This Might Destroy You

Some may ask "so, David, where have you been and what have you been doing lately?"

Admittedly it's not exactly an FAQ, but inbetween panicking an essay out (it's not a piece of writing, it is a piece of panic) I have been having my soul slowly drained by this site. The TV tropes wiki.

Now, I was introduced to this a good few months ago and didn't see what the fuss was about. Then randomly I looked up a phrase I'd heard about "fridge logic" which then inevitably lead to one long "wiki walk" that is yet to end.

Try it for yourself and see where you end up.

Additional Notes:
My personal favourites: Jumping the Shark and the Batman Gambit. So many funny semi-serious names and so little time....

On the plus side, the whole thing is oddly inspirational. If I can coin a popular trope through my writing, I will actually feel acomplished...

I wish I could go back in time and unlearn that this timesuck of a website (tv tropes) existed!
