So, guys. I

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

So, guys. I

So, guys. I would like to confess something. Lately, I have been feeling. . . estranged from the CB. I feel out of place, like a child who was late and just entered the class. I suppose this is due to my being occupied and not posting as much. I feel like no one really knows who I am anymore. I really want to get rid of this feeling, but I don't have the slightest clue as to how I am supposed to get around to doing that. I need advice and reassurance, and you guys are the best at that.  

Madeline and Nina have returned, as you all have seen. I missed them both very much, and want to get to know them better, because I am afraid we really did not talk before they left. If either of you are reading this, here are the basics of who I am.

I am Cayke, and I have been on the CB for year and three months. I am thirteen years old, and I love the Anne of Green Gables series, the Little Women series, randomness, writing, drawing, reading, antique furniture, the 1960-1990s, ice cream, food, babies and little kids, cats, Pusheen, reading the CB's archives, you people, and anything classic! I tend to drown in nostalgic waters more often than is good for my health. I have wanted to meet you for a long time, so hello and welcome back! I am looking forward to seeing you around!

With many sparkly sparkles, custard-flavored pudding, and chocolate flavored caramel cookies,

Hi, Cayke!

I'm sorry you feel out of place. When I came back, I thought it seemed like you were the one everyone wanted to be friends with. (:

For more details about myself, I am Madeline. I created Fable from Croud Sorcery, and I love anything involving the subject English. I play soccer, futsal, and cross country for sports (you probably already knew that based on my coming back post). People who have done the ski lodges with me know that I have a slight obsession for blue moon icecream -- which I am pretty sure you can only find in the midwest. I am a very busy person, which is why I don't post that much either.

I love art, listening to music, and doing anything creative. I used to run a newspaper called the Thompson Times, a newspaper that my friends, teachers, and relatives al subscribed to. Unfortunately I got too busy for that as well, which I miss.

I'm fourteen and I love traveling, reading, and photography as well. I have an unhealthy addiction to orange juice and chocolate milk. I post some of my writing on the Inkwell from time to time.

I hope to see you around and become better friends with you! (:

Aww, Cayke! *hugs*

I have to admit that.... well, I kind of feel that way myself. It may just be blues about not seeing any of my friends, but... the sense of being special.... well, or a word like that, I can't quite name it, just wasn't coming to me. Many's the time I've started crying into the couch cushions. (but that's mostly because I won't see most of my friends again.) 

Do you want to hear a secret? Promise not to tell? We are standing near a wishing well. No, just kidding. Sorry. Before Somebody came along, and a bit after that, actually, you were top on my list of CBer friends. I wanted to be your BCBB until Nora came back. I have to admit I was rather jealous of her. But it's okay. 

I can't believe I finally told you. I hope it makes you feel better, anyway.

I, myself, am not as excited as I used to be about CB. I suppose this is a growing up stage, where you feel out of place any where. At least, that's what the adults say. *sniffs* 

Anyways, people are joining, people who you may not exactly feel comfortable with. However, you are still liked, no matter how much you feel like you aren't. Seriously, this isn't a lie. I can't think of any good reason for anyone to hate you, or ignore you, or any thing such as that. You are amazing Cayke! PLEASE know that!

Cayke,

You are an amazing person! You are thoughtful, kind, and the very definition of a friend. Everyone here loves you, and we would hate to see you go. I look up to you, as do many more, because you are one of those people who everyone loves. You have amazing talent as a writer and are altogether just lovely!

I know that was kinda short, but I would end up going forever if I attempted to write to the full exten of your awesomeness.

Stay amazing!

~Katy

Cayke, you are an amazing CBer, one the CB would most certainly not be the same without, at least for me. Honestly, I've been feeling that way ever sinse I came here- like I want to be special but I'm just not. Hopefully, It'll pass for you. I don't know about me. I'm a newbie, so I don't know what the CB used to be like, and it makes me feel a little left out. Enough sad stuff! Cheer up! You are a loved, amazing CBer, and I hope you know that!

Aw, Cayke, you shouldn't feel that way! You're one of the kindest, sweetest people I've ever met! I love reading any comments posted by you, because they literally make my day. I feel like you understand me better than anyone else on here, and I feel like we're sisters. I wish I could reach through this screen and give you a hug. You're awesome, Cayke, and the CB wouldn't be the same without you!

Cayke~

I know I'm pretty new, and I wouldn't call myself well-known like I call you, but I would love to be your CB friend. And it doesn't have to be like a really amazing friendship where we "talk" to each other all the time and love each othe and then one of us leaves and the other is heartbroken. But I just want you to know that you're a great friend, an amazing person, and someone who could put a smile on anyone's face. 

When I first came on to the CB, I thought I was posting too much, and I didn't really know who anyone was. Well, I kept thinking  I'm posting so much, I hope other CBers don't mind, And then I saw Cayke all over the CB, posting on so many things, and being so crazy and happy, and funny. And I thought If this person posts this much, I can too. And that's how you became my first CB role model.  I know it's a silly story, but it is true. 

When I first joined the CB, Winter Firefly had just admitted to impersonating Brookeira, and I had no idea what all the threads about it were about, so I ignored them. Not that this really has to do with anything. 

Oh well, I'm sorry but I'm terrible at writing things like this. I hope you understand how awesome you are, because you're definitly one of the most awesome people on the CB. Thank you for being here.
