Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
My CBversary!
My CBversary!
Today marks the one-year anniversary of my officially joining the Chatterbox. I'd been on for a while at that point, but July 11th was the day I posted Nymph's introductory thread and decided that my status as a CBer was confirmed. Looking back on it, I realized I'd kind of forgotten that I can get really scared of her. She's very powerful.
You know it!
I do.
So, happy CBversary to me! I know that you don't have to have an AE to be a CBer, but Nymph showed me that I was a part of this beautiful place and that I would be for a while, because she sure wasn't going anywhere soon.
She's very special to you, isn't she...
Yes, but don't worry, you are too! *hugs* I would still have so much bottled up if not for you. You know how much it is.
*returns hug* Thank you.
*smiles* You're welcome.
A year is a long time. I didn't quite realize it had come and gone. I've changed so much since I first visited, scared of the links at the top left of my screen but ready to engage and curious about all the new things that I could let wash over me. A few days ago I was a little bit bored, and I thought "I wonder what my friends are up to." And in that thought, my friends were you. I haven't thought of myself as having friends in a very long time, but I think we are friends, because not many people know me better than quite a lot of you. In fact, some of you might know me better than I know myself, because last week is a foggy alien world to me, but last month is clear as yesterday to you. My memory is weird. Let's have a party! *throws confetti*

Aww, happy CBversary, Viola?! I'm really glad you decided to brave those links on the top left of your screen, because the CB wouldn't be the same without you! :)

Wow, only a year? You’re one of the most well known CBers, so I sort of assumed it was more. As it’s you we’re celebrating, I may just draw a confetti angel in recognition of your awesomeness. And, in response to your sentimental paragraph... well I solemnly swear I am up to no good, and I’m glad you count us all as your friends. *about to yeet and then thinks better of it*

Yeah, I'm always surprised at how many people know me. I can't figure out why. Is it my name? My art? My constant ski lodge attendance? My presence on introduction, birthday, leaving and CBversary threads? Something else?
Whoo, confetti angels! *throws more confetti*
Hmm... What kind of no good? *leans in, smiling conspiratorially*

YES PARTY
Congrats, Viola?! It feels so good to be called a friend. I don't have many friends myself, and it feels fabulous to be called a friend by someone as awesome as you. ;)

Happy CBversary, Viola? You are an amazing friend and I'm so, so happy that you found the CB last year.
PS. Ha! You put Albuquerque on your list

Thank you!
*gasps* You know that song too?
(July 14, 2018 - 8:21 am)
Yeah, it's hilarious.

Congrats Viola? You’re a great part of this community, the CB wouldn’t be the same without you and your wonderful art. I hope you stay for a while, Sticky Note Queen.
(July 11, 2018 - 7:14 pm)
Thank you! May I say, I love seeing all your many names. Does it ever get hard to come up with them? Also, that's an incredible thing to hear, and don't mind if I do.
(July 12, 2018 - 6:08 pm)
Well, sometimes it’s hard, but most of the time they’re inspired by something related to the thread, or going on in my real life. As long as things keep happening, I think I’ll be fine!
(July 12, 2018 - 7:21 pm)
I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
