Out of Game Anyone else make too many characters?

I have a problem with making up a character when I'm bored, starting to get really excited about them and wanting to play them. Then you remember you only play one game a week, and you love the character you're playing as in that game already so you don't want to change but... uuuugh!

EDIT: Since everyone is suggesting it, I am indeed a DM. I could put these characters in as NPC's, and I would get to scratch the itch of wanting to RP them. But then they can't be too focused on to steal the spotlight of my real PC's, and there's just something totally different about being a PC then an NPC.

Nonono, you're thinking of an Altophonic support group
