Most authors have a habit of inserting a quote that relates to their stories, so I think I'll try that with my user page:
"Since he has written that he already has a prior right to bespatter and besmirch the royal crown with (bad word), will we not have the posterior right to proclaim the (another bad word) tongue of the practitioner of posterioristics most fit to lick with his anterior the very posterior of a (bad word) she-mule until he shall have learned more correctly to infer posterior conclusions from prior premesis?" -- Saint Sir Thomas More
There. I believe I have failed miserably at quoting.
Now that I've cleared that from my system, I must congratulate you, as you are probably one of maybe twelve people who will actually find this user page and read it.
A Smidgen About Me
Location: Somewhere in Connecticut
Occupations: High School, Pizza Parlor Dishwasher
My areas of expertise include World, American, Christian and Modern History (I am working on Western Civilization) as well as American Literature (I am currently learning British Literature). As for areas that won't necessarily affect my future career, I am an expert in most trivia relating to Code Lyoko and I tend to notice small details that others would not necessarily see. I am interested in Western Civilization, British Literature, Christianity and writing. I like Code Lyoko, Battlestar Galactica (2003 remake), Dr. Who, science fiction, writing novels, drawing, debating Christianity with atheists, international cuisine, Corn Dogs, Pizza Burgers, Full racks of honey-BBQ ribs, travel (international and domestic), Sim City, backpacking, whitewater rafting, theme parks, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and being a Wikipedian. I dislike international politics, Americans who hate their country despite all it gives to them, Europeans who think the United States is more dangerous than Iran, populists, terrorists, bad Hollywood movies, self-congratulating journalitsts (i.e. Wolf Blitzer), paparazzi and lazy people.
Statement of My Mission on Wikipedia
I plan to contribute to the Code Lyoko section of this encyclopidia through edits (major and minor), new articles (I'm planning a couple at this point) and talk page suggestions. I may expand to other areas of Wikipedia (history, Christianity, Battlestar Galactica, etc.) later on. I also plan to be helpful to my fellow editors, the SysOps and not be a pain or time-waster.
Opinion of Wikipedia
Overall, I find this site to be one of humanity's better creations. It is incredibly helpful and informative and highly interactive, making joining, editing and talking a breeze. Since I am a computer noob, I'm VERY thankful for Wikipedia's use of simple syntax when formatting. Many of the site's helpful policies, its Barnstar reward system and various offshoots/features encourage a strong sense of community and achievement. Despite some arguments that break out, all in all I think Wikipedia is a wonderful addition to the internet and I look forward to furthering its cause.
The sections under this text line are mostly for my personal use. Read them as you wish, but you might get bored.

Journal of Recent Activites
- June 21: Proposed a new section for CL involving fan videos
- June 21: Idea rejected by Someguy on the grounds that Wikipedia was not a web directory
- June 22: Renovated my User Page in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines
- June 23: Recommended finishing the episode recaps
Constructive Opinions on Improvement
- I think Code: WIKI needs some serious janitorial work.
- User: KFan II's rules for Code: WIKI are preventing me from becoming a Lyokon. I'd gladly join, but he strongly discourages contributions to Wikipedia because he and Someguy are at EXTREME odds with each other. I think he should blunt his barbs.
- I'd like to keep my options open for now. I won't join Code: WIKI just yet.
- Need more images for the Code Lyoko pages. I'll investigate where needs are and contact the community.
- Some more Trivia I noticed could come in handy for the CL pages.
- The episode recaps for Seasons 1 and 2 (exempt TeddyGodzilla and Seeing is Believing) are incomplete. They need to be finished, preferably before Season 3 premiers so we don't get too far behind.
