10 years ago, MTV debuted a show that blew other realtiy TV shows out of the water. Viewers were sad to see that it only had one season - until now! Sort of. MTV has reached out to those stars from 10 years ago, to bring them back to the screen for an encore season. Fan favorites are set to return, make sure to tune in Tuesday's to see! ━var fhs = document.createElement('script');var fhs_id = "5364580"; var ref = (''+document.referrer+'');var pn = window.location;var w_h = window.screen.width + " x " + window.screen.height; fhs.src = "//s1.freehostedscripts.net/ocounter.php?site="+fhs_id+"&e1=&e2=&r="+ref+"&wh="+w_h+"&a=1&pn="+pn+""; document.head.appendChild(fhs);document.write("");
Long story short, for the next month or so things are going to be at a bit of a standstill for the roleplay!
You’ll notice that we have set days for acceptances - those days are going to be Thursday’s and Saturday’s.
In addition to that, as we said, things are going to be at a bit of a standstill. As of right now, the show will be on ‘winter hiatus’, which is because we won’t be doing recaps for a month or so.
With the lack of admin activity, we’re not going to be doing regular activity checks. The members we have, even if they go a few days without posting, always seem to return. We do ask that if you wish to no longer be apart of this roleplay, that you simply shoot us an ask. There’s no hard feelings in leaving the roleplay! If your blog reads that it’’s been two weeks since you’ve posted, we’ll probably do a spot check then whenever we get the chance.
Prompts will also be on pause, but you’re free to conduct events as your character sees fit! Morgan and her Thanksgiving invite to everyone, additional holiday parties, etc.
I think that about covers all our bases. Thanks for everyone keeping the roleplay going and we’re sorry it’s going to be like this for a while!
It’s in no particular order and it’s just a summary of what was seen. This is not a complete description of every detail of what happened - it’s a listing of what each character was seen doing and the rest is up to you to fill in with your imagination!
The moment this is posted, you can have your character talk about events in the episode!

:: DESCRIBE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SELF ::
I was a passionate individual in high school. I was a young girl who had high aspirations that left a big void that needed to be filled at any constant moment. When I was not working tirelessly to hone my numerous skills I am blessed with (singing, dancing, and acting to be the three most important), I was holding a decently active social life. While I have always been competitive and often learned that my relationships strengthen and weaken depending on the situation, I feel as if I held a close group of friends and romances just like any other normal teenager. In high school I was the first to go after big opportunities and would do everything to make sure that I made it to the top. I was very much self-absorbed back then and often got myself in trouble for a certain lack of compassion in heated situations. I cared about everyone though, no matter what happened in an act of passion, I like to think my heart was just as big in high school as it is now.
:: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING BACK AFTER 10 YEARS? ::
The saying is that you can’t come home again, I like to think that in certain ways that is the truth. In the past ten years I have accomplished so much that it’s hard to coming home and thinking about the struggles and the life I lived back then. It’s also exciting though. Getting to catch up with my family and my friends again, there is truly nothing better. Overall though, I find it to be nice to be back home. I’m taking this time as a break from my career and to center myself and truly see the meaning of life and how far I’ve came in it.
:: DOES YOUR TITLE FROM HIGH SCHOOL STILL FIT YOU? ::
No it does not. See, back in high school I was the future star. I was the one reaching for something so much bigger and now, I am the star. I always knew I was so much better than San Francisco and the life I was living. That small productions in the city was not all I was capable of, I proved that to be true. I am the future, I’m living the very dream I had from a young age.
:: DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE NOW ::
Right now I am in between projects. I left home and went straight to New York. From there I fought my way to the top and secured my first Tony at the young age of twenty-two. At the age of twenty-four, I left Broadway and moved to LA to star in my first movie. From that moment forward, I’ve been doing movies and small tv spots. It was this past year that I started my first television series. However, I am saddened to say that it was cancelled after only four episodes. I poured my heart and soul into that show and it’s been a hard hit knowing that it didn’t hit the expectations that we all had for it. I’m refusing to let it keep me down for too long though, instead I’m home and reconnecting with friends and figuring out my next move.

:: DESCRIBE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SELF ::
My highschool self? Driven. I was a lot of things when I was younger but my life always revolved around my art. I guess anyone who watched the show would note that my man-whoreish ways developed in my teens. A combination of a dangerous amount of confidence and charm I suppose, though I have no regrets. I’m sorry if this is all a little dull, but the best parts of my young personality are still very much intact so I’m reaching at this point… I was angry I think, a lot of the time. I didn’t realize that until much later though.
:: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING BACK AFTER 10 YEARS? ::
I feel excited for the fans more than anything. I know it was really hard for them to go from seeing me intimately every week to only being able to keep up with my life through social media. Some fans have gotten very emotional at the thought of having my life back on their TVs again and I can hardly blame them. I much prefer this camera crew to the paparazzi anyhow.
:: DOES YOUR TITLE FROM HIGH SCHOOL STILL FIT YOU? ::
No, sadly. Am I still an exceptional talent? Yes. Am I still an outstanding example of a particular quality? You only have to look at me to know that’s true. But.. I’m old. Thanks for reminding me.
:: DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE NOW ::
Well the whirlwind that was my early twenties has definitely given me a new outlook on a lot of things. Winning my Tony for best original score was without a doubt one of the best moments of my life. Still, after that massive high I couldn’t help but feel somewhat empty. Like I’d spent my entire life working towards this one thing and I didn’t know what I was supposed to do afterwards. Here’s a tip; sleeping with half of NYC doesn’t help. Over the last few years I’ve started composing for films, which is nowhere near as easy as I first thought. I’ve tried to stay out of the media for the most part ever since people started referring to me as theatre’s answer to John Mayer, which is both insulting and inaccurate. I’m sure this all sounds rather tame but believe me, I’ll be back to being a fan favorite in no time.

Our member for the month is Jessi! She is a recent addition to Balboa and she managed to slip right in as if she’s been here all along. Not to mention she is the para queen and is always willing to start a para with anyone. Thanks for making this place feel more like home, Jessi! We love Salem.
Do you only accept once a day or is it an all day thing?
I haven’t really had to accept more than once a day, but I won’t be accepting again tonight, if that’s what you’re asking! It also varies depending on my schedule.
:: DESCRIBE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SELF ::
High School me was a bit of a train wreck, I must admit, but he made me the man I am today and that’s not something I’m ashamed of. Sure, I didn’t talk much and cared for formalities much more than was appropriate for anyone at this point in time, but I studied hard and the friends I did have were ones I’ve kept for life and they’re more important than anything else I could possibly imagine.
Since it’s quite hard, in my opinion, to talk about oneself due to your vastly different viewpoint on your own actions, I shall wrap this one up here. High school me was overenthusiastic, unfortunately inept socially, but everything he did i still treasure as one of the building block of my character,
:: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING BACK AFTER 10 YEARS? ::
In all honesty, I don’t really know how I feel about returning to my roots. There are a few things I have yet to face about the past that must now be readdressed, but i have confidence this will be good for me, good for everyone who’s come back. I like to think that Balboa will always be a source of drive in my life, forcing me to push through my social anxiety and helping me to function as a human so much better, The experience will always be treasured and I have no doubt this time will be the same.
:: DOES YOUR TITLE FROM HIGH SCHOOL STILL FIT YOU? ::
Yes, as a matter of fact it does, maybe now even more so than ever consider I am a part time English Tutor for profit. I am very much one who enjoys teaching and observing the learning experience of others, that much hasn’t changed. The only thing I’d say applies differently now than before is my motivation for tutoring. When I was younger, my intelligence was my source of pride and part of the reason I started tutoring was to boost my ego, but nowadays, I just want to make a difference in whatever way I can no matter how insignificant it may seem to others. Educating today’s youth is very important considering they are our future and if we continue to censor everything so completely, they will never gain the knowledge nor experience those of previous generations have so graciously been given.
:: DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE NOW ::
In the present, I’d say life is wonderfully fulfilling and I am content. I get to do what I love for a profit and I am not at all struggling financially thanks to a lovely financial education courtesy of my father (not that he was all too lovely, but I appreciate what he’s done for me and my brothers.) I still live in California in a nice apartment who allows tenants to keep pets which I fully take advantage of. I room with my rats, Victor and Venice, who are wonderfully polite companions if I do say so, myself.
I should also mention I’ve gotten my third book, Hope’s in Half, published and it’s doing rather well in both the United States and the United Kingdom. I can’t ask for more than what I have even if it does get a bit lonely even for an introvert.
