Hi! Wow, I've never been in a group with just TWO other people, nevermind THREE!! :DD
Soooo... I'm super excited!!
*Panics* (What do I say I'm used to one on one)
I'm literally blanking on what to say; I've been staring at the screen for at least 10 min XD
Do y'all celebrate Chrismas? Or any holiday this month? I sorta celebrate X-mas- but I more celebrate the solstice. Well, both.
Music? What songs do you guys like? I love pretty much anything- I'm always open to suggestions! I recently have been enjoying Complicated by Avril Lavigne.
Bookssss? My 8 yr old brother is currently starting to read Percy Jackson, and I feel like I'm reading it for the first time again XD My constant refrain is "What part are you at? Is it good? ect ect" I'm also reading it anyway though. I recently re-read the Lunar Chronicles, and now bc I ran out library books I re-read KotLC as well.
Well, I guess that's enough for now. Byeeee!!

Why, hello. *holds out hand to a handshake bc why not*
I celebrate ~Hannukkah/Chanuka/a thousand other spellings, literally no one knows how to spell it~. Tonight is the... if it started on Thursday night... Let's see how to math... Fourth night?
Books!!!!! WoF!!! ALL THE RIORDANVERSE!!!!!! I just wrote down the first three paragraphs from the first book of Magnus Chase word by word from freakin' memory. I think I'm insane.
Music? Musicals! Rn I'm listening to my musical playlist (currently "Quiet" from Matilda is on)... Also I'm avoiding my overdue core hw that I detest bc just filling out these lit charts are, I'm sure, some punishment in the Fields Of Punishment in Hades, or somewhere in Tartarus (no, not the fish sauce, Percy)... I literally don't know how people do these charts without losing all of their remaining sanity...
Oh yeah back to books, I'm finally reading Keeper... only took me 3 years... heh
Oh yeah and I finally listened to Six the musical and dam it's good
shoot I should be doing my work--
bye for now y'all
(also so excited for this!! yayyy)

Why, hello yourself *shakes your hand, then pulls you into a hug* Ah, formalites.
Hannukkah! Cool <3 I have read several different short stories about that holiday- it seems a popular one to write about!
*sings* WiNgS oF fIrE
Love that series! It has the honored spot on the top shelf of my tallest book shelf XD What's your favorite characters? From the first 5 books, I'd say Glory is mine. The next 5, three way tie between Moon, Qibli, and Kinkajou. Next 5, mm, probably Cricket.
I am almost POSTIVE I've read all of Rick Rioridan's stuff. I have been finding Rick Rioridan presents books here and there, but my favorite is definetly Aru Shah and the ______.
Ooooh musicals! I love musical music to- mostly The sound of music, and Mary Poppins <3
You are?!? How are you liking KotLC so far? What book are you at?
Your location, Holding up the sky, does it have anything to do with- well, the demigods holding up the sky? :p
I gtg, but next time, I'll be back to introduce my AE's (all 8 of 'em)
(December 10, 2023 - 8:16 pm)
My absolute favorite is Kinkajou! Love her. But first arc (other than Kinkajou, ofc) would be Glory and that comes from before I even read the books but my bff Rose did and she introduced me to the books on the first day of third grade and she said "Oh I'm gonna be Sunny. Here, do you wanna be Tsunami or Glory?" and then she told me about those two in like 5 words each and I was like "GLORY" so yeah (then after she read Moon Rising she decided she liked Moon better and wanted to be Moon, but I still think of her as Sunny. Also my other bff Spring is Moon in my mind.) Aaaand then second arc? KINKAJOUUUU (also Moon's cool. And I agree, Qibli's awesome. I see why Umber has a crush on him)!! And third arc, Cricket, Bumblebee, SunWillow (wait that's a ship not a singular character... eh whatever), and Luna...
I still need to read some of the Riordanverse books, like The Chalice of the Gods, the last story in Demigods and Magicians, Camp Half-Blood Confidential, Brooklyn House Magician’s Manual, and Camp Jupiter Classified: A Probatio’s Journal...
Oh my gosh Aru Shah!! Love those books!! I was introduced to them in 4th grade when just in the begginning of lockdown, my school sent my grade a book to read (I guess for class but I don't remember that part), and it was the first book of Aru Shah.
I'm... only on the first book of KotLC... just after the meeting with Quinlin (is that how his name is spelled?). It's pretty good so far. I wouldn't say it's a good as one of my irl friends says it is (I wonder if part of why she loves it so much is bc she shares her name with the main character...), but it does fit with my other favorite book series.
My location is sort of about the demigods holding up the sky, but more of a reference to my favorite song, "Take The Weight", which does relate to Annabeth bc it's a cut song from the TLT musical and she would've sung it, sooo... The first lines are "I think I know how Atlas felt / when he got the cards he was dealt", which is how I got "Holding up the sky". That was a very long explanation, wasn't it? I seem to do that a lot...
Ah, yes. I have many many AEs in the making for about a year... I should probably introduce them soon...
Well I also seem to have to go bc gods why is homework a thing? Good night y'all
(December 10, 2023 - 9:31 pm)
Aru Shah~ The Potatoes XD
First book of KotLC is definetly one of my favs. It's introducing a lot of amazing characters (Y'know, ones that their name starts with 'K', ends in 'E', and rhymes with 'REEF') Yes, Quinlin is his name
Oh okay! Don't worry, it wasn't that long! I explained my location to Celine recently, and it was just as lengthy ;)
AE's!! And let me mention, every single one of them have a pet.
*Hiiii, I'm Daisy! She/her pronouns, please!* She's my cheerful, fun, friendly, and animal loving side. Her pet is a Pomsky named Ji. Open to shipping with boys
/Justin. He/him./ He's my brooding, grouchy, photographer, dark thoughts, but gentle side. He has a Golden Retriever, Amber. Shipped with Vireo, Amethyst's AE.
[Hey there! I'm Alyssa, she/her pronouns.] She's my athletic, prankster, shopping side. Her pet is cat named Snowflake [though heck, her name should've been SnowBALL] Shipped with Aries, Moon Wolf's AE.
{Hello! I'm Rose, it's so nice to meet you! She/her pronouns.} She's profoundly deaf, though she speaks very clearly and can lipread. and she uses American Sign Language (ASL) She's my artsy, nature-y, hippy, dancer side. She has a German Shepherd, Rainy. Open to shipping with boys
*whispers* ~Hi. I'm A-ali. She/her.~ My shy, stuttering (not that I actually stutter) math whiz, smart but distracted side. She has two small white mice, named Rolly and Polly. She doesn't want to be shipped.

>I. AM. Staceyyyyy nice to meeeet youuuuu!!! she/HER PROnouns!!!> My hyper ten year old self, candy and sweets lover, excitable, delighted at everything side. She doesn't really have a pet, but Kwani, our CAPTCHA, is usually always with her. NO shipping, but her best friend slot is FOREVER open.
And this is Typhoon (or just Ty) Say hello! -*Glares*- Well, wasn't expecting her to say anything. she's fairly new, she/her pronouns.

I celebrate Christmas. I have a Lego Guardians of The Galaxy Advent Calendar, and that's pretty cool (I got my first Lego Star-Lord minifig!)
I LOVE Aria Math; it's a song from Minecraft, and I'm actually listenin' to a version of it right now (try the piano and drum versions; so good)! I also like any type of song that has a good bass guitar in it, and I also like acappella (Pentatonix is definately my fave group!).
I read Diary of A Wimpy kid a lot. Also The Baby-Sitters Club Graphic Novels, too. I read so much, it's not even funny, LOL.
So... y'all got any suggestions on how to publish a book? I'm tryin', and I canNOT believe how complicated it is...
(December 12, 2023 - 1:43 pm)
I read Diary of A Whimpy Kid too! Which is your favorite? I think mine is... hmm. The Meltdown, maybe? and I've recently discovered the baby-sitters club graphic novels! I really enjoy them :)
I have ZERO suggestions on how to publish a book... But I want to, perhaps in the next year or so? Hopefully? It does seem pretty complicated... I try to tuck 'publishing my book' into the corner of my brain labled "To Worry About On A Rainy Day. Or Possibly Not At All."
Pentatonix! I love their Chirstmas album <333 they're crazy good!
Bye! And it's nice to meet you (offically)!
(December 12, 2023 - 3:45 pm)
I think the newest Diary of A Wimpy Kid is pretty good. Then again, I like "The Third Wheel" too...
Pentatonix is super amazin'! They have a new album out, but I can't get it from the library 'cause it's a new CD. I'll get it after the three month waitin' period is up... What is your favorite song by Pentatonix? I think Carol of The Bells is pretty good :)
(December 14, 2023 - 12:00 pm)
The newest one is alright, but I feel like it's getting kiiiiinda desperate? Idk...
Do they have a new album? I only have listened to their chrismas one... do they of others? My favorite is probably White Winter (I THINK that's what it's called?)
(December 29, 2023 - 4:18 pm)
Hi! Sorry I'm so late! T.T I had literally no time this week...
I celebrate Christmas! This year we're traveling to visit family. My cousins are about my age, so U can't wait to see them again!
Yes! Books! WINGS OF FIRE!! Kinkajou is one of my fave characters too :D I also love Riordanverse (or is it the Riordanverse? Idk) and I'm rereading the Heroes of Olympus arc! I finished The Lost Hero and am about to start The Son of Neptune. And I'm sooo excited for when I get to The Sun and the Star!! (It'll be a while, though...) And omg Aru Shah!! So good!! I have all the books and I LOVE THEM -- I've read the whole series at least twice :D
Musicals! I LOVE Six the Musical and even got to see it live! Meh seats but OMG SIX THE MUSICAL LIVE IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING. I also really like Hadestown, Hamilton and Come From Away. In addition to musicals, I also really like pop music, especially Taylor Swift! I love her evermore album. I've also been listening to Dove Cameron's new album.
Hawkstar, you said you little brother was reading Percy Jackson! I can relate so much XD my little sister is reading WoF for the first time and I CANNOT stop bugging her with stuff like "what part are you at? Who's your favorite character? Do you exponentially love it yet???"
Soo...yeah? I kinda ran out of things to talk about so... see you later I guess!! It was so nice to finally be able to see a sort of close up of people's lives and interests, on the CB it sometimes feels to me like a giant jumble of ideas and witty comments and I can never keep people straight :D thank you!
