Hey!! I hav
Hey!!
I haven't been on the CB in ages, so I just thought I'd update y'all on how I've been doing.
I'm getting jaw surgery in July (because I have an underbite) and because of that I won't have to do many camps this summer for once which is very good. I'm planning on taking some art classes in all that free time.
I'm (kinda) dating someone. Neither one of us really knows what romantic attraction is like, so we don't know how to label the relationship but oh my science they're amAZING and I love them so much. *blush* And they're so cute and they compliment me a lot and even though my eating disorder has kind of been making a comeback lately I'm actually starting to believe that I deserve someone as amazing as them and askfhdjsfgd I love them.
Also I discovered that I've had a semi-official diagnosis of autism (semi-official because my hydrocephalus negates it) since second grade and no one told me until I ASKED??? Like, wow!! thanks a lot, Mom. But it really explains a lot of my behaviors and it's nice to know why I do certain things and yeah (if there any autistic CBers, hit me up on NaNo!!)
And as long as I can keep my grades up I'll end up being somewhere in the neuro field when I grow up because I want to see if there's any way to find a permanant fix for hydrocephalus and I want to study tCDS (not a typo, Admins. It stands for trans-cranial direct shock.)
And lastly, because I knew there'd be questions, I changed my name because of personal reasons that may not be entirely CB-appropriate.

OH MY GOSH, I AM GETTING TO MEET MAGGIE!!! Ooops, excuse my excitement. You probably have no clue who I am. Well, meet Cayke, an old thread reader who knows all about your personal life!!! Hhaha, just kidding. I'm Cayke, your new friend!! Or am I kidding....? O.o The world will never know. ANYWAYS I AM SOOO EXCITED TO MEET YOU!!!
(May 11, 2015 - 11:06 am)
Hi, Cayke! (It doesn't matter if you're kidding. I used to be shockingly open about my personal life.)

Oh, oh, Maggie! You have been so so so so so missed! Oh, oh, oh, I'm oozing with joy! I do not have autism, but a lot of people think that I do... it's bad. One lady came up to my mum in a store once and talked to her about this book on autism. When my mum asked her why, she asked if I had autism because of the way I was acting...
Awkward.
What kinds of things do you do that other people think are... strange?
(May 12, 2015 - 4:08 pm)
(My name is Arin. Please please please refer to me as such.)
Is there something wrong with being autistic? Your tone makes it sound like autism is a bad thing.
Do you know what's really bad? Thinking there was something majorly wrong with you and then learning that it was a hidden diagnosis.
Well I have no idea why I was originally diagnosed with autism (that is to say, I don't know which of my behaviors led them to diagnose me with autism) but some of my current behaviors like not being able to pay attention and the hand-flappy thing I do and my inability to comprehend social cues and the stimming and just a lot of stuff.
(May 12, 2015 - 6:15 pm)
Well, I didn't mean it like that. I have an awesome friend who is diagnosed with autism. I mean that it was awkward for the people who thought I had autism. One of the few things that I can realize in a social situation is when someone else does something wrong, then feels awkward, but then I feel awkward because they feel awkward and they think I'm acting awkward because what they did was awkawrd, and it's really just me being awkward because they're being awkward and I hate it when other people feel awkward about what they say because I'm pretty blunt.\
Please, please, please tell me someone feels this way.
I don't know what I would do if my mum didn't tell me my diagnosis. I would... agh... that would be atrocious.
I cannot comprehend social cues to save my life, either. I'm just not autistic.

Hello, Maggie/Arin. I am Brookeira, a frost elf druid. I have two alter egos.
1. Masked Piester: She is a human wo likes to throw pies and is probably insane.
2. Baelfire: He is a Celtic fairy with fire powers. He's rather shy.
(May 12, 2015 - 7:34 pm)
Masked Piester is not AN alter ego. Masked Piester is THE alter ego. Credit to Masked!

Hey Maggie! You may or may not remember me...but nevertheless, welcome back!
(May 12, 2015 - 6:34 pm)
Sorry! ARIN!
(May 12, 2015 - 9:21 pm)
MAGGIE!!! I mean, Arin!!! We've missed you on the CB! Things have changed since you left-- Everinne isn't here as much, and there are Alter Egos-- but I'm so glad to see you again!
(May 13, 2015 - 7:01 am)
'Ello, Arin! I know you quite well... But you don't know me :P. Anyways, I'm Danie, famous comedian on this website and the first to have a fluffy, man-eating fluff ball bunnie that is not a captcha!
I have a twin by the name of Squeak, who is slightly more calmer and educated than me. Hurmph.
Okay, he isn't my twin. Just my senstive and calm side of my personality. No, not an alter ego- oh, wait, I forgot. You see, cb has changed.. A bit. I guess it used to be a bit more quiet, and a little bit smaller. Now, it's bustling, kinda crowded, and filled with alter egos who throw pies at your face every second. Another reason why Squeak isn't an alter ego. Maybe I'M the alter ego... I have no clue.
A bit of some history lessons while you were gone:
-Brooke got the first alter ego, MP
-Winter got the second alter ego, THE BLASTER!!
-I got the third, but I kinda ish lied to everyone that he was my real twin. -_-.
-An argument about the Oldies (Joined before crowd socery), Middies (Joined at Crowd Socercy) and the Newbies (just joined)
-A lot of people leave, or at least say they're leaving
-argument ceases
-Brooke changed her name to Brookeira
-An alter ego rp starts, causing a revolution of alter egos
-Masked Piester (MP) gets upset, because everyone stole her idea of alter ego and made her less famous. (And to be honest, I was on her side. Because all the middies who got the alter egos first suddenly became less known and the Newbies ruled cb. Now, I'm not going to start an argument, just stating the facts here.)
-A lot of alter egos die
-I finally say to all that Squeak is actually not real, just a figment of my imagination.
-Argument ceases.
-A few more alter egos join (Baelfire, Volcano, ect, ect)
-And Inkwell gets overloaded with rps.
Well, that's all I remember.

Maggie! I mean Arin! You're back! I'm so happy to see you again. Can you believe I've almost been on here for a year already? When you left I was that singing newbie in the Ski Lodge over there who was either fangirling or being pessimistic. I'm not as depessing as I used to be. The important thing is that you're not dead. I seriously missed you. Are you in touch with any other older CBers? I've been wondering where WritingWarrior went for a while. But we are really running out of a lot of the people we had last summer. I barely got to know you, so I'm glad you're here!
