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!

Thank you, September! I saw my name in the letterbox and just FREAKED OUT, screaming, "Oh my gosh, I WAS PUBLISHED! OH MY GOSH!" I was running down the hallway yelling my head off. I think I may have startled my dad.

Uh-huh, oh yeah, uh-huh, she's Cockleburr, she's awesome, woot!

Congratulations, my friend! I am so glad that you've stuck with us for a year. You are always so kind to every single person here (and I don't just say that in an offhand manner), so mindful of your actions, so insipiring and inspired, and so...you!

That's right, Burr. You're you. Please, please, please, don't ever change those crucial parts of your character!

**hugs**
