Chatterbox: Down to Earth
I’m back!
Hi, guys! I’m so glad to see you again! Gosh, it’s been so
long since I’ve been on here. How is everyone? Anything new or interesting?
I’ve been super busy since I’ve left. I’ve just finished
ninth grade, and we’re looking into college classes for next school year. My
little sister is going into first grade next year, and I volunteered to do most
of her schoolwork with her. So I’m busy preparing for that.
We’ve also moved from Oregon in April. My parents want me to
be really careful online, so I’m not allowed to tell where. Let’s just say that
I’m really happy here!
I’m still busy with my writing, too. Even though I don’t
have an account on NaNoWriMo, I wanted to see if I could write a novel in a
month. I ALMOST did! It took me 31 days!!! I was so happy! It’s called Walking
the Road of Faith, and I want to send it to a publisher. Also, I sent in an
application for Creative Kid’s editorial board.
Oh, yeah! I have a new sibling! I’m so excited! It’s my
fifth sibling. Sorry, can’t tell you her name.
I’ve been spending a ton of time outdoors now. We got a
bunch of animals: pigeons, chickens, and rabbits. The pigeons look so beautiful
when you let them fly all at once. And the chickens? Oh my God, they are such
troublemakers. They’re the black kind, and extremely friendly. We raised them
from chicks. They let us hold them, and they LOVE it when you rock them on the
swing. We have a male and female rabbit. They’re still small, so they’re not
together yet.
Sometime in the fall I’ll be working in a lab at a community
college. I’m doing a project for an upcoming state science fair. A student at
the college is helping me out.
Well, that’s all I can think of now. I missed you guys so
much! And to all the CBers who don’t know me, I’m Bookbug, a fanatic of books,
writing, and anything caramel! Welcome to the CB!

Bookbug! I'm so happy to see you again! Wow, I can't believe I haven't heard anything from you since last year. I remember you were in my CAMM, and I think you left while it was going on. I'll tell you more later.

YAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember meeeeee???? We thought you dissaaapppeeaarreedd!! Whhhyyy amm I mmaaakkiinnnnggg sooo maaannnyy leeettteeerrrssss????? Ok. I've stopped. Welcome back!! Um.. lots of new people some old people gone. Nothing super big happened on here except T.O.N. announcing another ski lodge, about 65 people joining and then it being canceled and T.O.N./Ruby/Red leaving for good. As for me, my summer is officially, totally, and utterly ruined. Probably shouldn't say why. And... umm.... my birthday's coming up..? August 6 and I'll be eleven. Hmmm.. when did you leave? Like November? I had to have crutches in like January because of a sledding incident, I went to a Taylor Swift concert in June, and.... Not much else big. Well I have to eat dinner now (yum yum spaghetti) but welcome back!

Well you've definitely had a fantastic journey in that time. Your new home sounds really fun. Ruby has gone and left in the time you were absent. To be honest, the CB has been a little bit boring lately. I don't know why. It might be that people are doing Camp NaNo. I'm glad you're back!

Hi Bookbug! Welcome BACK!!!!
Wow. A lot of new stuff, huh? I remember you telling us you will have a new sibling. (I guessed it was a girl. :P )
Well, enjoy your time here! :)

Hello! I probably definitely don't know you yet, but I think I may have seen you last September when I came on here for the first time and just looked around. Your name seems familiar, anyway.
Well, I'm St.Owl, or St. for short! I'm a Huffleclaw, champion of District 12, Silvertounge-in-training, 1/3 Whovian, and the Trophy Winner of Harry Potter Trivia! (I will soon ((like, in three to ten years)) be known as Joan D. Plume.) I'm an avid writer and reader, I'm eleven years old, and I first came onto the Chatterbox in late January.
My friend has chickens, too! Well, kind of. She's had them twice now, both gifts for her birthday; she picked them out from a farm, named them, and kept them until they got too big to stay in her house. Then she brought them back to the farm.
Well, it was nice meeting you!

BOOKBUG!!!
You've been gone so long, I was worried that you'd left- I missed you!
You probably don't remember me, but I'm Katie, one of the people on the Chatterbox who's been here for a while but doesn't post as often.
That's cool that you moved! My family is thinking of moving too, but basically in the same place- there are just some aspects of where we are they aren't loving as much anymore.
A fifth sibling- that's so great! I only have one, but that's enough for me- I don't think I could stand any more because I just don't have that kind of patience.
Well anyways, I'm so glad you're back!
(July 22, 2015 - 5:26 pm)
You is back!!!

Thanks, guys! I'm SO happy to see everyone again!
@Savvy44x: Thanks, Savvy! Nice to see you again. Why is your summer ruined? I'm not trying to pry or anything. And I'm so sorry about your leg! I hope it healed quickly!
@CaykeTheCook: I've missed you so so so much, Cayke! My Ramadan was awesome, thank for asking! I fasted all 29 days. My Eid was great, too. How was yours? How old are you now?
@St. Owl: Nice to meet you! I like your name. I know we'll be great pals!
@Katie: Hi, Katie! I totally remember you! I'm glad to see you again!
Again: I'M SO GLAD TO BE BACK!!!
(July 23, 2015 - 3:05 pm)
@Bookbug: I have missed you so so much too!! I fasted 22 days, (still have to make up for the seven I missed. -.-), and both my Ramadan and Eid went great! I don't wanna say my age exactly, but it is around yours. =) Also, congratulations on your sister and new house!! I thought it would be a girl. =) AND YOU FINISHED YOUR NOVEL?? When it's published, I am so gonna read it, and then boast about how I know the author. ;P
Again; I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK!!
(July 23, 2015 - 4:52 pm)
I am CRYING right now! Bookbug, I've missed you so so so so much! Welcome back!
(July 23, 2015 - 5:46 pm)
