Sooooo.... Hi.

Sooooo.... Hi.
Sooooo.... Hi.
I used to be balletandbow.
I bet some of you knew me, and I loved you guys so much!!! The last year of my life has been insane, and sadly, that's kept me away from here.
But no longer.
As y'all probably noticed, I did not post this as balletandbow. Let me explain. Not to be overdramatic, but I am not the same person I was when I came to the CB for the first time. It's been over two years, and a lot has happened. Most recently, by BFF realized that she's been suffering from High-Functioning Depression since 8th grade. Also, my brothers, who have been homeschooled their whole lives along with me, have entered the public school system completely.
While I myself have not had too much of a change, the people around me have, and that has influenced me.
It's not all bad though! My friend is getting help from her parents and others, and my brothers are having a blast in elementary school! I'm taking four classes at our local high school, and got into the varsity show choir as just a tiny, scared freshman!
This school year started out for me with a lot of change, and a lot of stress. But the last month, I finally found my groove. I've found new musicals, new fandoms, new friends, and new opportunities at every turn.
And now, it's almost Thanksgiving break. And I'll be going to my grandparents' house. Which means a LOT of school-free time.
So here I am.

*Gasp*
*Gasp*
*Gasp*
BALLETANDBOW! OR ORANGEANDTEALMERMAID!!!!! *Tackle hugs and starts crying* I'm so glad you're back. I missed you--and your Æs--so much. *Sniffs*
You just made the rest of my day. Welcome back! *Gets teary-eyed again*
BABTMP! PSXtreme! Torstyn! Welcome back!!!

Oh.My.Goodness. Welcome back! It is so awesome to meet you, as I haven't met you before but I've heard awesome things about you from the CBers. I cant wait to get to know you!
(November 15, 2017 - 3:29 pm)
Waaah! I'm so happy to see you! You have no idea how often you turned up on "Missing CBer" threads!
Of course, your new name means we need to think of a new nickname for you. OATM? Mermaid? Orange? Teal? They're all pretty good names, I think.
Oh! I have a new AE! Meet Cú Chulainn, everyone's favorite hurley player.
Hello!
We have a lot of new people, of course, and with that comes even more new AEs! But I'll leave the updates for the people themselves. I'm just happy to see you back!

You're Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm Satin, but I used to post under Emma T .You might remember me.
You are a amazing person and everyone missed you so much. There are so many new CBers who have joined since you left, who you will meet soon.
I'm really glad you're back.

Yay! Welcome back! I've missed you, as have all the other CBers who know you. I'm glad that things are going well for you and your brothers, and it's great that your friend is getting the help and support she needs. I'm so glad you're back!

Hey, there, OrangeAndTealMermaid! Welcome home! Oooh, I've just started reading the Shadowhunters! I'm in the middle of City of Glass right now. I love your location! That's one of my favorite books to read outloud to kids. Anyway, I'm glad you're back!
(November 15, 2017 - 10:01 pm)
Awwww... Thanks guys. I’m reeeeeeally glad to be back here!
@Myles, Hi! I can’t wait to get to know you!!
@Leafpool, HIIIIII!!!! You’ve always been one of the first people to welcome me back from my assorted hiatuses, and that means so much to me!
@LilyPad, Hello! I’ve been gone for a quite a while, and I always love meeting new CBers!
@St, Oh gosh, you’re making me tear up too! I can’t wait to dive right back in and meet Cú and barrage everyone with the old AE antics! (Also, I’m pretty sure any and all nicknames are pretty recognizable!)
@Satin, I do remember you!! You were always so excited about all our wonderful insanity and inspiration!!!
@Dragonrider, Thanks so much!!!! It’s been a crazy fall for me, and it’s wonderful to be back here!
@Cocklebur, Oh hon, hold on to your seat. It’s about to get craaaazzzyyy.

Welcome back balletandbow--now OrangeAndTealMermaid (do you mind if I call you Mer?)!
You doubtless remember me as an eleven-year-old brat, and, uhh...yeah, sorry about that. Anyways, I just wanted to welcome you back, your disappearance was noticed by one and all!
I also wanted to do a quick doodle on my drawing tablet inspired by your name...sort of a picturing of your mermaid tail? It looks a little, well, uhh...y'know, but that's mainly because of the transition from teal to orange. I swear the colors on the tail are coincidental, and I never meant for them to look like that. I hope you like it, and many cheerful welcomes back!
(November 15, 2017 - 11:15 pm)
AHHH! Welcome back!! Remember me? We've missed you very much. It's so good to have you back. :)
(November 16, 2017 - 10:07 pm)
@OrangeAndTealMermaid--I don't remember, were you here when Cho left? Also, Indigo left, Somebody left, Shadow Dragon left, Clouded Leopard technically left but she's still hanging around....I feel like I'm missing people. I haven't seen Owlgirl for a long time, or Booksy Owly for that matter.
Also, I know your Æs pretty well but for the life of me, I couldn't remember which ones speak in which fonts....Would you mind giving me a refresher?
(November 17, 2017 - 1:01 pm)
Hey there! I'm Vyolette (pronounced as Vee-o-LET), and I'm one of the new-er CBers! I love Rick Riordan, too! ( Not the person, his books!XD) Ummmm, I just recently got AE's myself, so I guess I can introduce them:
Hiya! I'm Cassia, but you can call me Cass, Vyolette's very Mary Sue AE! Are your AE's guys or girls? Not that I care! Forget I said anything! *Runs out of room blushing like crazy*
I am Blaiyre (it rhymes with glare), Vyolette's other female AE. So....yeah.
And I am Trevor! Nice to meet you, BABTMP, PSXtreme and Tortstyn! Welcome back! You all have such...unique names. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very embarrasing and humbling AE Ball to attend...*Also walks out of room*
Agatha said her third word! Cazu! (I think thats how you spell it...)

Hello! I don't know you, but at first I couldn't remember if I did. Your memory has been well kept.
I'm Viola?, the hopefully semi-mysterious and eccentric girl of the pen. I mostly draw and read, fangirling over books and webcomics alike, with a preference for fiction of nearly all sorts. I'm also somewhat more obsessed with YouTube than I'd like to admit. Most people know me as the artsy girl who likes cats. I have only one AE, Nymph. (Nymph, say hi!)
Who is this? An old person come back?
Yes. Be nice.
I know, I know. Hey, don't ship me with any of her AEs.
I don't know them well enough.
Good.
I made a thing for you, partly inspired by Icy's drawing. Hope you like it!
