Ug... remembering my first role-play is a nightmare..
I joined summer of 2013 and I'm pretty savvy with the site. I remember when I joined, my step sister had been talking about it (this was only a little while after me and my siblings moved in) and it was one of the best bonding experiences! Me, my sister, and my new step-sister were all sharing websites and my step-sister got us to join. I.Was.Hooked. Even though I was a coppa (and coppa's didn't have trade messages back when I was one so their were a lot of frustrating things in trades) I enjoyed the site and sat around on it all summer! I remember the sleepywood event being my first, one time I almost stayed up all night to collect tokens on it, haha I remember hearing my dads, who is a really early riser, footsteps upstairs. I shut down the computer and raced to my room as fast as I could. When he opened the door to the downstairs where the computer desk and my room are located I had just turned out my lights and threw a blanket over myself!
The biggest find has to be role-playing! I was clicking around one day for tokens when I stumbled on a role-play... something about cs pets and a Halloween theme or something of the sorts, and I started reading it. After I had gotten to the point where it sputtered out and no one was really posting anymore, I was itching to try role-playing! I was still coppa at that time but as soon as my birthday hit I started my first role-play (looking back now I was horrible then, but you have to start somewhere

) and that's where I found my love for it! Though I had always been writing about characters and about book ideas this really has launched my writing even further. Now I have billions of OC's that I love so much and I still role-play when ever I have free time!
Chickensmoothie was the first real forum-type website I had ever been on, and a really great community made it even better! It's helped me and my step-sister bond and talk to one another even to this day, and my writing skills have improved so much! I've shown multiple friends though only one has really stayed active (though I might have scared them off by my continuous chatter about it

). Overall, this website has a warm-welcoming-community that I appreciate and love to death!
Thank you all staff and members for making this website what it is!
