Hi, everybuggy! My

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hi, everybuggy! My

Hi, everybuggy! My name is Macy Anne Z., I am 6 years old, I am homeschooled, and I live in New York City. I have an IQ of 110, so my mother is putting me in seventh grade right now. Everyone comments on my spelling, my knitting, my dancing, and how cute I am!!!! Laughing I have long, curly black hair that is very shiny, I have grey eyes, I am very short, and I like to read Cricket Magazine, though I might move to Cicada soon. Does anybuggy have any advice for me? What does everybuggy like to do, and what do you look like? What musicians do you like? What books do you like? What should I know about the Chatterbox? And who is Elizabeth W.? She sounds like a weird person. Mango, I like your name. Kenzie, you sound like one of the nicest people on earth. TNO, you sound like an interesting person, and I would like to get to know you better. R~D~, you sound amazing! Charlotte/BuksRul, you sound so funny. I want to get to know you all! Administrators, how do you do? It sounds like you work very hard to keep this place in shape.

Ah!  *blushes*  Thanks. I'm really not that amazing...... *blushes again*  I'm R~D~, I hope you know that I am a girl, and I love to read and write!  I just read a very good book called Hattie Big Sky. It was great!  Well, you already know how to make a new thread, (that's what these are called), and if you're six, you are brilliant, so I think you'll manage okay.  :)  Just ask questions whenever.  Someone will answer.  :)

 

Are you *seriously* SIX?????  Amazing! But I'm unsure...... :) :) :)

Hi! *waves* I'm Mary, you can call me Mary Liz, I am awesome, welcome to the CB! You have great grammar/spelling for a six-year-old, by the way.

Does anybuggy have any advice for me? Try to avoid bringing up subjects like global warming, President Obama, religion, creation/evolution, and, strangely, Twilight, the Jonas Brothers, and Eragon. We have tabooed these because arguments can get slightly too heated, and as you said, the Admin work very hard to ensure that the CB stays a friendly environment. :)

What does everybuggy like to do? My master list of hobbies include reading, writing, fencing, debate, computer, music, etc. I also like doughnuts, shiny things, biking, night, rain, and insanity.

What do you look like? Um. I have brown hair, a little over shoulder-length, and hazel eyes. And gold-coloured glasses. I am tall. And as stated above I am awesome. ;)

What musicians do you like? Actually I don't really listen to music by any particular group much (although there are a couple bands/artists that I like), my musical tastes are more scattered around. But I do really like Alan Menkan, who has never failed to impress me but is best in the Broadway version of The Little Mermaid, which I also am slightly obsessed with.

What books do you like? Too many to list. My favourite authors are Edgar Allan Poe, Ray Bradbury, Bram Stoker, Gaston Leroux, JK Rowling, Oscar Wilde, Derek Landy, Douglas N. Adams, and, and, and--- Yeah, Ill just list genres. I like fantasy and sci-fi best. Whattabout you?

What should I know about the Chatterbox? If you are not insane (it doesn't have to be terminal, just acute enough) then you will probably not adapt well. Other than that, we are pretty cool. There is also something you should know about, a little clandestine plot to take over the planet. Led actually by TNO (umlaut), the "interesting person" you mentioned. The CB is not a brainwashing facility she invented.

And who is Elizabeth W.? Interesting question. She is a twelve-year-old girl who lives in Colorado. She's best friends with Charlotte/BuksRul outside of the CB. She is a pretty nice person. *gives cookies to Elizabeth*

So yeah... Welcome, Macy Anne!

Whoa... somebody is SMART!!!!! Good for you though, it sounds cool to be that far ahead!!!! My friend Simon is taking college math, so i guess, in a way, he's kinda like you. I'm in 8th grade! I'm 13, and I'm guessing you haven't seen me around. Busy busy busy!!!!!!!!! Are you homeschooled? A LOT of people on here are (not me!) You'll love it here! I love your name, it's a good combination, one I've never heard before. I've hear Mary Anne, and Jo Anne, but never Macy Anne...COOL! I like to write, read, swim, play volleyball, ski, Irish dance (some other people who read Cricket like to too, I've seen! :) :D), and do sign language. Anyways, I think you're really interesting, and I hope to see you around a lot! :)

Okay, okay, I'm not really six. I just wanted to see you guys' reactions to that. I'm actually twelve. (Which explains the grammar and spelling.) Sorry if I disappointed you guys, but it is almost Halloween! I gave you a trick instead of a treat! ;-)

Oh, and I just wish I had an IQ of 110. I might, but I don't know. I haven't actually taken an IQ test. Tee hee hee. I am kinda known as a trickster. Too bad we can't talk about the Jonas Brothers. I kinda like them. I've been reading previous threads, and it seems like I'm Elizabeth W.'s evil twin. It's kinda scary. I like Eragon, the Jonas Brothers, the Go-Go's, Bon Jovi, and the Hollow Kingdom Trilogy.

Lying about anything, especially your age, is not the best way to introduce yourself. Sorry if that sounded hostile.

Welcome! Six? Well, I'm 789, so perhaps it's not that strange. Anyway, I see that Ducra has already mentioned me, so I'll go throw a pillow at the ceiling! Oh, and Duara is the crazy one, not me!

Haha I'm famous XD.

Hem. Yes. To business!

I am TNÖ aka TNO aka Haley. *bows* Lovely to meet you, dahling. We hope you'll stay. *grin*

Advice:

1. You don't have to be insane to post here, but it helps. /Discworld references.

2. If you see something /like this/ in my post, replace the text enclosed in the slashes with italicized text, will you? The formatting thingies don't work for me for some reason.

3. If someone pies you, it's a good thing. Like this, see? *pies* *pies* *pies*

4. When you start to hear the voices in your head, Don't Panic. That's just the mind control kicking in.

4a. I kid, I kid. Sort of.

5. Yes, I like lists. Silence!

My Hobby(ies?):

1. Making random xkcd references. Well, no, not really. Just this once.

2. Reading, 'Riting, but *definitely* not 'rithmetic. *shudder*.

3. Random doodling.

4. Listening to Disney on Broadway soundtracks, singing along with Sherie Rene Scott and just about everyone on the Mary Poppins soundtrack (especially Temper, Temper and the Brimstone and Treacle sequences, h'm).

5. Obsessing over various things (currently the OBCR Little Mermaid, the OLCR of Mary Poppins, and this one game where you try to fight zombies by planting various plants.)

What I Look Like:

Light brown hair in a ponytail 24/7 (nearly), squarish black glasses, eyes that are blue sometimes and green in certain light, dark circles under the eyes due to chronic insomnia, hoodies!, 5'9", tiny feet.

What To Know About the CB:

See Advice.

And Above All You Must Know:

Never question the Haley. ;)

@ TNO (umlaut): Ohh, you have insomnia. I'm beginning to suspect that I have that (acute though, not chronic) or some other... sleep disorder, because I haven't been consistently able to fall asleep well for several months, even when I'm exhausted... My parents won't believe me though, they think I'm reading under the bedcovers with a flashlight. (I am not.)

@ Macy Anne: I thought maybe...

Hi, Macy Anne! :D Welcome to Chatterbox! I think you'll

like it here. Anyway, my name is Megan and I've been

here since April. I started getting Cricket when I was

about 10 or 11 and then stopped and I recently started

getting it again. :) I like to read and I love literature, and

I also like to draw. I have brown hair and brown eyes. And

I like all kinds of musicians. Haha, I might write more later,

but I have to go now. Bye! :)

Hi, Macy Anne!!!  Thanks to my long(ish) absense away from Chatterbox, I know that your twelve, not six.  I am homeschooled, too!!  More unschooled, though.   And, I will answer all your questions:

Does anybuggy have any advice for me?  Advice, well, um, everybuggy else gave you all the advice that I could think of in a few second.  *lazyness*

What does everybuggy like to do,
and what do you look like? 
I like to read.  Almost everybuggy on here likes to.  And knit, rochet, and other stuff like that.  I ike to run around crazily in the rain yelling "mwahahahaha" for no reason at all.  One of my hobby's is to make people think I am weird.  And I have a lot of other stuff that I like to do.  

I have dark blonde hair (or light brown, whatever you want to call it) that goes a little below my shoulders.  It's thinish and curly.  Not like those springy curls that Elijah has, but waves and curves that frame my dark brown, almond shaped eyes.  I'm around five feet I would guess. 

What musicians do you like?  Well, I like Neil Young, and Tom Waits.  And other music that I like that I've heard before...

What books do
you like? 
All the books I've read except a rare few.

What should I know about the Chatterbox?  That it is very fun to type and talk to people on Chatterbox.  

And who is Elizabeth
W.?
  Elizabeth W. is Elizabeth W., Charlotte/Buksrul best friend.  

I forgot to say that my hair will soon be green.
