What is this post about?

I am in the mood to write something and so currently am typing this post. I am not totally sure what to right about so this will probably just be filled with a bunch of ramblings from myself.

Christmas time is here and my world is a flurry of white! I officially love snow, there are dozens of people out there that will officially say they hate snow and live in Minnesota; well I will officially claim that I love snow and live in Minnesota. Yes it may be cold, but personally if I lived where there were not such big differences in the seasons I am pretty sure I would get pretty bored with the weather and where I was living. Plus who doesn't dream of a white Christmas, I don't believe I could live anywhere that did not have at least a foot of snow on the ground by the time that joyous holiday rolled around.

This is also the official shopping season and I will admit that my paycheck is already dwindling quicker than usual. Though a lot of it goes towards gas now a days, especially since the cold weather means I need to warm up my car to even get into it, since my doors love to freeze shut on me. Thank god for the auto start button that came with my car when I bought it. (for all you car lovers out there it's a 1998 Chevy Cavalier, in a teal color) But money has been flying to buy gifts and just to get the usual necessities. But with the Christmas season comes awesome little artisan shops at the mall. Our mall really sucks so when something new comes around the world shines brighter. If you haven't realized I am a girl and I do love to shop. :D

As I have stated before Role Playing is a passion of mine, and yes I am officially a complete nerd. But sadly very few of the rp's I am apart of are very active, which is probably why I wanted to write something, ha go figure. Either that or the moderators are letting them die which means I will have to go on the hunt again for new rp's, which completely sucks by the way, there are very few people out there that are decent role players. A lot of the rp's on the site that I am on are people with very poor grammar skills and only post between a sentence and barely 2 paragraphs. I prefer more advanced than that usually at least 2 paragraphs, but more is always better. I've also discovered that very few people are willing to work to join an rp. I have created a few rp's in my life and recently have created one. For those who don't know, you create a profile for your character, essentially explaining your character's background, their personality, any weapons they have, and if it's a fantasy rp what race they are and whether they have any powers. Well I get people that send in profiles, but sadly when they do not write enough and I ask them to maybe work a bit more on something, I get nothing back. I understand that some may be insulted, but the rp is my creation and I want people who are willing to put in some time so the experience can be awesome, which doesn't happen if they aren't willing to work. So essentially the profile stage is a trial to see whether the creator thinks you are worthy enough to be a part of their role play and whether you will help it or drag it down.

I'd say that is my little post for now, I don't know of what else to write about, but I am sure I will have more ramblings for you soon.

My kind of role playing is different. Where as those are more like role playing games, the way I role play is just simply writing. The site that I role play on is gaiaonline.com, it's just a site that has a lot to it and one of those aspects is role playing. Essentially a creator will have a general plot to present to people and then people can join and you are almost writing a story together.
