Hello! It's me.
Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Hello! It's me.
Hello! It's me.
At this point, there's probably a bunch of new CBers who have never even heard of a Luminescence, so I'll introduce myself.
Hi, I'm Lumi, resident poet, reader of fanfiction, and embodiment of the term 'socially awkward'. I use she/her pronouns, by the way.
Moving on! The real reason I'm making this post is that I think I owe y'all a bit of an explanation for pretty much dropping off the face of the earth when summer started.
first of all, I am sO sOrRy aHhHhh
I truly did not plan that. Summer got busy. AO3 invaded my brain. The Track series is really good. The libraries are actually a Thing we can Do now. Butterfly stroke is a form of torture. (no, not really, but it's truly exhausting.) Y'know, the usual :,)
Second of all, I'm afraid I'm probably going to be pretty nonexistent until the end of the summer. I'm going to a sleepaway camp which = no screens and no internet and then a roadtrip which again- few screens and terrible internet.
Thirdly, HI, friends! I'll be here until Sunday and I'll make an effort to actually check this thread and reply to any comments.
Love you so much <3

Lumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!! Hi!!!
Welcome back!!! I'm so glad that you're back, even if it's just for a short while! I kinda disappeared too for a couple of weeks due to life, and I was a lil' confused when you hadn't posted in a while.
I hope you have so much fun at sleepaway camp!!
I don't really have anything else to say right now....so for now I'll just say that I'm so happy to see (read?) you again!!
<3

Hi Lumi! It's totally fine that you disappeared-- life just gets in the way sometimes! I'm glad you're back, though! I hope you have a great time at sleepaway camp and on your roadtrip! We'll miss you!
(also, I agree that the butterfly stroke is terrible)

PEPPER YOU TURNED FOURTEEN WHAT THE--
you're so OLD
happy birthday though XD to my fellow californian- fire season's kicking off a bit early this year :( i hope there's nothing near you (...yet). and the drought sucks. honestly, climate change sucks-
on a happier note! I'm glad I'm back too, and I promise I'm not leaving yet, nor planning to anytime soon.
(July 16, 2021 - 6:24 pm)
Thank you!! I feel really old XD As for fires, my area has already had multiple close calls, so that's scary. Hopefully, there won't be any really big fires this year or ones in your area!

LAZER HEYYYYY
nice to read you too! glad you're still hanging around :)
(July 16, 2021 - 6:25 pm)
Thanks!

Aloha, Lumi! So glad to see you back! We missed having you around here to radiate positivity <3 I know summer can be a really busy time (I relate so much to swimming butterfly...) BUT I hope you have fun at camp!!! See you around :))
(July 15, 2021 - 9:38 pm)
MARY! OH! MY! GOSH! I haven't talked to you in so long ahhh, it's so good to read you <3
and hehe yes, i do try to radiate positivity.
on the subject of butterfly, have you ever been made to swim one armed butterfly? cause it honestly sucks a lot XD
also, did you see Torri Huske's 100m fly in the US Olympic trials? she set a record and she's only eighteen 0_0
read you round too, and thanks for popping by :)
(July 16, 2021 - 6:28 pm)
Yes. We do one armed butterfly. I do not enjoy it. Nor do I enjoy butterfly drills. I'm not great at it, yet somehow I still occasionally end up doing butterfly in the medley relay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was at camp during the Olympic trials so I didn't see it, but that is extremely impressive!! I could t even swim a 100m fly without drowning ._.

I MISSED YOU SO MUCH <33333

*giant hug*

DREAMIIII ADHLKHWEKLRJAKLJEWKLAJKALDSFJKLJ I MISSED YOU TOOOOO
I've been pretty good! life's been going pretty good actually, i can honestly say that i love swimming (...yes, including butterfly haha) and want to be on a team, and that I'm kinda weirdly psyched for having a school uniform next year XD
Something i've been planning on talking to you about- part of my family's roadtrip is Tahoe, in early August (ugh i should be more specific but i don't have dates). so. uh.
the chances of me seeing you AND recognizing you are Very Very Low, but remember that bracelet idea? if you have any ideas for color, I would definitely do that, to make our chances very very slightly higher XD
*hugs back* ahhh i missed this place so much.

LUMINESCENCE! HI!
I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND IT IS MUCH EASIER TO BE LOUD AND ANNOYING ON SOCIAL MEDIA/TEXT CHATTING WEBSITES/WHATEVER AND I TOOK A LOAD OF HOURS OUT OF MY SCHEDUELE [nearly 3 hours] DEDICATED TO ANNOYING MY FRIENDS! SO NOW I HAVE A HABIT OF TYPING IN ALL CAPS AND BEING AN ABSOLUTE EXTROVERT ON THE TEXT CHATTING THINGIES! GLORIOUS!
Anyways, on a more serious note, how are you doing?
Also butterfly stroke is torture. I think they just invented it so that they would have some kind of control over us, 'cause- well, im pretty sure a lot of people are tired after doing it so they wont- yk, be as loud or annoying.
also i have decided that i no longer wish to pay attention to capitalization and whatnot halfway through this post, i apologize for that.
in addition to that, nOOOOO- *sobbing noises* im pretty much leaving at the end of summer bc ~school~ and yk. so it was nice talking to you <3
anyhoo, hru?
