On vacation and this bed is terrible, so I can't sleep... WHICH MEANS LATE NIGHT CONFESSIONS!
1.) You know the deal by now. Social anxiety, all that. My method of dealing with it is to point Gara at people like a missile and roll with whatever happens, whether they're angry she barged in, taken aback, flattered, whatever. It's interaction. I generally try to avoid private moments... geberally. I'm not above going OI WHAT'RE Y' TALKIN' ABOUT if cryptic things are being said in public.
2.) Also same as many others, ERP bores me to tears. I used to go along with, feeling that I had no choice, so one time I made a sandwich while ERPing. I did this because I'd get so bored I'd 'finish' to quickly and the other party would get mad, so I figured sandwhich prep was one way to drag things out. Spread the mayonnaise (heh), post a line, add ham, post a line, etc. by the end of it I was posting one handed, but only because I was eating the sandwhich with the other hand. These days if it comes to that I just fade to black.
3.) I have a host of health problems I won't bother detailing. They eat into both my regular game time and my RP time. I feel bad I have to cut things short sometimes, but I physically cannot handle marathon RP seasons. I prefer to find an IC reason to leave than to pause a scene, as I hate leaving things in limbo when other things could be going on for all parties involved.
4.) I hate chat based RP. Long story. I much prefer running around in game snapping screenshots of interactions on the fly than having to describe absolutely everything in a chat box. Personal preference. Nobody gets my Skype but very close friends and the dorks I D&D with over voice chat... And hell, I hate Skype as a chatting platform as it is.
5.) I don't really have a problem with any given character concept, personally. I mean I'm 31, the only thing that's gonna make me lose sleep is the fact the mattress I'm currently laying on is as hard as a fucking rock. My character may go "okaaaaaay" when they run into it in game, but that's the extent of it. Everybody starts somewhere, right? That person is probably gonna look back and shake their heads over it, too, just like I do over my early RP. With that in mind, I'll roll with anything for the duration of a scene.
