Salutations! 

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Salutations! 

Salutations! 
My name is Sterling Eclipse. (Well, it isn't really. But I like how intriguing it sounds, don't you?!)
I'm new here (duh) but I have looked around a bit and figured out about topping, CAPTCHAs, AEs, etc. My AE is going to be named Stella Nantucket, but I don't have a personality for her yet. My CAPTCHA is Ferdinando, and he says tmxg, which I am guessing stands for: "text me xylophone goats". ?????
As for who I am? I am a complete nerd in all senses of the word (superhero comics, computer programming, math and science, video games, you name it). But I'm also very literary, which is why I subscribed to Cricket-- and came here! (Me rilly likes spelig end grammor so u wotch out!)
I am interested in everything and want to know and do everything, so here are just a few things I like/like to do:
- Hanging out with friends
- Gymnastics
- Chocolate
- Books
- Writing stories and poetry
- Music-- I play piano and ukelele and am considering taking voice lessons
- Theatre
- Books
- Movie/youtube video making
- School (surprise!)
- Listening to music
- Books
- Basketball
- Art projects
- Gardening
- Video games
- Books
- Cooking
- Knitting 
- Computer programming
- Oh and did I mention books?!
I would like to get to know you all a little bit too, so here is a survey!
1. Do you know what a pangolin is? 
2. Are you wearing socks? If so, describe them.
3. What is the best thing about the CB?
4. What do you always avoid?
5. If you remember, how late did you stay up last night? (don't worry, I won't tell your mom)
6. Which do you like better, the letter W or the letter A? Explain.
7. What was the last thing you drew?
8. You have ten seconds to hide in the room you are in right now. Where do you go?
9. Agree or disagree:
(a) You cannot jump to the moon
(b) You cannot put soap in your eyes
(c) You cannot breath with your tongue out like a dog
10. Did you just try to breath with your tongue out like a dog? 
11. And for Ferdinando, can you say something intelligent about xylophone goats?
Thanks!! 
So I am SUPER busy with many things and will not be on a whole lot, but this looks like a friendly place full of kindred spirits that I am excited to be a part of =D.
Fair flying to all,
Sterling

Hey, Sterling! We're glad to have you here. I like almost everything on your list! Knitting and computer programming are not strong suits for me, but I can crochet. Have you started basketball yet? I have because 7th grade girls basketball is in the fall.

My survey answers:

Thanks to the article in Cricket, yes!

How everyone is so nice to each other and no one uses curse words. Also that there is nothing you have to sign up for and that the admins are so awesome!

Uh, 10? 11? Somewhere inbetween?

In my closet!

Sadly I do not actually play on a full-fledged basketball team-- I'm a homeschooler and there isn't an awful lot of opportunity for me to join one. But I play all the time with my friends!

Yes! Pangolins (and xylophone goats) for the win!
