kthxrofl in a nutshell (or a nutcase)

Hey there!
Name's Jake; I started RPing heavily in the seventh grade, so I've got what... little over seven years now. I like to think I do a decent job, but there are people I envy, no doubt.
I started DMing not a year after I got into RPing over the computer; I have SEVERAL siblings who all have SEVERAL friends, and we're all nerds! So I started by just showing my bros the rules of the game with a set of books I'd asked for for Christmas (I ended up only getting the Player's Handbook). Didn't stop me! Nobody else in our happy little group likes to DM, so I generally have to go online to look for campaigns in which I want to be a player.

A few of my idiosyncrasies... things that'll help you understand the way I think, if you're interested.
I am clinically diagnosed with autophobia. If you look on google, wikipedia, or anywhere else, it'll tell you that this is the fear of being alone, but that doesn't quite cut it. The fear is more accurately described as 'the fear that everyone I care about will leave.' That one day, friends, family, and acquaintances will simply realize they're better off without me and shun me.
As a result, I tend to try to be overly helpful most of the time, and rather than get angry at people I'm more apt to become afraid that they'll leave. Pathetic? Probably, but hey, that's me.

I'm a firm believer in a positive thought process. No matter what position you're in in life, find a reason to BELIEVE things will turn out alright, and even if they don't you'll realize that, with something to cling to for support, your position is never as bad as you thought. I know I have mine. If you ever need someone to vent at (venting: saying incredibly mean things about someone that you don't mean, but you want to say because you're mad at them; obviously, you don't want to say them directly to the person), if you're in a bad mood, or if you need help that I can be of assistance in in some capacity, don't be afraid to ask! I like to pretend that I'm helpful. ^^

At risk of giving people TMI, I'll cut this here. I'm always open for talking, and I'm exceedingly difficult to annoy and/or offend, so don't be afraid to give me a holler!

Your friendly neighborhood dunce,

Jake
