I'm on winter break and can't respond to anything until after the new year

ApteryxRainWing This user shares her name with a hurricane that got its name retired for killing 1,192 people and she does not know how to feel about that
I'm Apteryx, I'm just some RainWing who figured out how to use a laptop. Yes, my name is the scientific name of the kiwi bird, that is intentional since they are my favorite animal behind the dragon. I'm a WikiDragon-WikiGnome thing that makes big edits but I also pay attention to details like spelling and grammar. Sometimes I go back and reword sentences though. Don't believe the propaganda about us WikiDragons, we like being petted.
I am a part of the welcoming committee, so I will sometimes have massive bursts of 25-50 edits where I go through the user creation log and place welcome messages on the talk pages of new accounts that have contributed. Yes, I know it looks like editcountitis, but I just want to help new users out. I've been doing this less since reaching EC status, because I now have the permissions I need to work on whatever articles I want, unimpeded by vandalism protections, but I plan to sometimes go through the user creation log and welcome a few people every now and then.
I exclusively use the visual editor because my brain is the size of a grape and it can't grasp the concept of wikitext, although you will occasionally see the "switched" tag in my edit history when I attempt to do something with the source editor that the visual editor is incapable of (such as repositioning userboxes on my userpage or correcting something on a Talk page).
I am a very indecisive writer, and you will often see me rephrasing my sentences until I am happy with them. Sometimes when I am writing, I get so caught up in the flow of "what comes after this sentence/paragraph" that I forget to re-read what I already wrote before I publish it. I also have a tendency to add useless inline links that I then remove as I reread my work and judge which links are helpful. I know it again looks like editcountitis, but that's not the case. I just am dumb.
I could probably go on for a dozen more paragraphs about myself, but I also like to have a readable user page, so feel free to ask anything on my talk page. If the banner at the top of the page isn't clear enough, please trout me if I do something dumb. Have a nice day, nerds!
