Hit Me!
Seeing as I'm new around here, I figured the first order of business was to pop in over here and introduce myself. Unfortunately, I'm pretty bad at introducing myself (and this site gave me about ten 502 errors while trying to navigate here), so I'll try to keep it all cohesive.
I first started role playing... oh, maybe ten years ago, if I had to guess. I remember being excited whenever I got to use a computer in fifth grade because it meant I could keep up with my RP partners. Times were simpler then, aha. Anyway, the point is that this is a long-standing hobby of mine that I'm trying to pick up again.
I used to RP just about anything short of fandoms. I was (and still am, I suppose) too afraid to mess anything up in the worlds that other people have created. That said, I'm always willing to try something new. If I had to pick a favorite topic, though, I'd have to go with urban fantasy; I've always liked having a bit of a fantasy edge in my stories.
Outside of RP itself... I'm a multi-instrumentalist with a penchant for hard rock and metal. I write music in my spare time, but nothing ever comes of anything I write because I leave everything half-finished and forget where I wanted to take the piece. I also think I couldn't write coherent lyrics if my life depended on it, but then again, maybe I'm just my own worst critic.
I'm currently working (as an intern, admittedly) full-time in a STEM field, so I'm pretty busy most of the day. Strangely enough, I'm actually less busy now than I was when I was attending classes. That said, I can always find time during the day or in the afternoon to poke my head in here and see what I missed, so being busy should really translate to: "occasionally having things to do, sometimes." Ah well.
I'm a native English speaker and I don't speak any other languages fluently, but I can kind of speak Japanese, Spanish, and Swedish. I try to spend a little bit of time every day studying language to keep my mind active. I'm not sure of any practical applications for what I know, but, there you go.
That's probably more than anyone wanted to know about me, but hey. Gotta fill up this space somehow, right? Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to being a part of this community, and hoping that I don't get another 502 error thrown at me when I try to post this!
