...It's my CBversary.
...It's my CBversary...
I cannot believe I'm making this thread right now. It's so hard to believe that one year ago today, I made a post under "Lucy G." asking what an RP was.
But yes, I have been here for one whole year.

I owe a lot to the CB and its CBers. I wouldn't be who I am today without you lizards. I owe not driving myself crazy to the CB and its CBers- you all gave me social interaction and also, made me realize that I love writing stories and I love writing poetry.
You made me brave enough to step up and share a poem in front of my entire class, and that's how I found out two of my best friends in the world are poets, too.
You gave me NaNoWriMo and NaPoWriMo and all the pep talks in the world, and you made me feel like a good person. You're a large part of what inspires me to be a good person, every day.
I've completely goofed off on here and it's been fine. You've seen me at my cringiest and not judged. I've made some of the best friends I've ever had on here.
You all are awesome and I love you so, so much.
I'm not going to do shoutouts on this, because a) I don't have the time to tell everyone individually how much they mean to me, and b) I don't want to make anyone feel bad by leaving them out.
So just know this: If my heart was a night sky, each of you is a star in it, and each of you means something to me no one else ever could. You're all beautiful people and I love you so much. I'll always give you free advice and positivitea, just because you're you, and you're awesome.
You all have picked me up when I've needed it, and so I'll pick you up if you need it, too. Thank you so much for being here when I needed it and I hope I'll be here when you need me, too.
To the admins: you've seen some of the nastier aspects of me, and I'm so thankful to you that you didn't post those things I didn't mean and I'm so thankful that you haven't judged me. (I hope). Thank you for keeping us safe, and making us follow cyber security when we'd rather not. Thank you for reading through all our comments, every day, and making this community happen. Admins, we love you and we're grateful for you and I hope you know that <3
To the CBers, once again: Thank you for keeping me from going crazy this past year, thank you for helping me be brave enough to share my work, and thank you for always always always being there for me when I needed it. I know I've said this a lot of times already, but I love you lizards so much. Thank you for making this a place where I'm comfortable just writing down everything I've been feeling during the pandemic and sharing it and thank you for making me feel better when I needed it. *hugs everyone and doesn't let go*
Also: everyone who comments on this thread will get a reply saying why I love you and why I'm glad you're a part of the Chatterbox.
*confetti and glitter*
Oh, and of course, thank you for introducing me to the wonders of asterisks, and XDs and :Ds and :)s and <3s and ;)s and pretty much every other emoticon in existence. I love you all <3
Lastly: an apology. For all the threads I haven't made time to post on, for all the commitments I didn't keep, for all the things I let die, and for all the advice and pep talks I didn't give. For all the people I didn't help feel seen and for all the people I didn't send love to when they needed it. I'm so, so, sorry and I'm going to try to do better, this next year on the CB. You've made it through One Year of Lumi, and hopefully, I'll put you through many, many more <33

Morning! First of all, I really would love some goat cheese from Abcde's cow. (I am not sure if that was a typo or not but I'll just roll with it, because I feel like when it comes to anything Abcde that's the best course of action.)
Second of all, thank you so much. That means... so much, coming from you. You're actually the one who inspires me every time I write a pep talk or give advice, because you're the one who gave me a pep talk first, last July. You made me feel good about my writing, and that really, really means a lot to me and I'm never going to forget it. You created lizards, and I use it so much, even in my own head (Once I used it in a group chat XD). Your welcome chocolate is delicious and unforgettable, and speaking of unforgettable things, ABCDE. Abcde, child psychologist, makes me laugh every time she says anything, and I appreciate it very much. Even my mom knows who she is.
Also, you're an amazing writer and an amazing person- you've given me a pep talk and made me feel better about myself, in general, and made me love myself a little more. You're someone I look up to and probably always well. I love you very much and I'm very glad I can call you my CBF <3

aww, Lumi!! Happy CBversary!!! I'm really glad you're a part of the Chatterbox. you're so kind and your posts make me smile. :)

Tealeaf! Thank you so much <33 I don't know you that well yet, but your name and location are one of my favorites. You're also such a sweet person, and you have great taste in music (I love Regina Spektor too, and I will post on that thread as soon as I finish responding to everyone who posted on this thread). The color scheme art contest you created was a great revival, and your posts always make me smile, too. I'm so glad you're a part of the CB!

oh, and I forgot to mention this *facepalm*
you're also an amazing poet!
(April 29, 2021 - 5:20 pm)
I just want to say that your comment made my day <333
and oh my gosh, really? I've never thought of myself as a good poet! thanks so much :) :) :)

Ahhh happy CBversary! You're such an awesome part of the CB and I'm so glad I met you! That was such a sweet, amazing message. Here's some virtual cake! *passes cake through the CB* I hope you enjoy your CBversary <3
(And yeah, emoticons are great)
(April 27, 2021 - 6:20 pm)
BEEEEEE! Thank you so muchhhhh! I did enjoy my CBversary, thank you. *accepts cake* The first real conversation I had with you was about your writing, I think, and I started it by saying "Hey, Honey!" and then deciding my new nickname for you would not, in fact, be Honey, but Bee.
I believe I still call you Honey sometimes but whatever XD anyways, you're an amazing writer! Giselle is a work of genius, and the hair dye (I almost wrote nail polish, that's weird) incident which we do not speak of made me laugh so hard and it will be ingrained in my memory forever. (And I'll never be able to think of purple hair dye without smiling.) All your AEs are wonderful, honestly. And you're just so kind too, I'm so glad I've met you and made friends with you! Love you <3

Aww, happy CBversary!!! This was such a sweet post, Lumi <33 I've loved getting to chat with you on here and NaNo so much. You're such an amazing and kind person! I actually had one of my first "conversations" on the CB with you, and I remember being so amazed that I was chatting with someone I probably wouldn't have ever met in real life. Thank you so much for all the pep talks and positivitea that you've given to CBers in need! The CB definitely wouldn't be the same without you!!

peppermint! thank you so much! I'm so glad you're a part of the CB. You're an amazing writer, and I'm proud of you for getting 75% of your word goal this April! (haha, no, I've definitely not been spying on people's novels in the old CB classroom). the synopsis is so cool, by the way. Also, you're just such a nice person <3 Thank you for giving me a pep talk when I was feeling so down on myself over quarantine. You're someone who I feel like will always be there for me, and I'm so glad to know you and want you to know that I'll always be there for you too. *hugs* thank you for being an amazing person!
(April 29, 2021 - 5:03 pm)
Thank you so much, Lumi!! *hugs* This really brightened my day! Great job hitting 75% percent on your word goal!! (also totally not spying XD)

THANK YOU
You're an amazing artist and an amazing writer, and you have amazing ideas! Remember AtV? I'm sad it didn't last, but I'm so glad I got to be a part of it, and I want you to know it was an amazing idea. *accepts the cake* Thank you so much for the cake, and I shall eat it happily. And happy early/late CBversary (I'm not sure which XD! I'm excited to keep hanging out with you and being friends <3

Elle, where do I even begin?
You've been an amazing friend and have taught me so much in the time I've known you. I constantly admire your endless ideas and bravery for sharing them without fear of being judged. You're unafraid to admit that you're a better person than you were, and you're such a good writer, artist, and pianist. Keep creating, always <3 You're one of the best friends I've met on here, and I'm so glad you're here and I know you. (I keep almost saying "I'm glad you exist" but that might be weird. Regardless, I am glad you exist, wether or not that's the best way to say it haha). Love you always! *hugs*
my captchas would like to meet someone named bob, right now (rnbob). any ideas...?
