Hola, bonjour, ciao, hälsningar, γειά σου! I go by a few different names, but here I think you all can call me James. My friend Aiobhan encouraged me to join this site. :]
I've been roleplaying for nearly eight years (although how old I am I'll leave you to guess), and while I'm a pretty good writer, I'm preeetty rusty as far as extended forum roleplays go. So we'll see how it goes here. Medieval fantasy is where I started my roleplaying career, and it looks like that's where I've come around to again, fancy that.
Outside of the Internet, I ballroom dance (waltz is my favourite), read historical fiction, act in Shakespeare's plays, watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, and very much enjoy the company of animals. I take public transportation occasionally into San Francisco. My favourite flavour of ice cream is lavender, which I tasted last summer in southern France. I love Les Miserables, the book and the show equally (although who agrees that Javert was horribly mistreated in the musical?). I enjoy debating politics but lately have gotten tired of the incessant number of US presidential candidates. Hell, I'LL run for president, too.
I like meeting new people, so hopefully once I sort out the six or seven characters I already want to create, I'll get to meet all of you on the roleplay boards. C:
