Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

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...)
