CB time capsule!
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
CB time capsule!
CB time capsule!
I love inventing things for the CB, so here goes!
People build 'time capsules' with things in them about that person, diary entries, etc for future people to read.
What if we built our own?
Each participating CBer writes a bit about themselves (for our 'diary entry'), and puts that into a comment on this thread. Please also find a memorable, happy, or sad moment from the CB and copy paste in with your comment.
Once at least 7-10 CBers have made entries, I'll combine them into one thread, then send that thread to the bottom. DO NOT TOP IT. This serves so that it's easier for the future CBers to find it easier.
This will hopefully give future CBers a glimpse of what it was like 'back then'. :)

Brilliant idea, Icy! Here I go:
To whoever may read this,
I am Ashlee G, currently 15, and have been around the CB off and on since either 2012 or 2013. Since then, I've been through a lot. We all have. There were wars, new friendships, memories, discoveries, and a change of what the CB had truly become. I love everything about it, everything.
A bit about me: I am your general book nerd, gamer, and writer, but far out of the ordinary. I'm... different. My ideas are unique, my mind is like a swirling whirlpool, constantly. I never stop dreaming, my whole life is like some massive daydream because of my endless circling thoughts. People say that is why I am such a brilliant writer, but I never really thought of it that way. I'm a storyteller. I'll spend hours telling stories more powerful than even the best-written novels. Like I said, I'm different, and I embrace that.
On January 17th, 2017, the potential to change lives took place. I'm an innovator, always trying to change the world and improve things. With the help of my amazing friends - both in real life and here on the CB - I wrote a two-page paper addressing the mistreatment of special ed kids, people who I strongly can relate to. After all, I am very different compared to your average person. That will be the day my school will remember, the day an internal war between students and staff would be started. After all, my group wouldn't go down without a fight.
At the same time, world domination is taking place on the CB. Gared and I are leading separate, opposing armies for world domination. We will rule the world someday, the CBers will rule!
This might be long, but there is a lot to tell. During this time period, there are imaginary minds called "AEs" or "alternate egos". Unlike the original definition, our AEs are like separate people of our personalities that we use to roleplay and interact with. Mine are two twins, a sister, and a brother, named Zeon and Quill. Zeon's a gamer and surfer, a go with the flow, friendly kinda guy. Quill is a book smart, nerdy, quiet, vocabulary/grammar freak, much unlike her brother. Both represent the personality of who I am.
Now a memory... I am going to tell you a sad one. I don't know why, but I think it's because this event - and others - greatly defined who we are today. The AE War. The thing was, AEs were crazy, bouncing off the walls insane. People were creating so many, and some weren't truly defining their personalities, just creating similar ones. It was around the time I created my two AEs, back when Zeon was more on the insane side. Some wanted to set a limit to 2 or 3 max, others wanted their freedom. The war was terrible, went on for an extremely long time. It happened to be the time of my return after years of being gone on the CB. I was kinda crushed and confused and reacted weakly. As in, I should have acted differently. Ah well... that was in the past. Although so many brilliant people left, and some amazing AEs were removed. The conclusion was, it was preferred you have 2-3, but more would be allowed assuming they were well-defined, unique, and manageable. And that AEs posted where it was appropriate, and to lower down the insane level.
That's it. I'm sorry this is so long... But it was worth it. Maybe when you read this, you'll recognize my name. Maybe I'll still be around on the CB when this is read. Then again, maybe not. I might be living out my life as an adult, or college student. Who knows?
What I do know is this:
No matter who you are, you are brilliant. You WILL make a change in this world, a good change. Keep on being you, you're a shining star!
