My 1st CBversary!!

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

My 1st CBversary!!

My 1st CBversary!!
Wow. Has it really already been a year?
One year ago today, I got my February issue of Cricket and thought that the little website at the bottom of the letterbox looked interesting. Little did I know, I had just found my favorite community that would boost my imagination, make me meet amazing people, and even make me participate in NaNoWriMo. 
I was so excited when I posted my first thread and saw so many people commenting and saying welcome, and when I made a random comment on a random thread and people actually replied to it. I’m surprised, because I was pretty cringey then. 
But now, a year later, I hope I’m slightly less cringey. I’m a year older, a year more experienced, and one year a CBer. 
I want to do a special thank-you list, but literally every single CBer would be on it, so I’ll just say:
Thank you all. You are all amazing. It’s been an amazing year, and hopefully there will be many more CBversaries to come.
And of course, thank you to the admins, for dealing with me this whole year :)
Alright, it’s party time :D *cake* *confetti* *environmentally friendly fireworks*

AHHH MARY! :D CONGRATULATIONS!

Have some iceplesauce, which (I think) you named.

It has been so much fun getting to know you and talking to you, whether through working on MWW with me, you becoming the first victim of the cooliosis virus, or any other miscelaneous chatting on the CB. You are such a wonderful person who I find hIlArIoUs. :D

*accepts iceplsauce* yes, I did indeed name it. I also tried it the other day and it was pretty good. I've also started to say cooliosis all the time irl, so my case of the cooliosis virus is very bad.

AnYwHo, I am so glad that I've gotten to know you on the CB and YWP. MWW has been so much fun, and all of your randomness always makes me smile. You da best :)

Happy CBversary, Mary!  I'm so glad you came here and that our times on here happened to coincide!  Your writing is wonderful and I always enjoy reading you posts on the Dragon Riders' RP.  I hope you stay around for many more years!

WHAAAT? Wow, Mary! Congratulations on a year :D And happy CBversary of course. I'm so glad I've gotten to "know" you for the past 9+ months. From planning AtV to participating in MWW to alter-ego parties (I'm sorry, I know I've left you hanging on several occasions and I apologize. If you want to bring your AEs onto dreamii's Alter Ego thread, I'm planning on being actually active on that.), you've always been awesome and your posts have always made me smile. Thank you! <3 *hands cake and throws evironmentally friendly biodegradable confetti*

I reread that just now and the way I wrote "know" sounded a little creepy. Sorry XD I'm pretty sure I meant to write "I'm so glad I got to "meet" and get to know you during the past 9+ months."

Ahhhhhh HAPPY CBVERSARY MARY :DDD 

*environmentally friendly fireworks* *gives you cupcake* *gives you a guinea pig* *gives you another guinea pig so first guinea pig isn't depressed*

And you are definitely not cringey ;) I still cannot believe you joined only a week or two before me! You always seemed soo much older and wiser XD 

I'm so glad I came here and got to know you! :D
