Well, me and my brother always did pretended scenario games, then he discovered dungeons and dragons. That's how I officially got into role playing. Later, when we first got internet, and brother was often away, I stumbled upon role play board in Neopets and it went from there (I was just 13 then and my English was HORRIBLE (I am not native speaker), haha).
I have always loved imagining things, creating characters, stories. Role playing is fun for me because you share ideas, you create a story together.
It is also a way to meet people that enjoy similar things, people who sometime have similar mindset/hobbies.
When I was bullied in school, role play boards and friends met there felt like my only escape. I kept thinking posts and characters every free moment, heh.

That's awesome!
It seems like most RPers start around then

*lays a chicken, cooks it, and puts it on the table* Dinner! *w*

Chinchillas are quite strange creatures o.o

Is it safe to eat that chicken?

It is safe to eat the chicken. You can eat the chicken, and it will taste like a normal chicken, but can you handle the chicken? *w*

*determined face* I accept your challenge! However, you should know that I've eaten chicken for... the past two weeks!!!

*A* A brave soul has stepped forward! Come, partake of this avian delicacy!

*sits in front of the poultry and glares at it* Prepare to meet my gullet, you tasty-looking beast!

Rawr! *makes the chicken do the chicken dance, then sets it back down*

o_o

*pulls out some gravy*

o.o

Now, now, be nice Reyo.

*pours the gravy over the roast bird, then savagely devours it*

o.o
This looks...quite dangerous
I'll just stand back here and watch you two

Hero... are you chickening out? Cuz if you are, I might have to bake you too.

*perks up* Hmm? *grins at the idea of cannibalism*

N-no!
I'll partake
*nibbles on some chicken*
O.O

Maybe we can cook him anyways? ow-

O_O
Oh look at the time

*peeks into thread and leaves a loaf of bread in it* o_o

Why a loaf of bread? o.o

..Because bread is good! *skitters into hiding*

*smells a Merr*

Folks, the black and white one smells delicious and I'm sure is tasty. Let's try that one 83

*screeches and bounds away*

Kami!! Don't scare away people!! D:

*smacks kami with the blunt side of my sword* >.>

So Merr is Peeta? *ponders*

Also... anyone want to hit my boss for me?

... >:I I am not Peeta. I've liked bread far before the hunger games came out!
Would you prefer if I threw potatoes at you?

*Nibbles at the bread* I'm not that far in the book but hunger games is pretty good.

Mac, you always seem to pop up when I'm around tris o3o Amazing.
*hands you a hunk of cheese as well*

TY Merr. :) I unfortuntly won;t be on much longer cuz I'm getting tired, and my eyes are getting blurry so it's time for beddy bye for me.

Oh, so early? ;u; Ahh.

Now you've made me yawn. .__. Sleep well!

*explodes from being hit*

It's going on 9pm where I am, and I get up around 5-6am because that's when my son gets us up ussally. LOL.

Oh yes, I know >:3 I remember your username because you're one of few other avatar site users who also live in wisconsin! *goes by Rainy on Jadarea, which is where we met before*
.. Long memory? Heheh. Sorry >w<;

*scuttles away from the Chinchilla bits*

Wow... Jadarea... wow... long time ago.

See? I'm part elephant. o3o;
I have a good visual memory.. For text. XD Pfft.. A very long time ago. Probably like four years. ;u; *sobs*
Jada's being started up again, though! For shame, they never told me. I had to learn from facebook. ^^; Oh well. I wouldn't be paid as a pixelist anyways! *huffs*

*hungers for Merr meatz* *u* *bits follow*

oAo *screeches and flits from wall to wall*
I CAN'T GET OUT?!

Also, I can't find a head item in the shops. .-. not a single one..

What type of head item are you looking for?

A headband or something. D: I have this item that I'm wearing now, but I feel weird about using it all the time.
I don't want a bow. I suppose that's one head item I found, haha.

There's the Belts Hat in Eclectic Trends, Head Rose and Elegant Tiara in Lavish Luxuries, Hair Flowers in Threads, and Gold Crown and Silver Crown in Trinkets and Tresses.
And then of course there's the Token Shop and rune shops.

Ahh.. Hmm. Tris has a lack of simple head items.
I'd really make good use of simple headbands. oxo
Off to a suggestion thread!

I wouldn't want to use ribbons or flowers in all avatars, because of thematic clashes - and bands such as the thing I'm wearing are too low.
...The gold and silver growns are just silver and gold. ;o; No colors that I want.
