Hahaha, yes, I started RPing my freshman year in college (incidentally the first year I had internet access too) so SO OLD HERE TOO. And conflicts are SO MUCH FUN. That's the heart of RP to me, working out interpersonal conflicts and really looking into and examining your character. Not everyone getting along.
Ha! And as we know Lydia isn't nearly as vapid and self-absorbed as she comes across but yep, she's exactly that sort of person Joey!
