Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Yet another old

Yet another old cber thread for you guys, so have fun with that!!

I joined cb around late 2013-early 2014, and I think I left around 2016, but I'm not really sure if that's exact. Cricket was a big part of my life in those years, and I waited all day to get home so I could hop on my computer and go to chatterbox.

Now, I'm a sophomore in high school and I have my drivers permit (if you're ever in New England, stay off the roads ;)). I'm still really into theatre and I still love Jesus. I'm just taking things one day at a time, constantly trying to be a better person!! I'm so thankful to Cricket for helping me learn and grow, and for helping shape me into who I am today.

Also, I miss everyone so much!!!!! How is everyone doing? What are you guys up to? It's been too long ugh

Hey Poetic Panda!! How are you doing? I think my favorite show at the moment is Fly By Night, but one of my overall favorite shows is Something Rotten. I've also been getting into Starkid shows lately :)

Hi again Joss! I'm doing pretty well! Been busy, but fun!! Our last show for Jesus Christ Superstar is tonight. We got it rescheduled from Saturday because of the weather that supposedly came in (it wasn't really bad enough to cancel, but they called it early). Ooh I've heard of those, but never listened to them! *Phineas voice* Ferb, I know what we're going to do today! :)

Glad to hear you're doing well as well! It's great to hear from you again. :)

H Joss! I don't know if you remember me, but I certainly remember you! I joined in 2015. It was the same for me, I was always really excited to get home and get on the CB. Glad to hear high school and theatre are going well, and yay drivers permit! I don't have mine yet, though I want to get started...one of my friends wasborn a week before me and she already has her learners permit, whereas I haven't taken any lesson yet haha. I'm doing well, I'm a freshman right now. I've been doing normal schoolwork stuff, made new friends fortunately and still get to see my middle school ones too, doing a lot of choir and singing. Sometimes there's a lot of stress like staying up till 1 last night working on a project, but I guess that's high school. Glad to see you here!

Hey Owlgirl!!! I remember you!! I missed you :)) Yeah, the homework shift from middle school to freshman year can be pretty drastic, haha. It's so awesome to see you again, sending internet hugs!!!

@Joss yeah, that's where the ice came from--Tuesday/Wednesday.

Okay, so for my question! Here's what I've been burning to ask you for months now, and I won't give a long explanation because that would take too much time--

Did you use to know two sisters named Anne and Sarah? Because I'm pretty darn sure you did--long story short, Sarah's my best friend now and back in summer or fall I think I was just randomly asking her if she knew somebody named Joss, because why not? And she said yes, and I asked like, does she have glasses and blond hair and stuff, and she said yes, and basically, my description of you just perfectly matched up to the description of her Joss. Apparently she (you??) used to take violin lessons with Sarah's mom.

So, it sounded just like you and Sarah's Joss even had a brother apparently just like yours (he was on here for a short time a long time ago) and I was just thinking, like, this must be you. If not, then you have a serious double. If so, well...I don't know...I have no idea if like, Sarah's mom would still have your mom's contact information or something? That would probably be an awkward way to contact you so probably no anyway but it's just so crazy if that was you...like...we're basically connected this way! And I remember I also told my mom about it because I was so freaked out about what I had just learned, and she said that she remembered your family and like, your family used to do some activities that my older siblings did....

Oh boy, this is all so crazy! 

*takes a deep breath*

AAAhh.

Oh my gosh yes I know them!!! I used to take swim lessons with Ann and Sarah back when as I was homeschooled, as well as violin lessons. That's so crazy!! That's so crazy, oh my gosh what if I knew your siblings ahhhh

Hey, Joss! I don't ever really remember talking to you much, but I do remember your name. It's so great to see everyone! To answer your question: at least half of the CBers who are in high school now got into Dungeons and Dragons, lol. I told my dad and he said "it's the natural progression of things," and I have to agree. XD

I'm a sophomore in high school too! Are you homeschooled, or do you got to a public school? (Or private school?)

Hey Cho Chang!! I go to a private school. It's super small, so that comes with some ups and downs, but it's pretty good for a high school. Are you homeschooled? I don't know that much about Dungeons and Dragons, but I know I'm a neutral good, so that's pretty boring. Are you into the game too? Do you know what alignment you are XD?

Yup, I'm homeschooled, but I'll probably take some classes at the high school here next year. (If that isn't daunting, I don't know what is, lol.)

I'm in to the game. A lot. I'm playing three games, and may start a fourth. I'm definitely a Lawful Good. As are half of my characters. Trust me, we are waayyy more boring than Neutral Good. Lawful means I'm going to do that right, proper thing, esp. in the eyes of the law. Every. Single. Time. XP

My character is the one who stands outside of the bar/tavern, waiting for all the rest of the party to not get themselves killed. XD I dunno how we even function, lol.

Hey! I dunno if you remember me but your name sounds familiar and I think I remember you? Even if we just met for a bit. Glad life's been good for you! Haha, I have my permit too and I was actually supposed to get my license in January...but long story short it's going to be a while before I'm allowed to drive again. Are you excited to drive? Drivings so exciting! I mean, it can be a bit scary but once you get to know the roads it'll get more fun and easier. 

Noon says enuf. enough? Oh, am I rambling again? Oops.

Hi!! Pretty sure I don't know you, because 1. I don't remember your name and 2. I wasn't here when you were, but great to meet you!!

Ahhh so cool you can drive! Is it weird? Like... omigosh your DRIVING! Like, when you were younger, you always had to ask people to drive you or take you places, and now... you can go yourself!! Or soon, anyway. But still!
