Um Hi!  I

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Um Hi!  I

Um Hi!  I am new to Cricket. I just got referred to it by my teacher. 

I am eleven years old, I have a brother Todd who is fifteen, and a sister Michae who is nine years old.  I have two weiner dogs.  One gray and one black.  I have a mom and a dad, and over thirty cousins.  My favorite color is purple.  Also, my favorite food is *thinks hard* pasta.  I love to read and I am currently reading The 39 Clues series. (even though it is too easy)  I am trying to solve the mysteries because there is a huge prize!  That is all for now so bye everybuggy!

P.S.  I am using all middle names on this post including mine, Michelle.

*waves* Hi! I'm Koffee, the insane twin that has an obsession with bananas and rather awkward social skills. :D The Chatterbox is pretty easy to get a hang of, once you get to know everyone. Things not to mention:

Twilight (*holds head in agony*)

Global warming (huge debates will start)

And best steer clear of the Jonas Brothers too.....just some friendly advice.

Have a wonderful time and enjoy your stay! (Too hotel-clerk-y? oh well....)

Love,

Koffee the great

PS: my twin, Kake doesn't come on very often, but I'll tell her she has to! *stomps foot like a spoiled child*

Hi Michelle! I'm glad you found the Chatterbox. Please stay for a while! My name is Brynne, and I love acting, Harry Potter, writing poems, and learning American Sign Language!

How do you pronounce Michae?

Hello! Welcome to the Chatterbox! I'm 11, too! I have a 14-year-old brother named Will and a multi-colored German Shephard/Siberian Husky Labrador (mostly German s=Shepherd) mix named Sheena, along with a gerbil named Zelda.

You have more than 30 cousins?!! Wow, I  only have 2! They're 16 and 18 years old, I think, and they're both girls. And I have a mother and father as well.

My favorite color is green, but purple is my 2nd favorite.

I couldn't possibly choose a favorite food (although pasta is delicious), as I have many. And speaking of food, I'm vegan, by the way, but as I'm allergic to dairy and eggs, I'm not missing much more than I would already, so it's a lot easier than you'd think.

Pretty much everyone here is a complete bibliophile. I've never read 39 Clues, but I've heard of it. What's the prize?

And Ima isn't my real name, merely a pseudonym. All the other names I used are first names.

Hi Michelle!  Welcome to the Chatterbox and to Cricket in general!  I'm Leaf, swingin' on my tree and I have unusual moving powers (I can go on planes *gasp*).  But really I'm a 12.5-year-old girl who loves to read and write and play musical instruments, i.e., violin and piano and sometimes viola (but I'm bad at it).  Wow, over thirty cousins!  That's pretty cool!  I have *counts off on fingers* 6 cousins, all older than me, though one cousin is one day older than me.

About the Chatterbox, we are all a bunch of people who love reading and mostly writing.  If you hear strange, unusual voices in your head while on this site, this is just our plan to take over the world.  No worries.  Many of us are insane, but of course you don't really have to be to fit in. ;)  I think there is another topic that Koffee missed that you should avoid and that is Eragon.  I think I missed this argument, but I guess it's not open for comment. *shrugs*  Ask someone else if you want to know more.  

This is a fantastic place, an addictive getaway so I bet you'll have lots of fun.  Questions or comments?  Call one of us at.... okay I'm going overboard.  Just ask. :D

Hi there!

Just so you know, I am a girl.

I come on here every once-in-a-while to put in my two-cents. :)

I also love to read; right now I am reading the Wheel of Time series.

So, yup!

Fun facts about me!

YAY!

P.S. That is awsome that your teacher referred you!

Hi!  I'm Charlotte.  Welcome to the world of the Chatterboxers!  Most of us here have a sense of sarcasm and like reading and writing. Art too!  I hope you stay. A lot of people introduce themselves and leave ~sniffles~.  Anyway, glad you're here!

Hey-dee-doo-dah! Lavendershy here, also known as Emily H. or lav or so on. We are delighted to have you here! A couple things you should know about the Chatterbox:

 

1) Koffee is nuts. We all love her. Just don't get scared by her flying mangoes and stuff of that sort. :D

2) If you can't find a thread, dig around on the last couple pages. New threads go back there for some reason.

3) The Admins monitor every post and thread, so it will take a while for your post to come up. Don't worry about that - it generally takes a couple of hours. 

4) Cara C. likes ducks. She's cool. 

5) References to pies are common. Don't worry about them. And HPB is shorthand for Hot Pink Bunnies, which also should not be worried about. They're . . . odd. Both of these Chatterbox thingamawhoppers come from the magazine Muse, which is very cool. If you can ever get your hands on one, read it, and perhaps you'll start using pies too. 

 

So that's about all, as far as I can tell. Hope to see you again! *welcome pies* [} [}

 

Cheers,

lavendershy

Don't worry if you're confused by the pies. I still don't get them. :)

I'm cool? Me? Wow! Nobody's ever said I'm cool before! And yes, I'm quite obsessed with ducks. In fact, I have 12 of them. They're Anconas, which is a rare breed. An unusual person like me couldn't have Pekins or another common breed, could they? ;) Ducks are superior to chickens in so many ways, but I'll only list a few so that I don't go on all day about them. Ducks are waterproof, chickens are not. Rain doesn't bother them at all, and the more the better. Ducks are more intelligent than most chickens. I have one that recognized me out of dozens of people at the fair this summer. Ducks are less likely to peck, unless it's a broody hen, and if they do peck their blunt bills don't hurt.

Actually, HPBs are not not to be worried about. They are very evil and dangerous creatures. Stay far away from them.

Occasionally it takes up to a day or two for your comments and posts to be moderated. Once there was no moderation for almost three days. That's not typical, though.

Everyone here is kind of weird. You'll get used to it. ;)

Yes, I think you're cool. Anyone who is as crazy as you are about something like ducks is cool. My cousin Elliot is cool because he wears hot pink ties for Christmas. Things like that love I. And I meant only that references to HPBs were not to be worried about, not the actual beasties themselvs. That much I know. :D

 

Cheers,

Hey, Michelle! Welcome to Chatterbox! :) My name is Megan and I am 14. I live with my little brother and my parents, and we have lots of pets. Er, let's see... I've been on Chatterbox since April of this year and got Cricket when I was ten, stopped subscribing, and then started back up again in August of this year. Yeah, that sounded very formal...

:\ Anyway, welcome to Chatterbox and I hope you stay! :D

Hello, dear! Your teacher referred you here? A grownup? Oh no! *whispers* They know about us!

Jk. ;) Welcome to the CB, Michelle, we hope you enjoy your stay here! I'm Mary W, but you can call me Mary Liz or ML, because that's my name in RL. Hopefully soon you will adjust to our insanity, because, y'see, /that's how we roll/. If after awhile of frequenting this site you hear voices in your head, begin to experience hallucinations, obtain split personalities, feel a sudden urge to take over the planet, or any other frightening symptoms, blame us because we tend to have that affect.

Er. Sorry. I'm joking, Michelle. Kinda. ;)

Again, for real, welcome!

Hello Michelle! My name is Hannah P.. My favorite color is purple too! DARK to be excact. I'm reading The Doll People right now. It's really cute. Even though I'm 13 I still LOVE dolls. 

We have some cats that live outside. Their names are: King Julien, Petunia, Remus, and Teddy. There was one named Nymphadora, but she died.:(
