Konnichiwa everyone! I
Konnichiwa everyone! I'm Arrietty. I love singing, climbing trees and everything to do with Japan. I am a dreamer and I love to read and write. Another one of my passions is animals and nature in general. I love to paint mythical animals and characters of my own creation.
I'm new to the Chatterbox, and I can't wait to get to know everyone.
Sayonara!
-Arrietty
PS. Arrietty isn't my real name, but it's from one of my favourite books, The Borrowers.

Hi, Arrietty! I'm aFountainPen! Nice to meet you! I read The Borrowers book, and I love it, but from how you said "Konnichiwa" at the beginning, I thought that you used Arrietty from The Secret World Of Arrietty, a film based off The Borrowers by Studio Ghibli! I think it might be my favorite film by them, aside from maybe My Neighbor Totoro.
Anyway, welcome to the CB!

aFountainPen, I love that movie too! I guess my name could be based off both.

@Jwyn no, that wasn't me, but I can see why you thought it was.
Anywhoo, Welcome, Arittery, it's nice to meet you! I'm Soren. I think it's cool that you like nature. I hope to see you around! (Pssst. Anybody got the link to the Ultimate Guide?)

Hey Arrietty! I'm Agent Winter, epic skateboarding martial arts master and fangirl. I also enjoy singing, climbing trees, writing, and reading. Do you paint in watercolor or something else? Also, do you draw manga? I do, though I'm not particularly good at it. I like animals too, do you have any pets at home? I have two mixed-breed dogs (a skittish German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and a goofy Great Pyranees/Yellow Laborador mix) and a cranky, insane tortoiseshell tabby cat. It sounds like we have a lot in common, and I can't wait to get to know you better! Also, here's the link to the Ultimate Guide (which you should read, trust me on this):

Anyway, I've gotta run, since I may or may not have forgotten to start writing my 4-H record book... Bye! *sound of skateboard zooming off* *skateboard crashes*

Wait, what? How did that first part get there? @Admins, could you delete the first paragraph of my last comment? That is so weird...
Done.

@Admins Thanks so much! I honestly have no idea how that happened.

Thanks for the link, Agent Winter. Can I call you Agent for short? We do have heaps in common. I like drawing manga and I usually use watercolours, though I'm not very good at it. Your pets sound so cute! I have two rabbits, a dog and half a cat. My cat lives at my grandparents house, but I spend half my time there anyway. See you round!

@Arrietty You can most definitely call me Agent! Sorry for the late response, by the way. I've been SO busy. It's awesome that you have rabbits! I've wanted rabbits for a while, but since I've always had rambunctious dogs, I've never been able to get any rabbits. What's it like having rabbits? Are they as cool as they look?
(September 9, 2018 - 5:43 pm)
Agent Winter, rabbits are so, so sweet! You haven't lived until you've seen a bunny binkie!

Thanks Soren, it's nice to meet you.

Hello, Arrietty! I've read The Borrowers and seen The Secret Life of Arrietty, and they're both amazing. Anyways, welcome to the Chatterbox!
P.S. Would the past tense of yeet be 'yote', or would it be 'yeeted'?
