Why do you RP?

*sigh* May as well...I really don't know why I RP, I guess when it was still fresh, it gave me more to do online besides games, I still don't know why I still stick around to RPing sites like this one...I guess I've just gotten attached to RPing on sites like this.
I emjoy roelplaying because it's similar to writing a story, and writing happens to be a hobby of mine. Even if nobody is interested in reading what I wrote, I just write it for my own enjoyment. One thing I don't like about this board is that most of the RPing is just battleing. I'd realy like to see a lot more regular charecter interaction, especiacly in the Real World section.
