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, everyone! Clouded Leopard/CL for those who remember me, though I dropped off for a little while. I saw Starseeker in the hallways, who reminded me to hop back on for this very special date. :P

 

Oh MAN it's been a day and a half since I've been here! So good to see so many old people, really makes me feel happy and nostalgic for this site. :D Like how's everyone's AEs? MewFour's still the same bitter stuck-up as ever. I'll be here for Valentine's Week - I'm pretty excited!

Can't wait to talk more!!

Okay, hi everyone! I need to get caught up on this stuff, ack! 

Everyone who's visiting, you won't know me. Hi, my name is Soren, and I'm only 11, and I'm a girl (she/her pronouns). I'm obsessed with Harry Potter, Captain America, and Minecraft Story Mode. I learned about the CB from Cricket mag. One fateful Sunday morning in early May 2018, I hesitantly asked my mom if I could post a comment on here (the Harry Potter trivia thread), and I haven't been the same since. I'm now more motivated to write, a half-deecent(ish) poet, a creator of more diverse charries, and rangler of 4 (yeah, I broke the rules a lil bit) AEs. 

This is where a person much funnier than me would type a very witty sign-off to get off to a good start. My sense of humor is as clever as a slug is handsome. Did I mention that my self-esteem isn't very high? 

*Submits quickly*

Lol, sorry I've cluttered it so much. XP

I always feel this need to 'keep up' with threads and continue writing on them if at least one or two other people are and respond to posts personally. ^^^ Witness. So hello. :)

I know we don't really know each other, but I've seen your name a lot, so you seem like a familiar face. It's great to actually meet you! Again, I'm sorry for all the extra posts, but real quick: Captain America is the best avenger, and always will be. *high fives* (How could he not be??) Though Black Panther is pretty close. It's also super cool that you're 11, Coco (my younger sister who'd also a CBer) is just a bit older than you! You seem to share interests too. ^^

@Leeli: HEY LEELI!!! It’s so great to see you!!!! It’s funny, you were actually the first person I recognized and was planning on saying hi xD this saves me from having to write a whole other message! XD YES I love archery! Yeah we shoot with compound bows too, I like them although the ones we use for competition (by rule) have a very light weight limit and are s but small for me. So I actually have to shoot in a weird way to get it to work xD How do you like them so far?

@Cho: CHO! Another peep I recognize! It’s so good to see you again! Yeah thanks, you too! I’m so glad we were able to do this. It’s so great seeing everyone again. I remember when we were talking about meeting Valentine’s Day 2019 like it was so far away, and yet here it is so fast. It’s bittrsweet. Okay random philosophical moment over xD Good to see you! 

@Leafpool: *tackle hugs in return* Hey buddy! Great seeing you too!:) DANG it feels like forever since I’ve seen you, how’ve you been?

My Gandalf, yes. I was talking to my mom the other day and remarked how I thought then that I thought that I would be so old now. XD

Way more people remembered this than I kinda thought that they would, but I'm not sure why I'm surprised. It's kind of like a chance at stepping back in time almost. It's great to see you too!

Hello to all of the returning CBers! You may or may not remember me-- I was just a little CBer when most of you were posting; it might be a better thing if you don't remember me, since I was rather annoying and didn't know how the CB worked. But hello anyway!

@Coconut the dog, nice to see you again! You hopped back onto YWP NaNo a while back, didn't you?

@Cho Chang, I know I already said hi, but hi again! 

@Owlgirl, hi! You probably don't remember this but we were in a RP or I read a RP with your characters in it. I just remember your characters being in it, and it being one of the most well-written things I'd ever read.

@September, great to see ya! How's life been?

@OtR, I don't think you remember me, but I joined briefly about 3 1/2 years ago and then again 2 years back. My point was, I remember you, and welcome back!

@Ruby M, Hello! So good to see you back! 

@Will T, hello as well! I'm not sure we were ever on at the same time, but I remember you from old threads and my sister, Poetic Panda, does too. (She says hi.) 

@Clouded, "saw Starseeker in the hallways"-- what a nice way to say that I literally ran into you and started yammering about February 14th. XD

And to all: I keep poking my sister about coming back but she's a little swamped with school right now. I'll make sure she pops in at least once, though!

*literally hasn’t checked this thread for a long tome* *finally takes a look at it again just to keep updated on planning things for Valentine’s day* *jaw drops open* *happy squeals* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! *jumps up and down around the room just super happy* 

Oh my gosh!!!!! More older CBers that I recognize!!!! Omgosh-I’m so excited!!!!

@Will T.: Hi!!! Not sure if you’ll remember me, but it’s really good to see you back!! :)

@Ruby: Hi Ruby! :)  Not sure is you’ll remember me either-but it’s really great to see you back as well!!! :)

@Clouded: *squeals* *tackle hug* *brushes myself off* *grins really big*

Hi Clouded!!! Not sure if you’ll remember me either- but it’s so good to see you around again-even if just for a bit! How are you? How’s life going for you?? 

My AEs are doing well-they miss their friends and cannot WAIT for Valentine’s Day!! :)

Glad to hear that your AES are doing well too. :)  

Also-Galahad says hi to  Vixtion, his feelings for her have not changed, even if her feelings for him have.

Aw man, now I'm actually getting all excited for Valentine's day! I wonder how many people are actually gonna come back on the day itself. 

 

@Leafpool - *tackle hugs back* AHH

@Starseeker - Well I had actually been thinking about it earlier that day, so it wasn't complete out of the blue or anything! And a good reminder nonetheless. 

@Joan - Joan!! Of course I remember you, it's so good to see you again! Life's pretty busy, as I'm getting a lot more homework and events in my life, but overall I'm doing okay. ^^ It's just fun being back here, mostly. And don't worry, Vixition hasn't forgotten Galahad. :)

If no one else is, I can do the get to know you thread!

@Cho, thanks for saying hi (that sounded very awkward... *coughs*)! How could anyone not think Captain America is the best avanger? He's obviously the best. 

(Funny story from today- my friend G. was teasing me for having a crush on someone I don't [said person is actually my friend O.O], so I looked him dead in the eyes and said "My boyfriend. Is. Steve. Rogers." remind me why I'm telling this story?)

Sorry for being awkward... *leaves uncomforably*
