Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

In all the

In all the picture things that are going around, and the color thing, it seems like people pick everyone but me to make/describe... And I've been around a while, and I've never once left. So I want to know your honest opinion: who do you think is a part of the CB community? Don't just put a list of everyone on CB, put a list of people you are friends with and are involved with. Please don't ask me who I am.

 

No one here is nobody! There are so many people that it's hard to keep track of all of them. Others who were not mentioned at first have spoken up to say, "Do me." So go ahead and speak up. Ask for what you want.

I'm really sorry if you feel left out. I wasn't in either of the threads where you describe a person, but you just have to accept that there are a lot of people here, and everyone gets left out sometimes. Take it from the nerd girl who spends half her time in the corner with a book. 

Every CBer is important, and that is the most corny advice ever, but I think it's true. Without you, we wouldn't be reminded that everyone needs to be appreciated, regardless if they are new, old, don't post much, post every day, or anything that makes you different. 

I also just wanted to say that I will not post the CBers that I think are popular. Even if you aren't offended by it, someone will feel left out, and that will just cause another one of these threads.

Also, I think you should seriously consider posting who you are, so we can help/appreciate you.

I'm really sorry if you were offfended by anything in this post. HRH Queen L says xikm.

Bibliophile, you're in the "CB'ers as colors" thread.

I'm in it now, but I wasn't when I wrote that. Thanks HSG!

Look, everybody interacts with different people on CB. The people that you are closest to and think are really part of CB will be totally different than mine. And Admin is right. With the pictures, only a handful were done without being asked, and for me, those were the people who I had a clear picture in my mind of, who had very definative names/personalities. I'm not going to do the list. It's just going to make people feel bad if they're not on them, which is more trouble than it's worth.

I really doubt you're fat, and if I haven't drawn you then I haven't had time, energy, an idea, or space in my notebook. Sorry!

Oh no! We could begin including you in all sorts of things if you tell us who you are . . . so sorry you've been left out!

What Abigail said I agree with entirely. I haven't done a lot of people who have asked for pictures because I can't picture them. For example, I just can't get a clear picture of Scylla in my head. Does this mean she's not my friend, I don't like her, or I think she's less than CBers I have done? No! Of course not. I just can't imagine her in my head, that's all.

What Admin says is also true. Speak up! There really are a lot of people on the CB, and they're all fantastic. It's hard to list every single CBer on the CB, and I bet anyone would agree with me, unless you have some sort of memory where you never forget anything or something. But really, you're not a nobody, and no one on the CB is nobody.

Also, just like everyone else, I'm not doing the list. Like Bibliophile said, then people will be left out and get offended. I'm friends with everyone on the CB. I'm not going to construct a whole speech, but what I'm mainly saying is this: We didn't mean to ignore you, and you're special like everyone on the CB is special, corny as it may sound.

Aww, don't say that! Everyone is an important part of the community! Maybe you are more known in DTE, Inkwell, pudding's place, or BAB than CAC, and that's the only reason!

Oh, golly, now I feel guilty. But that feeling you're having is alright! Everyone has it at some point, and it's good that you spoke up about it instead of keeping it in. I'm not sure if I can help you, as I don't exactly know who you are, but if you want people to picture you, then speak up! If you do something to make you unique, then people will picture you more. I have had this feeling as well; I will sometimes get jealous of other people because they get more pictured then I do... But that's stupid.

And to your question about who is part of the CB community: Everyone who goes on CB! But I see what you mean by. It's alright to think this! Everyone thinks this at some point in time. I know you asked us to not ask you what your CB name is, but if you tell us perhaps we can help you! Just don't depress yourself; It'll make yourself worse.

I believe everyone is a part of the CB in their own, special way. However, I understand this feeling and have had it myself many times. I am very, very sorry if anything I ever did or did not do offended you in any way. But, friend, let me tell you that everyone on the CB has people who care for them and love to see them. I, too, have often felt that I am not as involved as I would like to be, but I've always felt that it was sort of my own fault.

Also, just an apology. I am sorry for making a thread that makes anyone feel left out. This has happened more than once now. I think of a good idea, and then it ends up hurting people. Maybe I should just stop posting threads!

Sorry. This isn't helping. I'm sorry.

Booksy, you don't need to stop posting threads. That was a really good idea about the colors, and if some people feel left out, it's not usually the fault of one post.

Hey Nobody, don't feel left out! The truth is, there are a lot of people on the CB. And I really try to welcome everyone, see what everyone's writing style is like, and see what their interests are. True, the people who have been around a little longer stick in my head more, but that's just because I'm still learning the names of all the new Cbers. From your post, you don't sound like a new Cber, so I'm guessing your upset because no one thought to draw you even though you are around a lot. I drew some CBers (the links didn't work), and I really just drew the first people who came into my head! I would draw everyone that I could, though. I only drew some of the people involved in Decepmyth because (after writing about them), I got a clear image of them in my head. Everyone is a somebody (no, Cber Somebody, you don't have a gazillion clones)!

Yes, Nobody, there are a lot of us, and some are better known than others. I'm not particularly well-known, either- there are actually a lot of us who aren't very well known.

Here's my advice- get on a lot of threads, and maybe start a few of your own! You'll find lots of people with similar interests to yours, and make a name for yourself here.

Go and get 'em! Best of Luck! :)
