Reunion Thread
Hey, uh, the reunion is in 2 days, and in the past we've always had a main thread for one? I'm a little early but I just think when old CBers begin to arrive, they ought to have somewhere to go… So, um, hi! I hope it's okay I'm making this thread if I'm a current CBer, I don't know if it's usually the old CBers that do it…
Anyways, hello, everyone! For anyone who doesn't know, every February 14th we have a reunion where old CBers pop in to say hi. It's really cool to see everyone!
For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Periwinkle, but most people just call me Peri. I'm a current CBer, here since January 2021. I use she/her pronouns, and you'll usually catch me working on my ski-lodge, giving advice on the Confessions thread, writing about my AEs, and occasionally sharing my poetry.
And for anyone looking for old reunion threads, here's a few. Thank you to Kitten for providing all these links last year so I only had to dig up the 2022 reunion, saved me a lot of time XD

Hey there! Aw, that's really nice to hear, haha. I'm also aware we didn't talk like, super often, but I always really appreciated everything you said! Honestly, I also always looked up to you. You had (and I'm sure still have) such a sweet and caring way of approaching situations and people.
I've been doing pretty good! Definitely much happier now. I had a weird like, crisis of faith, but I think I'm pretty satisfied with where I've ended up with my personal beliefs and my own sense of self. I hope you're doing well yourself!

ahh thank you?? I'm glad to hear that you're doing well :) I'm pretty good as well!

Hey, good to see you- I love the Talking Heads! My mom showed me their Little Creatures album last summer on a road trip; it was her favorite album when she was my age. I'll have to listen to the others. I'm envious that you have an actual career plan; psychology is so cool but... I can't science, lol.
(February 14, 2023 - 3:27 pm)
Talking Heads is great. Right now I'm really vibing with their songs "I Zimbra" and "Road to Nowhere." Not having an exact career plan figured out is okay! You've got time and most people's career paths aren't straightforward anyway.

Sybill! Hi!
Like Lumi, I feel like we've never really spoken, but I definitely looked up to you. It's great to see you again! I've always been interested in psychology and sociology, and I hope to take some courses in high school. Anything I should know beforehand? Anyway, again, it's so good to see you :)
(February 14, 2023 - 4:41 pm)
Hey pangolin! Great to see you too!! If there's anything I would suggest--and this is true in all aspects of life, tbh--keep an open mind. Sociology is all about how people are connected... so don't try to separate yourself from other people so much! No matter what you're going through or how you feel about things, I can guarantee there is another person out there who feels exactly the same as you. You're never alone! More practically, hone your observation skills. Notice all the little things that people do, whether it be something as miniscule as how often they use "like" when they're talking or something more noticeable like how they dress and what gender they are. Also, take copious notes. Sticky notes are awesome. And by "copious", I mean write down a lot of shorthand, quick little things, just to jog your memory. You could also research some past psychologists and sociologists! I just did research projects on Lev Vygotsky and Harriet Martineau, both of whom are really cool and fascinating people.

Thank you so much, this is really helpful!

Hey Sybill! I'm not sure if you remember me but I did my first rp with you on Kyngdom. I'm not sure if you ever realized that but it was an amazing introduction into the CB and everything as a whole and I am so grateful that you took a chance on a random post. I loved writing with you and I always looked up to you and took inspiration from you for my own writing.
Clinical psychology is super cool! It's one of the things I'm looking into studying in the future (I'm not at college yet!) along with chemistry and fun sciency stuff.
I'm happy to see you doing well though. I hope life goes well for you in the future!
(February 14, 2023 - 9:40 pm)
Hi Moonlight! I definitely remember you and our first Kyngdom roleplay together. Honestly, I might go back and draw some of those characters because they still mean a lot to me. I hope every is well for you! It's really nice to hear from you again.
(February 15, 2023 - 7:41 am)
I think I joined after you left, Sybill, but I can remember seeing you in the mag or around Kyngdom. You're the person I associate Kyngdom with, as like one of those crazy old and important CBers. idk if this is just me, but hi and it's so cool to actually read you instead of just seeing what you wrote years and years ago!
(February 15, 2023 - 11:53 am)
Aww, that's very kind of you! I wasn't active on Kyngdom during its conception, but it was very important to me and I was on it for many, many years. So it's very much an honor to me to be associated so closely with it.
(February 15, 2023 - 2:55 pm)
Hey there CB!
Gosh, its been so long since I came on here... How has everything been going? I wasn't very active anyway, when I stuck around here around... maybe 2019? I forgot. School really weighed me down, and I didn't have time to make a ski lodge, take part in a RP, or anything really. I mostly messed around and stayed to read everyone else's posts. Nowadays I'm juggling classes in school with playing tennis, learning arabic, writing music and finishing chores at home. Its tiring, to say the least.
I did take part in some ski lodges though. In the first weeks I was active, there was a outburst of them. I'm glad to see the same event taking place once more in Pudding's Place, like, there are 6 or 7 of those running now, that's insane.
I hosted some hay fights, I recall that. It did start to die out later though, has there been one lately?
There is a Catch The Cookie in Inkwell however, I'm glad to see that, I made one before. (One of the only threads I made, accompanied by Corrupt a Wish.)
Aaand Last To Post is still up, along with the Poetry thread and Art Posting, along with Ultimate Picturings, that's always nice to see, despite me not being able to draw to save my life.
There are also old faces! Or, famillar faces at least. Silver Crystal, Jaybells, Emekittycon Kitten, Pangolin... I still remember these names. I wonder who might remember me. Maybe Admins? I dunno?
Whatever. Happy valentine's day everyone! I think I'll stick around for a few days before to-do-lists finally catch up with me. Heh.
Thanks for listening to my long rant about unimportant things.
(That wasn't the note I wanted this to end on, but its the best I can manage.)
Glad you're doing well, Zealatom. - Admin
(February 14, 2023 - 8:25 am)
Zealatom!!! Ofc I remember you! You were one of the main characters in my very first ski lodge way back around two years ago. It's great to see you again!
(February 14, 2023 - 11:53 am)
ZEALATOM! Hi! I remember you! Like you said, ski lodges, the Last to Post thread, and the Catch the Cookies are still going strong, although we haven't had a hay fight in a while. It's so good to hear from you! Tennis sounds really fun -- I haven't played much, but I want to -- and so does learning Arabic! I've always wanted to learn a new language, but don't have the motivation :/ Oh, and writing music is pretty fun too! I'm not great at writing music, but I have experimented a little, and it's really fun! It's great to see you again, and I wish you luck with balancing your classes and activities.
