Hi I'm new.

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hi I'm new.

Hi I'm new.

Hello, I'm Dragonfruit, I am 11 and I love to read. I also like climbing trees, the smell of wet grass, and Harry Potter. Did I mention I love to read? Yes, I did. I will read anything you throw at me and it is my favourite thing to spend time doing. A few of my favourite books are Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes (though I love the tv series too), the Sisters Grimm and How to Train your Dragon. You could call me a nerd in many subjects. And I'm pretty much obsessed with Koalas.

I don't know any of you guys so it would be really awesome if you could introduce yourselves. I am not new to Cricket, though, I have been getting it for about three years and I love every issue to bits. 

I am really excited to be part of such an amazing community. One thing, who are the Admins? Thanks!

First of all, is this LilyPad come back? If it is, OH MY CLAAWS WHY DID YOU LEAVE I MISSED YOU SO MUCH WELCOME BACK WELCOME BACK WELCOME BACK!!!!! If it isn't, then sorry about that. Not the best first impression ever. XD. Well, welcome to the wonderful world of the CB! I'm elementgirl, but you can call me EG. I am completely obsessed with sailing. I love reading and writing, loathe tourists, adore the ocean, have a phobia of squirrels, and that's it! Nice to meet you!

Hi, Elementgirl, nice to meet you. I'm sorry I am not Lilypad, but I would love to be friends anyway. It's cool that you're into sailing. Do you do it often? And what do the numbers mean at the end of your name? Do they mean anything?

Yes, I sail very often, anywhere from 2 to 6 days a week from March until November. The numbers at the end of my name are the numbers on my sail to distinguish mine from others. :D

Hi, Dragonfruit! Welcome to the Chatterbox! I'm Cockleburr! Wait- are you actually from Australia? That's so cool! I want to go there one day. I love Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes too! I've recently gotten very into the show and I really, really like it! It's EPIC! I've the first two books, and I am excited to read more of it! As for loving every issue of Cricket to bits- same.

Hello, Cockleburr, it's nice to meet you. Yep, I'm from Australia. Is anyone else? I want to go all over the world one day. I am glad to meet another Sherlock fan! None of my friends know it. I can't wait to get to know you either.

LilyPad, who Elementgirl mentioned before, is from Australia. I think that's why she thought you might be the same person! I think you and LilyPad are the only two who don't live in the United States? I might be wrong, though.

Well, LilyPad just disappeared off the face of the CB a few months ago, and you both live in Austrailia and have such similar interests. I apologize for that.

*Waves enthusiastically* HAI!!!!!!

Welcome to the CB (chatterbox)!  I hope you like it here!  I'm Lucy, but you can call me whatever you want!  I like to read, draw, and write.  My favorite books are anything by Rick Riordan, the Michael Vey series, and Gone.

I've actually been getting Cricket for a few years too.  But my subscription's expired and I don't have the time to renew it.

Hey Dragonfruit! Welcome to...*drumroll* the CHATTERBOX!!! I'm Rae, nice ta meet ya! I love Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and Sherlock, too! It's so nice to meet other people who know even the tiniest bit of Sherlock Holmes... I'm a crazy fangirl of a lot of things, and my favorite book is The Hobbit. Have you ever heard of the Jackaby series, by William Ritter? THEY ARE AMAZING BOOKS THAT YOU SHOULD REALLY REALLY READ. I made a thread on BaB (blab about books) about them, it gives a pretty good summary.

Hi, Rae, nice to meet you. I have not read the Jackaby Series, but I will add it to my Library List. I will check out your thread on BaB.

Hallo Dragonfruit! My name is Epic Fangirl. As you can tell from my name I am an absolute fangirl about most things. I also love Sherlock (BECAUSE SHERLOCK IS THE BEST!!!) and will read pretty much anything given to me. I also may or may not have way too many books. Anywho, some of my favorite books include the Throne of Glass series (because it is amazing), Six of Crows (also amazing), and a lot of othr things that I can't remember beacause I suck at life. I am an extreme Whovian, love art, drawing, music (especially Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen),and singing. I also play piano. That was a lot of information.

@EG: Am I missing something? I wasn't aware you were going by elementgirl any more.
