Chatterbox: Down to Earth

My CBversary!

 

....well, belated CBversary. Again. Yeah, I told myself I’d remember this year and post a thread on the actual day, buuut I forgot again. *facepalm* 

Anyway, March 2nd was my 3rd CBversary! I’m officially three years old. Wow. I wonder if I’m a true ‘oldie’ now? XD Time really does fly. It doesn’t quite feel like I’ve been here three whole years. 

I am so thankful for every moment here, truly. I have learned so much and grown so much in many ways. The CB has changed me, and changed my life, too, in ways small and large. All of you mean so much to me, from my best CB buddies to the people I’ve only just met. I’d even venture to call some of you my friends (I’m not going to mention names, but you know who you are), which is not a term I use lightly at all. It has been a wonderful, scary, crazy three years. I’ve changed so much from when I first stumbled into this place as a cringey just-turned-twelve year old. But at my core I’ve stayed the same, which is all one can really hope for, I suppose. And this place has been here through everything, and helped me through a great many things that perhaps would have been bumpier and harder otherwise. 

Thank you. All of you. 

I’m not great at eloquent, sentimental speeches, but there was my feeble attempt. Now I’m gonna cut the seriousness—I’m getting nostalgic. Here, I made cakes! *passes around mini fruit and chocolate flavored cakes* And for those of us that prefer them, pies! *passes around mini pies* And of course, we mustn’t leave out the confetti cannon.

Yay Leeli! Happy 3rd CBversary and may there be many more. 

Ooh, chocolate-and-fruit cakes! *Eats digital cake* Mm, I can't taste it through this laptop, but I'm sure it's delicious! *gathers confetti and dumps it on head*

Congrats Leeli!!! Wow, I guess you joined exactly a month after I did, on February 2nd. It’s crazy how much things can change in three years! When I look back on the posts I made back when I first joined... oof. Well, I don’t like doing that much. I was a very different person. I try to pretend that I just never said some of the things that my younger self did :)

I’m so glad you’ve stuck around for such a long time - you’ve made the CB a better place just by being here!

Aw, thanks, Riddler! Wow, I didn’t know we joined so close to the same time! And same, about the posts from my younger self. I did and said some pretty cringey stuff when I first joined. I try to look back at those posts as little as possible. XD

I'm late (as usual) but HAPPY CBVERSARY!! *grabs pie* *falls onto a mound of confetti*

Happy belated Birthday, someone said their birthday was the same day, but darn my memory right now I can't remember!

And now I'm going to watch Into the Spiderverse!
