Hey I'm GrandNinjaMasterRen. Just call me Ren, though.

I'm older than I look and younger than I feel.I'm the kind of person who doesn't like talking about his likes and dislikes, my dreams for the future are none of your business, and anyway I have lots of hobbies.

If any of you got that reference you'd know that I like Naruto. I also like Legend of Zelda. I tend to pull a Kakashi and show up late to everything.

Some wisdom from the Grandmaster...

The review button exists for a reason. Some people actually like feedback and get self conscious when none arrives.

One who chases after two hares won't catch even one.

Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Some interesting facts about me:

I'm in the marching band.

I have extreme psychopathic tendencies.

I once wrote a poem inspired by Deidara's suicide for an extra credit assignment in Literature class (The Artist's Exhibition).

I wrote a Star Wars themed musical.

I was inspired to write said Star Wars themed musical after watching the off Broadway version of In the Heights- the song that inspired me was 'Blackout'.

Harry Potter and the Nightguard was intended to be a oneshot of an older Mike explaining how he could see thestrals without having seen someone die.

Ninety percent of my section in the band has DC comic themed nicknames. My best gal friend is Catwoman and my guy friend is Batman, but, because of the comments I made about their (supposedly nonexistent) relationship I'm and I quote "Robin, the dead one. What's his name again?" Jason Todd, Red Hood, Bad boy-comic book edition. In other words about as far away as you can get from me. (Edit- I have now been re-branded as the Riddler. Clearly someone has actually paid attention to me.}

I often impersonate Shikamaru Nara around my best gal friend because it ticks her off when I say that verbally sparring with her is too troublesome.

I've had a reoccurring dream about looking for yogurt in a cafeteria-turned-outdoor-art-museum at least once a week for the past eight years.
