I haven't had

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I haven't had

I haven't had a lot of time for CB lately, which is a terrible tragedy. (I hope y'all missed me...) However, I am back with a venegance and determined to post as frequently as humanly possible. I decided, as some way to slide back in to the active side of this community, I would reintroduce myself. 

Kind of.

Presenting....

10 Random Facts About Me


1. The foremost September 1st after I turned eleven, I cried because I hadn't recieved my Hogwarts letter in the mail.

3. I am most certainly not a morning person.

4. In my calligraphy class we were once about to copy poems on parchment. When the teacher brought it out my I shouted, "IT'S JUST LIKE IN HARRY POTTER!" 

5. Sometimes I listen to things with headphones on and I forget I'm wearing them, which leads to me bursting out and shouting "Here comes the general!" along with the song, except no one else can hear it but me. I get a lot of weird looks.

6. I really, really, like the name Quinn but somehow have never found the right character to use it on.

7. I love to draw and consider myself pretty good, but I'm really shy about showing people my work.

8. If I was a demigod, my godly parent would be Athena. 

9. My brain never shuts up. No matter what I'm doing I'm always thinking something. Usually random, like: "Is it possible to run without moving your upper body at all?" or "How much of Hamilton is rhymed in couplets?"

10. I have a stuffed animal lamb named Lily who I can't sleep without. <3

I had an awe full nightmare last night when I got sent to high school early without a schedule or a clue and no one would listen to my pleas to be sent back t eight grade. But then I posted my troubles on the CB, and you guys were there for me. My brain even created comments. Dream-Leafpool said she sat down and cried. Dream-Brookeira defended me when an anynomous commenter told me I was being a drama queen. Right before I woke up, I was begging my mom to take me back to eighth grade.

Here are my ten random facts! 

1. In real life, I'm actually quite romantic- my godly parent would be Apollo or Aphrodite, probably Aphrodite.

2. I sometimes read whole RPs without people in it knowing. Like, it's too late to join, but I'm all wrapped up in the plot. So I secretly follow along with it. 

3. Whenever I sleep with stuffed animals, they always end up on the floor in the morning

4. When I was in third grade, I was obsessed with American Girl Dolls. I still kind of am.

5. I love the Anne of Green Gables series. It's awesome! If you haven't, READ IT. 

6. In almost every series (sometimes single books) I read, I develop a huge crush on a boy character, usually a funny one (Leo Valdez!) who's different from everyone else, but sometimes a seriouser one. 7

7. The strangest thing? (it's related to #6) When I develop a fictional 'crush', I think of bad things that happen to the person, and how painful it is, and how he almost dies... I know I'm supposed to want my fictional crushes to have a great life, but it is just more interesting my way. It also helps me fall asleep. 

8. My four-year-old sister has been to more than ten schools, and she's not even in Kindergarten yet. 

9. Fifth grade (last year) was the first year in my whole life that I actually finished a year of school (like, experienced the last days).

10. I was born on the winter solstice (Dec. 21, it was the solstice that year), and my sister was born on a Chinese holiday in the spring.

1. I am such a doodler I can't see a piece of paper without drawing on it. If you saw my schoolwork, it'd just be covered with random drawings of cats, OCs, and who knows what else. Usually it doesn't covered my actual work, but I can get carried away...

2. I've tried to get into animating and I created a channel in September that I (try) to frequently upload to. 

3. I also have a tendency to just randomly start singing out loud, even in quiet situations. I'll be walking down the hallway and suddenly start singing from Hamilton or Little Shop of Horrors or anything that's stuck in my head. In grocery stores, in school, in my home... wherever. 

4. I've developed a rather bad habit of staying up waaay too late browsing random videos... I know it's not healthy but the "Compliation of Dan and Phil moments" is calling to me...

5. My first toy I ever had was a wooden snake toy my parents got for me. They sat down and asked me, "What are you going to name it?", expecting something like 'Snakey' or 'Slither'. Of course, little Clouded replied with 'Nehrheruzer' (pronounced Nair-her-oo-zer). I've always had a knack for coming up with names. 

6. CB has become a pretty big part of my life. Seriously, it's funny to think that a year ago I didn't know what it even was, and now I've fallen so much in love with this site it's hard for me to not check up multiple times a day! Thank you everyone for making me feel good when I didn't myself. You're all so awesome. <3

7. I'm taking Spanish! It's really fun to learn a new language, even though Spanish has so. Many. Forms. And tenses. So much to memorize! Preterie, present, future, first person and third... it's exhausting yet fascinating. 

8. My family goes on a skiing trip about once every year or so, and even though I'm terrified of heights and really do not like the cold, I have fun anyways. 

9. My birthday is on April 14. Coincidentally, I'm turning 14 on my next one. Funny. 

10. I, too, have a bedtime companion--a blanket my grandma knitted for me before she died called simply "Flankie".

4. I have super detailed, planned out ambitions. That I'm pretty sure will never happen. (Goodness, my facts are really depressing today. My appologies!)

5. I find grammar really interesting, and enjoy learning about it, but I have horrible spelling.

6. I have tried (unsuccessfully) to keep a diary several times.

7. For two summers, I wrote detailed, long letters to a friend. Saddly, she never wrote to me :(.

8. I write stories when I want to get away from life and poetry when I want to set out my emotions on paper, and sort out my life.

9. Um... I like tea. My favorite is this Earl Grey with strawberries and cornflowers... Yum.

10 Random Facts About Me:

1. Sometimes someone will start humming some random song, and it will remind me of some random song from camp that I didn't remember until that moment.

2. I like staying in my room all day and only coming out for meals on weekends.

3. When I was in second grade I got my ears pierced. Then, about half a year later my ears bled, so now I have to wear gold earrings. 

4. I sleep with a sleeping bag and the pillow I slept with at camp on my bunk. I do this because it makes me feel like I'm at camp. XD XD XD

5. I can't stop thinking (like Abigail). I will be trying to sleep, but my brain will be going at super-fast speeds. Or, I might try to take a test, but I will hear some random Hamilton song in my head.

6. I'm writing a story with my friend, and I wrote the first three chapters, though they were very short. Then, I got writer's block. Now, I pretty much write a sentence every once in a while or I edit something my friend wrote to sound like that character. I'm pretty much having never-ending writer's block.

7. I'll say 'I hate _____' so I don't have to do ________.

8. I read sooooooo fast that I don't remember the book that I have read. It's a bad habit.

9. I LOOOOOOOOOOVE fantasy, but my bookshelf in my room is mostly realistic fiction. I think that it is because I only like fantasy as of a few years ago.

10. I am a pessimist and I mostly think that everything that someone is doing has bad motives and that every situation (like tests) will turn out with bad results. 

 

This is Cappen's second (I think) word!!! 'need'

10 Random Facts About Me

1. I live in lllinois, so I'm used to all types of weather. Or I'm supposed to be! I'm a total wimp when it comes to cold- I wore my winter coat when it was 50 degrees. Luckily, we're having a pretty mild winter where I live. 

2. Around where I live, everyone is either a Cubs or Cardinals fan, and there's a huge rivalry. I'm a White Sox fan, though. 

3. My school only has 115 or so kids, and it's preschool through eighth grade. My class, 7th grade, is grouped together with 6th and 8th- sometimes it feels like going to a one-room schoolhouse!

4. I got fed up with dealing with my hair two months ago, and chopped it all off. It's pixie cut short now.

5. I cannot finish a story/book, because I start to get new ideas or lose interest before I finish. I change all the time, and I go through about two phases every month.

6. I am a total Phangirl and obsess over bands half my time. Sigh... 

7. I read Harry Potter in 3rd grade but remember nothing about it. So, I'm kind of in that fandom but can't really contribute to it.

8. I say I'm lazy and not a morning person, but in reality I wake up at 5 every day so I have enough time to write or draw before I have to go to school (and I have to leave pretty early, too, to catch the bus)

9. It's in my nature to like things that are less known/popular, or don't get appreciated as much. For example, the White Sox, Hestia as my favorite greek god/goddess, the weird music I listen to, etc.

10. I care waaaay too much about what people think, and always feel like I am being judged. It's a fear, and I can't stop it even though I know it's irrational.
