Message: <blockquote data-quote="eris404" data-source="post: 2460617" data-attributes="member: 5338">I am a 34-year-old girl (female? woman? none of those words sound good). I was a shy child who lacked confidence; I liked to read fantasy books and comics and play make-believe, so when I found out about D&D it was a natural fit. I was also a gymnast, though not a good one, and much of my early years were spent taking ballet and tap lessons at my mother's request. I loved dance recitals actually, because I like being the center of attention and was a big ham. I was a very sensitive child though, and I cried easily and was often the target of other kids' jokes.In high school, I had a group of friends with whom I was very close. I was geeky and though I loved punk and alternative (though it was called "new wave" then  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> ) music, I was certainly not cool enough to be punk rock. I did become sort of a goth in college though. I am not friends with any of these people now; no story or big break-up, just a gradual growing apart.My mother died when I was 17 and I haven't felt very comfortable around my large family since then - I don't have much in common with my brothers and sisters and I think they still see me as the shy, quiet, weird child I was as a kid and a teenager.I've lived in Chicago since 1993, when I came here to attend college and majored in Film, and  I am now a web master for a department in a university here. I have three web sites under my complete control.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> My fondest wish is to become a writer.I've been in a relationship for the last 6 years with a beautiful guy who works for a video game company, but I still have crushes on two ENWorlders (I have met neither of them, but their posts make me smile). I met most of my current gaming group in 1997 (after I graduated from college) and we've been playing weekly ever since.</blockquote>
