masenb, I don't think I tell you enough how much I adore you, and how I would not still be around without you. youareamazing
We met a few years ago (my brain is fuzzy on the exact year, but I think we're going on 4? 5?) through an OOC contact that needed a bratty little sister to fill out their character's family in another comm. You played the brother's best friend, and through not-so-subtle hints IC, our interactions began in earnest. I didn't think that what I would be getting out of it was someone that I can actually say is an honest to god close friend, not just another RP person. I think our friendship was solidified when I took over this role, and I have never looked back with anything less than fondness.
You, my dear, have put up with a lot of my shit. This is very commendable and I don't know why you do it. If the roles were reversed, and I was you dealing with me, I would have dropped my ass a long time ago, and yet you are still here. A glutton for punishment, I see. I could be a better storyline partner. A lot better. I make false promises, though at the time I'm promising, I don't know they are false. I want to be a better player for you, because you deserve nothing but the best. You are just that amazing, and anyone who thinks/says otherwise has clearly never actually written with you. Like I said, I wouldn't be around if it wasn't for you. Anytime I get a ragequit moment, I just think about losing our storyline and it makes me really think about my decisions before I hastily jump into them. Mostly because you go "just take a hiatus" or say something along the lines of "I'm totally fine with whatever you choose to do". I calm the hell down and think about things before I do something I'd regret. And I would regret not having these two crazy kids. They are just so fucking adorable, it makes me sick.
I know that one day, roleplay will no longer be a part of my life. I fear that day is coming sooner than I would like, what with school and the eventual world of adulthood (I still don't qualify myself as an adult, even if it is legally 10 years after the fact) that will finally get it's talons into me. But then again, maybe I will continue to play until I'm 60, hating all the new kids that pop up all obnoxious and dramatic, and about how none of them will play with my grandma character... What I'm trying to say here is that if I do end up leaving for good, I hope we will remain friends. And if I'm that crazy old person getting all up in the newbs business, bitching about the old days of RP (like I do now) and how we used to write substance and created lines organically, I hope you're reading my posts over and leaving the first comment when they're posted because we're the oldest people in the comm and we know better than everyone.
I adore you, you're the best. So much love, cpmasen
