Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Okay.I think
Okay.
I think I'm honestly about to cry.
But don't worry, I'm not leaving or anything! Don't worry, nothing bad is happening, quite the opposite really. If you count my heart shattering into a million pieces because it can't withstand emotions nothing bad.
YOU ALL ARE THE NICEST PEOPLE EVER.
And I'm making a thread for it because I'm pretty sure not everyone goes on that Compliments Thread and I want everyone to see this.
I've seen these--
You have amazing ideas for RPs!
As I posted there, this sent me into a bit of an involuntary flashback and it means a lot more to me than it should. There used to be a CBer named Alias S. when I was a newbie, and he told me the same thing. I really appreciated it.
You're just an awesome writer and person, nothing more to it. True to your name, you're like a wise owl.
Amazing writing, inspirational.
When I first came on CB, you were, like, my idol. I read all of your RPs
and obsessed over the fact that you joined the first story I ever
wrote. You have amazing ideas, strong opinions, and are a great and
valuable asset to CB. Also, I am pretty sure that Dev and Feather will
cause my death because I laugh so hard whenever they post.
This one completely made my day. It's like... sunshine. Yes. I was Abigail's idol. Abi is, like, one of my favorite people-- no offense, guys-- and to hear that she quite literally idolized me-- I can't believe it.
And also, I am very doubting in our senses of humor. Dev and Feather actually make people laugh?!
You're a great writer, friend, and you always somehow keep on top of things even though when you're busy.
You're very creative and just a really nice, friendly person in general.
You're all over the CB! Not only are you a great writer- I admire how
you get so much about a character in one RP post- but you are one of
the most devoted HP fans I've seen! We al love your threads, whether it
is a RP, or an RR, or a picture of your dog (she really is adorable), or
a HP book club....which brings me to the next thing.
My first ever post on the CB was a review of the book Chains. Then the
second thing I did was one of your HP book clubs. At the time, I was
still getting to know the CB, and that club seemed mindblowing to me.
See, I had never blogged before...i couldn't do anything that required
emails, or any kind of sign-up, but the CB is so free, so yeah, it
seemed absolutely amazing to me at the time...an online HP book clubs. I
gave you a bunch of compliments on that thread that probably sounded
really dorky, "St. Owl, I think what you're doing is amazing..." I
didn't realize that CBers did stuff like this all the time! My point is,
you stood out from the very beginning.
Wow. I... can't even remember that book club.
Is agreeing to a compliment vain? I'll admit I've always been very self-confident, but that others thought the same things I did-- that's something else entirely. I've always found I can get a lot more about a character in an RP post than in a charrie sheet, but I didn't think someone would ever notice, let alone highlight, it.
And also, in Cho's survey? Anyone who answered the "Prominent CBer" question has listed me among them. I can't even believe that.

All in all... thank you. Thank you SO FREAKING GIGANTIC MEGA MUCH. This means so much more to me than you could really understand. And my heart's dropped into my innards, and this time it's actually for a good reason. Surprise surprise.
I love you all. Thank you for giving me such a fantastic reason to.

Aw, I love you too, St. I'm glad my compliment made you happy! And, yes, Dev and Feather are really hilarious.

I feel the same, St. Owl. But before I write about my emotional mess of a personality, you are definitely a major part of the Cb. You were there when I joined, and, well, we all love you. <3
Now this compliment thread.....the person who first came up with this idea should be given a parade. And for all the people that said something nice about me...
Thankyou.
So. Much. So-so-so much. I am actually crying because of them. Right now, as you'll have witnessed,I am an emotional mess. A sloppy, pathetic, emotional blob. I am going through so many mountains and wild trails of trials and finally am just beginning to find a purpose to my endless wandering.
My life has been an unorganized mess lately and it has taken me so long to grab something solid in the hurricane. I haven't pulled myself out yet, but I have a grip. I didn't know what to was supposed to do. Everything was fine, but then suddenly at random intervals self-doubt would come and slaughter me.
My life is slowly falling into place. I am slowly going backwards and mending all the holes I have torn in my soul. It feels pretty good to get rid of some of these things. I'm lighter, but very vulnerable right now.
And those compliments made me think, and hit home. And I inwardly cried because they were so amazing. Before they were just compliments. Now, however, I have realized they are so much more. They make me feel amazing. It is beautiful and they mean so,so much right now. It makes me feel like I have actually done something people appreciate.
Scylla called me human. That was amazing. So very helpful.
Amber, I believe, called me a dreamer. That opened up another problem in my life that I have set to conquer.
Also for those who are wondering, I don't have depression. I just have emotion....s....lots.
I don't usually get very emotional about things. One thing I really appreciate is beauty. Or when someone goes out of their way for me to do something. I will swell with emotion when I see something unexplainable beautiful. Inexploicably unexplainably awesome.
Now this....thank you. Everybody! For listening to my emotional state where I want to cry at everything amazing and at keep contemplating how I can do better. I'm going to try to encourage someone every day too.
I just want to hug someone, cry, and talk. Because of how much I have missed, how beautiful things are, and how much waits for me!
I need to make a Cber diary for everyone to use! Daily, weekly, or whenever you feel like it, you can write about prreetty much anything you'd like, and get encouraging responses from the amazing cbers.
I'd also like to compliment each one of you:
The chatterboxers are amazing. I cannot even begin to comprehend how much I want to hug every single one of you. Admins as well, of course. I want to hug everybody and tell you all everything. You all are so encouraging and uplifting and definitely talented! There is so much...goodness! Amazingness! Happiness! And it is all because of you guys! This website is a milestone in my life, and I appreciate each and everysingle one of you. Everything you add on to a roleplay is brilliant. Any encouraging words are so truthful and honest.
This website....has attracted...some of the best people I know. I need people to talk to. Its what I do: talk. And you all listen! And help! Even some people I'm my life cannot compare to you.
I love you all. I appreciate everything you've done for me. I enjoy seeing you grow and change.I am thrilled to read your eloquent words.
Thank you.
Sincerely, with the utmost love and hugs, Katydid~

Oh my goodness, St. Owl, you know you really, really, really deserve all of that. You know, you're my idol as well as Abi's. I would give worlds to be as kind as you, write as well as you, and be as involved as you. You're one of the greatest people I've ever met, and I'm really, really glad I've gotten to know you. Thank you- for everything.

Awww! I'm not an emotional person, typically, so this will probably turn out really awkward. I don't know what my life would be like without you guys. I mean, everyone says you can't trust people you meet on the Internet, and I'm not going to go share my personal information with y'all or anything, but everyone on CB are (is? Is that proper grammar?) my some of my best friends. The compliment thread is a great idea! I like how most compliments aren't like ones in real life. We did something in school where you wrote a compliment for everyone in the class, and I counted the words I got. 18 smarts. One creative. Two nice. One friendly. And a few intelligents. Like really? Is that all you think of me? Smart? But I think a lot of people on here get it. We're used to being labeled as smart, and we're all so alike! You guys give real compliments and its so nice! I'm going to stop now. I'm just not an emotional person. I said this would be awkward. Bye now!
(April 4, 2016 - 2:23 pm)
Haha, this reminds me- remember, back in October, when you said you were going to leave? I freaked out. Freaked. Out. You seemed like the only worthwhile CBer to me (no offense, everyone) and I was devastated that you'd even suggest leaving me. It felt almost like.... Betrayal. I used to idolize over you, but eventually spread out, developed my own reputation. You imprinted on me, set an example for me, when I came to the CB. Thank you.
(April 4, 2016 - 7:10 pm)
Scylla:
a) More gratitude. This time, no words.
b) Actually, if we are thinking of the same thing (which I am positive we are) I actually never said I was leaving. I said specifically I was not leaving, in fact. xD I was just expressing my opinions during the eve of the Nostalgia War. I do remember your freakout, though.... :P
(April 5, 2016 - 6:32 pm)
Haha, I remember now. I went back to page 13 of DtE just for the memories and found your thread. I saw my posts, and how desperate I was. It felt, to me, almost like I had no character. And in my panic, I did the impossible. I made spelling and capitalization errors. I did all that because I had no idea you had an Æ named Saint Owl.
But all I said about you was true, and I meant it all.
(April 6, 2016 - 4:42 pm)
I'm happy to have made even the tiniest subatomic particle of positive difference in your life. I don't get a ton of compliments because I guess I'm not one of the more prominent people, but I'm fine with that. The ones I do get mean a lot, because how I act on here is pretty much how I am in real life. An awkward, insecure, nerdy, tryhard, (overly) self-deprecative kid.
I'm glad we made you feel happy and appreciated. I feel like after almost two years, I'm finally returning the favor.
(April 4, 2016 - 7:50 pm)
Don't say that! You are all important. Just a few months ago, I wasn't on the picturing thread and nobody knew my name.
(April 6, 2016 - 6:41 am)
Oh my. And now you're making me cry. Not sad, just overly emotional.
l've always been rather awkward, doing my own thing. This feels....awkward. Perhaps probably because l am an awkward person.
l don't know quite what to say.
You're welcome, Owly :D
(April 7, 2016 - 9:41 pm)
You know the oddest thing? I looked at CB today, for the first time in forever, and just happened to see this post.
(Just by the way, I'm a 'she'. I know Alias is about the most faceless name ever. =))
