@celestial_mango, do you want to do January? Since I think some time ago you said that you were going to do February but then everything moved up one.
I can do inspirational quotes!

Sorry also forgot Sempreverde asked.
@Sempreverde, are you up to doing the January MCU?

Can I do threads to check?

maybe the lmway could be "what's an item on your bucket list?" or something similar to new year's resolutions?
and i can do the monthly playlist, but only if no one else wants to!

Just wondering, who is hosting the MCU?

I'm really sorry i don't think I'll have time to do CB quotes. Is anyone else up for doing them?

i can't host january, but here's the monthly playlist! january is kind of a hard month to come up with songs for, but i tried to find ones that give off wintry vibes :)
"Glory of the Snow" by Clairo
"Thrown Down" by Fleetwood Mac
"pleaser" by Paris Paloma
"Runaway" by AURORA
"New Year's Day" by Taylor Swift

I can put together a really short MCU if no one else can do it. I don't have that much time, but I do want to have something for the New Year (ofc though, I think we should remember that if we can't get an MCU out for a month, that's okay!). And @WildWolf, I can do CB quotes too
(December 31, 2024 - 7:31 pm)
I could host. The only problem would be it'd probably come out later in the day--I am on the CB around 5-7pm Pacific time--but I'd be up for it.
(December 31, 2024 - 8:45 pm)
Okay, that'd be great if you're up for it @Seadragon! Thank you! :)
I'll still try to get some CB quotes up tomorrow (bit late...)

So, either we could wait until later in the month and have a longer MCU, or we could just put out a short one today with pangolin’s Monthly Playlist, Celine’s CB quotes, and “What’s on your bucket list?” for the LMWAY. I’m personally in favor of the short one today...I’ll also do Important Dates.
In November, zoba_tea asked the question for the LMWAY in the MCU and then had everyone answer in the comments below, which is what I think I might do.

CB quotes!
"i was one of the many new cbers who joined during the pandemic—it was such a fun, vibrant, hopeful, and welcoming community, and i honestly don’t know how i would’ve gotten through the pandemic without it. i’m so grateful for all of those people who chatted with me, rped with me, supported my writing, and taught me about aes and ski lodges and topping (i thought “top” was an annoying spammer who would post long strings of comments but wouldn’t write anything XD) when i first joined, even though many of those people are no longer active (though quite a few still are, ofc :D)." - pangolin, pangolin's cbversary thread <3
"*charges in slow motion with 'Carol of the Bells' playing in the background*
*Dramatically snatches Santa hat off and tossed it away*
You are no longer rulerrrrrr" - Hawkstar, LTP thread
"The US faked the moon landing by going to the moon and filming it there, because they didn't have the technology to film it on Earth." - Sinusoidal Polyglot (Sine signed his name just "Sinusoidal" here, though), Theory thread
"clothes companies make women's pockets small so they'll buy bags" - Darkvine, Theory thread
"Guys I think I know which song I am. Try to guess... (don't overthink it)" - Piano Man, CBers as Songs thread
"Potato chips are really, really good dipped in cottage cheese." - WildWolf, Unpopular Opinions thread
"I'm sad the CB doesn't seem to have as many new CBers :( growing up the CB was such a great influence & inspired me to start my entire creative writing journey. I feel like gen alpha could definitely use a positive internet space like the CB instead of whateverother sites." - Ditto, Random Thoughts/Things
"A cat appeared at my house day after Christmas... He's the sweetest everrrr
We've been calling him Sage, and we're not sure if he has owners or not, but I'm hoping he doesn't so we can keep him <3" - Hawkstar, Random Thoughts/Things
"New discovery!If you're on a site and you don't have Wifi you can use the site if you don't try to change pages. If you want to be on CB in the car, get on a commenting page before then." - Climate Bee, Random Thoughts/Things
"bOoKs aRe aN eNdAnGeReD sPeCiEs, wE mUsT sAvE tHeM hUmAnS aRe cUtTiNg dOwN tHeIr hOmEs
(sorry if that was hard to read...)
(and also sorry for the little comma splice, why are comma splices so visually appealing?)" - Lyric, Random Thoughts/Things
"one time my grandpa made me eggs with egg nog instead of milk bc he didn't read the bottle. it tasted really gross >:P
and then he ate the rest of it so i guess he liked it" - Elly, Random Thoughts/Things
"aaah my girlfriend is the best I love her sm <333" - Rainbow, Random Thoughts/Things
"the other day I walked into my dad's work-from-home office with the intention of asking him a question. instead I let out the loudest and most violent sneeze of my entire life and walked out without saying anything. neither of us acknowledged it for days" - Darkvine, Random Thoughts/Things
"right?? i can't believe 2024 is almost over -- 2025 still sounds like Generic Sci Fi Year Of The Distant Future to me" - pangolin, Random Thoughts/Things

Ooh, those were a lot of quotes... maybe take out the first quote (from pangolin) and other stuff if you want to... and I'd rather the shorter, sooner version, but both are good! :)
(January 1, 2025 - 5:55 pm)
The sooner, shorter version is coming very soon. I will take out quotes (thanks for considering that I might want to) but I might not take out many, since this will be a short MCU.
