Chatterbox: Down to Earth
OK, this is
OK, this is random, but I'm starting to worry that someday I'll run into one of you by accident and never know it. That would be tragic. So I vote that we Chatterboxers come up with some phrase that we incorporate into the first conversation we have with any person, so that we will never meet each other and not know it. I'm sorry, but I'm starting to get paranoid about it. :P Suggestions as to what this Chatterboxer phrase could be?

I don't think it would be too tragic, I mean we get along fine without meeting each other, so if we met each other and didn't know it, nothing would change, would it?

Well, see, I really want to meet you all, but the Admins give us no chance of ever doing that intentionally, so I just don't want to miss an opportunity if I ever have the chance to establish real-world contact with you. Make sense? I'm not especially coherent just now.

Well, I guess, but I personally don't think we should try to, you know, get around the Admins' rules. They're here for a reason. And you all are great, but I think it's better if, you know, we just stay friends online? We've been doing fine with that, haven't we? Yes, I'm paranoid and all, but I don't think we should be trying too hard to meet up in person.
PLEASE don't be offended.

I'm hard to offend, so don't worry. :D I'm not saying we try to meet up, but I don't want to miss the chance if I get it. That's all.

Good; sorry.
I say we just do what Laura said... er, typed: if we hear a familiar name, ask if you know the Chatterbox. Simple.

It's mostly people like Koffee that I'm worried about, cause she's not gonna introduce herself as Koffee. And BellaTrix and so on.

Ha ha, then they should change their names!! hee hee. Well, I know BellaTrix is Hanna....
I don't remember if Koffee told us her real name. By the way, have you seen either of them lately?
(August 4, 2009 - 1:08 pm)
No, I haven't.
(August 8, 2009 - 1:21 pm)
Koffee's been on the Inkwell. Hey, welcome back, CC! I haven't seen you on the Chatterbox in a while.
(August 8, 2009 - 3:23 pm)
That's a neat idea, Emily. :D Hmmm, gonna
have to think on a phrase, but in the meantime,
to the front, thread!

We could just ask, "Do you know the magazine Cricket?" And if the person says, "No." Then you can just say something like, "Oh. Well, it's my favorite magazine so I was just wondering." I have to go to bed! It's late!!!! :D (my time anyway!)

How about: Hi, my name is _____ and I'm a chatterboxaholic. Just kidding. That was stupid.
Well, we pretty much always tell each other if we're going to be in someone's area, unless our parents say not to, and people are going to think us kinda strange if we say something too odd...
Or it might get picked up as a catchphrase by non chatterboxers, and then where would we be?
If we hear a familiar name, we could always say, wait, do you go on chatterbox?
Um... we could always wear a pin that says chatterbox. No, wait, I don't want that. But with a picture of cricket on it or something... but who wears pins ALL the time??
Sorry, I'm out of suggestions.... Bye!

Hee hee hee, "Chatterboxaholic!!!!!!!!!" That would be so funny. You know guys, if any of you guys meat a 13-year-old girl named Grace (or anyone else from the website) then sure you might as well say, "Hey, have you heard of the mag Cricket?" But you don't have to go everywhere saying it. (I.E. to a 20-year-old guy) :D
(August 5, 2009 - 9:01 pm)
Haha, yah that would be kinda weird. :)
(August 9, 2009 - 6:19 pm)
Hmm, well, it'd have to be something that wouldn't sound too weird, because if the person ended up not being a Chatterboxer, then that'd be a weird way to meet somebuggy... :) Maybe something like, "Just to warn you, I'm quite a Chatterbox!" or even just "I'm a Chatterbox!". :) I don't know! What do you think we should do?? That's a good idea, especially for all of the people from Washington (ahem, what's the word??), and for the few Mainahs'. :):)
