Still blurting..

Where was I? Oh ya, online confidence..

On this site, back when I started, the hype was adoptions. People adopted each other, and creating these weirdly mixed families where hobbits were mothers to minions, elves and ents. Complete chaos, but so much fun.

Me, being how I am as a person, of course couldnt say no or stand there and see someone not have a family. So I of course adopted everyone in sight :p I think in total, adding everyone over the years, even those that left or did not want to be adopted anymore, I adopted like 20-30 people. Though the most I had at one time was 12 children. Or was it 14... :p

With all these kids, I of course needed a father for them, so I was always on the lookout for a potential husband and after having asked 2 who turned me down I dared ask one more who surprisingly said yes. Thinking back, it all seems so silly, I mean I was after all almost 28 at the time. But it really was fun. Suddenly I had so many friends, many whom I also talked to on AIM (god I feel old now :p)

My hubby is a subject for it self, and will make a separate entry for him.

Anyways, we totally rocked the Parties section, with tons of party threads and of course tons of adoption threads. It did get way out of hand, and adoption threads were banned from the forum altogether. I do regret being a part of it ending that way, though I do not regret all the fun we had doing it.

Having been a member now for a few months and getting more used to posting I was dying to try out this role playing stuff that all the Kingdoms were filled with. But I still felt intimidated by the threads in my home Kingdom, so I made a thread in the Off Topic section and asked if anyone was interested in starting a newbie rpg, one where we could learn how to role play, how to make more descriptive posts, so peoples eyes didnt bleed when reading them :P

One girl jumped at the opportunity, being an avid role player herself and completely took charge of the thread and set us off on our quest.
It was great fun, though still in a forum that was packed with off topic threads. The turnover there was insane, I mean really insane. Your thread could get buried on page 5 in a matter of seconds. So we went to the Rulers of my kingdom and begged them to move the rpg to the kingdom, which they surprisingly did.

And that was the start of me and roleplaying really.

But I never got into that kingdom, and it wasnt until I moved kingdoms that I really got into roleplaying, something I do occasionally still enjoy doing, even though I left that site 1½-2 years ago.
