I'm back!

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I'm back!

I'm back!

Sorry, I kind of left without any warning! I just needed a break for a bit, so I guess I left for like a week. Or two. My apologies for not telling you guys!

So how have things been going? Did I miss anything or any new people? I saw that Rohan's leaving... But otherwise, that's the only thing I have read today. 

Oh, and I hope you guys are ready for summer! At least where I live it's going to be in 90s and 100s all summer. Which means one thing: lots of vacations. To. The. Ocean. Joy!

Ashlee!!!! I was worried about you! I saw your thread the other day, and I was worried that you left for good! How are you? I hope you won't take any more unexpected vacations! I can't answer your question because I actually took an unexpected vacation for a few days as well. Haha, and here I am saying that to you. Sorry. butoh I'm so happy you are back!!

Love you!

Ahh, Silver!! I feel it's been ages! Hence the reason I came back because I felt bad about leaving you guys. Sometimes I just need a break, and I have a bad habit of leaving without a trace. But nope, I have no intentions of leaving for good! Not for a few more years at least.

I am doing fabulous at the moment! I have been binge-watching Doctor Who, and I absolutely love it. Oh, and I finally bought myself a good camera!! It's been almost two years and I had just a compact camera, one of those fairly cheap digital ones you can get for like $80 dollars. Still loved both dearly, but they broke to the weather! And one was weather proof for goodness sake. So yeah, I spent $320 and got a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ70. AND IT COMES TOMORROWWWW!!! Sorry, super excited about that. So yep, mind the caps!

Anyways, enough about how I'm doing, how are you doing? Love you!

Oh my goodness! That is AWESOME!!!!!  I didn't know you like photography! I LOVE it! I haven't ever seen your kind of camara, you'll have to tell me how it does!! I have a Coolpix L840 with a wide zoom and everything! It is an awesome camara!! Does yours have changable lense?

I'm doing pretty good, waiting for school to get out and stuff...are you gonna be doing Camp NaNoWriMo this year??? (please say yes!) You can get your novel started now! Only 17 days until you write!! YAY! 

Oh dearie... I had better finish the story that I am working on so I can start a new one! Haha!

YES! I absolutely love photography!! I believe I've seen some of your work too on a thread? Maybe that was another one. Anyways, that is awesome that you like it too! My parents have a Coolpix, but I don't know which one. Yours sounds really cool though! So I just got mine yesterday afternoon, but it's great! I miss my good old Nikon Rebels that I borrowed from the school, but those are a couple thousand dollars. This one doesn't change lens, but it has a 60x zoom! And it looks really wide, but I haven't read up on that yet. Ohh, maybe I can get a quick pic I took. Let's see if it shows up... (It's from the corner edge of the main street of town. If it shows, you should be looking at the old hotel they are rebuilding. Appature was supposed to be that way because I was messing with settings. Pretty nice camera, I am happy with it! BEYOND happy!)

Oh yes, I am going to do Camp Nano! I almost completely forgot about it. Seventeen days... I'll mark that on my calendar. Which means I seriously need to get a story idea! xD

So what's your story going to be on then?

And another one! No, my town isn't this green! It's the only green spot at the "City Park" which is literally like a 20-30 feet or less of grass and some ivy with a little gazebo. Yep, that's my town for you!

Heyo, Ashlee! Welcome back! It's alright, we all have to take breaks occasionally. I'm glad you've returned to us! :) Other than the beach, do you have any summer plans? Mine include gymnastics, gymnastics, and more gymnastics. Oh, and I'm going to be a student assistant for this cool marine science camp which is all about exploring and learning about the James River! I can't wait, it'll be awesome!

*hugs* I'm so happy to see you again, Ashlee!

Hey Ashlee! Great to see you. Though sorry, I admit I didn't really notice that you haven't been around... Anyway, I hope you get to be around more this summer, and boy, your city sounds really hot. Where I live it's usually in the 70s and 80s in the summer. It's really nice weather usually. (okay that was really random:) Ya, so *hugs* <3

Hey Dandelion, nice to see you too! It's okay, I wasn't gone awfully long, only a week or two. Yeah, hopefully, I can be on more this summer! As work and school settle down I should have more free time. Our city - and half the state - gets this hot all the time! At least it isn't humid, which is nice. I think 70s and 80s are perfect, oh, and 60s, are absolutely perfect summers. Or weather in general! Yep *hugs* glad to see you again!

Hey, Cockleburr, long time no see! Thanks! So how have you been doing recently? As for me, I'm thinking... who knows? I literally have no summer plans. xD Maybe a bit of camping here and there. If I had my own car and my license I'd be traveling every summer. Oh well, there's always when I am older!

I forgot you like gymnastics!! I'm kinda not too flexible anymore, but when I was younger - around maybe 7 - I did gymnastics. While I was terrified of rolls and things, I absolutely loved balance beams. And being a student assistant? That's awesome! I would seriously love to do that!

*Hugs* I am glad to see you again too, Cockleburr!
