Hey everyone! It's

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hey everyone! It's

Hey everyone! It's me checking in. I think it's been a few months since I left and wanted to see how you all r doing? What's happened since I left? How's yall doin with the hurricanes? Who's new? Who's gone?

I'm only stopping in for like a week, and I also wanted to make an RP to get my creativeness flowing again (omk American Lit is killing my vibes) so look out for that! 

Also, anything I should check out before I go? RPs, contests, threads?

Ayee, cous! How are you? I am glad you decided to check in, it's been ages. Uhh I have no idea how to update you on everything. As far as I recall, it's been pretty quiet recently. Not a ton of people left, and not a ton of people joined (there are some of course). As for hurricanes, I think everyone is doing pretty good. Scary, sure, for those in the range but safe.

Neato, RPs are a great way to boost creativity! American Lit is "eh". I mean, some of it is fantastic! Yet in general, I prefer good old European. Shakespeare, Bronte sisters, etc. Although I do love some American ones, like Emily Dickinson!

Hmmm... We do have something like an invasion right now. "Monkwees" and "Pagwangs" according to what I saw. There are also some photo, art, and writing contests too! That might help with your creative ideas too.

Oy long lost cous! It's been awhile! And I mean, American Lit is just so.....complicated. And I can't understand half of the words they say. I have trouble with modern English! And it's so so very long. Ugh and the analysing is gonna kill me. We have a 6-paged packet due on Tuesday assigned Friday. ); 

Anyways, how's your life been? Your not anywhere near the hurricanes are you?

Gosh, yeah it's been a while! I totally understand the feeling. A friend of mine is the same way (he has dyslexia) but somehow managed to pull out great grades. I guess my tip for you is to keep trying, and you will get it. Break it up into smaller bits if you have to. 6 page packet though?! Ouch so cruel. Good luck, I know you can do it!

I've been great! Doing art and gaming as usual, and trying to get motivated to continue my book... Plus trying to figure out life, you know? College and all that. Fortunately, I'm not near the hurricanes though! Besides school, how have you been doing? Was summer good?

Ya it was a real struggle. But I got it done! I was up till like 2 am doing it tho. And I have the big AP test on Friday. So fun. ;)

And r u a Junior this year? I'm trying to work out the ages and I'll b 16 when I'm a Junior.....But of course you can always graduate early....

Anyway, ya summer was great! My brother and some friends did Billy Elliot and it was SOOOO GOOD! Some songs to listen to are Electricity, Solidary, the Letter and the Letter Rephrise, and Expressing yourself (you'll see why that one was so great. My brother was Michael). Oh, and I went and saw Frozen the musical, I really love the bew dance number they added. (Omagosh so one of my friends, the one who played Billy Elliot, SCARED ME SO BAD, he went and saw the show too and I didn't know, so he sat behind us and said something, and Omagosh my face was probably as hysterical as my brothers XD

Anyway, ya, that was my very interesting summer XD

AAAAAAHHHHHH CLAAAWS!!!!!!!!!! *jumps around* Claaws, Claaws, Claaws, you're back you're back you're back! I MISSED YOU!!!!! *tackle hugs* It's so good to see you again. When you left...it was really...painful...for me. I never really felt that I got to say a proper goodbye. I wish you could stay longer, but I'm glad to have you for a week. I was so excited when I saw you posted an RP! I hadn't seen this thread yet. (Goodness, why I do I always the CBers coming back on other threads before I see their 'I'm Back' threads?) Anyway, welcome back! Things to check out, hmm...well, I have a Dragon Hunters RP that's been going for a little bit, but you're still welcome to join and I'll be happy to catch you up on plot stuff! There's a lot of art and poetry stuff in PP and a photography contest on CaC. There's a costume party on DtE as well. Just recently Nugget said naxx, and it ,ace me think of Naax and how much we missed you!

*gasps* Nugget says Noto! That's a forest in my novel!

Leeli! *gets attacked by hug* Leeli! How have you been? I think I might join your RP, if you remind me on Tuesday maybe? Or Wednesday? Heck, I'll do it tommarow. Aww that's sweet of Nugget! *gasps* Noon was the one to come up with Naax's name....does that mean the chapatchas repeat things? *stares off into space* *snaps out of it* I missed you all too, Leeli! <3 

Side note, Noon say boyc. Boy c? Oh....do you think Nugget has a crush on Naax too? Now don't get jealous on me.....

I've been good, thanks! You? I'd love it if you joined, that'd be great, especially since we've been slow lately. Oh, I wonder if CAPTCHAS do repeat things! That would be weird. Don't worry, Nugget's a boy, so he doesn't have a crush on Naax. He might have a crush on Noon, though. ;-)

Nugget says mhah. I think he's laughing at the idea.

XD, Noon you better watch your back! 

Rrmg! Oh, I don't think she likes that idea very much XD  

Well it will at least keep her off of MY back. 

Don't get your hopes up. 

*glares at both of them* 

Anyway..... Sorry I haven't gotten to joining that yet, it's been a very stressful last few days.

Hi, Claaws, nice to meet you. *holds out hand for Claaws to shake* I am Dragonfruit. I love climbing trees, singing, drawing, writing and koalas. My 12th birthday was on the 13th. I joined the CB about 3 weeks ago, so you won't know me. I really can't wait to get to know you, as the other CBers really respect you and like you. See you around!

Hello, Claaws! My name is Vyolette (Pronounced the same as Violet). I've only been on the Chatterbox for a little over a week, so I'm still getting used to meeting so many new people! You and Ashlee G. are cousins?!!? *Sighs longingly* I wish I had a cousin on the CB. That would be SO cool!

Hi Vyolette! (That's a really cool way to spell Violet. Do you have a nickname yet? Can I call you Vy? Or Vyo?) And ya, me and Ashlee are cousins. Long lost cousins, that is. XD
