Hi, guys, I'm Cockleburr! I use the pronouns she/her and they/them. I live in Virginia and have been an active Chatterboxer for almost three years. I have been a competative gymnast for eight years and am training to be a coach! I love drawing and ceramics, books, being outside, and writing. I have three pet chickens and have been published in Cricket's Letterbox multiple times (usually talking about said chickens). I am very into Sherlock, Doctor Who, Tamora Pierce's books, His Dark Materials, and Doctor Strange comics. If anyone else likes these things, let me know! 

Isabel, this is a great thread! I hope to see you around! 

Hi Isabel!

My name is Soren, and I live in Central Illinois with my older brother, younger sister, my parents, and my noisy, unruly dog Leo. I mostly sit around, daydream, read, sometimes write, occasionally play my nooby video games, and constantly go on here. I'm a percussionist in band and that one chorus member that sings louder than the rest. I play soccer, and my favorite position is defense. My pronouns are she/her, but I'm a huge tomboy and almost all of my friends are dudes.  

Heyo, everybody! And welcome to the CB, Isabel!! We're happy to have you. 

My name's Vyolette (said as "Vee-o-LET"), but you can call me Vy. ;) I live in [insert State's name here] and I've been on the CB for a little over a year now. Some of my hobbies include writing (I'm in the middle of writing a novel, actually! 60,000+ words so far!!), reading, running/hiking, yoga, ballet, knitting, and baking. I particularly love writing and yoga, because I find them both very relaxing and fun. Currently, I love listening to Indie Rock, such as Imagine Dragons. I'm also a big fan of movie soundtracks and jazz, with artists such as Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, etc. Some random facts about me: I'm left-handed! I personally find it a bit of a pain (because ALL of my pens SMUDGE EVERY SINGLE TIME I'm trying to write something, and then my hand is covered in ink...*sigh*), but it has its pros and cons. My favorite color is purple and in fact, Vyolette means purple in French! Or Latin! I don't really know! Some sort of forgin language; Google can't seem to make up its mind. -_- My favorite genre to both read and write in is Fantasy/Adventure/Dystopian/Hint-of-Romance. I also absolutely love cats. I only have one cat, my old tortoishell named Kitty the Explorer (I was a HUGE fan of Dora the Explorer growing up...), but I'd like to have more. I also have a Polish Dwarf bunny whose name is Alouette, Lou for short, and she's the most adorabubble thing in the world. ^-^

*waves at everyone*

Hi! I'm St.Owl. I go by St., Owl, Owly, whatever you want to call me. I'm fourteen - a freshman - and I live in New York City. I'm an avid writer and reader (current book: Paper Towns, because even though I've never been a big fan of him I still can't stop reading John Green), a piano (7 or 8 years, not sure) and violin (1 1/2 years) player, and a soccer and baseball star! Just kidding, I'm average at best. But I do enjoy playing them. I'm a big music listener, and have a very long list of bands, so, obviously, I'm going to tell you all of them! My favorites are The Beatles, David Bowie, Queen, Regina Spektor, The Punch Brothers, Panic! at the Disco, The Head and the Heart, U2, and Lindsey Stirling. Other bands I enjoy are Cory Chisel, Zee Avi, Yes, 10,000 Maniacs, Christine and the Queens, and Portgual. the Man. Keeping with the lists theme, my favorite author is probably Neil Gaiman, though I also enjoy Isaac Asimov. My favorite books are The Book Thief and Aristotle and Dante Discover The Secrets of the Universe, among others. I'm a night owl. My favorite color is purple. I'm a bit obsessed with my OCs. I spend all my free time wasting it online. I've been on the CB for almost four years. Aaaand I'm very bad at ending posts!

(P.S. @IJ: You like Nickel Creek?? Do you listen to The Punch Brothers and/or Live From Here? Because those are Chris Thile's big things now and they're both so great aaaa (Live from Here is an NPR show))
