== Tropes that apply to Brent: ==
* [[For Science]]: Science is always a valid reason for all sort of social experiments, right?▼
* [[Newspeak]]: Brent is fluent in it due to his participation in the [[The Ministry of Truth|Inner Party]] of the Students for an Orwellian Society (at UCD)▼
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: Maybe he would have actually gotten a degree in grad school if he weren't involved in other fields.▼
* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]: UC Davis' ASUCD runs the city bus service, and that's not even half the budget.▼
* [[Student Council President]]: Well, more like vice president (for external affairs) in the Grad Student Association, but in the undergrad association, he was more like [[The Man Behind the Man]]▼
* [[All Elections Are Serious Business]]: *sigh*, too much student government stuff, in addition to running polling places for City Council elections.▼
* [[If Its You Its Okay]]: With a college friend, though he sadly has an [[Incompatible Orientation]], so we're still [[Just Friends]]▼
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: The relationship between me and my current not-a-girlfriend.
* [[Edit War|Edit Warrior]]: Veteran of the Edit Wars over on Davis Wiki, though I've been told that less than 6% of my over 5000 edits were reverts, so not that bad. (For users of this wiki, take that to mean that Edit Wars are not all that bad -- refusing to compromise is the actual problem for most Edit Warriors.)▼
* [[Spoony Bard]]: Brent tends to [[Jack of All Trades|avoid specialization]] and sings tenor. And play Bard [[Player Characters]] too often.▼
* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: constantly▼
* [[Principia Discordia]]: Made a pilgrimage to Emperor Norton's grave on [[Five Five Five|5-5-05]].▼
▲* [[For Science!]]: Science is always a valid reason for all sort of social experiments, right?

▲* [[If
* [[The Lancer]]: My most comfortable position is in helping someone else get to the top, and giving them [[What the Hell, Hero?]] speeches when they need it. I am not comfortable being the lead administrator of this site, but here we are. I hope this means I'm just more open other people's input, and I'll grow into [[The Hero]].
▲* [[Newspeak]]:
** [[Insane Troll Logic|Orwellian Goodthink]]: Playing the [[Strawman Political]] at the [[Bourgeois Bohemian|Whole Earth Festival]] was just too much fun. Naturally, the [[Ayn Rand|Objectivist club]] thought we were [[Late to the Punchline|serious]].
* [[Occidental Otaku]]: My telecommuting job just enables my [[Crack is Cheaper|anime addiction]].
▲* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: Maybe he would have actually gotten a degree in grad school if he weren't involved in other fields.
* [[Playful Hacker]]: Suspended in high school for "hacking", for walking through [[Swiss Cheese Security]] and literally using [[MS Paint]] to add a hammer-and-sickle to a find-your-career program's splash screen. My language of choice is [[Vaporware|Perl 6]], where I contributed a bit to the IO system of the [http://rakudo.org/ Rakudo] compiler, though I use Perl 5 the most for my day job.
▲* [[Principia Discordia]]: Made a pilgrimage to Emperor Norton's grave on [[
* [[Pungeon Master]]
▲* [[Spoony Bard]]:
* [[Smart People Wear Glasses]]: Well, book smart, anyway.
** [[Adjusting Your Glasses]]: Type 3. Make of that what you will.
▲* [[Student Council President]]: Well, more like vice president (for external affairs) in the Grad Student Association, but in the undergrad association, he was more like [[The Man Behind the Man]]
▲* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: constantly
▲** [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]: UC Davis' ASUCD runs the city bus service, and that's not even half the budget.
