It's my CBversary.
It's my CBversary.
Hey guys! Today (October 4th) was my 3rd CBversary!
I guess I could make a long speech here, but to be completely honest I don't always enjoy reading them myself, and I'm very tired at the moment.
So... Q+A!! I figure instead of writing something long no one wants to read you guys can just as me what you want to know.
Something I will say though is that I've definitely changed since 2017. Back then, I never imagined I would ever leave or forget about the CB. I thought I'd always be a creeper who was active well into adulthood.
I'm sure I will never forget about you guys or the CB, but as I grow up and become busier I find the CB becomes less and less a big part of my life. Despite this, I've appreciated, admired, and been constantly blown away by you guys in the past three years and I still love you all!
My advice to younger CBers is to leave room for your older self. Don't limit yourself to what you think or feel or believe now, because your ideas might change. Embrace what you know now and be excited for what you'll learn later. You guys are awesome! :)
So yeah, Q+A! Ask away!

Happy CBversary!!! I don't know if you're leaving or not, but either way it's nice to see you!

Happy CBversary, Jwyn! Wow, I can't believe it's been 3 years. I am so glad to have known you during my time on CB. I love your enthusiasm and caring personality...you are amazing! :) My question for you is, do you have any plans for the future? Like, career ideas or dream jobs?
(October 5, 2020 - 2:32 pm)
Aww, Mice! *hugs* Thank you!! :):):)
For career plans I actually have no idea. I'm interested in going to school for some kind of graphic design or video production or business or... I don't even know. There are a lot of things I enjoy doing, but not much in the way of career plans. I'll know when I'm ready, I guess. I have been selling some of my little crafts and things from time to time, but not enough for significant income obviously.

Happy CBversary Jwyn!!! *throws confetti* *hugs* I hope it's been a great three years and that you stick around, even if it's just for a while. What would you say is your favorite thing about the CB? Also (generic question, but I'm curious), what's your favorite ice cream flavor (if you like ice cream)?

Thank you Quill!! *hugs* It's been great, and I hope so too. :D
My favorite thing about the CB is undeniably the wacky, enthusiastic, and creative atmosphere. I live for all the beautiful art and poetry, the inventive and original games and writing, and the inside jokes. Basically the overall aura of intelligent playfulness.
This one's always a toughy. I like most flavors of ice cream, but I don't really have a definite favorite. I love any combinations of black raspberry, chocolate, caramel, peanut butter, mint, etc., but I certainly have nothing against just plain vanilla. I would say with anything dessert-related I enjoy natural flavors more than artificial ones.

I forgot about the questions...
What's your favorite genre to read/write? aand
If you could have one superpower, what would it be? (no "all the powers", obviously)
Thanks!

I think the rare times I find a good mystery novel I immensely enjoy it. My library receipts would definitely say fantasy, however, as it makes up at least 75% of what I read. It's also my favorite to write. If anyone has any mystery recommendations though... I would greatly appreciate them! :)
I think it would be really cool to be able to know what other people need (if that makes any sense). Not like, creepily know their life story, but just know if they need a hug or a friend or some chocolate or something. That would be awesome. Most other powers I could think of would be neat but might lead to some awful consequences or draw too much attention to me.
Great questions!!

HAPPY CBVERSARY! *throws confetti everywhere* You're always a nice face to see on the CB, even if I don't know you too well. So, my question is... Do you have any irrational fears?
(October 5, 2020 - 5:48 pm)
Thank you!! It's nice to see you around too. :)
Hmm... all the time, probably? (I sound so unsure lol xD)
I don't know. Sometimes I randomly think some asteroid will fall from the sky and hit me or something silly like that. Also sometimes I make up random superstitions to make my life more interesting, but not really in a serious way. If I do, they come and go and are there simply because I let my imagination into a bounce house (aaah I made a cool metaphor/idiom-thingy! So proud of myself ^^)

Happy CBversary, Jwyn! Would you like some of my Welcome Back chocolate? I know you didn't technically leave, but it's all I have for a present. Maybe I should rename it.
My question for you is: How did you think up your names? Jwyn in particular is such a wonderful name, and Indigo Feather is pretty great too. Was there a burst of inspiration, or did you spend hours thinking, or was it a typo, or was it something else, or do you really think I ought to stop giving you options when you already know exactly what to say?
