So, how did I get here, you ask? :)
OK, so technically, you didn't really ask, but I'm gonna tell you anyway! Actually, it's kind of a funny story (wait, wasn't that the name of a movie that just came out...?), anyway, one day I was in need of some Mario-related information, so naturally I Googled "Cataquack", which just happened to be what I was looking up. To make a long story short, guess where I eventually ended up? That's right! Right here on the Super Mario Wiki! Of course, at that point, I had no idea what that even was, but I checked out a few articles after Cataquack (which was the first page I ever viewed on the Super mario Wiki), and noticed a few errors on some of them. So, I created an account, logged in, and fixed 'em. When I started to learn what it was about, I kept editing stuff for a while. Of course, it took me a while to learn the codes and everything, but I think it's safe to say I'm a pretty fast learner! Eventually, I got enough edits, and after a week, I became autoconfirmed, and the rest is history! Ever since then, I've been on here pretty much every day of my waking existence, just editing here and there, creating an article or two every now and then...but anyway, view more details of my past exploits below!

A Little Note About My Wiki-related Activities...
Okay, so if you actually made it down this far, you've probably read quite a lot already, so I'll try not to write too much more (no promises though!)...anyway, personally, I think I'm a little bit better when it comes to designing graphs and/or lists of things than anything else (hence my penchant for Sporcle.com, another website that I think is completely awesome!) and have done so on a few pages that I noticed didn't already have them (namely: Cosmic Spirit, Red Coin, Star Chip, Grand Star, Silver Star, and Flipswitch). I have also edited a few pages here and there, mostly just where I noticed there were any major errors (some better than others obviously; I apologize for my many mistakes). At the risk of sounding extremely conceited, I am also a self-proclaimed expert on all things 3D Mario (Super Mario 64 - Super Mario Galaxy 2), taking second only to the Banjo-Kazooie series, which I have spent probably half of my life playing, and know pretty much everything in it like the back of my hand. Though I admit I have pretty much no experience whatsoever with the Paper Mario games (excluding Super Paper Mario).
