      I've already been added to the list and stuff, but can I add myself to other categories? Like, I might try out for role-playing, and add myself to BBCode if permitted. c:

      hello there! i'm lithe, but feel free to call me whale, cheese, cheep, or cheetah. [yes, it's just a coincidence they all start with "ch". i'm an equestrian. c: i love sherlock, supernatural, doctor who, & so much more. i'm somewhat shy at first, so don't expect me to pm everybody. i love role-playing <3

      this is a temporary signature, so i apologize for the horrid coding. cx i'm hopefully going to be getting a quality one soon!

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: I've been on Chickensmoothie for 3 years, and I'm willing to help any newbies that need it, I enjoy it as well.
How often do you get on CS?: I get on Chickensmoothie everyday.
Which categories would you like to apply for?: General Knowledge, Forums, BB Code, Roleplaying, Oekaki, Trading and Pets!
How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?: At least 4+ hours on week days [ during school ] and 6+ hours on weekends. During summer its usually 6+ or more.
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Of course ^^

My last newbie, doesn't PM me anymore so I believe they are all good now!


Roleplay Sample:
Arabella paced around camp looking for something to keep her busy, she was very interested in going on a hunt but would rather not go alone. She thought of taking a nap, considering it more now but decided against it, she wasn't in the mood nor was she tired really. Yawning softly, Arabella shook herself and lay down deciding what to do. She could go out alone, but if she found anything good without enough wolves what could she do? Watch while the prey disappears because she went alone, unable to catch anything too large which she doubted she would find, but the chance was there. She waited for anyone, or anything to pop up and talk to her or find something to do.

[from grey skies and white grounds rp]
Hopefully thats long enough? If not I'll add some more to it uvu

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: I love taking on responsibilities. I am an assistant teacher at my studio and ever since I was young loved helping other with what I know. I am pretty knowledgeable on this site and I wish that I had the help that other get. This site is confusing, but I figured it out and would be happy to show another around.
How often do you get on CS?: Every day or at longest every other day, so at least 4 times a week.
Which categories would you like to apply for?: General Knowledge, Forums, Trading and Pets, and I would like to take the rarities test.
How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?: At least 30 minutes collectively each visit. Sometimes more but I also have other obligations.
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Always, I would love to try and help someone.
94% of people think that wolves are vicious, evil animals. Copy and paste this into your signature if you're one of the 6% who love wolves and think they are shy and amazing creatures. I want to save all animals, please copy and paste "Save wild Animals" on your signature then pm me and you could win a free pet! ;)

What areas do you want explained?: I basically want like an overall "walkthrough" of the site, with tips included (on how to carry myself through the site, what is there to do, how do I make friends, etc.)
Do you speak another language, and if so which one?: I speak English as a first language but I speak Polish, French, Spanish and Chinese as well (just in case there's an issue).
How did you find Chicken Smoothie?: I had seen it a while back and had never made an account. Just recently my friend who's obsessed with it told me about it and I decided I'd make an account this time. She isn't very good at explaining and she told me herself she doesn't use this site to it's full potential, so she can't show me around.
What do you like best so far?: I really love the designs on all the adoptables! They're all so unique and creative and so freaking gorgeous!
Any questions?: When can I start? ;)

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?:
Whether I should or not in is in the eyes of the moderators/judges, thought I personally believe that I should because I enjoy helping out members. I believe that they deserve a hand with at least the basics of CS, as the site can seem a bit intimidating if you don't know your way around. I enjoy giving advice on a number of subjects, and actually tried helping a few from the "Newest Member" tag at the bottom of the forums page, (though I don't believe many of them appreciated it :/) giving them tips on adopting and trading, etc.. Whenever my friend joined, I showed her around a bit as well, explaining where the buttons were for several things, mainly to do with private messages. I also have been a member for just over two years, and understand various aspects of the site to some extent.

How often do you get on CS?:
Several times a week. During breaks from school, I can get online at least once a day for an hour or more. During the school year (which begins August 15 this year; from roughly 6:30-3:30 CST Monday-Friday (not counting time spent after school on various activities.).), I try to log in at least once a day for either half an hour or an hour, though it may be every other day or so.

Which categories would you like to apply for?:
  • General Knowledge
  • Forums
  • BB Code
  • Roleplaying (Example below form- While many of my posts are not this long, they all run about the same quality, which I would run at about semi-literate. However, the length is dependent also on the others that I'm roleplaying with; if their posts run longer and more descriptive, mine as well do as I have more to work with.)
  • Trading and Pets

How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?:
I would say about an hour, on average. Of course, the time can vary from either more or less, but at the very least 30 minutes. Usually, though, it is for more, especially on the weekends.

Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?:
Of course! I can say that finding someone kind or that is willing to help, can be difficult. Though I may not be the most qualified for the job, I do promise that regardless I will answer any and all questions that I can for them, and do so with a smile each time. ^^

She turned to him, growling loudly again. She put her leg down down, covering the bottoms of her feet. "A few scrapes on my under paws," she spat, anger once again dragging her from exhaustion. She glared at him, her blue eyes now looking directly into his amber ones. "I got them all today while looking for your packs' pups. Though I can see when my offer of help isn't appreciated." She kept her paws planted firmly in the ground, so he couldn't see that they were much more than scrapes. Her broken leg, luckily to her, had no outer signs of injury, and couldn't be detected unless someone felt it and messed with the bone. There was not a way in the world she would let this brute mess with her; perhaps a healer could, if the pack had one. She ignored his show of dominance, her tail out straight behind her. She kept it behind her rather than in the air, and held her right front leg in place without obviously putting no weight on it.
If she was trying to seem like she wasn't infected, she was terrible job of it. This brute most likely thought she was rabid, and would chase her out to half across the earth. She closed her eyes and let her head down in one motion, her ears laying against her skull. She dropped her tail an fell onto her haunches, her tail laying loosely on the ground behind her. She lifted her head a bit to look at him, her eyes filled with sadness and defeat. Her paw raised from the ground to the space in front of her, and she turned it so her paw pad was showing. It was torn incredibly, with pieces of it too the point where they could be pulled back to reveal the innards. Each of her paw pads were this way, and the right leg which she held out was broken with the bone sides starting to shift away from each other. They were still in place enough to look straight, though the break that ran across the width of the bone gave off pain she'd never felt, and moving the leg uncradled into the air brought the weight of gravity on it and only made it feel worse. She gave in to the urge to ran away with her tail between her legs and sat still, waiting for the brute to look at her injuries and discover her leg.

"My paws have each been like this since earlier today. I was running through the mud and didn't see all of the sharp things and be able to avoid them. And my leg has hurt since earlier as well, though I don't know what from. I fear it may be broken but I don't know what from." Her voice was soft, not with anger as it had been before. It was now filled with either fear, sadness, defeat, or a mix.

    Roleplay Sample wrote:When the male called out to her, she stopped and turned her head to look at him. Once he spoke his name she smiled and nodded her head. "Nice to meet you, however, the situations are awkward. We will have to properly meet when you are healed, or at the very least, in the morning .. if you feel better." She then exited the room with a smiled on her face. Latching the door in place, she looked around her living room and let out a muffled sigh. She didn't know what to do and she wasn't much a sleeper with the war going on. She considered bathing and decided it was best to wait until morning, since it was already dark out. Looking back at the closed door behind her, she considered another thought but shook it off. Walking out of the living room she made her way to her bed room in the dark. When she made it, she opened the door and looked around the dimly lit room. She had forgotten to blow out the candle and was thankful it was there.

    Walking to her closet, she pulled out a night gown and then made her way towards her bed. Stripping of the blood stained dress she was wearing, she slid on the night gown and then took the time to braid her hair. Now finished, she tied it off with a blue ribbon and smiled. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she noticed the bags under her eyes and frowned. She most definitely had not been getting enough sleep since the war. Shaking off the feeling she blew out the almost melted candle and lit another one. Carrying the freshly lit candle into the kitchen she grabbed a cloth and some medicine. May as well keep herself busy, she thought. Turning, she noticed her dinner she never ate and let out a grunt. Putting everything else on the counter, she sat down at the table, picked up a fork and then begin eating. She savored the taste of the now almost cold meat and closed her eyes. When it was gone she moved to the grapes she had on her plate and then finished with the bread ignoring the strawberries. Once she was done, she took some of the water from a large bowl beside her and rinsed off the plate and utensils. She then took a cup and scooped some of the water into it before taking the medicine and the cloth with her to the guest room.

    When she was in the bedroom she took the time to look at the male and noticed that the he was fast asleep, however she also noticed the sweat that dappled his forehead. Frowning she took the cloth and dipped it into the water making it boarder line soaking. Wringing out some of it she pressed it to the males forehead and then to his cheeks, temple, and lastly his chin. She took the time to wipe off the dirt and blood before she dipped the towel back into the cup. With the towel now dirty, she exited the room and retrieved two more before returning. Dipping one into the cup again, she wrung it out like the first and then pressed it to the males forehead. She then turned her attention the his wounds taking the bandage off. The frown on her face lifted when she realized it was healing properly. After she cleaned up the wound she put on more medicine and then wrapped it up once again. Sitting down in a chair beside the bed she looked at the male for a long time, studying him. She put him at not much older then she was, probably late twenties. Resting her arm on the arm rest, she continued to study him but it was not long before she drifted off.

I'm like the wolf. I'm misunderstood,, powerful, loyal, untameable, and free. Nothing can stand in the way of the most beautiful creature on earth.
Put this in your siggy if it applies to you4% of people think that wolves are vicious, evil animals. Copy and paste this into your signature if you're one of the 6% who love wolves and think they are amazing creatures.

90% of people think dragons are creepy as heck. But 7% of people say dragons would destroy everything if they were real. 2% set off to find some dragons, but fail. Put this on your siggy if you are in the 1% of people who would be by a dragon's side forever.
