It's my CBversary!

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

It's my CBversary!

It's my CBversary! As of today, February first, I have now been on the CB for a whole year! Strange... it feels like so much longer. Yet so much shorter at the same time. I read a few of my old posts and I noticed how differently I write. I think I've improved! 

I've changed how I act on here. I'm more like myself, when before I used to try to act like how I thought other people on the CB acted. I would try to be crazy and wild, would use way too many exclamation points when they weren't needed. I am crazy and wild, and I'm definately not against a lot of exclamation points, but that's not my entire personality. It's just the part I originally wanted people to see. Now I try to show my whole, real personality, who I truly am. And I'm happier about it.

I'm rambling now. Sorry. 

I am so glad I've met you all. I count some of you as my best friends, and it's strange to think that I've never seen most of you. I feel like I know all of you so well, without ever seeing your faces. I have watched as we've all grown and changed through this year, gained CBers and lost. Yet, through it all, we have a community. One Chatterbox which calls us to write, draw, inspire, create worlds and people, cities, heros, spies, and villians. So thank you all, for the charries, stories, and memories.

On a different note: I was published! I got the February mag yesterday! Yay!

I love you all so much. Thank you for being my friends. Here's to many more wonderful years together!

Thanks, Dandelion! It's true though- I'm much more comfortable being myself now. I don't know if it was the CB or just getting more friends in real life, but I'm a lot more confident. I'm much happier here and in the real world acting how I am.

Eevee says Finn! Have you been watchin Star Wars, Eevee?

Thanks BookBug! That's a really kind thing for you to say. I think you are one of the kindest, most accepting and encouraging people I've ever met.

Congratulations on one year, Cockleburr! I remember when you joined as Lyra S, last year. I remember your part in my Gods and Goddesses roleplay. I would say more but I have to go!

Thanks, Scylla! The Gods and Goddesses roleplay was so much fun! Did I tell you I found the video thing you made for it? It was cool! I don't think I ever thanked you for telling me to change my name. Lyra S. wasn't my true name here. Cockleburr is, and I probably wouldn't even have stayed if I didn't know my name. So, thank you.

Aww, you're welcome! I'm grateful that I could help you find your name. Also, I'm sorry about cramming so much text into each slide of the video; I should've edited it more thoroughly. I've improved now, and I might animate some of my favourite RPs in a while!

Happy Cbversary!!! Have some sparkles!!!

Cockleburr, you are one of the amazingest, creativest CBers on here (yes, I know amazingest and creativest aren't words, who cares,) and we all love you. You are really fun to rp with, and you're just a really unique person. Have a slice of virtual cake :)

Thank you, Mirax! I never knew you thought I was cool! I always thought you were the cool one, with your epic mix of Star Wars and Jane Austen. I remember when you joined! I can't wait for your CBversary!
