Sun videos. Most were pretty lame, but this one was pretty good. In fact, I'm listening to it as I type right now. You might like it too, but no promises. My favorite part is the Summon collage on Venus Lighthouse.

Check this out.

Random quotes I made up. They kind of just popped into my head. They don't neccessarily make any sense, but that's what makes them funny. You may notice that most have to do with either animals or food. Mmmmm, food......
 * I'm the world's hungriest paperweight! (This was the first one I thought of, and my personal favorite. Hence my choice of user name.)
 * Cheese gives my ears gas...
 * Never use a porcupine for a toothbrush. (One of my favorites)
 * If there's one thing I don't have, it's penguins.
 * The dogs just ate all my toothpicks!
 * GFM: Giant Flaming Marsupials.
 * This is all part of some elaborate plot to steal my Chicken Noodles. (Even I'm not sure where this one came from, and I'm the one who made it up!)
 * I came, I saw, I used the john.
 * I think I ate a yam. (It's not obvious, but it's supposed to be a spoof of "I think therefore I am")
 * 100 coconuts don't make you an elephant
