Hi Ruby!
My name's Joss. Um.... I like Acting, singing, reading, writing, making YouTube videos with my dolls, swimming, running... yeah. Oh, and I'm a Christian.
(February 23, 2016 - 4:48 pm)
Hello, Joss! It's nice to meet you.
What have you acted in recently? Do you sing with a choir? What vocal range thingy (you know, soprano, alto, bass, etc.) are you? What's the proper word for vocal range thingy? What demonination of Christian are you?
There, I've asked so many questions you'll be busy for weeks answering them. If any are too personal, don't feel like you have to answer. I'm in a conversational mood, but you don't need to indulge me if you don't want because there's lots of people here already talking.

I'm currently in Willy Wonka and I'm playing Veruca Salt. I am in a choir, and I can sing anywhere, really, but I'm in Metzo. I honestly have no idea what the proper word is for the vocal range thingy.
(February 24, 2016 - 6:29 pm)
Wikipedia says that it's a voice type. That's awfully simple. Good luck with Veruca Salt. Is she the rich girl who gets carried off by squirrels? How is your theater company going to manage that?
(February 24, 2016 - 8:14 pm)
Yeah, that's Veruca. It's really fun to play her, I get to be really bratty XD. They are going to have a slide that goes either offstage or into a box, and the squirrels will push me off the slide.

Hello! It's nice to meet you, Ruby. You most likely don't know me, but I've heard about you before. I'm Abigail, resident Shakespeare lover, published author, and parakeet enthusiast. Once again, hi!
(February 23, 2016 - 8:38 pm)
No, I've never seen you before, so nice to meet you! Which Shakespeares are your favorite? I myself am partial to Macbeth. Where did you get published and what for? Also, do you have parakeets? Can you share a photo of them?
(February 24, 2016 - 1:24 am)
1. My favorite Shakespeare plays are A Midsummer Night's Dream and As You Like It. I like Macbeth a lot as well.
2. There's a magazine called Stone Soup that publishes writing by kids under 13 all over the world. So far, I've been featured in it 3 times.
3. Yep, I do! Two, in fact. Here's a picture:
The blue one is named Tacoma (we call her Tata or T) and the yellow and green one is Chihuly (Chi). Sorry it's not the best photo...
(February 24, 2016 - 8:15 pm)
Both of those plays are fantastic. I've had to read Midsummer four times for school, but it's still good. As You Like It is great fun, too.
Nice job with Stone Soup! Looks like you've got a few more years to try again as well. Good luck!
Thanks very much for the picture of your birds. Although no one asked, here is a photo of my cat. She eats things off the floor like a baby and sneezes all over the place, but we love her anyway.
Captcha saus pngi. Sorry, Captcha, it's a jpg.

Hoping that this one is the right size and rotation to go through properly.

OK, now I have more time.
Hi Ruby! We've all missed you, believe me. I doubt you remember me (nobody really notices me much, maybe I have superpowers...) but eh who cares?
I exist.
How are you? Boy I am out of things to say (comes after 15 page ranting in journals, hehe).
OK I'm starting over.
Hello, Ruby. We have all missed you. There are lots of new CBers becasue of Kyndom, which I sort of abandoned due to schoolwork (I hate logorithms- and spelling if you can tell) and a huge project I'm doing.
Let's see, who is here: Moi and admins, when this message is read, and you when you read this. My interests: urm writing, theatre, and being sarcastic. And reading LotR and watching the movies and getting over Imposters Syndrome.
My concerns? The US government and my own sanity. This is SE, over and out.
(February 23, 2016 - 9:41 pm)
I remember you really well. You're likely older than I remember, but besides that, I know lots of things. All good blackmail material, I'm sure.
I hate logs too. What are you doing with them, Algebra II stuff?
Being sarcastic is a great hobby, he says sincerely. What do you have Imposters Syndrome about?
I, too, fear for the state of our government and I, too, am too young to vote and change it. What a shame. And SE, to be very serious, if you have legitimate concerns about your sanity, you should see a doctor first and foremost. I'm not a doctor, but if you need someone with a lot of experience (I've been in the hospital and met all kinds of people with all different kinds of conditions, and I participate in a community for people with mental disabilities and illnesses) and a willing ear to listen, ask BHR and she'll show you the means of contacting me privately. I'm always here if you need a friend.
(February 24, 2016 - 1:28 am)
Thanks. I basically have Imposters with everything, but I'm not depressed (which has fascinated people) and am a genuinly happy person. I'm just completely terrified of not being perfect and that kind of stuff. I don't know... Apparently I have it because I am a "high achiever" but I can't remember the last time I did something well... But therapist people have told me all I can really do is tell myself every night what good things I've done. It's getting a lot better, because I can sometimes think of things that I do well. Like acting. I've never been able to tell myself that I'm good at it, but I was able to recently.
But I recently discovered that not everyone's colors have personalities, so I'm psyched to find out that I have synesthesia, which is cool.
Yeah, I can't vote for FIVE YEARS but I can vote in the 2020 election, which is good because I have the cutoff on my side for once.
I'm doing a mix of Algebra 2 and Trig and geometry, since my math class combines everything and I already taught myself some calculus (oops skipped ahead).
But again with Imposters, it's funny (sincerely) because if I ever tell people, they'll ask me why I'm not depressed or whatever and I'll simply reply that I don't need to have acomplishments to make me happy. I'm not an egotystical maniac.
That's when people run away.
Fun.
But it frustrates me how little people care about the government and what's wrong. 20% of Trump supporters say the end of slavery was a BAD thing???? That stresses me out. And I'm super stressed about everyone else because our president is going to get us into war and mess up everything.
AND NOBODY CARES.
Stupid.
I can just see our world becoming a Hunger Games type dystopian world from a fiction book....
*shivers
I care, S.E. And I will be voting this year for the candidate I think will be the best president and representative of our country to people all around the world, the one who will make the best decisions. And my friends will, too.

Much of your life, you've taken doing a good job for granted, right? And now it's challening to do a good job. Yet you're already doing Algebra II, trig, and some calculus. You're probably 11-13 years old, and that is a ridculously high schievement in it of itself. I am currently working as a tutor in an Algebra II class with high school seniors that are having trouble with the course and wish to pass this year so they can graduate. They are not stupid people, by any means. They have hopes and dreams and wishes of their own and have great plans to succeed in the future. I wish them all luck. You're probably not even a freshman yet, and look! Your math skill is higher than theirs. You're not a perfect human being, but no one is. It's impossible to achieve perfection completely. I'm sorry that you have these self-doubting thoughts, but please, please do your best to remember how much you are able to do. You are able to get up in the morning. You are able to feed yourself. You are able to use your intelligent mind to learn all sorts of wonderful things. You are doing wonderfully, S.E. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I really appreciate the encouragement. Yeah, I'm 13. I think everyone knows that by now. I don't know. Watching the prequels for Star Wars is causing me to die of laughter while typing this is killing me.
