Hey guys....
Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Hey guys....
Hey guys....
Do you ever get that feeling where you loose dedication for something entirely? Because you are old, confused, angry, or even just done.
Well....I hate to say this, but at the same time I don't, but I now feel that way about the Chatterbox.
I came home from a week long camp, my last one of the summer, and got on the CB to find my roleplays dead, and that I had no idea what was happening. On CaC I didn't recognize a single thread, and it had only been a week! Everything had already died out! It was too fast, to think I couldn't go for a little while without coming back to a new website is scary. I may be exaggerating a little, but not by much.
I got back from my camp two weeks ago, just about. No not two silly, one. Sorry, heh. But when I can home I realized something was different. I didn't check Cricket right when I got back. When I finally did check that website, I felt no urge to post. Or read. Or top the roleplays that I love and have been working so hard on for over a year.....Yeah EVIL'S REVENGE, that's you.
Thing is even before camp, remember my temporary retirement thread? I made that because these sections, CaC DtE, PP....they just didn't appeal. In fact, they were scary. Everybody was fighting and leaving or fighting for peace. Yeah....let's be honest here, fighting, for peace. Kinda funny.
I moved to Inkwell. But now my roleplay is gone....I love you guys....but there are so many new people I don't know because I dont check this section and see introduction threads. It's so confusing!!!!
I won't be out of contact forever. My Camp Nano username is KwertyKittyKeys. I am friends with some of you. Yeah.....
Thing is, before I'd posted this thread....I've already left. I left about two-three weeks ago. But I felt obliged to say goodbye, and let you know I'm leaving. Also, apparently why I'm leaving.
I'm trying to get my life straight. I'm going into high school, which is where you build lifelong habits. I'm just too old I feel now. I'm tired of the Cb, honestly. I'm just done with this mess.
Yeah, I am tired. No, I'm not making this decision because I'm tired and depressed. I spent A WEEK thinking about this. I almost didn't write this too, okay?
Sorry. I sound like a jerk now, XD. I guess I kinda am right now. I got to the point though....and didn't give a mushy leaving thread.
So yeah.
That's it guys.
I'll stay to read your comments....and maybe reply.
But I'm done.
I. Am. Leaving.
Just in case you can't believe it.
Oh my Gandalf I am a huge jerk right now. Sorry. But I'm not coming back.
KitKat: Katy....stopo being so harsh about it....
Grasshopper: Even I'M not that mean.
Oh, and because I made two really bad AES, they are here to say bye.
KitKat: WELL THANKS! What is wrong with YOOUU! Anyway, ugh, now I'm irritated. I've never made much for friends, just murdered people, but bye. It was fun....I guess.
Grasshopper: I-I'm sorry..... I just happen to be that small part of Katy that wants to try and stay and see if things get better....buutt.....Even I have to agree....going is the best choice. Like she said, we had already left, but you can be thankful we are saying goodbye. And Katy isn't really angry at y'all. She's just being a pigheaded jerk whose feelings are coming out as evil and heartless through her words. In fact, she's smiling right now.
Shut up. I'm not happy to leave.
Grasshopper: That's what this whole thing is about. You are happy to leave. You are happy to ditch this place.
Say your goodbyes and be done!!! Liar!
Grasshopper: Hmmph. Fine then. Well....bye then, I guess. Puck....you are/were my best prank buddy in the whole world...but I have to go now...into the fire. Katy will have no use for us in the real world. But....I.....even more then a friend...
KitKat: He loves ya, okay? Here's the ring he wanted to propose with.
You wanted to propose?
Grasshopper: I'm in your head and you didn't realize?
No.....I'm a jerk....now I feel bad.
Grasshopper: You should. Also, KitKat, that is a prank ring.
KitKat: *As she is putting it on* Liar....*screeches* AHHHHHHH! JERKK!! MONGREL!!! MUTT!
Grasshopper: *giggles* Anyway, this ring is for you, Puck. You can keep it in memory of me....because I do love you....I'm sorry we have to leave.
Awww, so sweet. Can we go now?
Yeah.
I'm a jerk.
Sorry Grasshopper and KitKat.
I'm not even that grumpy.
So bye.
We all love you guys.
Some more then others, ;)
Bye lil' fam.
Bye, Katydid, and best wishes for the future. Please check back sometime and let us know how you're doing. Maybe on the February 14 in whatever year other old timers have set. Is it 2019? Or ??

I've lost dedication to a website before!
I used to have tons of friends on another site. I was the leader of a club, I participated in wars--
Until I discovered the Chatterbox. I found that I loved writing more than coding.
One day, I realized that I loved this website more than the other one.
The end!

Admin, what's wrong with the site I mentioned?
I'm not familiar with the site and I don't have time to check it out.

Admin, this magazine family published letters in the Muse Letterbox mentioning the site.
Cricket is a different magazine with different rules.

Oh my. This is going to make me cry.
Make sure to keep in touch. February 14, 2019, remember? *blinks back tears* Goodbye, Katydid.

I'll really miss you. I do kind of agree... the CB used to be different.
I'm thinking of leaving after my True Names story wraps up, which should be in six weeks or so.
Best Wishes,
Brookeira

Oh, Katy...
(July 17, 2016 - 12:52 pm)
Your'e not a jerk!!! Trust me- I wouldn't admire you and be internally crying right now if you were a jerk. I'll miss you. Yours was the first thread I had ever commented on, and you are such a wonderful person. I know what your'e talking about, with the "being gone for 5 sec and everything's different on the CB". Happened to me last week. Don't forget that we'll be here. Please come again, even if it's in a new alias. I'm resisting the urge to scream "NO DON'T GO" at the top of my virutual lungs, so I'm going to end this. Wait, what's your'e nano username? I'll be 13 soon, so I'm gonna join. I'll miss you, Katy. Okay, can't type. Gonna physically cry.
(July 17, 2016 - 2:24 pm)
Goodbye, Katy. Nice having you. We'll miss you, so please check on every once and a while. *gives you farewell kitten* Bye.

Oh, Katy, Katy, there's something very important I forgot about. Since you're leaving, I have some questions about a RP you're in, a RP that's technically dead, but not really dead, because it won't stay dead.
The Magic RP. The one by Hermione G? Well, I know this might sound silly and of low priority, but this RP means a lot to me, more than any RP ever has. I don't know why.
But I am going to start it up again. It WILL get finished. I'm really busy right now, however, so I can't do it just yet. I might have to wait a week. Or two weeks. Or a month. Or months. Heck, maybe I won't even get to it until next summer! But I WILL get to it. I am determined to finish the story, whether I am helped by five others in the RP or just one. It really means a lot to me.
I was thinking about this when I suddenly remembered you had a charrie in it, and a pretty important one too.
Rain.
(Who, just to remind you, felt guilty about the whole Malthiena attack and also lost her voice and ran away with Magma, who lost her memory.)
So...I have a few questions:
We'll still keep her in the story of course...I mean, unless you're strongly opposed to that, and you want her killed off or something.
Do you want her included in the story, but not with a perspective?
Or do you want someone to take her for you? If so, would you be okay with me doing it? If so, I promise to take care of her. (Wow, I'm sorry if that sounds pathetic...) and not to manipulate Rain just for the sake of a plot. (Becuase I did that once or twice with Aqua, and I plan not to again.) I'll let her live and breathe...do things that Rain the character would do, instead of just what the writer wants. I've started trying to do that with my serious writing...not just letting the charries become puppets. (Although in most RPs, I just go with it, because that's the fun of them...you don't know where it'll take you. This RP has been different for me.) Though once again, if you don't want anyone else using your charrie, that's perfectly understandable.
Please let me know your answer to my questions. And any objections, any comments, any extra notes, something you might've had planned, anything...feel free to let me know.
I'm sorry if this sounds weird or sappy or anything...and I have no time to preview, so let's hope I don't sound crazy.

Oh my.....
l can't even.....
Katydid, you are awesome, but......why? Things will always get better in the end.
But it isn't my choice to make, l respect your choice. And.....we'll miss you. l'll miss you.You are and will always be one of my dearest Chatterbox friends.
So this is good-bye, is it? This is the end? With a fluttering of words?
Good bye, Katydid. l wish the best for you in all things.
*Curls up in a corner and cries*

OHMYGANDALF I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SHADOW D: I have to go, but I'll write more later.
(July 17, 2016 - 10:39 pm)
You are not and never were a jerk!
I don't know you well, but I've always liked you, Katydid. I understand that you want to go, and that we can't stop you. If you need to leave, you should leave. There's no use forcing yourself upon other people when you don't want to. We will always miss you and all the other CBers that have left!
(July 18, 2016 - 8:45 am)
Oh my goodness... Oh my goodness.... Katydid.
Just earlier today, I wondered where you were. And now you're leaving so I don't need to worry anymore.... All I can say is, thank you for dropping by to tell us what happened. Thanks for dropping by to give us a last hope. Thank you, Katydid.
Now bye before I start crying and blow a circuit in my tablet.
(July 17, 2016 - 11:04 pm)
*Sighs* I'm practically crying now. I never knew you very well, Katy, but you seemed like an amazing person. I respect your decision to leave, just please do keep on checking up on us. I understand the feeling of losing dedication to an activity. That is why I left CB in the first place back some years ago. That is why I came *this* close to leaving just recently. It was all so different. Again, we respect you for your decision, and we will surely miss you.
Farewell, Katy, and I hope to see you again!
(July 18, 2016 - 1:01 am)
Well, glad that Icy gave me this idea...
(ties Katydid to a chair, freezes her there)
(pauses)
(sighs, unfreezes, cuts ropes)
Katy, I get it. You have a choice.
I really liked you, Katy. I felt you were one of my better friends here.
Love you.
