Valentine's D

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

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.

Hello! I'm so happy to finally meet you, your art is amazing, and I love it to pieces. (Coco has been looking on the Art Thread as of late.)

If Catsclaw doesn't make the ski lodge thread or says that they would like help, that would be awesome. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I bet it’s all terrible, though, I haven’t posted there in a while. 

You’re welcome!

Listen here. What you do with your pens and pencils is amazing. I love every single piece of your art that I have seen. The hair, the suggested movement; it's stellar. I cannot express how much I love your art. I would just gush and gush, and I'd rather point out why I like it. So I've done the best I can, and will leave it at that.

I can only say this in advice, as I only dabble in drawing: Keep going, and don't be hard on yourself. Some days it will seem to be almost perfect, others nothing will turn out right. Keep going. If that's the thing which makes you happy--girl, you've got it made. :)

Thank you again! That was very thoughtful. I still think I have a lot to learn, but I’m glad that what little I know makes you happy.

Sorry I haven't commented again in a while... 

Puck: It's only been a few days! Also-hi PinkiePieper!! *grins* I know you might not be the same now, but to me, you'll always be the spunky PinkiePieper I know and love! *hugs PinkiePieper*

And Elsa-if you can see this-I've missed you. A lot. :) Please show up on Valentine's day! I'm not sure what I'd do without my first bestest friend! 

Ariel: "Bestest" is not a word.

Puck: *sticks tongue out* It is now! 

Me: *sigh* Quit it you two. And ok, ok. You're right. Only a few days. But yet I think I should have posted earlier. 

I had a (maybe) idea for Valentine's day:

What if we had a thread for CBers to post exerpts of stuff they've written? And any advice/writing tips for younger CBers/anyone who wants to?

I know that I would be really excited to see what some of the older CBers have written since they've left. Plus to see what everyone else has written! 

And maybe a book reccomendation thread...? 

*shrug* I don't know. These are just weird ideas floating through my head... because I think all the other best ideas have already been given out. 

All the other ideas are great-I'm really excited for Valentine's day!!! And I know that my AEs are really excited too! They'll get to see their old friends, and their brother Diovald will be back for a bit too! Oh hang on-I think Diovald is here for a bit...

Diovald: *peeks in timidly* Elsa? If you see this-just know that I still love you. You are never out of my thoughts, and you will always be my Snow Queen. I love you. *bows*

Me: Aww..... *stops as everyone stares at me* *coughs* Oops. Sorry. Anyways-I'll post more ideas if I think of any others. Toodles!

So. A weird thing happened over the last year. Pinkie PIEper and Thorn merged to create Batma'am. They can still kind of be seperated, but ...

I'm Batman. Or I could yell that all cakes are pies. Both of these seem to be reasonable solutions to me. :)

Which makes about as much sense as saying that the two of you are Batman or Batma'am. However you wish to phrase it, Cho.

Puck!! *tackles hugs* How have you been? Fiesty has been talking a bit about you two working on some surprises. I LOVE SURPRISES!! Don't spoil 'em.

*tries to speak over a yelling Pinkie PIEper* I really like the idea of a writing page! I think that would be fun.  

*blushes* Hello, Diovald. As charming as ever, I see? I hope you've been doing well.

Toodles to you too!

Ugh, I'm late to the party. Hey, Cho! I think I introduced myself briefly on an old thread, but I could be wrong, so I'm Gracia, the CB's resident HAY MASTER!!! This has probably already been discussed, but can we do a live chat?

submitted by Gracia
(December 20, 2018 - 8:40 pm)

Hi, Gracia! I believe that we may have met briefly, but if not, hello for the first time! The Admins said that it would be discussed, but nothing has been confirmed at this point. They said that would wait closer to the date, so yes. I hope that helps!

We've tentatively set the live chat for 7 to 9 pm Central Standard Time on February 14 and/or 15. We'll confirm it when time gets closer.

Yes, I’m excited for the 2019 reunion!!

@Cho I agree with admin since it’s a Thursday about maybe Thursday (and maybe Friday) being “main” days, but encouraging people to check in the week following, especially since posts can take a while and one day may not be enough. 

Also, I didn’t know you were in Japan! What for, and how’s that going?

i can reply with more feedback on ideas for he reunion and survey, just wanted to drop in first and say I’ll be there!

OWLGIRLLLLLL!!!! OH MY GOSH *tackle hugs* I'M SO PSYCHED TO SEE YOU! YOU DISAPPEARED AND I HAD NO IDEA WHERE YOU WERE OR IF YOU WERE OKAY *pants* because there were those giant storms down in Texas and stuff last year and I thought you lived around there? BUT OMIGOSH it's crazy to see you! Hiiii! Oh man. Hello. *tackle hugs again*

I'm crying. Why am I crying? Possibly because it's good to see so many Old CBers come back and reunite with friends. 

To any Old CBers: I kow there was a previous Secret, that is not me. I joined in...early June of 2018. Hello!
