On a side note, I really need to get better at replicating my IRL speech patterns over text. I come across too formal.

I just need to swear more, and throw out an occasional word in spanish. :lol

I remember the good days of I.M roleplaying; I used to do it a lot, and occasionally I still do with people I've known for awhile; You get really connected with someone that way, I find. I had one RP me and a guy were doing over I.M over the span of three years, and it never got stale. Between the hilarious banter and terrific character progression, it was a pace I enjoyed. Not to mention we could just stop whenever and start chatting about shit instantly; Reactions and such. It's always good to see a classic "LMFAO" right after I make a joke.

If you've got the time, feel free. I've got a few group RP projects myself that I don't plan to use in the near future; We can throw a few around at each-other. Most of mine are just concepts, however, and aren't fleshed out. Giving my fondness for 1x1's, I hardly find a Group appealing anymore. But I'm going to eventually return to it, because I miss being a GM.

Not to mention if you plan to be a GM, you ought to be ready to focus mainly on that. It can be irritating work, so don't take up other things and try to GM too if you don't feel like you can handle it! The worst possible thing that can happen is when a GM is forced to close an RP, or, just does because they want to. I've had to do it before; I've known good people who had to do it. It's a terrible thing, and kills a lot of motivation for people's future projects. 

If I do end up in an RP with you, I'd be happy to help out as a Co-GM. It's where I end up being for the most part whenever I join Group RP's these days. Mostly because I'm lurking pretty often and therefor can keep my eyes on a lot of things when other people don't have the time. Just something to keep in mind.
