Mischief incarnate

Greetings to you all!

I am DorianGray (note the lack of space, so as not to confuse me with the character I'm named for). My close friends call me Seany-sama (or just Seany), which is what I'd prefer to be called if you must refer to me by name. Tai also works. Although I have now also become accustomed to being called Dorian (and Gary, at least on IRC). Around here, you may also know me as Annonymous User Number 69.139.163.12. This account was made at the suggestion to make an account. (Well, it was made earlier, but only just for a test. There was never any formal acknowledgement of a link between the two until now.) Most of my edits have been--but, unfortunately, probably won't continue to be--made by that name. I have grown a peculiar attachment to it, however. Yeah, I'm weird.

About Me

Well, now I suppose is the point where I talk about myself. I'm male. I'm twenty-something. I live in Pennsylvania--but you wouldn't guess it from my speech. I'm very hung up on England, Texas, and Hawaii (my three best friends live in those locations), and my speech reflects it (and I type exactly the way I speak, so there you go).

Non-H*R Interests

Trying to list my non-H*R interests could take hours, so I'll just say I'm an anime and Nintendo freak and leave it at that. If you want a further list, I'll make one. Otherwise, skip to the next section.

My Interests

• Pokémon (The games, not the anime. Although the movies are good.)
• the Harry Potter books
• Teen Titans
• The Batman
• The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
• Ben 10
• Digimon
• Seinfeld
• Drawn Together
• Futurama
• Mission Hill
• Venture Bros.
• several other manga (it's a long list, so I dun wanna take up too much of your time)
• Teen Titans comics. And Grant Morrison's run of the Doom Patrol. And Batman TPBs. They rock. Pretty much most things by DC.
• Also newspaper comics. Get Fuzzy, Calvin and Hobbes, FoxTrot, Pearls Before Swine, and Dilbert are all awesome.
• various Nintendo games, such as Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Soul Calibur II, Luigi's Mansion, Skies of Arcadia Legends, and Golden Sun. Twilight Princess isn't bad either (but only coz of Midna).
  • Also a few PlayStation games, namely Soul Calibur III, the Kingdom Hearts series, and Okage: Shadow King
• El Goonish Shive, The Wotch, and various other webcomics
• Bonus Stage, Weebl and Bob, and, to a lesser extent, Happy Tree Friends
• mythology, magic, and similar stuff
• Nonsense
• Catgirls and similar. Fox girls, wolf girls, squirrel girls... Bat girls?
• my vast store of characters and stories, which haven't gone much of anywheres yet
• roleplaying. The storytelling kind, not the pen-and-paper D&D kind.
• action movies, especially various comic book movies and the James Bond films
• movies from the '80s. Like Ghostbusters, Poltergeist, and Back to the Future. '80s movies rock.
• Anything with Tara Strong's voice
• England, Hawaii, and Florida. And Canada too, to some extent.
• drawing, video games, and voice acting. Good stuff for hobbies.
• animals. Particularly anything aquatic (especially rays and squid), along with cats, wolves, foxes, fennecs, squirrels, and various species of insect(s). And bats. I like bats.
• school (sort of), despite graduating on June 9th, 2005
• reading. Favourite authors include: K.A. Applegate, J.K. Rowling, Lemony Snicket, Gordon Korman, Stephen King, and Michael Crichton. Plus various manga-ka and comic book writers/artists.
• emoticons. It's very hard to get an answer out of me without use of at least one emoticon--even in a handwritten letter. =3
• meeping and meeping
• Pretzels, pudding, bacon, and Hot Pockets. While not healthy, I could live on these, my most favourite foods.
• Proper spelling and grammar. On the same tack, I absolutely abhor Internet Slang.
• Friendship. Most important of all. Closest friends include Loopy, Neekko, Lysinias, and Wolfy

H*R and Me

My introduction to Homestar, Strong Bad, and the rest can be attributed to my friend Koneko. She's to blame. She sent me a link to sibbie, and it all went from there. I can also tell you that it was sometime between colonization and video games, based on the scroll button song. As of now, I have seen every single thing on the site. I consider myself to be a wealth of information, but I really get it all from this wiki right here. I don't even visit the main site to check for updates anymore...

Stinkoman

Stinkoman is by far my favourite character. I'd love for there to be a real 20X6 anime. I'd watch it. The game is a good start, but for the life of me, I can't beat a single stage of it (except 3.2, and even that takes a good 45 minutes or more). It's still fun anyways. Stinkoman, incidentally, was how I found the HRWiki. I did a Google Image search for Stinkoman, and one link lead here (it was this particular image, if you were curious). Anyways, I'm here now, and here I will stay. It's where I spend most of my time online.

Me and the Wiki

My contributions: A myriad of weird things.

Well. That bit about Stinkoman told you how I found the place. And, if you're too busy to look at my contributions, I'm-a tell you what it is I do here. This'll go quick, dun worry.

• I make a number of small edits that try to aid the Wiki. I mean, tons of them. Look at the last entry on my interests list to see why. I've also gotten quite good at noticing vandals and reverting them. Much fast am I.
• I like voting on STUFF. I watch all the entries I vote on the way someone might watch a favoured sports team. It's about all the excitement I get.
• As such, from my STUFF watching (and a like of reading talk pages), I have an encyclopedic knowledge of declined Fun Facts. This helps get rid of bad stuff people like to keep adding.
• My best accomplishment is Sound Effects. On It's dot com's suggestion, I made the page. I have a love for making lists, and I made almost all that page myself. Some people helped with formatting, but I did almost all the content. And Smileyface11945 added the very cool OGG files to the page. Feel free to help me out too!
• I also like to clean and protect the wiki. I helped serve against the NSMC attack in November '05, and was subsequently rewarded with a special trophy, which makes me very happy when I look at it. ^-^ I also added a mass amount of "deleted" templates to the images that were not fair use.
• I was one of the highest hit in the mass spam-mail attack from the NSMC bot at 4,868 password reminder emails, second only to Bubsty.
• I fixed, like, all the debuts to bold the colon and appear before the appearance, through clever use of the search window and CTRL+F. It was actually kind of fun, in a tedious sort of way.
• I made the discovery that some pages were listing Places as having "Filmographies". After a brief discussion, I changed the few that had such a listing to "Appearances" (and one that had an "As seen in").
• I made the page for Main Page Glitches, but Jay actually made the table, and I can't take the credit for that. But I made the page.
• I also did a lot of work for Ham, looking up the appearances, adding the descriptions, and finally adding some links once it was accepted to stay.
• I created School somewhat at random, and was surprised it hadn't already been done. I also created a category for animals, which seemed to cause something of a craze (not my intent).
• I did the transcript (save for the Brain Sister lyrics) for Summer Short Shorts all by myself. Which is pretty awexome.
• I became a sysop on September 22nd, 2006. In all honesty, no matter what y'all said, I was not expecting that. o_o
• I's made the page T-Shirts, after several weeks of consideration. Set up as a semi-parody of the Store T-Shirts page, it displays various shirts found in the toons of a similar design. It's kinda clever, actually.
• Later, Kiddie Pool was also made by me. The pool has fishies on it. Yay.
• I also did the oh-so-difficult-and-necessary transcript (and, indeed, entire page for) the Ween 07 Teaser.
• How about that Toikey TV transcript? That was mine too. More of the "easy places to pause and update" type transcription. Funfun.
