Hey everybuggy!
Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Hey everybuggy!
Hey everybuggy!
This is my first time posting, so I should tell you about myself. I am 13 and I live in New Jersey. I am a competitive swimmer, field hockey player and violinist. My school has chamber music, so I might compete in Lincoln Center Chamber Competition. I am also entering this year's online Doodle. Some of my favorite books are The Ivies by Alexa Donne and Pretty Funny For A Girl (I forgot who wrote it). Unpopular opinion: I'm sorry, but KOTLC is overrated. My sister likes it though.
Thanks,
Annabelle
Welcome to Chatterbox, Annabelle. We're pleased to meet you. FYI, we're not allowed to post mention of other websites over which we have no control. But you should fit right into Chatterbox discussions. We have several violinists here and sports people, and all of us love reading and art.

Welcome to CB, Anabelle! I'm Moon Wolf, and I love reading, writing and playing piano and guitar. What is your favorite book genre?
Hope to read you around!

Dear Moon Wolf
I love horror mysteries (murder mysteries are really good) and I like realistic fiction, usually if it's about dealing with middle school!

Hey Annabelle! Welcome to the CB! I'm Hawkstar, she/her.
I am honestly a KOTLC fan, but I LOVE hearing others opinions! Would you mind telling me why you think it's overrated?
(October 8, 2024 - 1:39 pm)
Hey Hawkstar,
I just don't really like fantasy. I guess you could say I like to be well grounded in the real world!
(October 10, 2024 - 7:49 pm)
Oh, okay! I get wanting to stay in the real world. I, though, for one, love escaping into alternate universes through books :)

hey hey!! welcome to the CB, Annabelle!! i'm pangolin, she/they, and i love reading, writing, poetry, and snowboarding. i don't play any instrument, but violin is one of my favorites to listen to!! it's so awesome that you play it :D i haven't read either of the books you mentioned, but i looked them up and they both sound really cool - i'll have to check them out :] what artists/genres of music do you listen to?
(October 8, 2024 - 2:39 pm)
Hi pangolin,
I like Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift. I haven't been to any concerts but I am hoping to. All my friends went to Metlife Stadium for the Eras Tour last year. Have you been and who do you like?

Hi, Annabelle! I'm also a competitive swimmer and a violinist. What's your favorite stroke? Mine is backstroke, although I also enjoy butterfly.
I hope you'll like the Chatterbox!

Hi Seadragon, I love the chatterbox! I like freestyle, though I am not the best at it. Meanwhile, 400 Butterfly is the bane of my existence. I can barely power through 200!
(October 10, 2024 - 7:46 pm)
Freestyle is really hard to be technically good at; I'm sure that you will improve. I have never done anything more than the 100 butterfly, which I found awful (I love the 50, though) so I haven't had the misfortune of doing the 200 butterfly. Good for you for having done it! Do you prefer longer distances or shorter? I honestly don't really know, because I like the 100 freestyle more than the 50 freestyle and I haven't yet done anything else in a swim meet. I am doing the 200 freestyle this November, though, and I'm a little scared because sometimes I forget how to count, especially if I'm tired. Do you have any pets? I had a cat, but she died, which is quite sad.
(October 12, 2024 - 8:34 pm)
I have a couple pets. 2 cockatiels named Waffles and Butter and a bunny name Luna. Luna's original owner was an international student who had to give her away, but she's living happily at our house. Waffles and Butter love flying to our kitchen table during meals to steal food, lol.

I'm not Annabelle, but I swim competitively. My best stroke is backstroke, but my favorite stroke is breaststroke.

Welcome to the CB Anabelle!! I'm Celine, she/her pronouns, known for unnecessary ramblings--- although not as much recently since I've been bUsY (I've still got to reply to so many things on here haha uh... also I should be doing my homework rn o_O)---and I also love reading!! I play soccer and cello---not quite a violinist, but sorta. :D Btw, don't you violinists get tired from holding the violin up all the time?? But yeah, hi! :D And that's so cool that you're entering this year's doodle!!!!
