Hi everyone! My

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hi everyone! My

Hi everyone! My name is Graycloud and I am 13 and live in Central Illinois. I have been watching the Chatterbox for a while and have officially decided to join you all. I like to bike and swim and my favorite author is Frances Hardinge who wrote Fly by Night and Gullstruck Island/The Lost Conspiracy. I have also read Harry Potter and a buch of the other popular series that you guys like to talk about. I am not sure how long I will be here or how often I will visit, but you can look forward to my akwardly formal and strange comments for at least a little while. I guess I better tell you now about the Demonic Nostriloid, which started a a doodle in my church notebook and has evolved into a quirky little charecter that plauges my imagination. I don't watch much TV, but one of my favorite shows is Fraggle Rock, which is a Muppet-like TV show from the 80's. (I only know about it because my mom watched it :) You have been warned!   -GC

Welcome Graycloud! I am Lemon banana, a writing-obsessed, fruit-loving, slightly crazy, definitely not normal 10 year old. Yep, sounds like me. I enjoy reading, writing, soccer and knitting and.... a lot of other stuff. Anyway, have fun on the CB and I look forward to seeing you! 

LB~

Hi! 

I'm Cho Chang, and I have way too many fandoms. And my brain is dead. If you want to do a fantasy RP, I just made one on the Inkwell! It hasn't shown up yet, though. :(

Anyhoo, welcome to the CB! 

OHMIGANDALF, SLOTH NEARLY SAID A SWEAR WORD! Excuse me while I go and wash my CAPTCHA'S mouth out with soap. *starts walking away* BAD SLOTH! VERY BAD SLOTH! No cookies for you tonight!

Welcome to the Chatterbox, Graycloud! :D :D :D 

It's all right if you can't/don't want to post very often--due to the commenting set-up, in which all comments take a while to be published, one doesn't miss too much when one's away-- and because the comments never disappear, you can read up on what you've missed. And thanks for the warning-- although it probably wasn't necessary, we're all weird here ;) 

We're all eager to see what you will contribute to our community! Have fun! :D :D :D
