@Admin, I feel like other Cbers posts seem to allude to this. And yes, I do believe that opinions should be respected, and I've been trying to do this, but it's hard when other people won't respect your own.

Well, since I've been on today, the only mention others have made of you is to thank you for something.

Top.

I'm here for you no matter what. If no one else is there for you, come talk to me. As Dumbledore says, "We are only as strong as we are united, and as weak as we are divided." I know what it's like to feel lonely. 

*hugs*

*hugs again* 

Aw, Cho, I'm so, so, sorry if I offended you in the Politics Thread. I wasn't trying to say that everything you said was wrong. I was trying to state my beliefs, as you were. I'm really sorry. I think that maybe politics aren't the best subject for CB and that we should stick to debating Harry Potter instead. :)

Wait, WHAT?!?! Since when have I disappeared? Are you in an alternate universe or something? WHAT THE MEOWING CAT!?! Okay, so if I disappeared, has an identity thief been posting under my name? And why does that thief have my exact personality? Anyway, I'm still here. Moonshadow is as well. It's a different Moonshadow on Kyngdom, which is why our Moonshadow changed to Shadowmoon. It's kind of funny, the guild I'm in on a game called Summoners' War is called Moonshadow as well. So many Moonshadows.... And since when have I contradicted you? You're among my favorite CBers!

Oh no! It's okay. I'm sure Mei doesn't hate you. Also, I shall hug you. 

*hugs Cho*

And yes, it has changed, but I don't think everyone thinks you're wrong.  

*hugs*

*reaches through computer screen and gives big hug* 

Oh, what do you mean, Cho? I really love having you on this thread. Please don't think you're underappreciated or anything...the only time I can ever remember there being some sort of controversy involving you was the whole Cho Chang name thing.

I don't think you're wrong. I don't think you're incorrect. 

Don't be blue, Cho C! I know what you mean, with the whole nostalgia thing, missing how things used to be n the CB. I can relate- though not in the same way. I have not been on the CB for a terribly long time, so I don't exactly feel that way about the CB, although, I do miss the excited frenzy that was in this place over the summer- so much fun! So many RPs, people actually argued that there were too many! Anyway, how I relate is, well, with school.

Last year, I was in 5th grade, which was considered elementary. It was the year things started shifting into middle school, but not all that much. It was so fun- there were 50 people in the grade. There were only a few people. Everyone knew everyone, it was fun, the teachers had a special bond with you, I felt...well, comfortable around everyone. Even the people I "disliked", I still were familiar with them, I knew them well, I was comfortable with them.

Suddenly in 6th grade, it all changes. Suddenly, about 40 people came back, and 100 new kids came. Everything seemed to flip upside-down. There are no "bullies" and not really truly mean people, like in middle schools I read about in books or maybe like one of you CBer's middle schools. But it's not so comfortable like this year. I make it my duty to know everyone's name, and I pretty much do. But I don't really know a whole lot about them. The closeness, the nostalgia of last year is gone. Even some of my old friends seem less close.

And then a few of them changed completely. One of them- kind of like this tall but big softie guy is now all punk/Goth. Another became more shy. Another, who used to be very shy, became extroverted. Actually, I am better friends with him now, but that's not the point.

And then my best friend moved to Scotland.

Scotland.

Scotland!

All the way to freakin' Scotland. 

I...it was so difficult for me. I eventually got over it, then the pain resurfaced when she came back to visit a few days ago. It was different than the nostalgia at school- I still have a grand time at at school, and that was only last semester that I felt a pang of loss. Now I am totally okay, I like it now.

Anyway, when she came back...that closeness seemed to be gone. I felt really sad, it was almost like we weren't best friends anymore. Then they went back to Scotland, me still feeling like a part of me was missing.

Wow, I just wrote a lot. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make this about me....wow, that just poured out. Sorry, Cho.

But as I said before, I like having you here! I like the posts you create, and teh ideas you come up with. You seem to have a cool personality, like if I knew you in real life, I would be friends with you.
