Greetings and welcome to the RPC Anansi!
Yay more lalafell! Being a hospital companion certainly sounds like it affords you quite a bit of time to think things over, maybe indulge in some forum RP here on the site~. Are there a lot of Operas, Orchestral shows or Concert bands playing where you live? There was a brilliant set played recently in my home town that featured mostly Rachmaninov pieces [my favorite being Piano Concerto No.2].
Anyroad, i've got a few links i'd like to share with you that might help you get a better idea of the community, maybe get your foot in the roleplay door.

This welcome post is just a general overview of the RPC, it mentions some of the links you can find around the site as well as giving you a bit of history about the community itself. If you take a look at the bottom of the post it also mentions a few of the key members of the site, though Kylin has stepped down as admin and that role is now filled by FreelanceWizard.
If you'd like to brush up on some of your RP knowledge, maybe peg down where along the medium/heavy line you'd like to be or just hear about how some other people have approached ideas in Eorzea the RP handbook by Eva:

Is a great resource. Theres an index hidden in the spoilers tag so that you can see how things are broken down, maybe skim over the bits you feel confident with to get to more interesting parts.
But onto the communities! I don't think there are many better ways to get to know just whats out there than taking a look through the linkshell hall then talking to them in-game or on the forums. I do have a pair of OOC groups I would like to recommend though, maybe you'll find some traction with them and from there get to know some people that you'll interact with down the road.

"Intermission" is a great OOC hub of chatter for Roleplayers of all stripes to meet and talk. Finding out where people are, what they're up to, if something public is happening and oh so much more...

"Balmungs Finest" on the other hand relys on building connections through grouping. Tired of waiting in the duty finder as a dps for 30+ minutes? really need to farm Brayflox to get some gear or maybe drag some poor soul through Aurum Vale? Balmungs Finest is dedicated to grouping people of Balmung together before relying on the Dungeon Finder.
Hrm, hopefully I haven't bored you to tears, and you've found something that you can run with. Please remember to ask any questions, voice any concerns, or just lurk around the ongoing discussions, there are plenty of people willing to provide their opinions on all sorts of topic. Lots to do and plenty of people to meet out there in Eorzea, so best of luck and feel free to flag me down!
