Hello New CBers!
Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Hello New CBers!
Hello New CBers!
I'm new to the Chatterbox (joined December 2020) and thought it would be cool if there was a thread just for new CBers. I think it would be a good way to get to know each other and feel more comfortable on Chatterbox. I'm not sure if there is already a thread out there, but I didn't see it if it was.
If you are a new CBer who joined November 2020-January 2021, you are welcome here! Just introduce yourself (name that you use on Chatterbox, the date you joined, a few of your interests, etc.)
I'm pangolin, after my favorite animal, and I joined December 9, 2020. I love writing, Harry Potter, and nature!
I'm exctited to meet all of you!

Hello! I'm Periwinkle, and I joined yesterday! I love reading and writing, especially fiction. I'm also learning to skateboard. I'm excited to learn how to navigate the CB. I like Harry Potter too and have read the entire series! That's about it for now!

Hi Periwinkle.
I love your name. Periwinkle is actually one of my favorite flowers. I don't skateboard, but I have some friends who do!

Hi Pangolin! I'm Peppermint (aka Pepper), and I joined November 25, 2020. I love to write, and I'm currently working on a short story for MWW (monthly writing week) and a novel. I also love reading! I dance ballet and modern, and my favorite part of class is pointe work. Someday, I hope to become an author. It's nice to meet all of you!

Hi Peppermint!
It's nice to meet you and I love your name! I love to write as well, and am the proud owner of eight hundred unfinished novels and short stories. I bet you will become an author one day!
Knight says "iworm" No, you are not a worm, you are a hamster.

Howdy!
I wanted to get to know everyone better, so I created this survey! I also included my answers!
1. What is your CBer name and why did you choose that as your name (I know some people already explained but I'm curious about those who didn't!)?
My name is pangolin because they are my favorite animal. I'm also hoping to raise awareness about their amazing (yet critically endangered) species.
2. Do you have any AEs or CAPTCHAs? If so, who are they?
My AEs are Barnacle, the prankster human (male), and Koi, the moody cat (female). Barnacle talks in bold and Koi speaks in italics. My CAPTCHA is a hamster named Knight (female), because her first word (well her first word that was acceptaple as a name) was actually "knight" and she speaks <like this> or more acurately, <lllikk eee thhiisss>
3. Three things you like?
A cozy fire, the smell of rain, and drawing/lettering
4. Three things you dislike/avoid?
Spiders/anything with lots of legs (excluding octopuses! Octopi?), when my computer is laggy, and finishing a good book (especially if that book is the last one in the series *Glances at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows*)
5. What is your favorite (so far!) thing to do on the Chatterbox?
I think my favorite thing to do is just to meet all the new people! There's so many different CBers and so many different personalities, yet I feel that we can all find something in common (Cricket mag, for one)
6. What is one thing on the CB that looks fun, but that you have not tried yet?
I'm going to say Ski Lodges for this one. They look super exciting, but I don't see any spots avaliable and don't really think I can host my own :P
7. What is the weirdest thing about you?
How I am so socially awkward and don't like to be around people, but when I am not around people I get super depressed. I am an oxymoron!
8. What non-screen related activity do you turn to when you are bored?
Probably drawing/lettering or being outside (even though I live in the city and there really isn't much nature)
Well, I look forward to seeing your responses!
Knight says <anaeg>
Do you mean "an egg" or maybe an egg named Ana? Maybe you want to eat an egg.

1. What is your CBer name and why did you choose that as your name (I know some people already explained but I'm curious about those who didn't!)
My name is Wreeboo because... well... I just kinda typed random letters until it looked good. Wooooooow. So inspiring.
2. Do you have any AEs or CAPTCHAs? If so, who are they?
My first AE is Rory. She is a snarky coding prodigy who speaks in bold italics. Then, there's Kaikki, who also goes by Kiki or Kee, who is an anxious, artsy extrovert who speaks in italics.
3. Three things you like?
The feel of my dog's thick, warm fur, the smell of beef stew, and the feel of wind in my hair.
4. Three things you dislike/avoid?
Spiders/any kind of bug (mostly), intense heat/humidity (UNFORTUNATELY, I live in Minnesota, so I can't avoid that much), and wet, tight clothes.
5. What is your favorite (so far!) thing to do on the Chatterbox?
I love that so many people like doing the same things I do! In real life, I usually can't find many like-minded people, but it's so easy on here!
6. What is one thing on the CB that looks fun, but that you have not tried yet?
I dunno. I haven't really seen anything that i haven't participated in yet....

I am the oldest of four siblings! I like all kids and most kids like me. I am the ULTIMATE BABYSITTER
8. What non-screen related activity do you turn to when you are bored?
Reading, drawing, or, occasionally, writing.

1. What is your CBer name and why did you choose that as your name (I know some people already explained but I'm curious about those who didn't!)?

1. What is your CBer name and why did you choose that as your name (I know some people already explained but I'm curious about those who didn't!)?
This is slightly embarrasing... my sister and I once made up superheros/villains and kinda roleplayed them but physically, mine was named The Sage Wolf.
2. Do you have any AEs or CAPTCHAs? If so, who are they?
I only have one AE, Eir. She talks in italics, and she's annoyingly extroverted (chirpy, nosy).

Animals, the ocean, and figuring out the perfect palette for characters.
4. Three things you dislike/avoid?
Radicchio, yippy dogs (they're cute though!), and this is so gross but dead fish (like pet fish, not fish you eat).
5. What is your favorite (so far!) thing to do on the Chatterbox?
To be honest, I don't know - I feel like I should be more active on the CB.
6. What is one thing on the CB that looks fun, but that you have not tried yet?
I kinda want to start a picturing thread, but I haven't worked up the courage yet!
7. What is the weirdest thing about you?
That's hard because there are so many! I guess a lot of you are saying you dislike bugs, I actually like most of them (everything except yellow jackets *shudder*).
8. What non-screen related activity do you turn to when you are bored?
Drawing or listening to music!

1. What is your CBer name and why did you choose that as your name?
My name is Princess Juniper but Juni or Juniper is fine too. I chose that because well I love the name Juniper and Juniper Ruinitz was my pen name for a short while. (Now it's January Martins)
2. Do you have any AEs or CAPTCHAs? I have one AE named Alaska (I used to have three but I invented them when I didn't even know what an AE was), she speaks in bold like this <Hello> <I'm Alaska>. I have a captcha named Butternut who is a pegasus

@Princess Juniper-
I just saw this and totally agree with your first answer to number 4. I hate it when people call Native Americans "indians." I think it was for school or something the other day and it kept saying "indians" when it should have said NATIVE AMERICANS throughout the whole article and I was just sitting at my computer silently fuming because we had to use facts from the website and...oh dear, I appear to be ranting. Anyway, I completely and totally agree with you.

This may sound weird, but reading other's RPs. I haven't joined any yet. It's kinda fun to read other people's ideas and watch the stories unfold.
6. What is one thing on the CB that looks fun, but you haven't tried yet?
Uhh, pretty much everything....
7. What is the weirdest thing about you?
Oof, hard to choose out of so many weirdnesses. I guess I'd have to say that I sometimes start to randomly sing under my breath, and it often causes funny looks from other people.

Ususally reading, writing, drawing, climbing, playing outside, building forts...*lists many hobbies*
