All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXVIII

[Bob Schroeck]

"If this hadn't happened, there would be no Dirty Pair, and thus no Undocumented Features, and thus no TV Tropes entry (by User:Looney Toons) for UF, and thus no notice of that page by User:Labster, and thus no visit by Labster to Looney Toon's forum, and thus no discovery that other Tropers were also annoyed by the then-current state of affairs at TV Tropes, and finally no desire to Start Our Own. It sounds like Insane Troll Logic, but it's true."

Hm. Okay, I guess I'm impatient -- I just put an edit of that on the History page. To the best of my recollection, I didn't create the Undocumented Features (and I don't take credit for it only my user page) -- I just kind of took it over and made it just a liiiiiitle bit larger.

You don't need to tell me about that kind of thing. If I hadn't flirted with a cute brunette named Lisa at an SCA event in 1985, I would never have met Peggy (and Lisa would never have been her maid of honor -- and no, they didn't know each other before I introduced them), I never would have gotten into V&V and GURPS, and my writing career, if it existed at all, would have gone in a completely different direction.

And who knows what I'd be doing with my non-work life, too, if it wasn't for GURPS IST and GURPS Camelot eventually leading me here.

<nod> I try not to think too hard along those lines, even if I'm focusing on the good stuff. That way lies madness. But still... wow. Lisa affected your life, too. I'll have to let Peggy know.

EDIT: For those curious and don't already know, the Story of Lisa can be found here.
