Pre-log
For all the over-emotional ranting the last couple of years of how Catie Wayne, the real person behind Boxxy, life was being destroyed even by people like me who previously would not use her name or give details of where she lived and went school; it appears she's fine.
She's so fine that she's now decided to come back, and embrace the Boxxy love. So here's a middle finger to all of you from iheartboxxy, youtube, and else where who came at me with your inane, emotional diatribes about how I should take down all Boxxy content to protect her, as if erasing my documentation was going to make people either lose interest or somehow forget she existed. Or that somehow taking down my content would stop the information from being out there in the same places I got it from, or would erase history.
Boxxy's Return
Apparently Boxxy is having financial troubles in paying for colleg, and on November 18, 2010 she took to ebay with a new pictures of her self, hawking a bag for sale.
Of course in wanting proof that this was really new and the pic of her holding the bag was really her, in chan tradition the internetz demanded a time stamp from her, and they got it. Boxxy was back on the interwebz:
A different childhood bag of hers was confirmed to have sold for $1,000.
Boxxy Returns to the Chans
Boxxy would next take to Unichan, basically the last remaining Boxxy forum since Iheartboxxy shutdown based on the aformentioned belief that they were protecting her by not mentioning her; and iloveboxxy went to shit.
Unichan is another imagebord site, which actually was not originally created for Boxxy. It was a school project basically used by the creator and his friends. After posting died out there, in the summer of 2009, regulars of BoxxyChanTk migrated over to Unichan and "moved in". Probably because BoxxyChanTk was a shitty format of a website, and was annoying to use.
Unlike other Chan's that have multiple different form pages on the site dedicated to different topics (though most of them all surround degenerates posting anime or kiddie porn of some sort) all titled with a different letter of the alphabet, unichan just has one board. And where /b/ is the random board on almost every other chan known to man, b just stands for Boxxy on Unichan.
Catie, or Boxxy is now a semi-regular there, interacting with her faithful followers. She mentions the chan in both of her new videos.
A New Hope
On November 25 Boxxy dramatically returned to video with her youtube clip "A New Hope.wmv", under the channel username anewhopeee. Named after the first Star Wars movie, this new video contains a clip from that movie of R2D2 delivering Princes Leia's message to Obi-wan Kenobi via video projection from the robot. But instead of leia's words from the film, Boxxy transposes her own words, addressing "Uninites" (what Unichaners call themselves) who "years ago served my cause in the chan wars", as opposed to clone wars in the movie. She ask them to help restore her channel.
She can be seen in very dark and grainy video dressed up as leia, where you can't really make her out. She would later release pictures of herself in that outfit.
Finally, on January 11, she returned to the video blog format (or vlogging format), looking straight on into the camera, talking to the viewer. With no make up, and her now classic hipster (or whatever)styled hair pulled up, she address her status as Boxxy, and both the internet hate and love; to a degree.
She starts the video off in a hyper, high pitched voice, as if the Boxxy the internets knows is about to explode out at us again, but then in seconds goes into speaking in a normal tone as herself instead of the character. She address her followers at unichan; says she couldn't get into the place where she could do the Boxxy Character (apologizing for sounding like a "dramatic actor"), yet gives a couple of seconds of Boxxy at that point; and vows to soon provide a new video that won't be like the old Boxxy videos, but she thinks people will like.
After a month there's no new video, the old Boxxybabee channel has not been restored, and all seems quiet on the Boxxy front.
...for now.

Catie, So I was just looking at Youtube for the video called "My name is Boxxy - The Original" that I'd had bookmarked but now it's gone under a copy right claim from you. So I really thought that Boxxy chick was awesome, and Catie I would like to know how you could claim copyright on a video that isn't even yours. You are Catie not Boxxy, so how did you have a video get taken down on copyright claims that isn't even a video of you?
ReplyDeletePlease send me a link where I CAN get it as it was one of my favorite of the Boxy videos.
Now that I'm reading about the triumphant return, I have to say I'm beginning to feel better again... at least I've stopped listening to that Regina Spektor track any way...
