I don't know what's more exciting, actually rping, or plotting out roleplays
Either can be pretty fun, a good escape
Better then listening to my aunt yell at me to clean my room while I'm sick
Or slam my door shut and if she could of, I think she would of locked it
And then my grandma starts ranting on how I'm going to fail and not go to college
All I want is to curl up and be someone else
I guess pretending is as close to it as I can get
I guess that's always been the appeal of roleplaying
The idea of being someone else
I mean, I've been doing it for about 5 years now
So it must have some appeal, right?
I never liked being me much
I never liked my own life much
But these characters, they seemed so captivating
I always wanted to be like them, have their strength, their freedom
Let's look at some of the characters I've rped on a regular basis as, shall we?
Usagi- Ah, the very beginning, my Sailor Moon days. I guess I liked how carefree she was, innocent even. It was something I never possessed, even if I had wanted to. I was too rough, too violent, but I could pretend.
Bura- She was more mischevious, and even though I don't really like DBZ/GT anymore, I keep up rping with her with a few people, because, she has a rather special place in my heart. I orginally chose her because of her relationship with her father, Bejiita. My own father died when I was very young, so it provided me with an outlet to pretend and fantasize about scenarios that would never happen for me.
Gojyo- Ah, the first male I ever rped as. He has a part of my brain now ya know. He has no plans of giving it back either. I'm not sure what drew him to me. I think it was the fact that despite everything he had went through, he never seemed to give up. He didn't like himself much, but he never let anyone else know it. He seized the moment, realizing how fleeting happiness could be.
Sango- the newest character in my consist rp list. I immeadetly began to like when I first started reading the Inu-Yasha mangas back in freshman year. She's probably my favorite, well, right there with Kikyo. Not a big Kagome fan. But anyways, back to Sango and why I choose her. She had so much tragedy in her life, so much loss, it seems amazing how strong she is, to keep going, to keep striving for her goals. Sometimes, I wish I had that strength.
But I think what I like most about roleplaying is the amount of control it gives you
If a character has had a crappy life, you can implant some ways of making it slightly better (To Suu: Like giving Gojyo Orei!)
You decide what's going to happen next, no one can tell you no (Expect the others involved)
I don't have much control in my life
I grew up being told I was too young to do things
Too stupid, too unstable
All I ever wanted was to belong really
To live my life, make my choices
Find something to keep me going
Yet, I have not had the chance.
So I keep writing out these fantasies, clinging to the little comfort they provide me
I know others of you roleplay, and maybe you do it for different reasons
I really don't know
These are just mine
Song of the Entry:
Be Like That by Third Eye Blind
He spends his nights in California,
Watching the stars on the big screen
Then he lies awake and he wonders,
Why can’t that be me
Cause in his life he is filled
With all these good intentions
He’s left a lot of things
He’d rather not mention right now
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me,
And he says,
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
Now and dreams we run
She spends her days up in the north park,
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just
A little piece of this dream,
Is that too much to ask
With a safe home, and a warm bed,
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to
Hold onto, that’s all she needs
Yeah!
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
I’m falling into this,
In dreams, we run away
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
Falling in
I feel I am falling in, to this again.
