Wow, two threads in one day? I know, sounds crazy. Anyway, I recently realized that I don’t really know most of you all that well. I’d like to change that. So, I came up with a bunch of questions. Now, they’re all completely optional, so you can skip a few [or all of them] if you’d rather not answer them or if they’re not applicable to you. Anyway, here’s the question list! I’ll answer them myself once the list goes up.

What’s a nickname or pen name you use?
With my friends, I used to go by Soren, but we don't really do that anymore. I've also tried several pen names, but don't use one specifically.
Why did you chose to use your particular CB name?
As I said, Soren was my old nickname from a fandom. So, when I first started going on here, I was Soren P., The P being Potter (another fandom XP). Then I just got bored with it, then I remembered my new OC who had the awesome name Infinity, a word I really like.

Well, for a while I was having identity problems, so I was they/them, but now I'm back to she/her.

USA!
How old are you?
11.
What kind of school do you do [homeschool, public, private, other]?
I go to a private Catholic School.

What’s your favorite animal?
A pig! (Long-ish story)

Cold colors, especially blues and greens.

Umm... what do you mean... exactly...?

What do you like most about yourself mentally/emotionally?
Hmm... probably my complete uniqueness.

What fandom are you most involved in?
If by involved you mean are most obsessed with, then it's a tie between Harry Potter, Minecraft Story Mode, and Captain America.
What’s one thing that you would hate to have to live without?
THIS PLACE. I seriously don't remember my life without it.
Do you prefer a large group of friends or a small group of best friends?
Small, definitely.

Oh, theatre. Now that I'm in Junior High, I get to be part of the school musical in April!! I'm exiiiteeed!!!
(October 6, 2018 - 8:36 am)
Oh that’s awesome! Do you know what the musical for your school this year’s going to be?
(October 6, 2018 - 4:04 pm)
Well, as I said when I did the questions, I go to a Catholic school, so we do dumb plays about Bible stories that no one's ever heard of. XP
(October 7, 2018 - 7:28 pm)
Ah, gotcha. Well, I hope you enjoy it anyway!
(October 8, 2018 - 10:54 am)
What’s a nickname or pen name you use?
Aside from CB, on which I am of course Abigail, I often go by Plumcat, Symphonic, or Ellie (which is a short form of my real name).
Why did you choose to use your particular CB name?
Some of you know this, but Abigail isn't my real name. It was what my parents were going to name me, but then they decided against it. I thought that people actually did the "first name, last initial" thing and I didn't want to use my real name, so I used Abigail and it stuck.
What are your pronouns [she/her, he/him, they/them, other]?
She/her
What country do you live in?
United States
How old are you?
14
What kind of school do you do [homeschool, public, private, other]?
I go to a private school.
What’s your favorite thing to do in your free time?
I write, draw, practice piano/violin, watch online videos, listen to music, talk on the phone with my friends, and mess around with my brother.
Do you prefer animated tv shows or live action tv shows?
I like animated shows from an artistic standpoint, but otherwise, live action all the way.
What’s your favorite book/book series?
Currently, it's Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and its sequel Crooked Kingdom, but there's a lot of books I adore. Lord of the Flies, When You Reach Me, The Outsiders, and To Kill a Mockingbird come to mind.
Who’s your favorite author?
The aforementioned Leigh Bardugo, who is an awesome writer and total life goals! She's my queen and I love her. <3
What genre of music do you most often listen to?
Indie, soft pop, or musical soundtracks.
Who’s your favorite actor?
Grant Gustin, maybe? Katie McGrath? A lot of the Arrowverse actors.
What’s your favorite animal?
Birds! Soft lil round floof song birdies!
What’s your favorite color scheme?
I like things that are clean and minimalistic. Lots of white and black and gold/silver with bright colored accents.
Are you more emo or preppy?
Somewhere in between. Closer to preppy.
What is your favorite thing to “art” with?
Ink, pencil, and alcohol markers.
What’s your favorite food?
This Vietnamese dish that's basically teriyaki catfish with crispy, clay-pot rice and vegetables and onions. It's so dang good.
What’s your best subject in school?
Right now? Bio. Ironic considering that it's my least favorite subject.
What’s your favorite article of clothing?
Ooh! This gorgeous vintage dress that my mom gave to me, it used to be my grandma's! It's like, genuinely from the 1940's and floral and flowy and so pretty, I love it.
What’s your favorite writing trope?
What do you like most about yourself physically?
I like how I look in general (most of the time). Specifically, I like my hair and how I look in most clothes.
What do you like most about yourself mentally/emotionally?
I like that I'm intelligent, extroverted, and good at making friends.
Do you like school?
Ehh.... mostly.
What fandom are you most involved in?
Sanders Sides.
What’s one thing that you would hate to have to live without?
My friends. Or air conditioning.
Do you prefer a large group of friends or a small group of best friends?
I like how things are for me right now and I'm not sure how that fits. Somewhere in between? I have about eight super-close best friends and a lot of chill, casual friends.
(October 5, 2018 - 7:32 pm)
Oh my goodness that vintage dress sounds so cool!
yOU WATCH THOMAS SANDERS??? yesss omk. who’s your favorite side?
Thanks for answering the “q’s”!
Have a great day/night!
-Night
(October 5, 2018 - 9:06 pm)
Ahhh hi a fellow Fander! Heck yeah I watch Thomas Sanders!! I'm SO!! HYPE!!! For the next Sides video, it's probably unhealthy. My favorite is Roman with Logan in a very close second. Actually, I think I like them about the same amount, I'm just more aggressive about my love for Roman. :P How about you?
Also, I just realized I didn't answer the writing trope question. I think my answer would have to be arguments. Super dramatic, crying, angsty stuff, shaking people by their shoulders and tearful confessions and door slamming. Either that or sympathetic villains.
(Ookz says xovw. I don't know about the vw part but XO? As in a hug and kiss? Aw, that's cute. Love you too, buddy.)
(October 5, 2018 - 11:20 pm)
Honestly, same here, lol.
Oh man that’s a good one! This questionnaire is just reminding me of all the best tropes that I love.
(October 6, 2018 - 4:08 pm)
What's a nickname or pen name you use?
Besides St.Owl and variations of it, I go by Brig when needing a more "realistic" name (though it's not my real name) and Joan D. Plume is my pen name. (from French nom de plume.)
Why did you choose your particular CB name?
LONG STORY TIME.
So I was on Pottermore in Ye Olde Days of Yore when it actually had a chatroom. And I loved it. It was my favorite thing. Pottermore usernames were randomly assigned, so a lot of people made up "nicknames" for themselves, and they'd sign every post with it. Eventually I decided I wanted my nickname to be my Patronus. But I kept getting either a stag or an owl, so I combined them into one animal - the stowl.
Pottermore has an automatic content filter. It won't let through swears or words it doesn't recognize. Stowl isn't a word, so it wouldn't let it through. But St.owl is a word! It gradually morphed into St.Owl as the years went by (that was way back in fifth grade), but it's stuck ever since.
What are your pronouns?
I use she/her. :)
What country do you live in?
I live in the Country of New York. :p
How old are you?
Fourteen, freshman!
What kind of school do you do?
I go to public school!
What's your favorite thing to do in your free time?
What is this "free time" you speak of? >.>
I like writing, browsing various forums, spending unhealthy amounts of time on Pinterest, and bingeing TV shows!
Do you prefer animated TV shows or live action TV shows?
I don't really have a preference! It depends a lot more on the show than the style.
What's your favorite book/book series?
Welll, of course, I've got, like, a list. But some of my tops are Harry Potter, The Book Thief, and Aristotle and Dante Discover The Secrets of the Universe (a GEM).
Who's your favorite author?
That's HARD. But I may have to say Neil Gaiman. He's SO GOOD.
What genre of music do you most often listen to?
Rock! Though I listen to a few other genres as well.
Who's your favorite actor?
I have many :p Benedict Cumberbatch and David Tennant are up there, though. (I saw David Tennant live once! Performing Richard III! It was very exciting!)
What's your favorite animal?
Cats. And dogs. And owl calls. (telephones and payphone stalls . . . )
What's your favorite color scheme?
I have nooooo idea. My favorite color is purple, if that counts.
Are you more emo or preppy?
I lowkey try to be preppy. But I lean towards emo anyway.
What is your favorite thing to "art" with?
A pencil. Or graphics tablet. Depends on what I'm arting. (I'm better at nonhumans digitally, and humans traditionally.)
What's your favorite food?
Bagels!
What's your best subject in school?
I don't know about my best . . . that might be history.
What's your favorite article of clothing?
Sweatshirts!! I LIVE through sweatshirts.
What's your favorite writing trope?
Action. Sequence. Banterrrr.
Also, bonus movie trope:
"Take out all your weapons."
*dumps weapons on the table*
"I said all of them."
*dumps an equal amount of weapons onto the table, taking them from more and more ridiculous places*
*raises eyebrow*
*removes a small knife*
What do you like most about yourself physically?
Oh, we just had to do this in health. I said the color of my eyes. They're grey-blue. Pretty.
(honestly I have a really bad self-image so this was hard for me to do)
What do you like most about yourself mentally/emotionally?
I like that I'm getting better at giving advice to others. A lot of times it seems to work. And it makes me feel good when people turn to me for help.
Do you like school?
I don't like the execution. School has been designed like a 9-to-5 job. Nobody wants to be there. Everybody's dead halfway through the day. There's no engagement and too many requirements.
That's why I like college a little better. You get to pick your own courses, design your own schedule, and persue your own interests. I just wish that structure could come earlier.
Short answer: I like learning. I don't like school.
What fandom are you most involved in?
Judging by my Pinterest boards, Marvel. But that's just because I live for the memes.
It's probably Sherlock, honestly.
What's one thing that you would hate to have to live without?
Writing or books.
Do you prefer a large group of friends or a small group of best friends?
I like a small group of best friends, and then a large and extensive group of People I Am Friendly With And Will Hang Out With On Occasion.
(October 5, 2018 - 11:44 pm)
Hi, St! It's good to see you! I LOVE Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, it's such a beautiful book. I think I cried reading it. Also, that movie trope with the weapons— I totally agree. Stuff like that gets my every time.
(October 6, 2018 - 10:39 am)
Oh wow, that’s a cool story for how you got your CB name!
The internet can be soooo addicting oh my gosh. I’m on it way too much tbh.
Oh my goodness that’s so awesome that you got to see David Tennant live! He’s one of my favorite actors as well.
Sweatshirts are the best, no doubt.
yES THAT TROPE IS AMAZING!! gosh i forgot all about that one! i love it in movies especially.
Aw i’m sorry you don’t think too highly of yourself. I know that’s tough. I know without a doubt though that you are beautiful no matter what. And not just on the outside either.
That's,,, probably the best reasoning to not like school that i’ve ever heard.
Thanks for answering the “q’s”!
Have a great day/night!
