Hello, I’m new! 

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hello, I’m new! 

Hello, I’m new! 

I go by Sendai, and I’m Kyoto’s IRL cousin. Kyoto and I have always liked to write together, and so she told me about this creative writing website called Cricket and here I am! I could also probably get to know more people also, so there’s that. :D

A few things about me: I love writing, as you know, but I’m honestly terrible at poetry. I’ve been playing hockey for nearly all my life and I also love football (not American football, and concerning the World Cup, GO FRANCE!). I’m a boy, and I’m about to turn 15 (my bday is this month!). I am also Japanese, and I’ve been to Japan a few times. I love Marvel, I like Star Trek more than Star Wars, and I like watching Steven Universe and my favourite childhood show is Phineas and Ferb. I write in what I call “proper English” but some of you may know it as UK English, just because I was brought up on writing everything that way. I can be quite random and hyper at times, so bear with me, and I can’t stand figure skating or ballet (although I have utter respect for all those who do it). I’m mostly introverted but I can be social at times, I play on my high school’s hockey team up north, aaaand...yeah! Umm...let me think...that’s all for now! Oh, my favourite colour is forest green and my favourite animal is a husky (I have two!). 

So again, hello! Tell me about yourselves!  

Welcome, Sendai. We're pleased to meet you.

Hi, Sendai! *cringes* Oops, no rhyme intended.

Welcome to the CB! I am Aspen, obsessor of all things fantasy, more specifially Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Keeper of the Lost Cities, Warriors, the Winterling trilogy, the FIRST Percy Jackson series, and did I mention Lord of the Rings? I also love Star Wars, but I can't really speak to Star Trek since I only saw one little snatch of it.

I wish I could say I've seen more Marvel movies than I have, because Marvel is great, but I would have to say my favorite one I've seen is Dr. Strange

My favorite animal is a wolf (huskies are awesome too!), and my favorite colors are black, gray and white. And forest green. 

That's so cool that you're Kyoto's cousin! She was one of my first friends on the CB when I joined a whole whopping 15 MONTHS ago! xD Yeaaaa I get random and hyper on occasion too; and I'm also a sometimes-social introvert. (INTROVERTS UNITE! ;))

Anyways, hope to see you around!

Well hello there Aspen! And thank you, Admin. :)

Lord of the Rings is pretty cool, I read most of them except for the Hobbit, although I am working on that one. Marvel is great, and I’ve read a lot of the comics also. The movies can be interpreted differently from the comics, but I still love them! I would recommend watching a starter movie like the first Captain America, Iron Man, or Avengers if you haven’t already done so. Anyway, wolves are awesome, I’ve seen a few of them before. They’re usually pretty shy though. And thank you! Yes, Kyoto just told me she quit, so I guess my timing is a bit imperfect, but she still encouraged me to come on. 

It’s very nice to meet you!

Welcome, Sendai! It's nice to meet you. Unfortunately, Kyoto left shortly after I got here, so I didn't get a good chance to get to know them.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing you around, and I too love husky dogs.

Hi Pooki! Yeah, Kyoto left which made me kinda sad but I know she believes it’s best for her. I too look forward to seeing you around! Nice to meet you! :)

Hey, Sendai! I like Phineas and Ferb too. ;) I also like Marvel, but I haven't seen many of the Marvel movies. (Just some of the first Iron Man, the first two Captain Americas[he's my favorite - YEAH CAPTAIN AMERICA!] The first Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ant Man and the Wasp). I am also quite random (MINECRAFT!!!) So yeah! I am Soren, welcome!!

Hiya Soren! Randomness unite! That’s a good combo of Marvel movies I must say, so cool! I look forward to seeing you around. :D

Welcome to the CB Sendai! My name, as you can see from the bottom of my post but I’ll say anyways, is the Riddler. I’m 15, but getting closer to 16 by now, and I’ve been on the CB for almost 2 1/2 years by now. It really is a great place for finding fellow writers and making friends. I like Marvel too, but I’ve only sent the movies. I haven’t read many comics. My favorites are probably the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. I’m actually starting field hockey this next school year, which I’ve never played before, but hopefully all will go well and I’ll keep playing for my last three years of high school. My family has been pulling for the South American teams in the World Cup, but the both got eliminated (thanks to your France!) XD but also Belgium and England (and Croatia? Without the USA in it, we’re kind of bouncing around. That’s how we ended up pulling for Senegal at first.)

Anyways, it was nice to meet you, and I hope you have a great time getting to know the CB! See you around!

Hello, Riddler (is it okay if I call you just Riddler?)! My brother actually just turned 16 a couple months ago, and I just turned 15 today! I love GotG also. Field hockey is cool, but I just love the ice and winters so much. I enjoy snowboarding and skiing too, although I’m probably a bit better at snowboarding. XD Yeah, the South American teams did alright this year (at least Coloumbia made it to the quarters), but France have just been soaring this year. I mean, I live in America, but I lived in France for a bit of my life before moving to England and a couple other places. However, I always really liked France football, so I decided to root for them this year (and of course Japan). I believe Kyoto is rooting for Belgium right now, but when it’s not the World Cup, we both root for Chelsea F.C. in England. 

It was nice to meet you also and I look forward to seeing you around! :)

Welcome Sendai! I'm Agent Winter, epic skateboarding martial arts master! I'm also a Marvel fan and a writer. I love Star Wars, but I've been meaning to check out Star Trek sometime too. You should totally check out this thread to learn more about the CB (Chatterbox):

Hi, Agent Writer! Whoa, that’s totally cool that you can skateboard and do martial arts! I can snowboard, so maybe I should try skateboarding also. You should totally check out Star Trek! I would suggest the older ones first before going into the newer ones.

Thanks for the thread! It was really helpful. :)

Well, I'm actually not that good at skateboarding, but I like to think I am :) Snowboarding sounds a lot funner, anyway! Some advice for learning how to skateboard: Be really careful. Also, I might start sitting down on a small slope. (That's how I learned, anyway.) And you're welcome for the thread! It helped me out a lot, so I'm trying to let more people know about it. See you!
