Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

...Hi.I have

...Hi.

I haven't been here in a while, so I thought I'd stop in here and, well, say hi. (Duh!) Probably most everybody here is new, but once upon a time I was the resident Tolkien geek and nothing more than that, really.

High school kinda happened to me (sophomore year sucks), as did FFn, Tumblr (yep), and several television shows (namely, Sherlock, Supernatural, Game of Thrones, and Doctor Who) that, well, took over the remainders of my sorry existence.

I'm feeling ridiculously nostalgic on the eve of my AP Music Theory exam and also ridiculously like this is awkward and I have nothing else to say, really, except that I probably won't really be back regularly.  Life calls, or rather, my lack of one that consists mainly of long hours on Tumblr and all-night TV rewatching marathons. 

I love all you guys so much.  Seriously.  I don't really know how else to phrase it.   Nai Eru ilyë mánata.

MATTIE OUT.

(Captcha says 'hznz'! Remember ZNZ? Is she still around?)

 

Thanks for checking in, Mattie. Our past Chatterboxers hold a special place in our hearts. We're happy to hear from you anytime.

back to the Chirp at Cricket

Welcome back, Mattie!

Yeah... things have gotten taken over by new people since you left.  I don't think you were here for the Lemming Wars, either.  Maybe you were.  I haven't seen ZNZ in a while.

DFTBA!

Hi, Mattie! I remember you!

Yeah, there are A LOT of new people. I think that there are only about five or six people from when I first came. (I mean as regular posters.)

But welcome back!

And TOP!

Hello Mattie. I am Joe Dosie Doe, the guy who never quite knows! Not really sure what that means, but it rhymes, so it's great by me.

I have been posting on here since February, and have never ceased to post here since. But my sis, Daffodil, was here first. Back then she was Magda S.

I like many things, like... Oz books, Harry Potter (AW MAN NO MORE HP BOOKS), Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus, Marvel movies... the list goes on and on.

So, glad you're here (again)!

Wait... were you just, like, checking in here or do you actually plan to stay here?

Anyway, there's loads of people here that you should know. There's me, Ru-kun (who went by Sakura a while ago), SC, Gollum, L, TNO, (we appear to have a lot of people with all capitol letter names) FantasyQuill (who used to be Tiffany W.), and... I feel like I'm forgetting someone. Qunitus hasn't come by in a while. She might pop up again. 

ZNZ isn't here any more although I remember her. 

Oh, and Ruby says hi (we're at the same computer right now, so we're sharing messages).

Hi Mattie! I think I remember you. Glad you're back!

 

Haha! Cappie has officially repeated himself exactly.

*waves back frantically*

Some of you, like Ima and Gollum, I remember- others are delightful new faces.  Unfortunately, I don't plan to stay permanently.  I may be back, when Facebook is absolutely stagnant (my fault for never using it...) and Tumblr gets a little too crazy even for me, and when my crazy life gives me a spare minute.

SuperWhoLock has now invaded. And I found a website that lets me legally watch Doctor Who online. WIN.

@L- Oh has it!!!!! It was only ever a matter of time.  Well, honestly I'm more into Supernatural than Doctor Who or Sherlock (though I love them too).

And you found a legal site? Good for you.  Honestly, I think all the ones I visit to watch Supernatural and Doctor Who and Sherlock and Game of Thrones are anything but legal.  Oh well.

There's a difference between a site that lets you legally watch something and a legal site. :)

(Generally, putting episodes of a show online without the owners' permission is illegal (in fact, just recording them with a video camera for yourself to rewatcn isn't allowed). Downloading episodes from illegal sources is illegal as well. But there isn't a law against pressing play on a video, no matter how the video got there).

Of course, it's possible that L was indeed referring to a legal site. 

Also, do you know about the Cricket ChatterBoxers* Official** Facebook Group?

*That should have an apostrophe, but I didn't name it.

**It isn't actually official.  See earlier footnote.
