Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Introduce Yoursel
Introduce Yourself!
Hello, people! I want to know: Who are you? Likes, dislikes, family, favorites, pets, hobbies, personality, etc.
I’ll start: I am Wolfy, and I identify as she/her. I love animals, and my favorite is the wolf. I am new to the CB, but I like it already. My favorite color is indigo, and my favorite subject is math. I have a dog and a cat, and a younger sister. I want to live in Canada and be a teacher when I grow up. I like discussing politics (tho prob not in the CB), world problems and how to solve them, and economics. I am Jewish and part German, unknown Eastern European, Puerto Rican, Martiniquan (did I spell that right?), French, and Senegalese. I have curly brown armpit-length hair, and chocolate eyes. I like Hamilton A LOT. My favorite books include Little Women, The Hunger Games, and the Little House books. I fell in love with Cricket before I even opened my first issue. I enjoy writing, but I have started a million stories and finished 0. I like to bike, play outside and inside, and I want to go to an adventure playground. I live on Long Island. I think school is fun, and I go full remote. I know 60 digits of pi. My favorite food is lobster. I have been to the same camp for 5 weeks total, since 2017. If I go this year, that number will become 8. I go to Maine every summer to see my grandma. That’s all about me, now I want to hear about YOU!
P.S. What do you and I have in common?
*”you” refers to whoever sees this (my rational voice says, “Duh!”, but I’m adding this anyway)

Hi! This is a good idea. I've been on the CB since June but I never made an introduction thread :) By the way, is your name based on the movie Wolfwalkers or is that just a coincidence?
I am Lupine (well not in real life, though that would be cool) also she/her. I am part Japanese, part white (not sure what countries), and part Mexican. My favorite food is sushi, favorite animals are foxes, dolphins, and capybaras (because they're so cute I really want to see one), and favorite color is green. My favorite places are my house, my cousins' house, and Hawaii (I went to the Big Island to visit a friend once--wait no twice--and it is literally the coolest place ever.) My favorite song is "fever dream" by mxmtoon and my favorite singers are mxmtoon, Enya, Teresa Bright, and Brandi Carlile (which is a really weird combination). Favorite books are HARRY POTTER, Goodbye Stranger by Rebecca Stead, the Penderwicks series by Jeanne Birdsall, and like...five million others which I won't list here to spare your eyes and also the admins' time. I play the violin and am in a youth orchestra, which just started going in person (outside). I also...own a flute and a ukulele...but I don't know if I should say I really play them because I haven't touched my flute in over a year and I only have like 3 chords memorized on ukulele? So I sort of play those. I like writing and the longest thing I've written was 125 pages long (in Word) and I submitted it to a novel contest! But didn't win. I also like to draw and paint (watercolor--I just started acrylic for my art class and it is so messy, it gets all over the place and then I have to spend like half an hour cleaning brushes and palettes. I haven't actually painted much yet though.) I have two parents, a younger brother, two cats, and some fish. I live on the opposite side of the country from Wolfy.
Wow that was long and very rambling! Anyway, I can't wait to see what other people post :)

Omg, yes, my name is based on Wolfwalkers! I was wondering if anyone would get that, haha. I also have about five million favorite books, that’s why I said “some of my favorites”. It’s nice to meet you, Lupine!
(April 8, 2021 - 7:24 am)
That movie is relaly good :) Nice to meet you too!

My name is Hazel Magnolia (not in real life, obviously, I just really like the name Hazel and I love the flower magnolia) I have straight blonde hair and dark gray eyes. my pronouns are she/her and I am very supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. I have 2 parents, a sister, and a cat. I love all animals, and my favorite one is probably the hummingbird, the bee, or the monarch (I like pollinators) I love cricket, even though the issues are technically for my sister I read them way more than she does. My family is from Germany on both sides and scandinavia on my mom's side (I'm really tall) I LOVE Hamilton, books, cooking, baking, sports, and I am an acrobat in the circus.
OK, that was the longest message I've ever written.
This is a good idea btw!

I also LOOOOVE Hamilton, baking, cooking, and I am also part German! I also like mangolias, and I also support the LGBTQ+ community! I am going to start a cooking and baking tab, so that people can share recipies, and pics of stuff they make.

Oh and I live in Boston and go to maine every weekend in the summer. My family is from South Carolina

I am Lazerbat, and I identify as he/him. Part of my family is Jewish, the other part is Christan. My favorite color is Orange, and my favorite subject is social studies or science. I want to become a software engineer or cybersecurity expert or something along those lines. I am a huge movie buff, and especially love classic movies. My music taste is extremely weird, including but not limited too: Classical, lofi hip-hop, Jazz, Heavy metal, Rock, Alternative Rock, Indie, Vaporwave, Electronic and other. My favorite books are Harry potter as a series, Hunger games catching fire, First Artemis fowl, The hobbit, and Ready player one. I am reading the sequel to ready player one. I live in Ohio, and am currently doing remote school. I love biking and going on my scooter. I'm going to try to learn how to skateboard this year. I have written most of one story, abandoned it, and started a new one. I am still working on the new one. Oh also, my family has one cat named Cleo and one fish named Sammy.

Ayyyyyyy! Hi to another half-Jewish half-Christian kid! (i think i won't follow any religons when i grow up though)
(April 10, 2021 - 12:40 pm)
My mom is Christian, and my dad is Jewish. I guess I'm not technically Jewish, but if you ask me, it's about belief, not about technicallity. I think your name is funny, in a good way. I also love the Hunger Games, but Catching Fire kind of gave me nightmares. I don't know how much of this I already said, hehe.

Hi, I'm pangolin. I'm genderfae, and my pronouns are she/they. I'm 11 years old and in 6th grade. My favorite subject is theater and I want to become a director, either for plays or movies, when I grow up. I don't really have a favorite color but I like blue, green, purple, and black (which isn't technically a color but who cares). I have two cats, a fish, and a little sister. My hobbies include sketching and drawing, writing, reading, and biking. My favorite books are Harry Potter, the Secret Series by Psuedonymous Bosch, the Bad Books also by Psuedonymous Bosch, the Nevermoor Series by Jessica Townsend, The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill, Holes by Louis Sachar, and anything by Kate DiCamillo. My favorite movies are Goonies, The Three Amigos, The Princess Bride, and Back To The Future (I just realized that all of these movies are from the 1980s and I honestly don't know why). Some sports I play are softball, soccer, volleyball, and swimming. I was born and raised (well I'm still being raised I guess but whatever) in New York City, but I am mostly Irish, about a quarter Indonesian, a bit Dutch, and a bit German. I have orangey-reddish hair that reaches my shoulders, blue-gray eyes, tanned skin, and more than a few freckles. I apparently have a New York accent but it's not as strong as a lot of other people I know. I like school even though I'm struggling with math and science, and have been fully remote since last March. My school is starting back up next week though, and I'm both excited and nervous. I'm signed up to go to a summer camp this year because my parents felt bad about my lack of social interactions during the pandemic. This will be my first year going to summer camp, and I'm really looking forward to going.

I'll probably do an introduction later, but I wanted to pop in and say The Princess Bride and The Goonies are my favorite movies too!!
(April 8, 2021 - 1:27 pm)
Kate DiCamillo is an awesome author!!
(April 8, 2021 - 6:55 pm)
My mom told me Kate DiCamillo used to write for Cricket! My favorite book by her is probably Because of Win Dixie or Beverly, Right Here.
(April 9, 2021 - 8:39 am)
Oh wow, that's cool! My mom has some old Crickets, I wonder if I can find her in any of them.
