Hey everyone!!!

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Hey everyone!!!

Hey everyone!!!

 

I can't believe it's been five years since the CB came up with this reunion. That's amazing. I've been slowly watching today get closer for months now. It is awesome seeing all my old and not-so-old friends again! Not to mention some new faces.

It has been a long while since I've been here. I kind of migrated from the CB to chat services like Discord as well as PS4 and letters. Still, this place is more than home. 

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Ashlee! Fellow oldie (perhaps the oldest person on here today?) Who joined nearly 8? years ago. I've been off and on since then, usually only active during spring/summer. I'm a homeschooled senior with four little siblings and two longhaired orange tabbies. I love art, reading, writing, webtoons, photography, nature, and video games. Weird mix. Anywho, I'm your fellow Whovian and LOTR fan (still on the last book so shhh). I also love Property Brothers, The Voice (Netherlands is amazing), America's Got Talent, and things like that. And if you ever want to obsess over Webtoons comics with me, please do! I currently read over 80 I think.

How have things been? Any new hobbies or adventures you guys have taken up? I'll probably be on for the whole reunion week, so I'd love to chat!

P.S ~ I still have Zeon and Quill, who will forever be madly in love with their crushes. I wonder if Arwen is still here? Or CL's MewFour?

Hello Ashlee. I remember you now! I hope you're doing well. I've been faring okay so far. 

I use Discord a lot too.

Hi Nov! I was just about to write on your thread. I'm doing well! School has been keeping me busy, but it's all good. I'm glad to hear you are doing okay too. I remember you, but I'm trying to remember if I met you within the past few years or a long time ago. 

Discord is nice, but I'm currently on hiatus from it.

I joined at the beginning of 2016, and you came back later.  

But perhaps in a previous life, I was an oldie, heh.

*tackle hug bear hug flying hug*

MEEP! Ashlee! Heyeyeyeyeyyyyyy! Omigosh. *deep breaths* OKAY I'M OVERWHELMED.

Hi. Nice to see you. 

*starts uncontrollably sobbing*

^my mental state today

Welcome back, Ashlee! <333 Happy Valentine's Day. Arwen's here! My Æs went on a long hiatus last year but I brought them back, also last year. (Gosh, everything's last year! Oh man. And today's the day.)

I have to get offffff nowwwwww but I'll try to bring Arwen around later!

*hugs again*

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! LEAFY!

*Very big tackle bear hug*

Here, here, take an inhaler! DON'T PASS OUT ON ME.

Hi, nice to meet you too.

*Hands Leaf a tissue*

 

Thank you <33 Double Happy Valentine's Day to you too. Hi Arwen! My AEs went into (virtual) reality via Sims 4 two years ago, and occasionally pop up in conversations with my sister. Oh, and art. And secretly in stories. Zeon is currently making a Valentine's gift for Arwen, but he'll be on later.

ASH! You weren't supposed to talk about that! 

Woops. Don't tell Arwen.

*Hugs*

ASHLEE! AHH! :D It's so good to see you again!

I'm more present on Discord too now, so it's cool to see that. And Webtoons? Oh definitely. I read Bluechair, Outrage, Live With Yourself, Urban Animal, and a lot more. But besides that, how have you been recently? Have you been busy? 

(And MewFour is definitely still here, haha. ^^ He has definitely not forgotten Quill.)

CLOUD! CL!! (Second time I've screamed that today) It's good to see you too!

Ahhh why must you be on Discord while I'm on an indefinite hiatus? I'm sure I'll see you on there when I return. Oh yes, Webtoons is the best. I loveee Bluechair! Sometimeswhen I'm bored I redraw my favorite episodes of his. I will admit, I fall for the romance/drama ones. *coughIshiptoomuchcoughcough* I've been plenty good, just really busy with school. This is my last semester so I'm trying to grind out senior requirements. And college stuff. And life. Yay life. I'm still socially awkward, so that hasn't changed xD

How about you? Anything new?

(Quill would be glad to hear that! I believe she's finally escaped her depressed slump after you and the AEs left. She hasn't forgotten Mew, but refuses to talk about him)

ASH ASH ASH *hugs* Ahhh, it's so good to see you againnn!!! (I've just been going down the line of threads saying hi to everybody, and I wish my fingers could type faster. xD)

Ooh! What kinds of PS4 games do you like to play? I used to play a wide variety, but now I really just stick to Minecraft. :P

The biggest adventure I've done recently is go from homeschooling to private schooling. It's beena change for sure, but definitely a good one. It's nice to get out of the house more and socialize. The only issue is that the school is an hour and a half away from our house. :/ (Then again, almost everything is far away 'round these parts.)

Anyway, it's so good to see you again!

MICE MICE MICEEEE!! *Bear hugs* It's great to see you too!! (That's what I've been doing all morning xD)

I play a bit of everything from Apex: Legends, Fortnite, Minecraft (PS4, Bedrock, and Java), COD (WWII on PS4, BO II and Ghosts on PS3), Sims 4 (PC) and Subnautica right now. I'm about to start Red Dead II as soon as I have time. I used to play even more, like Assassins Creed, but my sister now has the PSi in her room so I rarely get to use it. Minecraft is awesome though! :D

That is one huge change. Do you like it better than homeschooling? I've always wondered what private school is like. I can imagine the social aspect, that must be nice. That drive though! The nearest public school that I used to go to is 1/2 a mile away. Although shopping is 45 min-1.5 hrs. Our town is real tiny with only 400 people.

How are your chickens? Do you have any more animals?

Nice to see you again too! *hugs*

LEEEELLIIII!! 

*Massive bear hug*

Hiii!! It's great to see you too! I've been great! Really busy and also hiding from the snow and cold, but still good. I have been reading all sorts of new books recently, trying to expand my genres. LOTR, John Green books, The Stand by Stephen King, and some other really good ones like The Poet X and The Hate U Give. Have you read anything good recently? How have you been?

I also want to give a little shout out to the Admins! You guys hold my utmost respect. I look around and see all the work you guys do, between filtering, posting messages, and giving guidance. That's pretty awesome. Ice Cream Admin in particular needs a shout out for their great stories! All of you (there's three or four right?) are extremely caring, passionate people. I'm not sure what the CB would be like without you.

Thank you guys for everything you do. I know there were times I wasn't at my best, and I realize that. I'm sorry you had to deal with my past faults. Thank you for putting up with me over the years. I promise I've had a change of heart.

I look forward to where you Admins lead the CB in the future! Much love! <3 

 

Thank you! We've had some old Admins go and some new ones come in, but we're always so glad to see old friends come back to the CB. :) --Admin

Hiiiiii! So cool to meet you! I love your name, by the way. Totally random, but it's one of my favorite names.

I also love reading, writing, and nature!

It's great to meet you!!
