First of all, I LOVE reading the hilarious first-days-of-SS posts. Is there anything better?
Secondly, I used to take the RP and all my characters much more seriously. I'm just here for fun and not for responsibilities now, so that's liberating. Also, when I was newer, I feel like I played such idealized versions of me. Everything was so dramatic and everyone else's characters had to be reacted to. Though, tbh, I'm still a little bit dramatic... at least I stopped bolding my character's dialogue! Ahaha.
One thing I can't seem to stop doing is putting Easter eggs in my character names though. I have at least two RABs, ART, DOT, BOG, WWW, DMF, ummm and i think one of my first charries even used my grandmother's maiden name. I like when their names reference something that I like in real life, like a favorite person or a play I've read many, many times or even just the X-Men because yolo?
