So, uh... Hi. I'm Alicia Jewel, but you can probably see that to the left. *points* See? Over there. Like the little thingie above me says, I stumbled across this website when I was randomly searching for an MLP RP to join. I'm from Arkansas, but I think I was born in the wrong place--I'm more on the liberal side, accepting of everyone regardless of their lifestyle (so long as they're a good person and don't hurt others), and hardly have a southern accent. I'm a lot quieter in real life due to a combination of social anxiety and a mild stuttering problem, but when I'm online, I can carefully think about what I'm going to type and revise/cut anything that sounds stupid. (I'd still like to hide under a table right about now, though. >///<) I've been writing since I was in the 3rd grade. I was sleeping over with one of my friends, and she suggested that we write a story based on the fairies from Kirby 64. (So, basically, my first story was a fanfic. xD I think I still have it somewhere...) I've loved writing ever since, and I'm even hoping to make a career out of it one day. In a perfect world, I'll be a book editor where I can put my mad grammar skills to good use and help my fellow authors improve their writing while working on my own. In a more realistic world, I'll probably have some random desk job while I struggle to get my stuff published. Right now, though, I'm just a college student on summer vacation. On the other hand, I'm not exactly sure when I started roleplaying. I guess I technically started in elementary school when I went on a grand adventure to protect a dragon egg with my friends and my animal companions, but I'm not sure when or where I started roleplaying online. I roleplay on online games, chatrooms, message boards... pretty much anywhere I can reasonably roleplay. I haven't done a whole lot of MLP RP--I had a brief stint on another website before I quit because of admin favoritism EVERYWHERE--but I really want to try to get into it again. It'll be nice to do something more lighthearted for once. I like anime, but I haven't really had the time/patience to get into a new series lately. I've got a modest collection of manga on my bookshelf, but what I'm really interesting in reading now is Agatha Christie. I got a bunch of her books for my birthday. I should really get my lazy butt off the computer and crack those open... I picked my favorite ponies above because I like to think I'm a cross between Twilight and Fluttershy with a pinch of Pinkie Pie if I've had too much caffeine. Protip: Do NOT give me Mountain Dew. Things will explode. ... Whoa. I typed a LOT more than I thought I would. So much for that hiding under the table thing, huh...? Well, either way, I look forward to getting to know you all, and I hope I fit in your community. ^_^ Protip 2: Don't hit Preview Post without copying your info fields. They will get erased, and you will be sad.
