Hi Everyone!

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hi Everyone!

Hi Everyone!

I'm new to Chatterbox (duh) and want to get to know you guys! Please tell me a little bit about you!

 

Welcome, Koala! I'm one of three Admins who post comments on the Chatterbox. We lover hearing from everyone.

Salutations, Koala!  I am Gollum from Mooseflower.  Previously Holmes (S.) from Baker Street.  Most recently Helen S from Woodstockny.  I'm always 12.  I think this might be a sign of multiple personalities (which my best friends suffers from.  I have witnessed him fight with two of them.  I think he ended up killing the German guy.  Anyway...)  I'm a writer.  I knit.  I like to read.  And other stuff.  I'm a Nerdfighter (which is a community you should consider joining). 

Chatter Box Dictionary Time:

Inkwell: The chatterbox section where you talk about your writing.  Or writing in general.  A lot of RPs and RRs (more on that later) spring up in this happy little place.  No one's thought of an abbreviation for this yet.  I am proposing InkW.  

Blab about Books: The chatterbox section for talking about books, authors and other things in that same species.  Quote games happen here.  Abbrieviation is BaB.

Down to Earth: To talk about the world around you.  Pretty much school, and other things (I'm trying not to say stuff so much.  It's not working) that happen in the world around you.  Like if you caught wind of Hurricane Sandy, (pun not intended at first) you would find a thread about it there (which is probably on the second page by now.) Abbrieviation is DtE.

Pudding's Place: To talk about the arts.  If you are in a play, you could post about it here.  Drawing threads are also happening on and off.  Abbrieviation is PP.

Chirp at Cricket: where you introduce yourself, make good-bye threads and SIs.  The QUOTIES thread is also a considerably noticable addition.  Abbrieviation is CaC.

This Month: for talking about your Cricket issue.  There isn't really an abbrieviation for this.

RP: Role Play.  You create a character and post as them in the RP thread.  Other people also post, so it's kind of like a multiple narrators RR.

RR: Round Robin.  Every one take turns writing part of a story, but you don't make your own characters.

SI: Secret Identity.  You post as a movie character/book character/make a riddle for your name and whatnot.  Other people try to guess who you are.

Spammy/Spambox/Fill In The Blank: the captcha code at the bottom of the page.  Sometimes people name theirs, and when they say a word (nice, tobi, etc.) or random letters that sound like a word, they post what they said and a translation.  This can get rather amusing.  Example: Spamster in his Spamster cage says mzka.  I like mazurkas, too!

 

I think that's the chatterbox dictionary.  You probably figured half of this out already.

DFTBA,

Helen S. (or other)

Spamster in his Spamster cage actually says mzka.  We know that mazurkas are lovely, spamster.

Really, the captchas are named all manner of crazy stuff. Mine is Garthwumpian Flopp, Garth when I am lazy. I believe L's is Spambert Spamstein, but I don't know what that's all about. There are Spamdragons, there was a Vic, there was Aetc/Detc.

There actually is a thread called Catchpa Talks (spelled wrong because fail) where all the little captchas try to take over the world. Yeah.

Garthwumpian Flopp says exfy! Expelliarmusify!

Hi Koala!!! I'm Ivy. I live in Camelot, as you can proably tell from the location box. When I first joined the Chatterbox I went by Hannah A., but I've been Ivy for quite a while now. I am a major Harry Potter fan,and some of my other favorite books are the Rick Riordan books, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, the Sisters Grimm, The Books of Bayern, and tons of other books I can't can't think of right now.  I an also kind of obsessed with BBC's Merlin, which is why I live in Camelot. I'm a Ballet, Jazz, Tap, and Contemperary dancer. I am Snow, Spanish, and a Flower in The Nutcracker this year. I am more of a cat person than a dog person, which is probably good, since I have three cats. Their names are Mouse, Snowball, and Annabeth.

One thing that Gollum (or whatever you're going by right now) forgot:

Top-The first post on a thread always sends it to one of the last pages, for some unknown reason. Some people say other things, like poke, to get the thread back to the first page.

Hi, I'm Mattie, resident nerd, one of many resident writers, resident Tolkien geek, quietly obsessed with Supernatural, and basically just another CBer like everyone else. I'm a sophomore in high school, and I live in that 'valley of humility between two mountains of conceit', North Carolina.

I listen to classical music (I play classical flute and piano), some folk/bluegrass/Celtic, some nebulous neo-Celtic stuff (think Enya), and a great deal of alternative rock, mainly Muse and Arcade Fire.  I also love Kansas.  The band, not the state.  Well, the state too.

It's great meeting you, Koala.  I hope you have fun here.  We're a crazy bunch, but we love few things better than new people.

Greetings from wherever I hail from. My name is L, and I happen to be the only CBer with a one-letter penname. Which I am fine with.

I am the self-registered ninja of awesomeness, and (one of) the resident die-hard WriMos and artists. I know my quotes. Try me. Just do. Especially song lyrics. Oooh, and that leads me into my music. ... On second thought, I shall lead myself right back out of my music, as I would be sitting here typing all night.

ANWAY, if you hear names like Niko, Felicity, Liberty, Dallas, Errol... characters form two separate NaNos that wreak havoc in my brain. Really, they're kind of horrible. I stick them in the corner and they just pop out again.

Again, HI!

Hi! I'm Melody, resident Disney Geek.  My location hovers between Disney locations.  Ask me anything Disney, I'll know it or know a way to find out.

 

I love to read and write.  My favorite books are the Kingdom Keepers series, Rick Riordan's books, and many more.

 

I have two characters named Sonny and Leota (whose name is Disney inspired) who I often bring into roleplays, random threads, and such for comedic relief.  Sonny's a self-absorbed supermodel and Leota's really sarcastic and rude.  They're both annoying and never ever listen to me.

 

My sister, Blue Fairy, posts on here often.

 

I have a really eclectic taste in music.  My three favorite bands are One Direction, the Beatles, and the Plain White T's.  My favorite song right now is The Rhythm of Love by the Plain White T's.

 

I think that's me in a nutshell.  See ya real soon!

Hi! I'm Elizabeth! Nice to meet you. I'm a bookworm and I love to write (when I have time). My favorite genres are fantasy, historical fiction and futuristic stuff. :) I like all types of music except really loud stuff (AC/DC -.-). I'm in choir and do a lot of other stuff outside of school. :-) Anyway, I hope to see you around. :D

Ahhh nooo I live for the loud stuff. And Owl City. And indie, and most electropop, and Disney soundtracks, and progressive rock and... well, pretty much anything so long as it isn't country.

Hi Koala! I'm Red, one of the crazier people on the Chatterbox, and the only boy that regularly posts here! (There are two others, but they don't come on very often anymore.) The Chatterbox isn't that diverse, gender wise. 3 boys and one person who would prefer to remain genderless. 

I am currently taking over the world with lemmings. That's kind of my claim to fame, here and at school.

I love the band called Rush, which is awesome, and I read a lot. Hmm. I don't really fit in a nutshell. I guess  you'll just have to stick around and learn about me that way.

Actually, right now we're not so much taking over the world as scouring Antarctica for shiny things to give to the Penguin King, who will tell us who wins.

I'm Quintus, the other person who is taking over the world. Please, join my cause or tell me if you have anything shinier than magnetite to present to the Penguin King. I like Hetalia, and have created province and state anthropomorphizations (I've been calling them personifications, which is incorrect.) I'm one of the three CBers from Canada - the other two being my brother, SilverWing, who is currently absent, and Olive, who I haven't seen for a while. I also happen to like Rush.

There are many people who follow me around, and names you may hear are Ari, Rose, Alex, and Maverick. Do not be afraid, I'm just as sane as you are. Or maybe that should be turned around for maximum affect, as Luna said... whatever.

Hi Koala! Cute name! I have a little glass koala statue that I love! I'm Blonde Heroines Rule, so, therefore, you can tell I am a big fan of Blonde Heroines. Blondes are not all ditsy, flirty, incapable, and all around twits. They are in fact pretty awsome. Take Annabeth Chase. Leo could not have summed it up better than saying that he did not know where the sterotype blondes came from! Oh, sorry, there I go off on another tangent. That's something else you'll have to except about me Koala, I easily go off on other trains of thought. Well, anyway. I can't really put out anything else about me for safety reasons, but welcome to Chatterbox!

Wazup Koala! I'm A.S.! I like to read. And read. And I really like reading. And One Direction, like Melody. I also like Chameleon Circuit. And Doctor who, because bowties are cool. I'm super crazy but don't show it a lot on here, and (this will be news to everybody) I'm working on a book about The Lemming Wars, which I missed, and I'm assuming you did too. I've been here on and off for a while, but as far as I know the offs will be much less frequent and much shorter now. I'm a Wrimo, if you happen to be too, so that's cool. And, um... BUNNIES! Sorry, just had to say that. That's about all... maybe... um... I'm not good at endings... BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Rhox says brct. Be right cool to... stay. It would be right cool for you to stay. And I'm American, if you were wondering.
