Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Greetings CBers and Cricketeers!
Hello! Yes, that's right. Your old friend Ellie is back! As you can tell, not much has changed. Except everything. And I know you're wondering: Whoa, dude! Where ya been? That or: Who are you? Well, all of these wonderings will soon be answered.
Here's the deal: I turned 13 and got a phone. That pretty much sums it up. I also got a Twitter account. then some annoying, creepy, inappropriate weirdo requested to follow me. I guess we all should have done more research before I was given permission to post my happy little fangirly comments to the entire world. So now I'm Twitter-less again.
I've also gained interest in much more musicians in these 4 months. Sure, before I liked Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter (who's not my absolute favorite anymore. Sorry, Sabrina!) Pentatonix (kinda), Taylor Swift, and Taylor Swift (see the point?). But now I have a bigger list of strong women who make me want to turn up the volume. Some are YouTubers, but they're all awesome. Of course there's Taylor, but also Alessia Cara, Lindsey Stirling, Little Mix (Leigh-Anne, Jade, Jesy, and Perrie!), Tori Kelly, Rachel Platten, Superwoman aka Lilly Singh, Daya, Grace Helbig, StacyPlays aka Stacy Hinjosa, Lily Marston, Joslyn Davis, and Karlie Kloss (don’t search them all up if you’re looking for something 100% kid-appropriate).
In my free time, I was watching videos ; I was playing Agar.io, Pop Dash, Subway Surfers, Fruit Ninja, Candy Crush, and other useless games; I constantly checked Snapchat; I listened to music and the radio; I was styling, voting, and spending on Covet Fashion; I was messing with every app on that iPhone 6s of mine. I wasn’t spending anytime here or writing. But I’m cutting back on everything now. Because it was different without you guys. I was without any Cricket at all. My magazine subscription even ended! But now Ellie’s back. How are you guys!? Who’s still here? Please, introduce yourself if you’ve come on in the last 4 months. Now my Cricketing shall commence!

I missed you so much! Glad you're back! *confetti goes everywhere, hear have some cake* Right now the CB Olympics are going on! If you want to join I think you can ask Will. He created it.
Once again, welcome back! We all missed you!

P.S. Pentatonix is AWESOME! Who is your fave? Mine is probably Mitch. Lindsey rocks!

Kristie's cool, but I don't officially have a favorite. I'm not a huge fan, but I think their music is absolutely amazing! I think Avi needs more recognition. Like, for a while I completely forgot he existed! Nice 2 c u 2!

Aiya mellon. I joined in October, and have been a faithful Cricketeer since. (Probably because the Cb helped me get through a dryer fire.) (Long story) I am also a Rp geek. Seriously. I have written one fifty printer page long book, and am working on another, hopefully longer book. (Check out PP and BaB thread Charrie sheet)
You won't need any links to any tutorial pages, because you've been here before! So welcome back Ellie! Hope to see you around the Inkwell!

P.S. I know a person named Ellie. Is that your real name?

Hey dude! No, it's a nickname for Eliana (Ellie On Uh).
Gordon says xoch. Ooh who's this Ch girl, Gordon? Someone in love?

You probably don't know me, and I don't really know you, but I'm Bibliophile! Glad your'e back! I came on Cricket in early September, and I love to read, sing, and act. I really like Thai food, dumplings, and most pasta.
I don't know if you were here when this happened, but there was this thing called the nostalgia war. I wasn't there for most of it, but other CBer's explained it like this: A bunch of older CBers left, then some of the CBers were more focused on the CBers who left, intead of the new CBers. Then some of the new CBers were frustrated at the older CBers, and then the older CBers were frustrated with the newer CBers. As you can see, it was a mess, and I think otr (over the rainbow) named it the nostagia war. I'm pretty sure it's over now!
Besides that, Inkwell has a lot of RPs, and some CBers think it's too much. There's some RPs in Down to Earth now. The ski lodges are doing pretty well in Pudding's Place! Sadly, Blab about Books and This Month aren't doing that well though. Chirp at Cricket and Down to Earth are doing well! SIs have made a comeback.
Whoa, that got long fast. I hope you stay on the CB!!!

Hi Ellie! I also got a phone; My very first phone, to be exact. And it was an iphone 6! You seemed to be more surrounded by technology than I am; but then, that may be my parents to blame. (Not that I'm blaming them. I don't think it's exactly right for the mind to use snapchat 24/7.)
I don't think we actually talked in particular, however I do remember you! Nothing much has happened, execpt this new thing called Kyngdom and a startling increase in warriors threads. Besides that, welcome back!
