What was it like being the fixation of /b/ for so long?

Also, how did you react when they tried to come to your house?

It was an experience. Sometimes negative, sometimes positive. But that's to be expected of a large group of people with differing opinions.

When they came to my house, my jimmies were ruffled.

On a scale of 1 to UFOOKENWOTM8? how mad are you about reddit going down right at the start of your AMA?

UFOOKENWOOOOOOOOOOOOOTM8?

...when is the next Boxxy video coming out?

this year.

Two questions, if you don't mind.

1. What's your middle name?

2. How was high school, post-Boxxy? Was everyone aware of it, or did you manage to keep the popularity a secret? How did your friends react?

1. Awesome. My middle name is Awesome. :3
2. High school was pretty rough. Everyone was aware, and everyone made damn sure I knew they were aware. :p I learned who my real friends were very quickly, as they continued to call me by my real name. Others insisted upon calling me Boxxy.

If you knew what the consequences would be for making the Boxxy videos, would you still have made them?

While the immediate consequences were pretty jarring, the long term consequences have been pretty amazing. So yes, I would still have made them. (:

How frequently do you go to 4chan these days?

Not too often. I lurk /mlp/ from time to time, but that's about it. I occasionally check on /b/.

How has your family reacted to, or thinks about, your internet popularity and now having a job through a YouTube channel?

FYI, you're a pretty rad gal.

My immediate family thinks it's pretty cool and interesting. My extended family (or anyone over 35 for that matter) is baffled and confused. They just can't wrap their brain around it! :p

How much eyeliner do you go through in a year

When I did the Boxxy eyeliner, I'd go through one stick a month. Now, maybe two bottles a year. :p

Do you still talk to you old Gaia buddies?

Some of them, yes. 4DD1 and I still talk occasionally. :p

Was it hard being away from the internet for so long?

yes. o___o

What's the weirdest place someone recognized you?

At my old job as a lifeguard. I think... yeah. I mean, idk. What constitutes a "weird place?"

You seem to like Star Wars, so my questions are...

1.) Your favorite movie?

2.)Light Side or Dark Side?

3.)If you had a lightsaber what color would it be?

1. Empire. (duh)
2. Dark
3. Blue

You can't be on the dark side and have a blue lightsaber. (duh)

Edit: thank you to the more than ten now people who have pointed out that this is not the case.

those weren't the queshtuns. it didn't ask what side i would be on, it asked what side i liked better. the dark side has better actors. if star wars was REAL, i would be a jedi, and have a blue lightsaber. (duh)

:p

Did you enjoy playing the character of boxxy? or did you do it for your fans?

I do enjoy playing her. The reason why I don't portray her more often is because I don't want to force her. Boxxy videos come out when she feels like coming out. (:

Hey catie. I met you at vidcon and you were so sweet. How did it feel when you realized that boxxy had spread accross the internet as a meme?

Hi! I hope to see you again this year! I felt shocked. It took me a while to really comprehend it all.

Are you in any way, shape or form related to Bruce Wayne?

I mean...

What is your favorite thing to do outside of youtube or school?

You are a sweet heart! Keep up the good work!

Theatre. :3

What was your inspiration behind the boxxy character? I know you made it for someone, but what inspired the name, the look, and all that stuff :o by the way I love you catie :3

She's a parody of my younger self. Aesthetically emo, internally happy. The name came from my gaia username M o l d yLunchboxx. Boxxy for short. :3

What's your favorite breakfast?

Peanut butter banana waffle sammich.

How do you feel seeing pictures of Boxxy being tampered?

What do you think your "normal" life be like if your Boxxy videos never became famous?

Did you ever get any random gifts/mails in your house from lurkers of the Internet? If so, what were they?

I don't feel anything about the tampered photos, because they have nothing to do with me or who I am. :3

If boxxy never happened... I don't really know. I feel like I probably wouldn't make youtube videos as often as I do now. Probably wouldn't be so wary of internet strangers. :p

I do accept gifts on christmas and my birthday. They are usually very nice thoughtful gifts. :3

What do you do for a living now? Also, do you get sopped on the street as people recognize you?

I work as a host on Animalist News. (: When I leave the cave that is my house, I typically get recognized.

For how much time do you plan to do videos on youtube?

It depends on the video. Sometimes it takes months to plan, other times I just sort of pull it out of mah butt. Weekly schedules are difficult. xD

In a video you mentioned you have an older sister. Any chance she'll make a special appearance in one of your videos?

No. Probably not.

Did you browse 4chan at all during the Boxxy war?

uhm, i'm gonna go with yes.

Are you pleased with yourself for breaking Reddit?

That would be the /r/nfl playoff thread with over 18k comments.

yes. it is likely this.

no. i sware. it wasn't me.

1. Do you enjoy the video "Love and Trolls" because it's one of my favorite music videos ever.

2. How likely are you to pursue theater as a career down the line?

3. What question Should I ask you, and what is the answer?

4. I love you in the most platonic way.

1. Yes. Twas a good remix.
2. It's not likely, it's a certainty.
3. i just...
4. I love you too! :D

Been enjoying your new YouTube channel...any hope for maybe some short films or something greater than a personal blog? Your personalities are great, and given the popularity you could totally write something hilarious.

I would love to branch out into skits and monologues and stuff like that. (:

In the description of "Foar Everywun" it says "but it's really for you, you know who you are" I'm not asking for names but were you mad at someone or did you mean it for a certain group or what did you mean by the doobly doo :p

well if you don't know who it was for, then i suppose it wasn't you. ;D

What's the one thing you wish never happened when you became popular on the interwebz?

I wish it didn't affect my friends and family.

Who's your favorite Star Wars character ever?

Artoo.

Are you going to BABScon?

I HOPE SO. :D

Who was Ant?

My friend. o___o

I'm so happy you did an AMA!

What did you want to be when you were younger?

I've wanted to be an actor for a very long time (since I was six i believe.) But before that I wanted to be a veterinarian. But then I learned that you had to sometimes put the animals down, and while I understood that it was for the animal's own good, the idea of doing it myself broke my heart. So I didn't want to be a veterinarian anymore. :p

If you were forced to end Boxxy (whether it's a made up story about her leaving, you bluntly coming out as Catie during a Boxxy video and saying it, or something along those lines), how would you do it?

edit: I remember you saying that you wouldn't be able to do it on one of your Q&A's, and I thought it would be interesting to see if you would be able to do it. Or at least think of a situation to do it, whether you or someone does it for/with you.

I think if I were to end Boxxy, it'd be her making a final video.

How do you feel seeing yourself "songified" a la the excellent danielson742? I love those videos :D

He is so great and wonderful! It's always a fun experience. (:

Hi Catie! Big fan of CETwC (and everything you do). Anyways, it seems to me that the characters you portray, (Boxxy, Eve, Svetlana, etc) are extensions of your personality. Is this true? And are there other characters that didn't make it to YouTube?

I'd say the only one who is an extension of myself is Boxxy. She's like a parody of myself at a younger age. :3

What is the one desert you consider your guilty pleasure?

dessert? hmmmm. cake. i always feel guilty after cake. good thing i don't really like cake.

Do you think your fame on the internet hampered any dreams you had growing up?

No. I've wanted to be on Broadway since I was a very young girl. I've never changed my mind for a second. (:

Do you have any regrets about birthing Boxxy?

Do people recognize/notice you on the street as Boxxy?

Will you please name a pet or offspring of yours Boxxy?

How long did it take to get off the make-up?

How did you come up with that name, Boxxy?

Have you met this woman?

I love you Boxxy. I really like, rawrawrawr status, like seriously like rawr love you. ^{<3 <3 <3 u catie}

I have no regrets. People recognize me quite often. I will maybe name a pet Boxxy one day. It takes a couple minutes. M o l d yLunchboxx was my gaia username. I have not met that woman, but holy butt I would love to.

Hi Catie! Do you have a favourite band or musician?

Mika.

Hey Catie, been a fan since Jan 2010. I was wondering if you'll sell/make more t-shirts more about the content of Anewhopeee?

I would love to make more t-shirts and stuff for ANewHopeee. (: I'm sure one day I will.

Twilight Sparkle is best pony.

you are incorrect.

Hey Catie!

• Would you consider professional acting besides the internet?
• What's your favorite sport?
• Would you do a "The Silly Sounds Challenge" video? :3
• Can you do a handstand? If so, PROVE IT NAO!

Never stop doing your thing! You're awesome!

• Of course. It's my ambition to be on broadway someday.
• Synchronized Swimming
• Maaayybe. Will consider. :3
• I think? I haven't tried for a while, but I used to be able to.

Who do you think has it harder; you (internet famous people) or hollywood-level celebrities?

Oh goodness, I don't know. I'm not a hollywood level celebrity, so I have no idea what that's like. But I suppose it's nice to be able to afford security when you need it. xD But then, their every living moment is trying to be invaded by paparazzi. That must be awful.

Have you ever been to England?

No, but I'd LOVE to go one day!

Who are you excited to meet at Vidcon this year?

Mostly my fans. That was what made VidCon 2013 so special. (:

Do you regret anything you did? Did your rise to fame had some negative effects on your life?

Of course it did, but I don't regret what I did. (:

If you and Boxxy could hang out together what do you think you two would do?

Watch youtube videos and anime.

Did you actually sell your bag on ebay for like $20k? Love your YT channel by the way!

Lol no. :p <3

Two questions: 1. If you could fit it into your schedule would you upload YouTube videos on more days than just Fridays?

1. If your life was made into a movie who do you think would play as you, and do you think they'd do boxxy just as good?

1. With my new job, it's going to be hard enough to keep my weekly schedule up. :p
2. I've been asked this many times, but being an actor, I don't think I'd want anyone to play myself, but me. :p At least for now!

hey! glad you're doing this! Did you see today's MLP? What did you think? I think it might just be the best episode I've seen...

I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, I'M GONNA WATCH IT WHEN I'M DONE NO SPOILERS.

How much are you enjoying Animalist?

SOOOOOO MUCH. It's such an amazing job! I get to learn and teach about animals every day! :D

I love your boxxy character and your current youtube videos. I recently introduced a co-worker to boxxy. Can I have a hug?

you can have all the hugs. /hug

Hiiii Catie.

I watch your Friday videos so all of my questions are answered for the most part. I just want to tell you you're awesome <3.

thanks kiddo. <3 ;D
