Really! There was a door between the rooms!

Let’s move on from those memories and move on too...

OUR LMWAY!

(Last Month We Asked You)

Last Month We Asked You: What do you think happens behind the scenes at Floof?

Here are your wonderful answers!

Sybill said: I'm imagining stacks of papers being set on fire and total pandemonium as Ella quietly types at a computer while sipping tea from a fancy cup.

Luna-Starr said:  Hmm... I kind of imagine Ella slouching at a computer, with the artificial light glowing on her in a kind of unhealthy way, typing tiredly while Zeke, Andrea and Sammy Witch cause pandemonium in her imagination.

Summer said: I kind of imagine you all on the roof of a skyscraper at night with Andrea, Zeke, and Sammy tearing around and Ella trying to calm them down.

Nyx said:  always kind of imagine my house, with Ella sitting on the couch typing, while her AEs are elsewhere causing havoc like my siblings do.

Cerinthe said: Hmm. Basically the AEs running around with a bunch of important-looking papers shouting at each other and Ella on the couch with a laptop shaking her head and wondering why the heck she is living this life, but secretly enjoying it.

All of those were pretty accurate.

Yeah. Are they watching us?

...You know what? Let’s do these jokes.

yeah...

JANUARY JOKES!

What do you call snow that’s not real?

Snow-fake!

 

Why did the snowman cross the road?

Because white not?

 

When storing fat for the winter, it’s best to Alp yourself to whatever you can find.

 

Have you ever seen a snowman insult a snowman? You haven’t, because they’re smart. Whatever they call the other man, they know that it applies to them too, because it takes one to snow one!

 

I was going to make a snowman, but I stayed inside in-sled.

 

What’s a snowman’s favorite weapon?

Sled-gehammer!

 

~Deep thoughts with Ella Starburst~

Why is it called Chili if it’s hot?

Get it? ‘Cause Chili is Chilly so this is technically a winter...joke…

Just go, Ella.

Ok...

 

 

 

HAHA! Never gets old!

Easy for you to say. Anyway, let’s get on with the Advice. *gasp* the ADVICE! 

Right you are buddy! This month’s advice is all about...

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE NEW YEAR!

here's a tip for keeping New Year's Resolutions which I have found helpful: If you have glasses which you wear every day, and you keep them in a case, write down your resolution(s) and put them in the glasses case. It is VERY helpful.

If you do not have glasses, find a place where you're sure to look every day. Like on your bedroom door maybe?

Also, Think About: What is your goal to improve yourself in 2020?

(Submitted by cerinthe)

Watch a movie you've never seen before with family/friends, and have a special dinner that you don't usually have! My family does this every year on New Year's Eve.

(Submitted by Nyx)

 Take a breath and set yourself up for... kind of looking up, and trying to keep going through hardship. :)

(Submitted By Luna-Starr)

When making your resolutions, don’t feel pressured to do something extreme! Focus on the realism, not the size, of the resolution.  

 

Don’t be pressured to do something amazingly astoundly awesome the first day! Take life as it is, and remember: the small moments are the most memorable!

 

And finally, remember that “New Year, New Me” is completely meaningless because time is just a concept. Instead of trying to completely recreate yourself, focus on small goals that can help you, like learning to type or getting in exercise! 

*click* noice.

...,What?

Oh gosh, they’re at it again. Oh, well, let’s just continue with

LOCATION OF THE MONTH!

Third Place: Toasting Marshmallows

Why: Although this does give a nice feeling, we don’t really know how it relates to January. We’d love those marshmallows when you’re done though! Why can I smell them...

Second Place: Shivering in a Snowglobe

Why: We would have chose this one, but Zeke screams a lot and is sensitive to cold. Great job though!

I DO NOT! 

In first place, we have…

STARTING ANEW!

Why: Despite our disbelief in the whole “New Year, New Me,” thing, we do want to “start anew”. We have been looking at our mistakes this year and really, truly want to do better this year. Great job on the awesome location!

Nice job everyone! Any finally, let’s finish this o-ANDREA ZEKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!

TASTE MY FLAMETHROWER, BRA-oh hey Ella.

...

CBer AWARDS!

(Awarded by Luna-Starr)

Most in the giving spirit of Christmas: Nyx!

Why: I love getting on and seeing your Christmas Gift thread. It's so awesome and kind of you to offer this cool gift to all of us! Great job at being in the Christmas spirit (even though Christmas is over)! 

 

Most unique/intriguing new poll: Kitten! 

Why: Kitten, you always have the most unique/creative ideas, and I just thought that your poll is so unique that I wanted to include it. Thank you for bringing such creative thoughts and ideas to the CB! 

 

Best CBer Return: Porcelain! 

Why: Porcelain! I've noticed your slight absence. It's great to see you back. You also make a good point; you guys, it's been so boring around here lately! Let's see some more action from now on!

(awarded by cerinthe)

Award of Upliftingness: Hope the Dove!

Why: Your messages of positivity are widely appreciated by all of the CB! Thank you for your never-ending and contagious joy!

 

 

And that’s all for the first MCU of the new year - and decade!

Make sure to comment content for next month! Here’s what we’ll accept:

February jokes 

Location of the Month

What’s a good way to approach someone you like?

LMWAY (How should we celebrate our anniversary? Whether dumb things employees do or posts we should make, let us know!)

CBer awards!

Than you GREATLY for reading our MCU and continuing to support us!

This new year, are there any things YOU would like us to do?

Although we can’t do everything, please know that we are always open to suggestions!

Although 2019 will be hard to top, we think this will be our best year yet!

I can definitely see that happening *snnrk* with my…

Dooonn’ttt….

2020 VISION!
THAT’S IT, I’M BURNING YOUR PLUSHIES!
NO YOU WON’T STONEWALL!

Well, they’re at it again. The most recent year has been a really good one for me, though. I started Floof, created new personalities, furthered my career as an author, actress, AND singer, and made tons of new friends along the way! I hope that your year was just as good, if not better than mine. If not? Well, maybe this one will be better! As Evan Hansen’s mom once sang, “Maybe this year, we decide / we’re not giving up before we’ve tried!” So remember: You are loved and important by so many people and God, and nothing will ever change that.

Buh-bye for now,

Floof Industries

Hmm, how to approach someone you like... if you just kinda want to have fun and be in the same place as your crush, I would suggest casually joining a conversation that they're in with a number of people who also know who you are... if you want to have like a more serious conversation with them I honestly can't help you there.

The anniversary? Like, of Floof becoming Floof? I might suggest posting a fun game-type thraed to celebrate and also throw pies/post riddles/share memories/whatever else you would like.
