Something I've learned about myself...

You know you've been spoiled by journal RP and fanfic writing when you read the bios on a dating site and go 'Oh, ick! Not him! He uses all caps/can't spell/doesn't break his text into readable paragraphs!'.

I'd react that way too if I was looking on a dating site and found someone like that.

And I don't RP nearly as much as you do; and I read/write almost no fanfic anymore.

There are, sadly, many, many bios like that on the dating sites. It's worse when it's someplace like eharmony, where some sections of the bio are miltiple choice instead of fill-in. You get nice little readble texty things and then something like:

'HI, I LIKE HORSES AND MY KIDS AND MY FAMILY ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO ME...'

or,

'i wanted to tryn this becuase my brother said itls a goos placeto find someone
and im really ecited to be here...'

Really, it makes a girl want to run. *g*
