Wow, milestones & Non Celebrity RPG

On a whim, I checked my profile page only to find that I've posted 993 entries. 994, when this is included. I feel like making entry 1,000 special in some way but the only way that I can think of is to see if it's possible to hit the comment limit (5,000 comments, as far as I know) via either all of us having a spammy drabble/link/image-post contest.

And now that I have that fascinating tidbid over with, take a look at noncelebrityrpg.



RPS. RPF. If you don't know what those acronyms mean, welcome to the Internet, kiddo.

People pretend to be celebrities all the time. They roleplay as them, maintain journals as them, but let's face, how well does anyone really know those celebs? If you're playing Gackt somewhere, it's not like he'll actually IM you about your choice of romantic partner for him or correct you on what cereal brand you had him eat this morning.

That's why noncelebrityrpg exists. Pick a person off your friendslist. Pick someone in real life. Pick someone whom you would like to be -- not the person with the idyllic life you envy, but a person you'd like to play. Pick someone that'll play along with you and watch you play them.

Make your choice, and immerse yourself in a world that is exactly like ours but where you are someone you know very well who isn't you. Test out how well you know them, and how well you can predict their reactions. Make friends. Make enemies. Cause Internet drama. Delete comments, screen posts, whatever.

noncelebrityrpg is the real online world, except it's not.

C'mon. It's time for you to wear someone else's skin.

The game will only open when it has a minimum of five people, and there are no restrictions on how many personas you can join as.

Important Life Lesson!

Do not clean pierced ears with mint dental floss.

I realize that might sound obvious to some of you, but if you're a college student who recently got her ears pierced, thinks one of them is too swollen to use cotton swabs on and really wants to make sure it's clean, you might have the brainwave of using dental floss to try to clean behind the earring.

Take it from me, it's a bad idea. Your ear won't drop off, but it will sting like crazy. Though maybe cotton thread would work if you soak it in disinfectant first.

Aren't you glad I'm here to find out stuff the hard way so that you won't have to?
