Cayke: You're so cheerful and kind. You always work hard and are an amazing friend. Even when I'm acting like a jerk and spamming /me headdesk or being annoying you don't shout or *virtually* punch me. You are optimistic and not wishy washy in the least. You're always befriending people and giving out advice. 

Danie: You were one of my first friends and one of my better ones. You're RPGs were always amazing (honestly Danie... the Shadow RPG is a legend) and you remind me a lot of myself, except more gamer-ish and much more tech savvy. While some of my other CBer friends were more serious you have a wry sort of wit and are loads of fun to write with.

BHR: You are huge in my world. You remind me a bit like my sister, although my sister is less bookish. If you were a character in a book (I imagine you inhabiting either Keeper Of The Lost Cities or Percy Jackson) it's very likely I would dress up as you.

Noelle C.: From what I know of you you are a simply amazing person and very friendly. I've always wanted to get to know you better but you seem to shimmer in and out of the CB like... for lack of a better similie, a ghost. You are a bit of a role model for me and I wish we could write in RPGs more and I get to know you better.

A Curious Dragon: You were always a big role model for me. Your writing is amazing and I have always wanted to read a book by you, meet you, or talk to you.

Air: You are a great friend and I always thought of you as somewhere between a cross between a role model and a twin. You are a lot like me and I admire neatness and honestly... too me you are a slightly older, neater, Asian version of myself. (BTW I'm still detirmined we meet.)

Awhh! I'm crying now.

CaykeTheCook: Cake Pop! Where do I even begin ... all I can really say is that you're my BFFAEAEAE. You're always there to pick me right back up when I fall, as cliche as that sounds. You're amazing. You're sweet and wholehearted and kind and fun and brilliant. You're hilarious and clever and sarcastic and an absolute weirdo and I love it. You listen to my irritating rants and you eagerly participate in my Troye Sivan fangirl sessions and you help me with boy trouble and you let me make fun of you, as long as you can make fun of me, which is how it should be. I can be myself around you. I can be the true, real-life, completely insane Maeve. I can tell you secrets and I can laugh with you and I can understand you. You can understand me. I'm Ying; you're Yang. We're two halves that fit perfectly together. I love you so much babe.

CBers, you are all so incredibly wonderful in your own special ways. Thank you for being here because without the CB, I wouldn't be the person I am today. You've shaped me into a girl who can openly discuss Harry Potter housing quizzes without feeling like a total dork; who can write and write stories of fairies and elves and dragons and angels for hours upon hours without feeling like I'm too old for that kind of thing. I can feel comfortable saying that I have celiac disease; that I have ADHD; that I still prefer writing letters to my grandparents with my old-fashioned quill pen (the kind that comes with the little pot of dark-blue-almost-black ink that you have to blow on for it to dry) to texting my friends. And while I wish I could send you each your own little personalized message on this thread, I honestly don't have the time. I'm hoping that this one, this message I'm writing to you right now, will suffice instead. Because I don't care who you are or when you joined the CB or why you did or if you and I are even close to being what is considered "friends." You are a part of this website. You are a part of this community. You complete it. Therefore I love each and every one of you and that's that.

I'm just going to end this now - I'm already going through boxes of tissues and if I continue I'll never be able to stop. I don't cry much, but here I am, bawling like a baby. Thanks again, guys. Sorry for being so melodramatic. 

I don't feel like I relly have that many redeeming qualities, but all of you guys are just amazing. The CB is here to cheer me up, listen to my very (I'm sure) annoying way of writing and going on and on about stuff. And stuff. The CB has made life a whole lot more interesting.

That isn't as heartfelt as everyone else's but...I don't know.

Oy. 

Nora the Singer: You are one of the sweetest people I have ever met, online and offline. You brighten up the CB and you know exactly what to say at the right times. You're like a ray of sunshine, and the CB woukldn't be the same without you.

CaykeTheCook: You're an amazing person, Cayke, and you're my best friend on the CB. You can show how kind, funny, smart, and witty you are in a few sentences, and you really know how to make people feel better. 

Indigo: Oh, gosh, Indigo! *squeals and hugs* You don't know how KIND AND SWEET you are! Always cheering me up on my bad days. You can deal with my increasing dark personality, my crazy quotes and my weird geek jokes. You don't know how HAPPY I am that you are here. And let me bold this up so you can know: You are an absolute amazing writer. Seriously, I remember your posts on the shadow rp as clear as water. Why, I nearly hail you! *bows* But you still treat me as an equal, even when my harsh temper may slightly start aruging with others.

*coughs* anyways...It's just... Hard to express how much I love having you as a friend. The way you seem to understand how I'm feeling. Actually, you seem to know how everyone's feeling!  I'm glad I met you, and you will always be in my heart..... Oh gosh, that was cheesy. *ahem* let me try that again... You will always be my BEST friend on cb!!

CayketheCook: Sometimes I think of you as an older cb, the way you hold yourself. You are kind, and I love the way you seem to be always cheerful. I don't remember a single time you felt depressed, and when you did, it was probably only for a half a second. Your loving nature will be known, I am sure of it! I your fangirlish and squealing personality always makes me smile.

Brookeira: Let me just start this off by saying HOW AMAZING YOUR RPS ARE. Your unique characters and ideas really start the spark in me! You are funny, and will say what you mean. And the many times Masked Piester and I spent throwing pies at Squeak.... Ahh...

S.E.: You remind me so much like myself. Just an itching feeling, you know, and I just can't describe it. You're a smart, talented girl, and I love it when you express your feelings when I don't. And it relaxes me whenever you prep talk me.

I WILL do more! There are many others needing my attention. 

First off, let me apologize for not posting here sooner. I couldn't find the right words.

I still can't. I can't make these words fit together as I can sometimes, when they click together like puzzle pieces; I rehearsed this in my head before, but it's gone now, and I can only trust my fingers as they type out the words that pop into my head randomly. I hope that, terrible though this will be, you all will undertsand how much you mean to me.

Before I post, something always comes into my head. A little snippet of it, or an idea. I saw this thread, and was like, yeees! until I tried to write something.

Obviously first on my list was Somebody, who is my BCBB. But when I tried to find something to describe her, well.... it all sounded floppy, weak, and false. Cayke- same thing. Alias- nothing. I can never think of the right way to single someone out and praise them, so in this post I will praise all of you, because lats night something did come to me for that.

All of you are the best people I have ever met. Welcoming, kind, high-spirited, and creative above all else, CBers are... well, I may lose adjectives a lot. But really. Every person, every half-breed, deaf or blind or mute, it doesn't make a difference. Are you a nerd? Great! Girly-girl? There may not be many here, but who cares? Everyone is treated equally, fairly, and kindly in the Chatterbox, and I am blessed to be a part of such a community.

We are allied by our interests; is that not, after all, why we come to the CB? It is a place to write and share our writings (that may not be a word, but it sounds good), draw and share our drawings, exclaim at our achievements, and make friends with people who share our joys. it is a place to bond and make friends, whether for the first time or the hundreth. What is there not to like about the CB, I ask, besides the things that people pine for out of love?

And now my mind's going blank again, just when I was getting on a roll. Well, I hope this explained things clearly enough, and wasn't too sentimental.

Katydid: Ah, where to start. You are an amazeing person. Your every post has made me smile. You are friendly and kind and bubbly. 

You are wonderful. Your words have always cheered me up when l'm feeling depressed.

Your writing is marvelous. Your artwork is beauitful. l'm glad to have meet you, Katydid. 

God bless you.  

Katydid, I don't know you, but your letter literally made me cry. You sound like a wonderful person and I can't wait to get to know you.
