Chatterbox: Down to Earth

You can tell this is SERIOUS because I didn't write ANYTHING in capitals and I ended with a PERIOD! (I feel dirty.)

But this is serious, so I'm betraying my natural instincts so you will listen to me.

A month, two months ago, all the CBers decided to mellow down on their AEs. Make sure they don't show up too much, because the CB was in too-crazy mode.

I wasn't aware that "mellow down" means "stop using completely".

I know we have been a big problem for CBers. Some don't see the point, and don't mind not having us. For some of you, your AEs are basically a part of you.

I understand if you who don't have AEs find us annoying, boistrous, and crazy. But listen. That's what a AE is. That's pretty much what we're made for. Crazy comedy. The wacky side of you. The part that you don't usually get to express.

We need to find a good place for Alter Ego action. I am aware that before, we were running around wild, cooko, and messing the CB up. But this... this is just wrong. The last time I was allowed to speak was during the CBer ball. I find myself talking to St. a lot now, because I can't express myself anywhere else. I want to be allowed to run around a bit, brag that I forced Feather to eat some brussels sprouts (which I did, yay for me!), and chat with Volcano.

Doesn't anyone feel the itch to have your alter ego speak? Doesn't anyone miss the screaming, the happy shouting? Anyone miss the pie throwing and the mountain dew?

We need AEs to make the CB the thing it's supposed to be: the home to the slightly crazy, writing-loving CBers. To fufill the crazy part, you need us.

Thank you for listening. I hope you will bring this speech into account.
