Sometimes, it takes some trial and error to find where you belong, no matter where you are.  And when friendships are involved it can and usually does get more complicated.  When I first came to SL, I was actively Roleplaying or RPing.  First one place, than another, until getting into running my first RP sim.  Technically, I wasn't supposed to run it OOCly.  Building is my strong suit, working with people, not so much.  I've never been good at shmoozing.  So it didn't last more than a month after opening, because the person who was going to handle all that stuff wasn't up to dealing with it.

After that, I looked a bit more, couldn't find a place that would allow my particular history and just threw myself into my shop, teaching and DJing, this year.  My business partner and one of my two best friends decided that instead of trying to continue with the radio station in The Secret World, that we'd try running a club in SL.  Meanwhile, there was a spate of posts where folks were losing their RP homes because of finances.  The two ideas; club and place for folks to continue to RP, combined into Tempus Fugit.  More importantly, it was designed so that you don't have to be an RPer.  So what if your some normal person ooc, while the neko next to you is from the far future, and the troll siting at the bar is from the past and sideways?  When the place is outside of time and space, anything really should be possible.

So what does this have to do with today's post?  A friend recently has been trying to get me to RP where she is an admin.  Okay, fine, I'll give it try.  But its hard for me to get integrated and I don't think I'll fit there.  I'll probably keep trying in my copious spare time (Ha!), but I'm not sure how well it will work.

Meanwhile, I've got the club to run.  This time the person who was suppose to handle all the schmoozing is really gone.  I've got to do it myself with remaining family.  And seriously?  If I need some place to roleplay?  I already have it; with elements of fantasy, sci fi, and things completely outside of time itself.
