REVIVE THE LAKEHOUSSEE

I can't believe how fast the time has gone by!

Yeah, it was definitely the 27th because I joined literally the day after the sixth month anniversary and that was a 28th. I remember because there was a banner up to celebrate.

Joining this place was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've gotta thank Satine for sending Blue that review asking her to join, because if I hadn't been lurking in Blue's reviews I never would have found TLF.

HAHA STALKEERRRR JK ;D (and of course never forget the Star Wars fish even tho that had nothing to do with TLF XDDDDDDDDDD)

TLF is a place where you can always belong even if you don't have a place to belong in real life XD Like, I have some fantastic real life friends, and at least a couple of them I'd say I'm closer with than my internet friends, but ever since youth group ended for me and I'm in this weird stage of not really being anywhere, I don't really have a place other than the house I live in to really belong to a community; but I have you girls! ;3

I agree! The Lakehouse really helped me out after my closest friends at the time pretty much all left me. Now I've made some of awesome friends on here and other places online, which was just awesome!

I love how TLF has helped us all find a place to belong! I remember in 8th grade i had just made the transition from homeschool to my old private school, and I was having a difficult time fitting in with my old friends, and I didn't have enough time to hang out with my homeschool friends. During the first two months, y'all were my main friend group!

Yeah, there have been multiple times when I've always come back to TLF in the midst of life changes and loneliness. Particularly right now, I'm not lonely, but even then, you're all still here! :3

You know, I always thought you guys were celebrities kind of, no joke. I had found a lot of the admins blogs and stuff and knew you guys went to Celebration so when I joined I was nervous and scared about what you guys would be like until I got on the chat and realized you were girls just like me

Aww we love you GS!!

I think it's cool how in the midst of how people sometimes think people aren't being themselves on the internet, I can totally be myself on here and I can even pick out when I'm being myself, and it's fun XD

Exactly right, Blue, totally agree. When I have to be a prim and proper girl (according to my mother ) in the real world I can be geeky fangirl self here and not worry what people will say about me

You're a great geeky fangirl!

I like to observe my own text patterns and notice how I articulate things over the internet which is usually a lot more clear and precise than in real life XDDDD I've gotten a lot more used to articulating my thoughts over the internet throughout the past year because my best friend lives an hour away from me so I talk to her primarily online XD

Aww, thanks ^_^

Totally agree. Since talking to you girl on here and several on skype I've found my writing and spelling has really improved. For wanting to be a writer my spelling isn't very good so talking to you all has really helped XD

Its so funny to look back and see how much TLF has changed our lives. Either taking us to another place to get away from the real one we live in or to just have a place be ourselves. I know it really helped me as a first time fangirl and If I hadn't have joined I wouldn't have met my best friend that now I couldn't live without. Just to think a URL address changed so many of use to who we are today...

Yeah!!! It's really cool to look back on :3 And to look forward to :3

Very

Okay! NaNo is over, I'm back! What's up??? What'd I miss??? Are we doing a Christmas gift exchange-thing this year???

WOOHOO YAY :3333

Oooooh I don't know, are we? I'd love to help with it if people want to do it.

*Hugs Ahsoka* Yay! Your back! Not like we don't talk every day

*HUGS GS* Right. 'Course not. XD

If we can't do something "Officially" Maybe you and I can put something together, Blue. xDDD I was seriously looking forward to this year because, unlike last year, I'm not so sick that I can't see straight. XDD ...And I'm not hallucinating like the year before... Seriously, I talked to "myself", which was actually a specific character I'd chosen apparently. XDD I "tackled" them. Definitely could have used a little more mental clarity. XD

Welcome back Ahsoka! Yes, I would love to do a gift exchange this year! We should totally arrange something!

Yeah sure! Do you want to start a topic for it, Ahsoka, or should I?

Whichever. If You want to, you can, if you want me to, I can. xDD Just let me know. XDD

I suppose I'll let you do it :3 But if you need any help with it lemme know :3

Truth be told, I could use all the help I can get. XDD

Ok! Just lemme know when you put up the topic so I can find it and what I can do to help!

Topic's up! (Sorry that took so long) Any suggestions and help are very much appreciated. XD

I have been listening to the same song non-stop for the past few hours, and it is THE most repetitive song I have EVER heard in ALL my LIFE. It gets stuck in your head so easily! XD Anyone else have this problem?

Cool I'll go check it out

XDDDDD I know songs like that!! My best friend sent me a short song she wrote and I listened to it on repeat for like 2 hours
