What is the difference between Cicada, Cricket, Muse etc?
Cricket is our literary magazine for 9-14 year olds and Cicada is the lit mag for 14+. Muse is one of our science magazines for 10+ year olds. Cricket and Cicada include stories, poems, and usually one non-fiction piece (at least for Cricket), written mostly by contemporary writers who submit to us, but some classic stories as well. Muse features mostly nonfiction articles on history, science and the arts--basically anything really cool and interesting. You should check out the rest of the Cricket site and the Muse site (musemagkids.com) and read what the most current issues had in them to see which you might be interested in. -Admin

1. What is the favorite part of your room and why?

Cricket and Stone Soup.
3. What is/are your favorite animal(s)?
Dogs, horses, and wolves, but I can find something to like about all animals.

Laugh, but it's:
"I love you, Charles!"
A Wrinkle in Time, for those who don't know.

Well, I'm homeschooled, but it's language arts, which is incredibly easy.

1. What is the favorite part of your room and why? I can't choose between my bed and my wall. My bed itself is normal enough (though comfortable and high), but the blanket is pretty (it has a rose pattern on it) if not very neatly arranged (I have the bad habit of not making my bed until night, so it looks best when no-one sees it), and I have a tardigrade pillow ontop of the 2 normal pillows, and I sleep with a plush tardigrade, and it's just really relaxing for me to sit on a bed. My wall has things on it, things like a blanket with a pivture of a horse, the periodic table of elements (a completely up-to-date version, of course), pictures of the covers of books, pictures of nudibranchs (really, really, really pretty sea slugs. If you don't understand how a slug can be beautiful, you need to look up 'dudibranchs' on Google Images now.
2. Which magazines do you get and/or read? Muse
3. What is/are your favorite animal(s)? I don't really have them. I love them all. I'm most obsessed with tardigrades, of course, but I don't actually like them better than other animals; I just think they're fascinating.
4. What is your favorite book quote? I'm not sure.
5. What is your favorite subject at school? History, but it was science for most of the year and will be again soon; the only reason I don't like the subject now is that we're learning about human anatomy, which bores me
6. Are you learning/ do you speak another language? Hm... Not really, but I know a bit of Spanish
(March 4, 2011 - 3:27 pm)
1. What is the favorite part of your room and why?
Either my bed or my desk. Probably my bed. It has a ton of pillows on it, plus it's so nice to sleep in on weekends. But my desk is great for writing letters, daydreaming, drawing, etc.
2.What magazines do you get and/or read?
I used to get American Girl, as of recently, until I threw the towel in and gave my subscription to my little sister because the stories were so shallow and pointless. It makes me appreciate Cricket greatly. Plus every single issue seemed to be the same.
3.What is/are your favorite animals?
Marine animals (hopefully I'll get to go to the Georgia Aquariam for my birthday), pigs, kittens
4. What is your favorite book quote?
I don't really have a favorite book quote. But my family does have a bunch of movie quotes that we love to throw around. My specialty is putting on an Irish accent and impesonating a character from the A&E "Horatio Hornblower" series. (they zee best, watch 'em)
5.What is your favorite subject in school?
Ermmm......math, I guess? Or composition.
6. Are you learning/do you speak another language?
Latin. It's so hard, all the declentions and conjugations and such, but I'm able to identify the meanings of Enlish words, now that I know the meanings of the roots. And I know a wee bit of Spanish. Pero solo un pocito.

1)Uh..... my bed? I share a room with my little sis and her toys (she has18 dolls!!!!!) are just getting out of control! No, I love my bookshelf!
2)Cricket, and I really want to get Aiglos.
3)Hedgehogs, horses, and dogs.
4)So many-but I can't think of any right now. Here's one.
"I wish I had never lived to see these times, " said Frodo.
"So do all who live to see those times," replied Gandalf.
"All we must do though, is use wisely the tome that is given us,"
5)Writing and Mock Trial. (That's another story.)
6)Nope. Well, does Elvish count? ;)
Ciao, peoples!

Oh, bookshelves! I forgot about them. Mine are definitely my favorite parts (they're not in the same place) of my room; forget my bed and wall. I love my bookshelves so much that I decorated them with all the little things I have that are pretty, but I never really use, so that it looks nice.

1. What is the favorite part of your room and why? I don't know if I have a favorite part of my room, really. Right now I kind of like underneath my bed because it's the cleanest it's ever been- and it's cockroach free. *shivers* I stepped on one once. *double shiver*.
2. Which magazines do you get and/or read? Cricket and Odyssey.
3. What is/are your favorite animal(s)? Koalas, bunnies, and werewolves.
4. What is your favorite book quote? "Of course this is happening inside your head, but why on earth should that mean it's not real"-Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And "Just do it for the sake of it" -Marian, Robin's Country (this wasn't excactly what she said because this was just from memory since I don't actually have the book! Sorry!)
5. What is your favorite subject at school? Uhhh, I used to like grammar, but now I have to do Literature instead. Ich. Don't get me wrong, I love to read, but I just can't stand literature as a subject! I guess math is pretty good now. Some science, like ocean science and astronomy, are cool, but I don't really like any other kind.
6. Are you learning/ do you speak another language? I'm trying to learn Sign-Language, and I can speak English fluently! I think it would be super cool to make up my own language.
-Peacing out for now,
