Hey everyone...
Is anyone that I used to know still here? I know i haven't been on since December or something and I'm really sorry about that. How is everyone? Has anything big happened while I wasn't here? I actually miss you guys--TNO, Laura, Paige, Emily, Charlotte, Brynne, Willa, Pirocks, Gloworm, Alison, etc.! So in case any of you are still here, plz comment!

I'm babblebop on the NaNo forums. (I don't have a YWP account, though...)

Sorry about the double post, but XD you forgot me? Not surprising, when I look back at old posts and see what a brat I was. XD I've changed a lot too, I think most of us have.

Ok, I don't post here anymore, but RefinneJ told me you came back, so I just had to say something. ASLKDHOIUFHOIU I MISSED YOU SO MUCHH!!!! ohmygoshohmygosh YOU'RE ALIVE! I was like really freaked out because I didn't know what happened to you. Wow, it's kinda weird talking to you for the first time in forever.
But what I really really wanted to tell you was that sometime in early June, I was making an omelette; then I looked down at the pan and thought, "Oh. That came out of a chicken, err, body. That's weird." And so I got repulsed and decided to try my vegan-for-ten-days thingy again. Then on like the fifteenth day I realized I was still vegan and decided to try to stay like that. I started looking up recipes (I've become a master chef, not to brag or anything) and finally got used to vegan substitutes for butter, milk, eggs, chocolate, cream cheese, mayo, ice cream (umm I gotta say vanilla coconut ice cream is better than real ice cream), and everything else. I got my dad (not a vegetarian of any sort) to take me to a vegan festival thing in Portland, and he actually enjoyed it; he's actually been finding vegan recipes and substitutes he wants me to try. I've been checking PETA2's blog every day (haha I've already won a t-shirt in one of their contests). My brother (formerly a semi-vegetarian) is now a lacto-ovo-vegetarian. :) And I was super happy to find out two of my favorite musicians (one who's like my favorite person in the entire world) are vegans and support things like animal rights and PETA. And I've gone through pretty much everything I own and replaced all the things that have been tested on animals with cruelty-free products. This has been one of the hardest and most heartbreaking (ohh man, all those videos are horrid, but there's one I can't even watch; I just listen to the guy narrating it) things I've ever done, but it's also been one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done. I finally feel like my life has some sort of purpose. But the whole time I kept telling myself, this is crazy! I've never met a vegan. No one's vegan! Why should I be a vegan? And then I always remembered, BellaTrix is vegan, so I can be too. So it's mostly because of you that I've been vegan for 75 days now. So thanks. :)
And I remember that last time you posted, it sounded like life wasn't going too well, so I just wanted to say that no matter what, I'll always love you (well I sound like a creep.) and you're a huge inspiration to me and have changed my life.
Kenzie, that's amazing!

Wow Paige, that's really, really, really, really, really cool!!!!! :D
(August 2, 2010 - 11:03 am)
Paige!!! I missed you too!!! Thanks so much!!!
That is absolutely amazing. I don't even know what to say. I can't believe it! I'm so happy for you! How is everything going so far?
I feel special now. :)
Since you sort of wrote so much I guess I'll tell you what happened since I left.
I went to school... It was really life changing as well. I went to a very small private school in a very secluded place in Quebec. It was really great for most of the time. Of course at some points I felt like things were extremely messed up, and I fortunately got over the "MY LIFE SUCKKKSS!" phase when I was in my "deprssed" state. I got my first real boyfriend, he was sweet but sort of really stupid as I later found out. He made me happy, I was find of obsessed with him. He broke my heart a lot. Bleh xP. the girls I met were nice, there weren't a lot of them, but of course I got my fair share or gossip, backstabbing, swearing, and stupidity. I spent a lot of time around guys. xD. My class was pretty slow, as in, er, not made up of the brightest people, which sounds stuck-up but completely true. The tenth grade guys were the awesomest!!! I owe a lot to them. I did make some lasting friends, and I met a lot of nice people, awesomely amazing Aussies and Afrikaaners. I don't think you want me to go into the whole somewhat romantic and mostly retarded story about my stupidly stupid boyfriend... Haha that's probably a good thing, it was really dramatic and, er, retarded.
School made me grow up in a way. It "opened my eyes" I guess. Sort of. I also think it made me stupider in the head, mleh.
I went to a YRSA conferance in New Brunswick, that was pretty fun. It was sort of juvinile, but there was a dance, that was fun... this Bengali dude started creeping me out. There were people from everywhere, we got to plant trees. Yipee. It was supposed to be a green conferance... except that the whole thing was paid for by Irving oil. Don't even get me started on how lame that is.
Umm.
Yeaah I realized that I think I would like to be a photographer when I'm older. I think that would really work for me. I love it.
Love Hanna
PS YESSS coconut ice cream is the best everrrrrrrrr!!!!

Haha, I'm glad you could understand what I said. I kinda have a bad attention span sometimes when I'm writing and tend to use lots of parentheses and subject changes... And how's everything going, as in food? Amazing. Really, I cook all the time and I actually enjoy it. I made an adorable handmade cookbook that has tonss of recipes. I put vegan stickers on everything. :) And it's actually been helping me feel a lot better, too. And it's given me something to think about other than rubbish like, Oh man, I hate my life. Haha. :)
Glad you're feeling better now; everyone goes through those stages at some point in middle/high school. Sorry it didn't work out with your boyfriend (or did it? you don't really say haha). He sounds nice, for the most part; he just happens to have this skill that basically all guys have and that's the lovely skill of breaking hearts. If you want to tell us the story about it, you can feel free to, but you don't have to if you don't want to.:) But it sounds like going to school was a good thing; you met lots of friends and it seems like you learned a ton about life. The conference thingy sounds sorta fun. But bahaha that's funny it was sponsored by Irving...
And GAH I love photography! I want to be a photographer soo badly. My friends and I go on photo shoots a lot, and I get them to model for me. Today (ha, well, it's 2:50 AM, so yesterday I guess) we went and spent the whole day taking pictures in Portland.

*btw, in case you're wondering, this is Paige. I started using the name Kenzie a while ago, but I don't know if you were here for any of that haha.
(August 1, 2010 - 11:19 pm)
Oh, sorry. I guess I didn't post much when you were still here.
(August 2, 2010 - 6:20 pm)
WAIT, why aren't you posting here anymore??????? That makes me SOOOO, like, SOOOOOOO sad. You were the first person who spoke to me on here, you made me feel so welcome! I loved being your friend on here, and then you just left, and now you're back. :( I'm confused and sad. Don't leave, Paige! We alllllll love you :)
(August 2, 2010 - 7:44 pm)
Haha, idk, I guess I sorta just forgot to post one day and then never came back. I kinda miss the old Chatterbox still. :/ But I'll still post here every once in a while, too.
(August 3, 2010 - 1:57 am)
Hi. Uh... I think I remember you, but then I forgot about you... so... um... yeah, welcome back!
(August 2, 2010 - 12:04 pm)
Hi, Trixy! I don't know if you remember me, but I was here when you were here. Welcome back!
(August 2, 2010 - 1:06 pm)
Welcome back, Trixy! Long time no see. How old are you now? I haven't been on CB for a while. Haven't we passed the 2-year anniversary of Chatterbox? That's crazy. It's seems like I've known you guys forever. I don't know if I should call myself an old-timer or not. I joined in the fall of '08, I think......*sigh* Those were the good old days. Ok, me be rambling, so I'd better go.
Yes, Chatterbox is over two years old. And since fall '08 I would consider an old-timer.

Considering the CB started in summer of '08, I'd consider you an old-timer. And I think the two year anniversary was like around the last week of July maybe... I can't remember, because the dates were all messed up at first.
(August 3, 2010 - 1:54 am)
Of course I remember you Julia! And Mary Jo... Haha I remember our overly-heated debates! No offence but back then I didn't like you so much, I was really immature I know. xD It's really nice to know that most of you are still here!
