Hi everybuggy!

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hi everybuggy!

Hi everybuggy!

I haven't done a proper intro so I thought I'd do one now:

I'm Miki G. I was just checking out the Cricket website and found the Chatterbox so, yeah. In case anyone wonders, I'm a girl. If there's anything I should know the Chatterbox(ers) please tell me.

Thanks!

 

Welcome, Miki! We're glad you're here.

Welcome, Miki! The Chatterbox is a mildly insane place, but I'm sure you'll get used to it. I am one of the more frequent posters around here, so you'll probably see me around. If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask! 

What kind of hobbies do you have? And do you have any pets?

I like to do aerial silks and trapeze (yeah) and I also enjoy soccer although I'm not on a team. I recently started playing cello and I like to draw and cut paper even though I'm not great at it. We're not allowed to have cats or dogsFrownbecause of our landlord but we have a hamster named Harry who came from the humane society. I have an older brother and I'm half Japanese. I also have a habit of writing etc. a lot. I like modern, contemporary, ballet and African dance.

Heeey. I'm L, known as Leah occasionally. Etc. is one of my favorite abbreviations. I do not dance unless it is dark. I have two dogs, one of which likes to run away (I told a whole story about this earlier-- I believe in the "Quoties" thread). I like to draw and talk about random things.

Mrr.

That's another one of my favorite things. Ugh, now I just got that song stuck in my head. Not that there's anything wrong with it, of course. I love Sound of Music.

I am most definitively ranting now. Good day.

Hiya Miki! My name's Red and I'm one of the rarer sights on the Chatterbox: a boy (there's only about 3 of us, right now). Well, now you can check that off your Chatterbox bingo sheet. I post pretty often, usually when I don't feel like doing homework or when I'm bored. It will be great to see you around!

Tippy top! My captcha welcomes you too, it says bpki. Which sounds kind of like Miki...

I exist. I'm another guy. The last one is Zach L, but we don't see all that much of him anymore.

Currently there's a world-domination thing happening in the "Hello everynyaa" thread. You are welcome to join our side! We have lemmings! And I believe we get Nova Scotia next (where I happen to live)? I'm working on it. Thanks for the dragon, Red.

Yeah, Miki, you should join the cool side with the lemmings. I always appreciate having new compadres, and SC won't be able to complain about how I have only males and genderless aliens in my army.

By lemmings do you mean the rodent?

Hey Miki! Nice to meet you! *waves* 

Things you have to know about the Chatterbox:

- If you make a new thread and someone comments on it, it goes to one of the pages in the back. (Someone else can probably explain this better.)

- "Top!", "poke!", "tickle", "kick"(...) is what people do when their thread is in the back.

- RP (Roleplay): (Here's an example from The Tri-Wizard Tournament RP)

1. You make a character. 

Name: Colette Luciferé

Age: 14

Appearance: Curly hip-length blond hair, blue/grey eyes, pale glowing skin, tall, graceful

Personality: a little snobby and a little shy

Blood Status: Pure blood

Family: Mom, Dad and an older sister, Leila

Talents: Good at charms and memorizing stuff  

2. Write as your character. 

Colette-  

I looked at Leila who was sitting next to Madame Albina with prefect posture, not even a strand of her straight hair was out of place. I felt sure that she would be the Triwizard champion. She got the best grades, was the prettiest and best with charms, spells and curses. But I could still dream. I imagined my name being called out and all the glory of being the winner.

Suddenly Ann, who was sitting next to me, nudged my shoulder. "Look out the window, Colette!"

I leaned to look out and caught my breath. A stone castle sat on a cliff over looking a lake. A forest was behind it and I could already see the faces of students peeping out from a bridge over a cavern.

"We're here!" I squeaked.

 

You can check out the RPs in Pudding's Place and Inkwell if you don't understand the concept yet. :)

- RR (Round Robin): Someone starts a story, then another person goes on and so on.

Random Example: 

Person 1: Sarah looked out the train window and sighed. Why did she have to leave?

 

Person 2:  Her Aunt had gotten rid of her and sent her off to live with someone she'd never met. Her whole life was made up of bad things... 

 

Hope to see you around! :D

Óla! Como é você?

And no, I'm not Portugese.  I just had a random compulsion to speak in that language. :)

I'm Mattie- nice to meet you.  I'm the resident Muse freak, Tolkienist, fanfiction writer, and everything else.  

I hope you enjoy yourself- it's insane fun around here, as I'm sure you'll find out.

Well, elen síla lúmenn omentielvo, and see you around!

Salutations, young grasshopper.  The Holmes name is Gollum.  The Gollum is the other resident Tokien freak.  Well also fan girl about Daniel Pinkwater and randomly mourn Augustus Waters.  Velcomin. 

Spammmy/Spambox/(fill in the blank): The "What code is in the image?:" screen.  Most of us name ours, and translate what they say sometimes.  You will see threads like this on occasion.  The traditional names are Spammy or Spambox, but they can range from Chikuu to Tobi.  Choose your spambox wisely.

Spamster in his spamster cage says mgbi.  Another Miki!  ish

I still don't really get the spambox thing.

The captcha code that you have to type in to submit a post. People name it, and say what it tells them to type.

I named mine Spambert Spamstein because it told me emxc once. Right now he says fuvz. Fuzz!

Hi Miki! I am True S., one of the rather sane posters.

I am 10 years old, a writer, and also half Japanese. Where do you live? How old are you? Have you ever been to Japan?

I am also 10! Almost 11 though. I live in Wisconsin and have been to Japan 6 times.
