My... CBerversary???

My... CBerversary???
My... CBerversary???
I'm not exactly certain when my CBerversary officially is, since I have a complicated history with the CB. But I've kinda decided on January 8 for my CB-Return-A-Versary, and so although this is late, it's been 2 years since I came back.
Let me explain a little bit of my history.
3 years, 5 months, and 5 days ago today, I made one of the first posts I can remember on here. It was on a Wings of Fire Blab About Books post by Insanity, and I ended up talking back and forth with Air for a while. Soon after that, I jumped back off the CB and just... didn't think about it for about a year or so. Then I came back on in about January 2017? In the time I was gone, almost every "war" happened (I mean no disrespect by putting it in quotes) and a lot of people I had known left. I've always had the name 'Starseeker' and the moons in my age box (though the number of moons changes as I age), but my location changed a lot. It used to be various Wings of Fire territories, such as "Seawing Territory" or "Nightwing Kingdom". Now, I change it every year on my birthday, because... why not? It's a mark of my changing personality.
Now, I feel like I should do something cool with this thread. Like, thank all the people that helped me along the way, or create a poetry thread, or compliment people. But I just don't know, really. How about this? Ask me a question. As long as it doesn't break any CB guidelines, I'll answer it honestly. They can be silly or something that you just want to know about me. Have fun!

Happy CBversary Starseeker! What is your favorite celestial body/constellation? Mine is Little Dipper, because it was the only on I could find when I was little. Mars is my favorite celestial body because I love the colour red.
Have a great CB year to come!
<3 Fidelity

Thanks, Fidelity! My favourite constellation is Orion, because you can frequently see it over my home in the winter months. And my favourite celestial body is a black hole, because they're simply fascinating.

Happy CBversary!!! *hugs* As for a question, well... what is your favorite breed of cat?
(January 14, 2019 - 1:13 pm)
Thanks, Vy!! *hugs back* Hmmm... I love all of them, to be honest! But I like the elegance of tabby cats, which, I guess they aren't technically a breed, but still. When I was little, I liked Persians because they're so fluffy. ^^

Happy CBversary, Star! *cues balloons* *remembers she doesn't have balloons*
My question for you... why did you choose your CB name? I think it's cool.
Boo, why would you even... *sighs* excue me, I must have a little chat with my CAPTCHA.

@Soren, I'll have a response typed up later, but not right now. My computer deleted it all. :(

Surprise surprise, I have actual time!
Here's a pretty much repeat of my sadly deleted post...
Thanks, Soren! *releases balloons on your behalf*
Ooh, okay, so this is one of my favourite stories to tell. Names have a lot of meaning for me, and Starseeker is no exception. Here we go...
A long, long time ago, but sadly in this galaxy, (and when I say long time I mean circa 5 years ago, or 2 years before I joined<ish> the CB), a new girl came to my school. Her name was Kelsey. In addition to being the one who inspired me to write my novel, This Dark Night, she also introduced me to a book series called Wings of Fire. WoF is about seven dragon tribes who are at war, and rely on the Dragonets of Destiny to save them. I made a new set of Dragonets of Destiny with my best friend of the time, Maloo (not her real name-- further explanations forthcoming). These Dragonets involved Maloo the MudWing (that's it. That's the whole explanation of Maloo) and Starseeker the NightWing (that'sa me!). I was always fascinated with the majesty and power of the NightWings and their supposed powers (so Starseeker the character has powers) as well as their black and silver design. Though her story was never finished, that character still holds so much meaning for me. It reminds me not only two little girls named Kelsey and Maloo, but also of the power everyone has to reach for the stars and do great things.
(and, that's the end of my sappy name rant. Thanks for reading. :) ) (Also, I think the first thread I ever created here was about name meanings, so thanks for reminding me of happy memories, Soren!)

(PS-- A few more unasked for things. I'm attaching some early drawings of the character Starseeker, roughly dated 2018 top left, 2014/5 top right, 2015/6 bottom left, and 2015/6/7 bottomright. In addition, a quick story on why I do my little flourish sign off! <~Starseeker> This is a lot shorter. My sister, Poetic Panda, used to do it when she was on here. I picked it up too. I don't know what inspired her-- I'll ask sometime. Salve!)

I did this picturing of you; I got a sudden stroke of inspiration. Hope you like it! :)

I almost forgot the best part! You might recognise the constellation. ;)

Woo, happy anniversary, Starseeker!
Uh, question... What is the first thing you remember writing?
(January 15, 2019 - 8:59 pm)
Thanks, coyote!
Hmm, let's see here... writing as in a piece of literature, I did lots of school stuff in class. But for my own purposes, one of the first things I wrote was in roughly 2nd or 3rd grade. I wrote a story about how one of my classmates got poisoned by a marshmallow cake because everyone liked her. XD Jealous much? There was some other stuff in there too, but TDN (my novel, This Dark Night) has been my main focus for a long time.
