Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hello members of the Cricket Chatterbox Realm, it is I, Nerdface, back from the dead. Or rather, the extreme buisiness of high school. You can choose. I have brought a message for you all, but for some reason, it seems that I have forgotton.

CUT

Hey! But that was good!

Yeah, but you forgot your lines. Today is literally your biggest day on the Chatterbox since you joined a year ago and you can't even remember! Okay, time for take three million six hundred tho—

I'll just wing it from here, Adrian. Thank you for your help.

Fine, but don't blame me if this all explodes in flames.

I won't. We have Dallas for that.

Hey!

Okay, my turn now. Hey everyone!! For those of you who may be new or don't remember me, I'm NerdFace, and I joined the CB an entire year ago today. My pronouns are she/her and I'm obsessed with musical theatre, reading, writing, ballet, and soccer. Green is my favorite colour and I'm the co-author of The Ski Lodge With No Name, also known as Camp Juniper. A year ago today, Morning (who was then PygmyOwl) introduced me to the CB and I've loved this place so much that I haven't left. I have three Alter Egos, Dallas, Evan, and Adrian, as well as one CAPTCHA, ||Qwinn!||. Dallas and Abcde are in a perpetual fight, which is something we don't talk about in front of him.

For those of you who do know me, hi! I'm here! I've missed you all so much.

Okay here's the really boring part and then I'll get to the fun part.

I want to thank so many of you on here for showing me the way of the Chatterbox and welcoming into your group so easily. I've loved it here because it has given me so many things that my IRL friends and I have nothing in common. It has also given me a platform to share my work and find new things that I'm interested in. You all are so amazing, and it has been wonderful to be able to spend this past year with so many great people. I don't like individual shoutouts, but I have to give a few to the people who I have really admired on here and that have been closest to my heart over the past 365 days.

1st up is Morning. I would like to thank you for inviting me to the CB. Me, your annoying little friend who probably bothered you non-stop and who you hadn't talked to in-person since we were in sixth grade. If you hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have known about all these people if it wasn't for you, and we wouldn't be doing halloween together as Liberté and Basil, either. Not only has you inviting me here improved my life, it has also strengthened our relationship in real life as well. Okay, enough about you.

Next, I would like to give a special shoutout to Luna-Starr (aka indigo) for just being an awesome role model and giving Morning inspiration for our ski lodge. If it wasn't for you, I don't know that I would be here either. You're so rad and I'm so glad I got to know you :)

Third, I would like to just give a special shoutout to Lumi (if she's still here? i haven't noticed her much) because you're just an amazing person and I have loved getting to know you.

And last, but definitely not least, is the big boss society. You all have been so amazing to me throughout this past year, and I can't wait to see where the years take us and our friendships. You all are such great people and I've loved getting to know you more. You've been a place for me to turn to when I need someone to talk to or to rant to, or a place to celebrate achievements and goof around. You've sort of helped me figure out who I am attraction-wise (even though I'm extremly confused still) and you've showed me a different side of the world that I don't get to see where I live.

No matter who I shout out or mention, everyone here on the Chatterbox has made me a better person and have shown me a new side of the internet, one where people can share interests and write stories with the perk of feeling more safe than I would anywhere else on the internet. I love you all, and thank you for this wonderful year here! I can't wait to see what the next year brings us. :)

Okay, now for the fun stuff! 

I will be doing a Q&A, so feel free to ask anything! I will also be doing storyings to those who want one for a limited time only, deadline is Monday, October 11. If you would like one, just give me some basic information that you would like in the storying and I'll get to work!

Another thing is, I BAKED DESSERTS! Take your pick of anything you could ever imagine, order it, and it will be provided via Nerd's Bakery. Enjoy!
