What date did you register as a CS member?: January of 2009.
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 10,575.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7 all year 'round. Excluding the occasional Vacation, going to my dad's house, etc.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? 6-8 during summer, 3-4 during school.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required): I know a lot about the website, and how it runs. I can help people with how to change their signature, Avatar, Block PM's, Change the usual CS green border, etc. I've already helped a few people who haven't understood something on here, who've asked me. Personally, I find that explaining something over and over is kind of fun, I have to explain a lot of things already over and over at school, to my friends; So I'm quite used to it already. I am good with solving arguments, and staying calm throughout the argument. I'm good with solving problems as well, and find it fun, as well as helpful to solve others problems. Given that I get in quite a few arguments myself, but I do answer respectively and calmly at the other person, trying not to continue it any longer. Sometimes I get those once-in-a-while bad days, but that hardly happens anymore, but if it does, sometimes I prefer not to talk to anyone. Mainly I don't get them though, so I think that I will be fine to speak calmly to members. I like to welcome new members; I don't normally post on the Introductions Board, but sending a new person a free pet or two, and welcoming them lets them feel more comfortable to the site. It also gives them the idea that this is a friendly site for people to chat, trade pets, have auctions, etc. I'm not too good with trade-value, I know the basic's of it, like dates, rarity, high demand etc. Other than that, I'm completely lost. English is the only language I can speak fluently, I know some french, but only the basics, like "Hello." or "Could I go to the _____" and that's about it. I know a tiny bit of Croatian, but not enough to actually be able to make any use of it. I also have a quite cheerful attitude, and it normally helps me make friends around the site. My cheerful attitude could be directed towards the new members/Introductions board/CS Suggestions and Problems board. I'm good with using the oekaki as well, I know everything there is to know about the oekaki if anyone needs to ask about it, I'm all set to help. Also, I'm good at pointing people in the right direction when it comes to things. If they don't know where to post to get started, I would help them get a step in the right direction.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I would like to become a General Helper so people will be less confused on the site. I see a lot of people asking things like "How do I change ____?" or "I don't know how to do ______! Help?" I want to be able to help them, all while having a good time, joking around, and being friendly towards the user. Also, it would be fun to introduce new members to the site, and also help older members who don't understand something on the site. Going to the introductions Board, and reading people introducing themselves, and introducing myself back, and helping them with anything would be quite a lot of fun. I enjoy reading about other people, and their interests, and helping them with anything they need help with. At times it does get a little annoying when people type in chatspeak to me, but I can understand what they're saying, and still help them with their problems. I also find it absolutely thrilling when you're name is a different color then others, as you stand out to people, so they know they can ask you for advice, and get help. Also; I want to be chosen as someone who doesn't abuse their privilege of being a General Helper, like being rude to member, or anything like that. I don't abuse a privilege if I get one. I also would like to be a general helper, because it helps expand my horizons of warming up to people. I don't know a lot of people on the site, and I think it would be a lovely idea to meet more. I enjoy talking to random users, as long as their kind and polite, and not rude towards other members. If they are rude towards other members, then I'll try to coax them out of it, and try to make them a kinder user here. If they are just all out rude to everyone, and I can't help them with their problem, then they'll have to suffer the consequences of moderators. I also would like to become a General Helper, just to have fun with other users, and joke around with them. Sometimes I can help them in the process as well, and even make some new friends. Also, I would like to be one just so members feel less lost around here, and so that they get a step in the right direction when they start here.
It's exciting to see the applications open for this, and I thank you for your time reading this.
Good luck to everyone. ^^

Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.
