Joegreenbeen — Roleplayer Guild

haha look at me i'm defying your thread by posting when i'm not new! #occupyspam What drew me to roleplaying?I found out what roleplaying was back when I played runescape (shutup don't judge). I wanted more than what the runescape community could provide, so I looked up "roleplaying forum" and the guild was the first link. I joined, lurked a bit, and joined my first roleplay. It was very attack-on-titan-esque, the last city on the edge of nowhere. We were all defenders of the last bastion of civilization. I was some weaboo angel thing if I remember correctly. After that roleplay fizzled out I joined another one where everyone was magical sentient animals. I was a fox. I liked roleplaying because at the time, I was in a dark point in my life and writing helped. My self-image was built on perceiving myself as intelligent, and what is more intelligent than a good writer?This was all about 6 years ago. I later found IRC and stuck around there, making friends as I went. By the time I had become an IRC regular, I had stopped posting on the guild, only visiting the site to access the mibbit client. After a brief stint on GAIA Online (Again, don't judge. We've all done things we regret) and tried roleplaying there for a while. Eventually around 09 I came back due to a friend in IRC asking me to join a roleplay, some scifi colonization thing. While waiting inbetween posts, I found the Off-Topic forum (This was before spam even existed, mind you), and fell in with that crowd. Ultimate523, Zoel, Azarthes, Dlayeth and others. I quickly became a regular to those dens of silliness and quirky humor. I stuck around after the separation of spam and forum games from off-topic, and have been a regular in spam ever since. What appeals to me about spam is the fact that I feel connected to a lot of the people here - though now I feel less connected, especially now that a lot of communication with those people has moved to off-site mediums.What do I do other than roleplay/spam? Well, apparently the only other facet of my personality is my sexuality according to some sources, so there's that.My interest is in computers. I'm heading off in august to study computer science at NYU. Should be interesting! I also like linguistic and languages, I'm trying to fit in some classes where I can test those waters as well. Two years ago I was an exchange student to Belgium, and lived with Beglian families and got the experience of a lifetime. I know speak fluent French. My current goal is to make myself start studying Italian in my free time - it's pretty fun from what little I've taught myself.Well, hopefully this helped some of you get to know me better. I'm just a nub after all

No, don't still the spotlight, you monster!
