Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

ASK ADMINS!!!

ASK ADMINS!!!

Hi everyone, I realized that we haven't had one of these in a while, so I made a new one.

@Admins,

Is being an Admin an official job? How do you get to be an Admin as a job? Also, do any of you speak Spanish? I do, and I was born in Spain. Thanks, Admins! 

 

Being an Admin is just one of the things I do in the editorial department of Cricket Media. I was already working in the editorial department when Chatterbox was created.

I don't really speak Spanish. I don't know about the others. They may. I can figure out a few words because I've studied Latin and lived in Italy for a while. (Spanish and Italian are both Romance languages, so they have some similarities.)

@Admins,

How old are you? (I am sorry if this was rude) 

Old enough to know better! Actually a better answer is that we are a variety of ages, young to older.

@Admins, 

What phone brand do you think is better? LG, Samsung, or Apple?

Thank you! 

 

I have no idea. Sorry. One may have more options, another a better price or better service, etc. It all depends upon what you want and need.

@Admins,

I have a few questions. 

What book do you recommend for 13 year olds?
Oh . . . so many good books, I can't quickly decide what to say. Look at
all the reviews on Cricket Readers Recommend and Blab About Books and
see what appeals to you.

What is the secret of life?
It's not a secret: Do your best. Be kind to others. Respect nature.

When did you start being an Admin? 2008

About how many posts do you look through each day? Too many to count! Hundreds!

What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch? Spaghetti marinara or Bolonese

Thank you for your time,

KATNISSLOVER (I come from the past!) 

What do you like for lunch?

@Admins,

My favorite lunch is spinach pasta with Parmesan cheese and meatballs. 

That sounds good to me, too!

Hi, whatever Admin is on right now! Some random questions from a Minnesota human.

How many Admins are working at this point?* Like, look around your little Admin Batcave-style thing and say hi to the person on your left. Tell them Quantum sent you. Just one.

Are you craving a sandwich? No

How many Admins are there in total?*Mainly one, plus two others who can help out if needed.

How many of you are bilingual? I don't know.

Are you bilingual? Not really. I have studied German and can handle some basic conversation at a slow pace. And I know some Italian.

Are you craving a sandwich yet? No, I just had supper!

In which section of the CB do you see the weirdest posts?* (besides ones by AEs, of course. Malachite's here too! Yaaaaaay!) I don't know. I don't usually notice where comments are going.

Are you the Blue Moon Icecream Admin? Yes, but I'm off it for good now.

If the answer to the above question is no, is the Blue Moon Icecream Admin in the Admin Batcave right now?

Is he or she the person you said hi to?

Seriously, are you craving a sandwich yet? MmMmmmM, A Saaandwiiiich... No. Wait about four hours.

Sorry. I'm hungry. It's dinnertime in Minnesota.

How many male Admins are there?* One

How many female Admins are there?* Two

What's the favorite color of the person to your right? I don't know.

Sorry about al the questions. You don't have to answer all of them, but please answer the ones with a * on them. If you want to answer all of them, great! I'm honored.

A couple of questions. Mwa...ahha...ahha.*cough*p

Do you like football? If so, what's your favorite team? Not really.

 

What is your favorite sport in the Olympics? Skiing (both downhill and cross country), figure skating, the marathon, cycling, swimming (races and synchronized), diving. I can't name one favorite.

 

Do you live near any beaches or lakes? (The closest body of water is my sink. It's in the kitchen!) A very small lake in a nearby park

 

What's your favorite book? Movie? Fandom? Tough questions! Book: Remembrance Rock by Carl Sandburg (the only novel he ever wrote, a masterpiece!). Movie: Babe

 

On your day off what are you most likely going to do? Swim or hike

 

Thanks for your time Admins!

Oooh... who did you meet that was famous? Violinist Rachel Barton Pine and figure skater Brian Boitano

What do you do in your spare time? read, swim, hike, play violin

Out of all the magazines Cricket Media publishes, which is your favorite? I can't say. Each is outstanding for its age group and interests.

What's your favorite color? blue (many shades)

Are you craving a sandwich now? No, but let me know what kind you have. I might be the next time you ask.

Do you... follow specific threads more than others? No

Are you tired? No

What time zone are you in? Central

Are you a male Admin or a female Admin? We're supposed to remain anonymous.


Which is your favorite section of the CB? Can't pick one.

Have you ever been in a spelling bee? Yes

Do all the Admins admin-ize from the same place? (the "admin Batcave", as Quantum called it XD) No

Have you been an Admin since the CB started? Yes

What is the time when the most comments get posted? It varies. If I had to say, I'd say late afternoon, early evening, and Sunday afternoon. That's when the most comments may be submitted. When they get posted depends upon what else we have to do.

Which do you like more: the mountains, the prairie, the forest, the ocean, or the desert? Definitely the mountains!

Bye, I have to sleep. Its a school night, after all.
