Goodbye. That is

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Goodbye. That is

Goodbye. That is to say, Au revoir.

I really don't quite know how to say all this, but I've been planning on leaving the CB for a while: for one thing, I'm going to college in the fall and won't have much time for this kind of thing, and for another, I keep feeling that the CB has steadily been changing, and that I don't really fit in with it anymore. I still really appreciate it for what it has given me in the 3 years I've posted here, but it's not the same, and I feel the more I come, the more I'm reminded of how it used to be.

That's not to say I have anything against the new things about it or the people. It's just that I feel like one of the last survivors of some era. So many of the people who've been my friends and fellow posters ever since I've come are slowly leaving, and it's a little lonely being among the last.

I will still post on here when I can (there's a new Internet ban on at my house anyway, so I can't even go online much at all), but I don't know how often. Anyway, I just wanted to give you all a heads-up in case I suddenly disappear for good one day.

Thank you.

P.S. That sounded extremely melodramatic, and I'm sorry. But it does feel like a moving occasion, saying farewell to such an important part of my life, and I don't know how I could do it sufficiently.

 

You will be remembered fondly, Everinne, as are other Chatterboxers who have grown up and moved on. But remember you can check in with us at any time and let us know how you're doing.

Everinne-

This is going to sound so dramatic, but oh well I need to say it. Everinne, the Chatterbox would have been so different without you. You will always be one of the most welcoming people(even though I don't know you) in my life. Thank you fo all you've given me, and all you've given to the Chatterbox. I'm gonna cry. *runs away from writing desk bawling*

Oh Everinne, I just about cried reading this. I completely understand your reasons, but we're going to miss you tremendously. I'M going to miss you A LOT! I hope your future ambitions are blessed though, and that you receive as much out of life as you have ever hoped! You are always in my prayers, and you're already missed. God bless.

I was thinking, I didn't tell Everinne how much she means to me. So I just need to say this YOU ARE A TRUE CBER AND I WILL MISS YOU FOREVER. Gah! I'm still crying. And I'm going to stop because I can't say it any better than BHR did. The Lord bless and keep you.

Sad to hear you're leaving .

I know what you mean about it's different . I think it's because we're getting older and the new kids coming are, well, young . 

And , hey come back and post this fall about college . I'm also graduating and going away to college young , so I'd love to hear your experiences ...

You'll be missed . (:

Everinne, I'm going to miss you so so much. I hope you don't think you don't belong in the CB - you complete it! Please, please post, at least once in a while, and remember that we all love you. Good luck in college. I know you'll do great.

I cried reading this as well. I understand both about college and the changes the CB is going through. Almost everyone that was on frequently when I came on is gone. 

As BHR said, God bless.

Everyone's going to miss you somethin' awful!

Well, good luck in college and stuff. I'm not typing anything else because I can't really see the keyboard.

They are all gone or rarely post. Those are the names of past CBers that were on when I came on almost a year and a half ago that do not still post constantly. We all miss them. We know we do. 

All of you, God Bless.

But it is a different flavor now. Everything is so different.

RPs, thread topics, everything!

But all that remains of that time period are memories. Strong memories, but still, only memories.

We miss you, everyone.

My day is going to be very different without you.

I just cried. I may have not known you very long..... But I will miss you dearly.

Sometimes when CBrs leave like you and T.O.N.....I feel like a very special piece of the chatterbox has crumbled to dust or has left me even. 

Even though everyone in here now will go someday... You're one of the  ones I miss the most.

You and every CB'r has given me so much pure joy.

Good Bye Everinne.  I'll miss you!!! :( :( :(

I will definitely miss you, Everinne. Is it just me or all the CB interview people leaving? I will miss your kindness and everything about you. I understand the CB is getting hard to handle for you and that college is coming up, so I understand your reasons. I will miss seeing around that girl with pointed ears and a key necklace (that's how you look in my mind). Farewell, dude! Farewell!

Professor Ellie:

Wait! Don't-don't leave without me saying something!

Ellie:

Wait, are you crying, Professor?

Professor:

No! Maybe! Anyway, Everinne, I will miss you. Will go on to do crime? Ooh!

Ellie: 

Professor!
