The Optimistic Pessimist

When in doubt; if you have to ask an Is it just me, or...? question, it's probably just you.

About Me



I'm a manically depressed robot cleverly disguised as an irresponsible teenager.

I am 80% Evil Genius.
.. I am pure evil. I lie awake at night devising schemes of world domination, and I will not rest until all living souls bend to my will. Take the
Evil Genius Test
@ FualiDotCom

Which HP Kid Are You?

Yes, you heard right. I am an Evil Genius who bears an uncanny resemblance to Hermione Granger. Shaddap.

Anyone able to picture that will either have a headache or want to hang out. I encourage those people who got headaches to come and hang out with the rest of us. Don't worry, it'll all make sense later.
...hopefully...

My Interests

Books, Movies, Music, Videogames, Food, Bubbles, words that start or end with "X", manically depressed robot females, Gum, and Magnets (in no particular order)

want one?

I'd like to meet:

Other manically depressed robots cleverly disguised as anything that would like to hang out.
