September MCU Prep!

September MCU Prep!

Is anyone interested in helping with the September MCU?

I can do Threads to Check Out, if that's alright with everyone, and I can host but only if no one else wants to.

I could do the Monthly Playlist, if that's okay?

@Luna Silvermoon; sure, we'd love your help! Is there anything you'd like to do, or do you need a suggestion? We still need someone to write the LMWAY and advice column, if you're up to doing that?

@Poinsettia; it'd be great if you could do the Monthy Playlist!!

Yes, I'd love to do inspirational quotes :) Here are just a couple of CB quotes I found; feel free to not include them.

"A zucchini crown? But you can't even eat it. I mean, you can, but why would you want to? It's really just an inconvenience. Here, allow me to pulverize it for you!"

--Darkling, Last to Post (from the very early stages of the Zoodle War)

"*proceeds to make noodles out of zucchini* (it's a real thing, it's called Zoodles)"

--Darkvine, Last to Post (the origin of all Zoodle Wars)

And inspirational quotes~

"After love, book hunting is the most exhilarating sport of all."

--A.S.W. Rosenbach

"You can dance in a hurricane, but only if you're standing in the eye"

--Brandi Carlisle

"The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

--Dolly Parton

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

--Anonymous

"Friendship doubles our joy and divides our grief." (So very true of the CB :) )

--Anonymous

Here's a few book quotes then:

"There is a saying that when people die, they continue to live as long as someone remembers them. I would add: 'and tells their story.'" - The Windeby Puzzle, Lois Lowry 

"Meantime, I was going to enjoy the magic while I could." - Crenshaw, Katherine Applegate

"'You've always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it yourself.'" - The Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum

"'But a person is so much more than the name of a diagnosis on a chart!'" - Out of My Mind, Sharon M. Draper

September Playlist! (I'm afraid they don't have much to do with September; I couldn't think of any that did.)

Ride, by Martina McBride (very good for listening to if you need motivation for something... like going back to school)

Coat of Many Colors, by Dolly Parton

Five Hundred Miles, by Peter Paul & Mary

Gardens of Sampdon and Beasley, by Pink Martini

1 2 3 by the Indigo Girls

just a recommendation, how about the song September by Earth, Wind & Fire? Has it been put in a playlist before?

How's this sound for the LMWAY and Advice Column? Unless anyone else has any other ideas, I'm going to post this because we should probably start asking for submissions asap.

Advice Column: Now that school's started for most of us, we want to head your best studying tips for this upcoming school year.

LMWAY: For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is coming to an end. What's your favorite memory of this summer?

And then I'll ask for submissions for the LoTM, Jokes Column, and Important Dates as well :)

Yess!! Those are beautiful! Or maybe time management also (I know I need help with that!)? But those are perfect! 

Also, don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the CB quotes. Is it fine that I definitely went overkill? Is there a limit? I tried to limit it myself, but once you read through 40 pages of CaC (yes, I did. Thank you, it was very entertaining if not very much unnecessary and too much), it's quite impossible (for ppl who always write a LOT, like me) to just pick one or two. I am currently in the impossible process of narrowing down the quotes.
Yes, I just used a lot of repetition of words in those sentences. But I'm too lazy to think of synonyms and change it.

Alright, cool - I'll post them later today unless any one else has any objections.

There isn't really a limit, but I'd say around 2-5. Remember, we have to repost these along with all the other sections of the MCU, and we don't want it to be to long. It's great that you've found a lot of quotes - remember, you can always save them and volunteer to do CB quotes for the next MCU!

Yeah, good idea, so... I maybe just like randomly deleted half of them. Which was soooo hard but... some things just need to be done. And without further ado! 

Please tell me/the ppl on the MCU (so Pangolin Ig) if you want your quote to be removed!

~The important (part) isn't how well we do or don't know you--the important part is that everyone on the CB is here for you when you need it (whether or not we're all 40-year-old men who sell garden gnomes in Kentucky and we're all just lying to each other and none of us really know each other). — Chaser and Jay (on whether anyone in the CB really knows each other)

~As for me, I have a really weird real name, but spontaneously want to change it to ‘Sequoia.’ IT HAS ALL FIVE VOWELS!!!

*shocked in seven languages*

That is simply the most amazing thing to me right now.” -Jaybells (btw, Euphoria in the favorite SI brought to my attention that the word "euphoria" is also an example of this amazing phenomenon. Excluding y and w of course (yes, w is also a sometimes vowel too! You can learn awesome stuff researching random things!)

~ *Reaches in the depths of my mind* 

*Comes out with the recipe for spaghetti*

Now that can't be right... -Piano Man

~ One word can describe my life....

CHOCOLATE -Emekittycon Kitten

~ learning the alphabet today, conquering the world tomorrow.

*maniacal laughter ensues* -Phoenix Tears

~ I win! (Although Admin is the ultimate winner...) -Little Sister (about LTP)

~ Chatterbox is my lil nonsense world and i love it :) -CelesteOfTheGoldMoon

~ My characters have infinitely more eventful summers than I do... -Artemis 

~ I wonder why dads get all the credit for bad jokes...? -Hex

~ my brother: let's sing hamilton

me: ughhhhhhhh no i'm tired of hamilton we listen to it ALL the time i don't want tooooooooooooo lets do something else

him: ....

him: lafayette-

me: I'M TAKIN' THIS HORSE BY THE REINS MAKIN' REDCOATS REDDER WITH BLOODSTAINS-- -Tsuki the Skywolf

And… yep, I went overboard again. Even with the random deleting. Sorry. Also, could I add a few thread to check please? Just... uhh... 2. Maybe 3.  For the first one, I came across this lovely thing: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/488963 , accompanied by: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/482921 and the earlier CB video (yes, I count this all as one. Include what you want): http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/373078 . For the second, this made me laugh so so so hard I recommend reading everything when you have the time and if if you want to (sometimes I'm just walking around living life and then I'll think of one of these quotes and just burst out laughing, like I literally cannot not): http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/464936. And, for the third, perhaps a recap (even if it's slightly confusing) of the history of the MCU?: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/thismonth/node/474428

Anyways, thank you admins for posting all this! I think August is admin Appreciation month, and if so, then happy admin appreciation! Though this could rly be every month...
