My Bday. Read Plz....
So. Wednesday, November 2nd, is my birthday. See, for my birthday in 2017, I was planning to tell everyone how old I was. I would come out with a bang, say, "Look! I'm __!" And that would be that.
But then I realized that who knows what might happen in between now and November 2017. Maybe nobody I know from now will still be here.. Maybe I won't be here.
So, after a lot of thinking, I decided to say it now.
On November 2nd, 2016, I'm turning eleven.
That means that I'm ten now.
That means that when I made my first RP, the Æ and CAPTCHA Boarding School RP, I was ten.
That means that when Arwen and Zeon were dating, I was ten.
That means that during the Great Leaving Incident, (at least that's what I call it) I was ten.
That's why I never talked about NaNoWriMo, because I was and still am too young for it.
See, I've learned a lot on the CB. One vastly important thing I learned is that a lot of people seem to think more of 12-year-old's RPs, on average. More people join them. The same goes for CB stories, debate threads, and just writing in general.
Not to insult anyone, and I'm only stating something I think. It's merely an opinion. I don't want to cause any conflict or anything, I just wanted to get it out.
And so that's when I never told anyone my age.
But now I'm turning eleven, and I thought...I couldn't keep it a secret anymore. So there you have it- I'm eleven, or at least I will be in three days.
But enough talking! Let's celebrate! *Hands gluten-free-chocolate-cake-with-peppermint-frosting-and-chocolate-sprinkles-on-it to everyone* That's the kind I'm having on my birthday. Although I might change the frosting flavor to chocolate and have it be an all-chocolate cake.
*Throws confetti up in the air* Yay! Birthdays!
*Turns on Lindsey Stirling and Coldplay and Imagine Dragons and Twenty One Pilots on, all at the same time*
*Music plays* "Shatter me...'cause you're a sky full of stars...but with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide...all my friends are heathens...."
*Hears music* Shatter me 'cause you're a sky full of stars but with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide, all my friends are heathens? WHAT?
*Watches from sidelines* *Slowly, a smile spreads over his face* *Walks over* *Puts ice down Arwen's collar and runs away*
AGGGHHHH!!!
*Doubles over in laughter* G'night, everyone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEAFPOOL!
I always thought you were older! You have a very sophisticated way of writing. And I remember being 11... good times....
But who cares about my nostalga! >throws confettin in the air< HAPPY BIRTHDAY! A FEW DAYS EARLY, BUT WHO CARES!
And peppermint frosting is so good! That is brillant!

...
WOW. Leafpool, first on your age, you are a fantastic writer, and I would never have thought you were ten. I was thinking at least twelve years old. And I see what you are talking about, where the older people seem to get more people liking and joining their RPs and things. It's sad.
But on the happier note, Happy Early Birthday!
*Throws more confetti*
It is PARTY TIME, Arwen do you know how to do the macarena?
The macarena, Zeon? Really? *Smiles* I am the one that taught you that. Right, Ashlee?
I... Err... I am the one that taught it to both of you from my friend who taught me.
Anyways, Leafpool, I hope you have a brilliant birthday and a great year full of discovery, success, and adventure. And sorry for not being on much with my AEs.

Happy early birthday! I'm turning 12 in March 2017, so I guess that we were both born in 2005. :)
Are you in 5th grade? I'm in 6th.

Happy B-day!!!! (Coco is actually just a bit younger than you, so don't feel bad! And Mei said she was eleven!)
(October 30, 2016 - 3:56 pm)
Happy birthday to you! You're ten? Cool! I'm ten, too! Happy birthday! *Confetti*
(October 30, 2016 - 5:17 pm)
Wow, really? From your style of writing and mature way of speaking, I'd assumed you were 12-13.
But that's beside the point. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! *listens to magic on iPod* GO COLDPLAY!!!!
(October 30, 2016 - 8:20 pm)
Wow, I always thought you were 12! You seem so mature! Happy birthday!!!!
(October 30, 2016 - 10:26 pm)
Happy Birthday!
I didn't think you were 10, you're very advanced for your age! Enjoy being 11 if you can, it's a good year. Also, woohoo you play good music! Enjoy your gluten-free-chocolate-cake-with-peppermint-frosting-and-chocolate-sprinkles!
*hands pressents* *whispers* it's a book! *throws confetti and steamers everywhere*

*in denial*
You were TEN!?
No offense to ten year olds but WHAT!?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE SOME 13 YEAR OLD!!!!!
A 13 YEAR OLD IN A TEN-NOW-ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD'S BODY!!!!!!!HOW WERE YOU SO MATUREE!?!!?
Icy could pass for an AE.
Yep.

Heh. Yeah, I suppose I don't usually really act like a ten/eleven-year-old. Usually. And I've technically been writing since I was 3 or 4, (at that point I was dictating to my older sister) so I've had a lot of practice...I always feel like my writing doesn't measure up, though. Hey, self-critisism. It's awful.
I also have two siblings in college, so I've been around older people a lot.
It's funny, because I had a feeling that when I checked this thread, a lot of people would be be saying that they thought I was older, like 12-13 or so. *Shrugs* :) But my birthday is tomorrow! Yay! I'm hoping to get a camera- but that probably won't happen- but who knows! And I got a super-awesome fluffy handmade knitted scarf from my friend in NC, except my mom won't let me have it until tomorrow. :/ But I actually was really hoping to get a scarf, so it's AWESOME! Yayyy!!!

Happy slightly early birthday Leafpool!!!
I can't believe you're turning 11. You've always seemed older to me! I hope you have an awesome day tomorrow! Here's a stack of presents for you! (It might not show up though)
