So a person begged me to take part in a game.

For instance, I was asked what her tribe was like. To which I replied "How should I know? It's your world.. you tell me." "Ohh.. no no no, it is your character, you have to decide this.

Keep in mind this is a game with a DM, stats, etc. NOT free-form.

I really hate when people ruin the internet like that ._. Internet haters full of their electronic hateraide.

<3's Pauline. I'm sure even though you went into the whole ordeal blind, your character turned out amazing.

just venting in the only safe place I can without fear of it "getting back".

Ha! Now I can copy & paste your journal entry into the forums!
