Hello!  I'm Whispers

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hello!  I'm Whispers

Hello!  I'm Whispers, one of Abigail's friends (she told me about this site). I love writing, fantasy books, chocolate cookies, and theatre. At the moment, in fact, I am watching Abigail murder someone in her scene for the Shakespeare festival. 

Anyway, I've been reading around for a few days so I think I basically undertsand the stuff that goes on here. Besides, Abi explained a lot of it. So, I decided that for you to get to know me and vice versa, I'd make a survey out of a welcome thread!

1. What is your favorite genre of book?

2. Are you a girl or a boy?

3. Do you have any pets?

4. What are you wearing right now?

5. What is in your direct line of sight at the moment?

6. What would you do if aliens landed in your yard?

7. Do you have AEs or CAPTCHAs? 

Here are my answers!

1. Fantasy or realistic fiction. Those are also my favorites to write.

2. A girl, thank you very much!

3. A fluffy poodle puppy, Cheerio. 

4. Uh, my PE uniform. Navy Nike shorts, and a gray t-shirt with my school's name across the front.

5. Abigail's character murdering someone in Macbeth.

6. Panic!!!!!!! Call the police!!!!

7. No. 

Thank you for reading!

Welcome to the CB! 

1. Fantasy, but it has to be well written.

2. Girl!

3. My cats, Molly and George, and my dog Sirius Black.

4. A green shirt with butterflies on it, and skinny jeans.

5. The Compact edition of the Oxford English dictionary.

6. Contact Starfleet acadamy.

7. Yes, Mrs E. my AE, who's based of a character from Emma, and my Captcha Whistler, who's an astromech droid. Whistler says ukww, which must be Captcha speak for welcome.

Oh, I love Emma! Is she based off of Mrs. Elton?

I had no idea your captcha was an astromech! He should get together with my Star Wars self-insert, Shandry Ethaq- the two of them could fraternize.

Hello, Whispers! It's awesome to see a new face around here. Is Abigail being Macbeth or Lady Macbeth in her play?

1. I like fantasy or science fiction best.

2. I'm a boy. Are there any others active on the CB right now....? Oh, Will is. Never mind.

3. I have 2 cats. They are both pretty amazing in weird ways. I'll attach a picture of my younger and stupider one, Jezebel, so you can see her in all her glory. 

4. I'm going to go to bed soon, so undergarments.

5. The computer. And behind that, my alarm clock and 17-year-old computer.

6. Ignore them and go about my day. I have seen some aliens before, but... not really the aliens you think of. I have schizophrenia, which is a serious mental illness that causes me to do lots of things, really, but the most prominent are see and hear things that don't exist when I'm off my meds. I'm on medication, so don't worry, I'm totally safe. I'm just here to hang out and.... I don't know. Tell the Admins they're great people, I suppose. You're great people, Admins. Everyone else here is great, too.

7. Nada

Hope to see you around the CB soon.

WHISPERS! You made it! Ha, don't any of you think I'm a serial killer, I'm just playing various murderous roles in Macbeth. :)

1. As many of y'all know, fantasy and realistic fiction! I do enjoy a dab of sci-fi as well.

2. Let's put it this way: How many boys do you know named Abigail?

3. Two lovely parakeets named Tacoma and Chihuly. They are SO cute!

4. A super-soft and comfortable grey t-shirt and black leggings. No shoes, I'm in my house!

5. The wall...

6. Make sure I wasn't dreaming then take a photo, THEN do something reasonable like shoot them with potatoes. Okay, that wasn't a serious answer, but then again, was that really a serious question?

7. Critic A is my AE (No, you're MY AE, since I am obviously more sane. Stabbing people with pens is totally normal, right?) and my CAPTCHA is Ookz (chzu).

Helloooo! Always great to see a new person here!

I'll have you know that I was introduced to CB the very same way, by a friend of mine. You may know her as Poetic Panda!

1. What is your favorite genre of book?

Well, I write mostly sci-fi and fantasy, but I absolutely loooove detective stories such as, I don't know, Case Closed! (The best series on Earth)

2. Are you a girl or a boy?

I know it's very difficult to guess from my name, but I'm a girl.

3. Do you have any pets?

Only the sweetest and most fericious Catahould Leopard puppy!

4. What are you wearing right now?

...definitely not my zebra-striped bathrobe...

5. What is in your direct line of sight at the moment?

Um, how about my bed?

6. What would you do if aliens landed in your yard?

Well, naturally, first I would run through an inspection of their appearance whilst remaining hidden but still retaining a good peripheral vision of them, alerting someone other than me such as the police or state government, listening to what language they speak, and, judging by their first and foremost actions, decide whether or not they mean to harm anyone in the vicinity and if I could make friendly and peaceful contact with them. 

Obviously.

7. Do you have any AE's or CAPTCHA'S?

Yes, I do!

Say hello, you two!

"gxcr!!"

That was Vixtion, the Mangle-resembling fox-cat.

Well well well. Nice to meet you. I am Mewfour, the classy, cool Mewtwo. 

And that was Mewfour.

Again, nice to meet you! That is a great name you've chosen!

Welcome, Whispers! That's a cool nickname! 

---

1. I'd have to say adventure fantasy.

2. Girl.

3. Nope. :(

4. My long, tight pajamas that are mismatched, the top has a fox and the bottom with French bulldogs.

5. A wicker hamper filled with dirty clothes, and the doorway to the hall.

6. I don't believe it them (am I actually a writer?), but I would first try to make friends with them, hide them from my parents, and then show the world that they do not want to take over Earth! Tbh, I think it'd be the opposite. Sorry.

7. Yes, my AE is a highly-advanced humanoid robot named Nova, and my CAPTCHA is a baby griffin. Both are characters from my books. Sadly, they do not know their future fates.

1. Realistic fiction, I guess. I used to like a lot of fantasy stuff but now the only ones I really like in that genre are Warriors.

2. Boy. @Ruby: Hey, I'm active!

3. No. I really want a cat, though =)

4. Pajamas. It's 5:30 AM and I shouldn't even be awake right now but I couldn"t sleep so...

5. A door with clothes hanging on it, a couple paintings, a light switch, etc.

6. Honestly, I don't know if there'd be enough space for them to land xD

7. Yes, Spyro and Dolphin. 

Great survey! And welcome to the CB, Whispers! I'm sure you'll have a great time!

Hi Whispers! I just joined about a week ago, so I'm pretty new here too :).

1. I adore a good fantasy, but my standards for one are very high, so I'd have to say historical fiction... or just any realistic fiction... or maybe mystery or sci fi... or maybe nonfiction...  

2. I'm a girl

3. We would have a cat, but my mom is allergic :(. So instead we have a tortoise my brother named Turtley when he was little, and a tank full of fish.

4. My owl pajamas 

5. My computer screen

6. Tell my brother to stop pulling my leg

7. I just invented, I mean, uh, met them a couple days ago. Ethereally (Ally for short) is my AE. She loves sugar, parties, and being hyper. She's always getting on my nerves, but she's so charismatic that I always forgive her. Thomas is my CAPTCHA because he always doubts what I say or do. Right now he says nrgz. Not sure what that's supposed to mean...

Hi Whispers! Welcome to the CB!!

1. NO!!!! WHY?? 

                    Sorry, she's overly dramatic with her love of books. "There are more important things in life-friendship and courage."- Hermione Granger.

NO!!! Please, don't use Hermione's quote agianst me!!!!

Again. Scaring off new CBer. 

Sorry, Whisperer. This is really hard for me. I guess... I guess...

90 MINUTES LATER 

1. Historical Fantasy

more later, have to go, sorry.

Hi again!

2. I'm a girl, a bit of a feminist, though weirdly enough I don't talk about it a lot on here.

3. I have a dog, and I used to have a fish and hermit crabs!

4. I'm wearing my pajamas including a night shirt advertising a place I've never been to, and plaid pajama pants.

5. My mother going on the ipad to look at the Chicago Park District website, which, according to her, stinks.

6. Probably try to make peace with them if they appear harmless- if they have any kind of weapons I will run- that is, if it appears that I could out run them- if it doesn't I will probably talk to them- have you seen the movie Home? It's really good! I think I'm going to be the main character, Oh, for Halloween.

                                               Stay with the topic, Bibliophile!

Sorry, I get sidetracked easily.

7. Yes! HRH (her royal highness) Queen Lavender Agatha Louisia the 67th of Riverdale is a CAPATCA, Tnof Dlob Eht Ni is the AE*, and I'm sure youv'e noticed the voice that keeps reprimanding me- this is the new AE, Isadora Violetwood!

I'm really sorry about the post before, I re-read it and it was a bit rude. I hope you like the CB! 

*I'm not saying "My AE" or "My CAPATCA" because they have both complained that it sounds too possessive...

Hi Whispers! I love most of the same things, but add gymnastics and singing! 

1. Fantasy and realistic fiction as well! But mystery is okay too.

2. A girl, obviously.

3. A medium sized Engling Springer Spaniel named Henry. If you're not sure what an English Springer Spaniel is, look it up, then add 50% cuteness and 75% freckles. The ones in pictures never have freckles, but Henry does and it's adorable. He is nearly 4 years old.

4. Black leggings (I wear black leggings every day of my life), bright pink Nike tennis shoes, and a slightly oversized (all shirts have to be slightly oversized if you always wear black leggings) grey t-shirt with a small-ish purple rectangle at the top with the words #girlgenius on it. I don't like it much, and I wouldn't consider myself a genius, but... meh.

5. My teacher at his desk grading tests we just finished (well most of us finished. Now we get to go on iPads until everyone else I'd finished). Also my desk right in front of me which has a book, a calculator, two pencils, and my statistics binder.

6. First, panic. Second, try to become their friends. Third.... probably get abducted and killed unintentionally. Oops.

7. I have AEs in real life, but not on here. Their names are Potato and BeckyTheAustrailianTourGuidWhomEveryoneKnowsIsSecretlyBritish. But you won't see them, they're not on CB. My capatcha is Bubbles. He is cute. And bubbly. 'Cause he's Bubbles.

More probably useless information about me.

I am 11, but that is too old for me, so think of me as 10.

I have a 13 year old sister. Her name is Ellie. She's on now and then.

I really like Taylor Swift, Lindsey Stirling, Alessia Cara, Pentatonix, Rachel Platten, Daya, Ellie Goulding Selena Gomez (kinda) and Taylor Swift again.

I'm from America, but I'm obsessed with England and Australia but mostly England.

Books I like- All Rick Riordan stuff, Hunger Games, Series of Unfortunate Events, Unwanteds, Dreamland (by some Robert guy I think. There are many books with this name but the one I like is about a girl named Dea and a boy named Connor.), and other lovely books like this.

I play Minecraft.

Im obsessed with the following shows; h2o, The Amazing Race, My Little Pony, Fuller House, and Gravity Falls. 

Well happy unbirthday! Bye!
