I'm New Here!
I'm New Here!
*enthusiastic wave* HI!
I'm not sure exactly how to "officially" join the community (everyone here is so great!), but I thought maybe an introduction would be a good way to start.
I've started to join the Chatterbox once or twice, so I decided to try and become active before I posted an Official Debut.
*cue the fanfare*
So here I am. My first post from a loonnnggg time ago is still probably somewhere in the backstreets of Blab about Books. By the way, it seems like they used to have a different system for that a while back..?
I'm Marigold (not my real name), I'm homeschooled, I like "fashion", I foster cats, like to dr8kaw, and don't really have any favorite books (not to say that I don't like them... I just like them all!!!) Are there any other homeschoolers out ther who aren't getting a summer break? I'm not, but I can't say say that I really mind. It's really hot where I live and I take scattered breaks in cooler times of the year.
Also, does anyone else ever enter the Cricket contests? I really enjoy them. (If you do enter, let me know if you win/have won!)
P.S. Thesauruses are seriously amazing (astonishing, fascinating, incredible, marvelous, prodigous...)

Hi!

Hello :3
How long have you been on the Chatterbox?
(May 15, 2018 - 4:01 pm)
I'M HOMESCHOOLED TOO!!! I wish I could foster cats but since I have two dogs that might not go over well...

Welcome Marigold! I am homeschooled too. Homeschooler's club!

Hi! i am homeschooled as well (Prett sure there's several others besides the one/ones that have posted here already). I got third place, ten and under, with a really embarassing (It was HORRIBLE!!) pencil and crayon drawing that nobody should EVER look at.

Welcome! I'm Impunity Jane. I've been on the CB for about 2 years. I realize you've been on the CB before, but just in case any of this info could be useful, I'm going to link the ultimate guide. http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/204967
I'm also a homeschooler, though I do get a summer break. Isn't homeschooling great?
What books do you like, even if they aren't your favorite?
(May 15, 2018 - 9:32 pm)
Thanks for the link to the guide!
Off the top of my head, I like Ruby Red, the Reckoners, Percy Jackson, and pretty much anything by Gail Carson Levine. What about you?
(May 15, 2018 - 11:30 pm)
I love Gail Carson Levine! After I read Ella Enchanted I checked out every book of hers at the library I could get my hands on. My other two favorites are probably C.S. Lewis and Diana Wynne Jones. I've never read Ruby Red or The Reckoners, but now I'll look into them!

So I found what I think is my first post. I had such stellar writing skills back then.

As eight-year-old me would say, "engoy".

Omigosh, that sounds like something I would've written at that age!!

Hello, Marigold! I'm Starseeker, as you can already see. I like fashion as well! Mostly costuming and medieval though. :) I'm looking into being a costume designer, but for now I just do a lot of sketching. I'm public schooled, but I'd love to hear about home schooling!
Welcome to the CB, and I hope to see you around!

Hello, and welcome! I believe we've already met, but greetings anyway. I agree; thesauruses are useful, and interesting besides.
(May 16, 2018 - 3:08 pm)
Hey, Marigold, nice to meet you! I don't homeschool, but there's a possibility I might in a year or two...
(May 16, 2018 - 8:26 pm)
Homeschooling rocks!! (Except for when your parents make you do bridge math over the summer, but I guess that's okay.)
(May 17, 2018 - 11:04 am)
Greetings fellow homeschooler!
I'm HSG. I've been on here since 2014. Occasionally, I pop in to say "hello!" :) Hope you enjoy your time here!
