Valentine's D

Valentine's Day 2019 Stuff

Yeah. I'll be there, but I was wondering if maybe we should prep for this at all. (It's coming up quick ...) Maybe create a humongous questionaire? (B/C QUESTIONS Y'ALL)

I know that a lot of old CBers will be returning, and not all of us will know each other, though there will be old friends of course. ^^

And then do you think that we should make it a week long celebration, or just the 14th. Not all of us are in the states (Moi, Coco, and maybe Killim? Anybody remember her? Is she still here?), or may be in vastly different time zones, so I feel that there should be enough time for everybody to say hi and read and whatnot. (Though we likely would stick around for a minute anyways, but why not make it officialish?)

Should someone be designated to make the post, so that we don't have multiple threads? Or should we just hang the consequences, and visit all the threads?

So yea. 

If there's a lot of people in favor of a questionaire, then I could add them all to this post as people send in suggestibles and whatnot. :)

Please send in all your advice!

My list of ideas thus far for questions to answer, all would be as you want to fill out, none would be required other than names. :)

Introduction, freelance

Description of how you think you would look on the CB

AE descriptions

Captcha descriptions

How 2018 went

How life in general has been

Favorite stuff

Skills

NaNoWriMo brags

etc. Again, further ideas would be loved on. :3

Extra Idea:

Maybe some kind of game played across the site? Maybe a scavenger hunt of some sort? 

 

Or am I getting too excited too soon? XP

@Admins, your ideas are appreciated too, I know you guys have got a busy schedule too, so your reccommendations on how far all of this should go would be wonderful.  

I'm getting excited, too, Cho! The reunion date was so far away and now it's so close. I think allowing a week is good. February 14 is on a Thursday, so you all should probably stick to that for the start, then keep checking in for a week or more after that. One thread where people answer items from your suggested questionnaire as they wish sounds like a good idea to me. I'm eager to learn what CB alums are doing these days, what they're studying or how they spend their days. Are you still in Japan? Others may have good ideas for additional threads. Many of you are much more creative than I am. I do think it's a good idea to give it some advance thought.

I have a few older hens who have also stopped laying, but one of them gave me chicks last year so my family is starting to get more eggs again. How many chickens do you have now?

That is great that you are applying for colleges! Do you have something in mind that you would like to major in? 

Oh sweet! I've made a few wobbly videos with an old camera before, but nothing fancy. How long was your video? 

Awww, thank you Eevee! *zhugs back*

Yeah, that would be great!! You can make at any time you want at this point, I think most of us are here, and the rest will show up on the day itself. :))

Thank you so much for that suggestion; it's a good one, and appropriate, too. *hugs* You're so caring. 

Eyy, Sloth says udao! That really makes me think of Umaro, a character in Final Fantasy II. (He's awesome.)

Oh, I can't wait for tomorrow!!  

You know how when you inhale so fast that you kind of like choke? Is- is that just me? Maybe... xD

No no, I do that too, I was just (half-heartedly) making a joke about Air, an older and long-absent CBer who used to be on here and maybe will be visiting. ;)

The Admins shared this on a thread that Cockleburr started over on Pudding's Place. It was the first time I watched it and it made me very proud to be part of this wonderful place. I thought I would share this with everyone else who missed the CB's 10th anniversary along with me. I love you people. <3

@Admins, I’m super glad to be back and see you guys too! How are you? Are you doing well?

*flying tackle hug*

AHHHH--*turns caps lock off* Oh my gosh, Kyoto!! Hi!! Ahh, I'm so happy to see you! I totally freaked out when I saw your name xD *hugs again* I missed you, and it's so great to see you around again! How are you?

OMG LEELI BEST FRIEND I MISSED YOU SO MUCH SKSKSKHGIEJVOWNEWOCIUEVHIEV

You're one of the people I missed the most honestly, and it's so good to see you around again!!! I'm actually doing alright; school is stressful but I'm starting to get the hang of all the things I need to do so although I may not be on Cricket for a long time, I'll try to get into the habit of writing again so one day I can join again. <3

But how are you? It's literally been ages. Anything big happen in your life?

Aaahh, you were one of the people I missed the most too! If you ever did join again, even just to pop up every now and then, I would be ecstatic. I'm pretty alright, but I totally feel you about school being stressful and all. Life in general has just gotten really stressful for me. Even though I'm still homeschooled, high school is killing me slowly. xD Ah, it really has been ages. I can't think of anything particularly big that's happened to me. My dog passed away (we'd been expecting it for awhile though, as she was very old). We got a cat and then accidentally ended up with two. I turned fifteen in January and my friend from out of state showed up and surprised me, I got a phone, started a few new writing projects, and my family finally went to Disney World. What have you been up to? Any big life-happenings for you?
