Well, I just joined. xD
The user name was random, if you're staring at it and wondering why it's so cliche; I'm open to any nicknames you'd ever desire to call me by, even if it has nothing at all to do with my current name. >>; But I'm rambling...
I'm coming off a (quite short) roleplaying hiatus. Well, I wouldn't really call it a hiatus; rather, it was a gap when I didn't know what I wanted to do. I recently closed my site, which was almost a year old, due to very personal reasons. With that off my chest, I've been feeling really great and kind of wanting to write again. I actually joined Remnants of the Earth, well, who knows how long ago... And I am deeply ashamed to say that I was one of those "join then instantly leave" members. That was back when I was too busy running my site, and on an activity high I decided I could take on another. However, I'm back here!
I've greatly admired this site for a while (well, ever since I knew it existed, which hasn't been for more than a year or two; I found it through Rhi-Rhi's signature and comments on RPGC) and I loved how you guys can have a game that's so freeform and lax without being chaotic. I'm one of the younger roleplayers (seventeen in twenty days) who fell into the generation of "you must have bio forms and word counts and this and that and here are our rules." While I desired to join a game that wasn't so uptight, I was too afraid that mine wouldn't work, but now I can come here and post without stressing about restrictions. And that's really what roleplaying should be about. I want it to be like the good old days when I sucked and made quickfire posts with my close friends (without the sucking part).
Some things about me... Well, I hate introductions for one. xD I love a lot of the standard stuff - video games (hooray Zelda, Pokemon, and other games I've started and never beaten!), writing (hello, stories I've never finished!), drawing on my good days (usually I accept that I suck and don't bother), reading (a lot by normal standards, but not so much compared to avid readers), et cetera - and don't see very much unique about me, but maybe that'll change. Besides roleplaying and school and chatting with friends, marching band makes up a lot of my life. I'm going to be a senior in high school, and with this being my last year to march, I hope to become the leader of the flute section. Marching band really helped me come out of my shell (even if I'm still quiet to normal people's standards), and I hope I can continue with some personal growth by trying out for a leadership position in the band.
Here, however, you might notice that I'll be quiet. xD I might observe more than I go out and post, but soon I'll work up the courage to contact people and plot. Even though this looks like a very helpful, friendly community, I always make the assumption that I'll annoy people, even the slightest bit, by asking them to take time out of their day to plot with me.
That's my brief story. xD Or maybe not so brief.
