1. What's your favorite movie and why?

My favorite movie (right now, anyway) is called "Marie's Story". It is about a blind and deaf girl learning how to communicate. I did not think it was boring at all, and very touching. 

2. What's your favorite book and why?

My favorite book(S) are the Land of Stories series. They combine all fairytales into one land and oh, words cannot describe it. 

3. What are the coolest usernames on Chatterbox and why?

Mei-xue is a pretty cool name! I love how she took her heritage and made her username reflect that. 

4. Who are some of your favorite CBers and why? Everyone is special, though. But still, whom do you really like/admire?

I really love Cho Chang, we are friends in real life and she was the one who introduced me to the Chatterbox. Mei is great too, I have "peacefully disagreed" (ok, maybe not peacefully) with her, but really respect her for standing up for herself.

5.  What are some of your CB pet peeves?

I dislike stories, RP's, ect. in the wrong place. I have to say i love wars, they are so interesting. I also dislike (war coming on here! But please don't comment on this) "I need help" or "I need support" threads. I didn't express my feelings this energetically on the "Please read this!" thread, but I did here. I kinda feel like debating right now. 

6. Say something good about the Admins. Seriously, we should appreciate them more. 

Thank you Admins for taking the time to evaluate the comments we post! If you didn't, I wouldn't be allowed on here.

1. What's your favorite movie and why? Ooh. Hrd choice. I like Harry Potter, although I've only watched 1-3, Star Wars, Star Trek, Frozen, Cinderella 2015, (unanimated but still Disney) other Disney movies, and lots more. So, I can't answer that one.

2. What's your favorite book and why? Again, can't answer that one. Harry Potter, Redwall, Castaways of the Flying Dutchman, Narnia, the Half Magic series, The Hobbit and LotR, Warriors, (although my mom stopped me in the middle of one of the many series and said she didn't want me reading any more because they were junk. :( )

3. What are the coolest usernames on Chatterbox and why? Let's see... Esthelle, because it sounds so poetic and pretty, Cayke the Cook, Micearenice, Mei-xue, and lots others.

4. Who are some of your favorite CBers and why? Everyone is special, though. But still, whom do you really like/admire? Scylla, OtR, balletandbow, Cho Chang, Danie, and lots others, also.

5.  What are some of your CB pet peeves? Typos, wrong spelling.

6. Say something good about the Admins. Seriously, we should appreciate them more. Thank you, Admins, for reading all the posts to make sure it's safe, for helping when we can't find a thread, and for editing posts when we ask you to.

1. What's your favorite movie and why?

Um...I don't like movies that much. I like a lot of Pixar movies, and the Sound of Music is an amazing classic, of course.  

2. What's your favorite book and why?

The Phantom Tollbooth was my favorite book since I read it with my parents in first gradeish. It is an incredible work of puns, logic, words, and numbers (but mostly words--go Dictionopolis!) that I still adore to this day. 

3. What are the coolest usernames on Chatterbox and why?

The Chocobookaholic, because who doesn't like books and chocolate? Also, Arabella Intersteller is, in my opinion, an awesome name.

4. Who are some of your favorite CBers and why? Everyone is special, though. But still, whom do you really like/admire?

I like Rosebud for her clarity and honesty, SE for her down-to-earth (oops) grit, Cockleburr for sharing subjects of interest with me and being very nice, and of course Cayke, for being spunky, creative and fantastic! 

5.  What are some of your CB pet peeves?

I don't like emojis very much.

Also, though I hate to break it to you, I don't really like when people use the Anime Avatar creator instead of writing CB descriptions. I used to love the care people put into those appearance threads! (Not that people don't put care into the anime avatars. I make a lot of them even though I don't post them, and they take quite some work!) 

6. Say something good about the Admins. Seriously, we should appreciate them more. 

ADMINS! YOU ARE AMAZING! PLEASE FORGIVE THE CAPSLOCK, BUT THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU DO EVERYDAY--YOU LOOK THROUGH ALL THE POSTS TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T HAVE TOO MANY CONFUSING OR RUDE STUFF IN THEM. SO, YAY ADMINS!

1. What's your favorite movie and why? I love Monty Python, it's just so funny! I also love the Lion King, Mary Poppins, any Harry Potter movies (exept the 5th), Wallace and Gromet... the list goes on...

2. What's your favorite book and why? Oooh, a toughie! Let's see... Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Warriors, anything by Tamora Peirce, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, Luca and the Fire of Life, A Wrinkle in Time, the Savvy series... I could go on forever!

3. What are the coolest usernames on Chatterbox and why? (I have very faint Synesthesia, so I'll give you the colors I see with the names.) I love Scylla's it's so unique! Her name is the color of newly sprouted grass with an undercurrent of the color of the ocean on a clear day. Cho is Carolina sky blue! Katydid is the color of a Redwood in the sun, mixed with the sparkle of early morning dew. Over the Rainbow is bright, cheerful cherry red, with a scrap of blue at the back!

4. Who are some of your favorite CBers and why? Everyone is special, though. But still, whom do you really like/admire? Katydid, because she is one of my closest friends on the Cb (at least, I hope so) and she is a creative and inspired writer. Scylla is an incredible artist, and a great writer. Cho is funny and friendly and cool. OtR is careing and so kind!

5.  What are some of your CB pet peeves? I honestly don't have that many. However, a big one is when people tell me I'm posting my thread in the wrong place. 

6. Say something good about the Admins. Seriously, we should appreciate them more. They are amazing. They always make sure to cut out whatever I regret writing just after I post it, so thank you!

1. What's your favorite movie and why? Um, the BBC Pride and Predjudice mini-series, because it stays close to the plot, and because Colin Firth.

2. What's your favorite book and why? NEVER ASK A BOOKWORM WHAT THEIR FAVORITE BOOK IS! I can not simply CHOOSE ONE! Some are Anne of Green Gable, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Betsy-Tacy series, Mother-Daughter Book Club series, To Kill a Mockingbird, Little Women... I could go on. Because they are amazingly well written books, and have the best plots and charries.

3. What are the coolest usernames on Chatterbox and why? Hmmm... I've alway's thought Katydid's was super creative. Scylla and Esthelle are really pretty names too. Also Over the Rainbow, because it's a location as a name.

4. Who are some of your favorite CBers and why? Everyone is special, though. But still, whom do you really like/admire?

Okay, here goes. OtR, because she seems so human, like someone I could spend hours and hours chatting with. Cayke, because she's so sunshiny and cheerful. Brookeira, Somebody, St. Owl, and Danie, because they always have amazing ideas and were my idols when I first came on. Mei, because she is so passionate. Scylla and Indigo for their strong personalities and writing. Rosebud, for seeming to be perfect at everything :). SE and Ruby, for having lovely ideas and deep thoughts to share with us all. Cho, just for being Cho. Esthelle, for her maturity and kindness. Katydid, for her cheerfulness and meaningful RP posts. Leaf, for always being there for everyone. Jack-a-Nat, for posting so much. The Riddler and Abi, for the super creative picturings they make. And every single one of you for being a part of the CB. This place wouldn't be the same without you.

5.  What are some of your CB pet peeves? Wars. I really don't like them. ANd impropper grammar. Also when people post super-duper-often on RPs, as wierd as that sounds.

6. Say something good about the Admins. Seriously, we should appreciate them more.  

Of course! Admins, you are lovely people. You read through every single one of our posts, and are always there for us, no matter what. You go out of your way to complete our requests. I really, really appreciate the fact that you're here for us. Thank you.

1. What's your favorite movie and why?

I like the movie 101 Dalmations. I really miss the beautiful, old skething Disney art style, and the songs are very catchy.

2. What's your favorite book and why?

Ummmm... I have so many favorite books! One of my favorites is The Dragon of Lonely Island, though. The writing is absolutely amazing.

3. What are the coolest usernames on Chtterbox and why?

Everyone always comes up with really cool names, but I especially like The Riddler, Cockleburr, Scylla, Shadowmoon, and Brookeira. All the names are awesome and imagnative, though.  

4. Who are some of your favorite CBers and why? Everyone is special, though. But still, whom do you really like/admire?

Well...

Owlgirl was the first CBers who made an impression on me, so she's admirable to me.

Mei is very, very, outspoken.I can appreciate that a lot.

When Coconut had the Warrior's RP she made, the determination she had to keep it alive struck me as good.

Owlgirl loves Hamilton. I love Hamilton. You can't ignore that.

5. What are some of your CB pet peeves?

Hmm, bad grammar. My friends call me 'the grammar polive'. Seriously, no offense, but the "bad grammar" thread in DtE hurts me. EEeee...

6. Say something good about the Admins. Seriously, we should appreciate them more.

I appreciate them so much! Seriously, these people dedicate their time to help us hare our ideas I don't think anything I can say can make me more grateful to the Admins for everything they do.

1. Oh I couldn't choose . . . seen so many. I really like the new Disney movies, and if I really had to, probably Tangled or the Lego Movie.

2. The Tale of Despereaux!!! It has a cool plot, and the morale is great and it's about adorbale mice and it's funny and interesting and stuuuff.

3. Clouded Leopard, Mei-Xue, Applejaguar, Phantom N., Katydid, actually I like everyone's nicknames.

4. I don't really admire anyone exactly, but I do like Scylla's art skills, Abigails' writing skills, and I am friends with BHR, Indigo, Danie, Air, Shadow Dragon, and Ruby M and some others I probably forgot to menion.

5. When the RP you're in diessssss. 

6. Yeesss. Admin(s), if the CB didn't have you, it'd be a complete mess. You keep us safe and only let the kind people in. I've been in several online forums, and none measure up to this one. I think one of the biggest reason is because of you guys. Once I got caught in a terrible spamming thing on a site, and it was scary...

1. What's your favorite movie and why?

Currently, it's Captain America: Civil War, for a really, lovely plot,  Spirited Away, for the beautiful animation, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, for the messegde in it.

2. What's your favorite book and why?

Not of all time, but l really like Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children, and it's two sequals, Hollow City and Library of Souls. l like it because it's a type of book l've never read before, part horror, part historical fiction, and part fantasy.

3. What are the coolest usernames on Chatterbox and why?

Hrm......Hard one. l've always liked Indigo's name, and Winter Firefly's. Oh, and TNO. 

4. Who are some of your favorite CBers and why? Everyone is special, though. But still, whom do you really like/admire?

Oh come on. Why this question, yet again? Why do you even want to know? Is it to draw lines in the sand, to say "These people are my friends, and no one else", Or is it a way of trying to figure out if people like you, if you're "popular", if anyone is actually your friend, or notices you. Is it for self-validantion and a feeling of security, like "Yes, yes, these people are really my friends, they value me as a person." 

But l'll answer it anyways. l admire no one, l try to keep a level of respect for everyone, and some people l respect more then others, but admire? No. 

As for like, l get along with most everyone, but there are people that l know better then others. So? What's the point? 

5.  What are some of your CB pet peeves?

Grammer/Spelling Police, dying roleplays, and your formatting getting messed up because you copy and paste it. 

6. Say something good about the Admins. Seriously, we should appreciate them more. 

Ah, yes. Thank you, Admins, for putting up with our general insanity, for offering advice, and for fixing various problems, and for bearing with all of my rather strange writing and comments.

For that, and much more, thank you, many a time over.

2. DONOTASKMETHATQUESTIONORELSEYOURISKSERIOUSINJURY!! Sorry.

3. Savvy44x (cus it sounds cool ;D), St. Owl (Because of the story behind it and the imagination), Esthelle (Because it sounds Tolkienish), Katydid (Because it's staying along the lines of buggies), Danie (Cus I like it), uhhh, Cloudy Dweller (IMAGINATIVE!) ....

1. What's your favorite movie and why?

I don't usually watch things on screens, but Zootopia and The Peanuts Movie were both good and funny.

2. What's your favorite book and why?

Never ask me that question unless you want to wait for 6 hours while I rattle off book titles. To name one, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn because aah, all the feels! The characters! The situations! And the writing is just spectacular.

3. What are the coolest usernames on Chatterbox and why?

Savvy, because it sounds cool, Scylla, because it looks really pretty and sounds equally nice, Elvina, because I like the combonation of sounds, and Arabella Interstellar because it's plain awesome.

4. Who are some of your favorite CBers and why? Everyone is special, though. But still, whom do you really like/admire?

Not again. 

5.  What are some of your CB pet peeves?

The emojis just aren't my thing. Bad grammar makes me want to chuck something out the window. I also dislike when people protest against a specific thread/type of thread. If you don't like it and other people do, why should it need to change? Just don't read the thread(s).

6. Say something good about the Admins. Seriously, we should appreciate them more. 

Admins! You keep CB going and awesome, and all the friendships, creativity, and amazing writing wouldn't be possible without you! You are the heart, the soul, the core of CB. Everything stems from you, and you work tirelessly to make all this possible. Have a huge virtual muffin of thanks!
