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!

Ellie! Woooo-hoo! Hi! Welcome back! Yeah! How've you been? That's too bad about your twitter account. Whoa, you have an iPhone 6s?!
***Pants***
Anyway, I'm really glad you're back. There are a few things you should know: In the time you have been gone, a bunch of oldies and middies (I know the Admins don't like when we use these terms, but I'm using them just for clarification) left, and then a bunch more oldies and middies came back on. Also there has been a bit of bitterness about the state of the Cb in general, but that's all behind us now! I'm only telling you so that you'll understand the situation better.
Anyway, it's great to see you again!

I have no idea who you are except from what I gathered when I was scrolling through BaB collecting data for some statistics and research. I'm Scylla, and joined on October seventh last year. Welcome back, anyway!
+Cho & Shadow, this isn't a competition! I'm sure both of your books are lovely. Yours are like twice as long as mine so you should be proud!

*blinks* I wasn't thinking of it in that way. I just wanted to state a fact.

I don't know you. I haven't been around long, but hi!
I kinda just wanted to mention that I also think StacyPlays is AWESOME!

Hello, Ellie! Nice to meet you. I'm Aquina W. Atlantean and future marine biologist. The cat in my arms is Wingnut, my cat/fish CAPTCHA. Wingnut: Wvhn. O-kay...
Hi again!!

Hi Ellie, I was here when you left but I go under a different name now. It is good to have you back!!! Gosh, a lot of old CBers are back.

Hey Ellie! Welcom back!
Strictly speaking, I've been on here since last March, so you probably know me. I don't know how well you remember me, though, so I'll introduce myself again. I love to read, write, read, read, read, read, and read. I am 14 years old, quite shy, kind of innocent, and extremely old-fashioned. Anyway, nice to see you again!
(January 30, 2016 - 5:56 pm)
Of course I remember you, Booksy! Nice to see you, too.

Hi Ellie!!
I don't know if you remember me, but I remember you!! So, welcome back! :D
(January 31, 2016 - 5:53 pm)
Of course I do, Joss! Nice to see you!

Ellie! It's cool to see you!

You too, friend and trusty caterer!
