Make a Friend
A few years ago, I came up with the idea for Make a Friend (which was originally called "Get to Know Each Other," actually), and a lot of people liked it and we've had many Make a Friends since then. So here's one for December - start the year off with a new friend!
Fill out this form, please:
CBer Name:
Pronouns:

Now, a lot of times people turn in their forms after the due date. I'm sorry, but I can only put you in a group if you're on time. If you're late, though, you can join a group with other latecomers or ask others if you can join their group! I'm giving you all until Sunday, December 10 to turn in your forms.

I can still call you Em?!? Seriously?!? Thank you!!!! I've been trying SO HARD to get my brain to call you "Thunder" instead of "Em" and ugh.
