Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

I just realised

I just realised that today's the nintenth. 

Wow. Um, I feel old. I had no idea.... until a few seconds ago.

One year ago today I made my first (Well, hmm. Don't be technical with me, please) post. Here on the CB.

I'm glad I did! The CB and everyone on it really mean a lot to me! So many things have happened in the last year.... 

And now I'm listening to a Zelda sountrack.

I've never played Zelda--my friend sent me the soundtrack for reasons I can't understand.

So what milestones have you guys all figured out in a both horrified and delighted way that you just crossed? What are you listening to now, if you are listening to music?

(And I'm going to try to post more. Because I've been dormant. For awhile now.)

I just realized I must have been on here longer than just a year and a half. I was twelve when I was PiperC, and now I'm almost 15.

Then I've been here for at least three years, because I remember when you joined which means I was already on here. I'm pretty sure that I was 11 when I first started posting here (as Hannah A.).

I just went through a bunch of pages of old posts, and one of the first times that I posted on the CB was March 2011. I also know that I would post in Cricket readers recommend before that (I hadn't discovered the CB yet), and I looked at the CB for a while before I posted. So I've been coming to the Cricket website for almost 3 1/2 years, but on the Chatterbox for about 3.

YAY!

It is January 6. And I've been on CB for one day. Wow.

Right now I'm listening to the Phillipphillips radio @pandora. I have just stood up to a person I love dearly for me & my sister's happiness. I have read a book that I thought would be terrible, it is now one of my favorite books. I taught myself how to play 2 instruments in one and a half years. I feel so accomplished now that I'm writing this! Thanks Theo!

My first post was on a Harry Potter RP to ask if anybody knew what the title of a thread for a Harry Potter RP that I had read several years ago, when I first checked out the CB. TNO replied and gave me the link because she had it bookmarked. I still remember that, but I can't find the thread anymore. But I've been on for three and a half years now, because I can always measure against the Dragon RP. I think Melody was on that, but I believe she's the only person besides me who hasn't left.

I'm listening to Miss Jackson by Panic at the Disco. 

There have been a lot of milestones. Nanowrimo, high school, piano, tennis, and just life in general.

I was on the second Dragon RP, but other than that, I think that's it.

@SC

I vaguely remember being on a Dragon RP.  I don't think I was on the second one.  It's been so long I'm not even sure.

Four and three quarters years.

It's surprising to me that I've been here longer than you, Ima.  I seriously thought you were here longer.  I guess it's because I floated a lot towards the beginning.  Also (I'm quickly gonna change the subject), for our penpal thing, which one of us was sending a letter first?

 

Other milestones:

Jeopardy audition!

95 on a Creative Writing paper

And I have a boyfriend now, so there's that.

 

Now listening to No Rain by Blind Melon on Summer Hits of the 90s Pandora.

I started coming here on May 14, 2012.  This year I started Middle School and completed my first actual NaNoWriMo.  Huzzah!

I've been here for four months now (I started October 2013). Not too long ago I was listening to music from the soundtrack of Disney's Frozen.

I started in September 2012, on what I believe was a book quote thread. I too just completed my first NaNoWriMo!
