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

Salve! (hello in Latin. l think l spelled it wrong. *winces*) (I think I corrected it for you, Admin)
l be Shady, and l amuse myself by arranging the twenty-six letters of the alaphabet, over and over again. l also enjoy practicing running from monsters (running), a sport that is 99% not drowning (swimming), kicking a piece of inflated leather at people (soccer), running into trees at high speeds with two pieces of plastic on your feet (skiing) and balencing one two thin circular objects with physics and going to high speeds (cycling). Also.....COMIC BOOKS!
M'kay, l think that's all. You did say you wanted to get to know me, so...... :)
1. Yepppp.
2. Nope. Shoes and socks are a medeval toure devices. l'm tellin' ya, they are.
3. Ski Lodges :D l can link to the orginals if you want me to/don't know what they are.
4. Humans. Indoors, mostly. Onions.
5. Erm.....midnight, l think. l blame the abnormal amount of caffine l drank yesterday.
6. W. It has the name of another letter in it!
7. l think it was a random desigh on my red choir folder this morning when l wasn't paying attenion to the teacher.

B. Also disagree. It's painful.
C. Disagree again! l am such a disagreeable person.
10. Nope.
11. Goats are like dogs and like to head-butt you. Xylophone goats will often get kicked out of the orcastra for this.

Firstly: That is an EPIC name. Secondly: WHOOOPIEEEE! ANOTHER GYMNAST! I'm a gymnast too! I'm a competetive level six! Do you compete? If so, what level? I cannot WAIT to get to know you! I'm so excited!!!!!!
(September 19, 2016 - 9:15 pm)
Thanks!!! I'm not a competitive gymnast, but I've been taking classes for about seven years =).
(September 20, 2016 - 2:14 pm)
Wow, cool! Seven years, that's a long time! What skills can you do? I'm learning how to do a round off backhandspring back layout right now. I'm still on tumble track, but hopefully I'll get to do it on floor soonish. My first meet of the season is in October! I can't wait! It's called The Monster Mash! Sounds like a blast! If I do well enough at this meet, my coaches might move me up to level seven!

Hello! Greetings! Gesundheit!
I find it hard to believe she just sneezed.
It means good health!
Dragons don't sneeze. Or speak German.
Well, humans do. And you can morph into one. So there. I'm going to take the survey now. So ha.

Hi! Welcome to the CB!
1. Do you know what a pangolin is? Yes! They live in Africa, and they're covered in scaly armour stuff and are similar to armadillos.
(September 22, 2016 - 5:47 pm)
Salutations to you too, Sterling Eclipse! I have to confess that at first I thought you might be related to a certain famous spider from a certain book, but I started looking at your list of interests, and well...I'm no expert but...I don't think spiders play video games or know anything about computer programming. Am I right? Yeah...I think I'm right. Anyway, welcome to Chatterbox! My name is River. I'm afraid I'm not on here much now that school is in full swing, but perhaps you will still see me every now and then. Here's hoping that you will enjoy your stay here. Going to tackle your survey now.
1. Do you know what a pangolin is?
I didn't before this survey, but now I do. Thank you, Google!
2. Are you wearing socks? If so, describe them.
Yes: white, ankle, sports socks.
3. What is the best thing about the CB?
The CBers because they make the posts.
4. What do you always avoid?
If you don't mind, I'm going to insert a "try" in here because I am not always successful...
In school, I always try to avoid sitting in the front. I like to sit all the way in the back,
preferably next to a window. This way I can see the whole room.
5. If you remember, how late did you stay up last night? (don't worry, I won't tell your mom)
Around midnight.
6. Which do you like better, the letter W or the letter A? Explain.
W of course! Because wings begins with W, and if you look closely at the W, it looks like it has wings. That's pretty cool!
7. What was the last thing you drew?
A stick figure sound asleep at a desk. I was in class. It was my first class of the day, and I figured better
to have the stick figure sleeping than me. I actually don't draw much though simply because I have no talent in this area.
8. You have ten seconds to hide in the room you are in right now. Where do you go?
The closet. My days of hiding under the bed are behind me, meaning I now have an aversion to dust bunnies close to my face.
9. Agree or disagree:
(a) You cannot jump to the moon: Agree
(b) You cannot put soap in your eyes: Disagree, but I suspect it gets there unintentionally. I can't imagine
anyone intentionally washing their eyeballs on purpose. Ouch!
(c) You cannot breathe with your tongue out like a dog: Disagree. Apparently you can.
10. Did you just try to breathe with your tongue out like a dog?
Of course! Some things I just need to try for myself. (And yes, I felt silly and probably looked it too.)
11. And for Ferdinando, can you say something intelligent about xylophone goats?
Okay, I have to pass on this. I still have Riddler's response to this in my head and can't think of anything else. Too funny.
p.s. I read your poem, btw. It's quite lovely. :)
(September 23, 2016 - 10:18 pm)
1. I literally am wearing a tatoo of a pangolin that says, "P is for Pangolin." A pangolin can curl up in a ball like an armadillo but has the digging prowess of a wombat.
2. No, but I do have a lot of very interesting socks.
3. Being able to speak to many different people on one screen. And the Alter Egos.
4. Large parties full of popular kids and games that I can't play.
5. Probably about 9:30 pm.
6. A. It's thinner and feels neater and W is this lumpy orangey-red that I don't like.
7. My friend Dia.
8. Under the tiny table upon which we keep the answering machine. In the corner.
9. (a) disagree
(b) agree
(c) disagree
10. I almost did, but then I remembered that there is such a thing as logic.
11. Yes. They're rainbow and they hate caves.
(September 24, 2016 - 7:43 am)
Hi, Sterling Eclipse! I like your name. Anyway, I basically like all the things you do.
11. And for Ferdinando, can you say something intelligent about xylophone goats?
Wha? Xylophone goats? What the-*googles* No such thing. See? Intelligent. I even- oh haha- did research. *Assumes college professor mode* Now, children, Google is the best and worst place to do your research.
