Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Cassandra: Hi everyone!
Cassandra: Hi everyone! My best friend periwinkle is joining the CB!
periwinkle: Hola! Cassandra and I are currently in the most boring class in the history of all boring classes(Spanish)- so she decided to show me this! I'm periwinkle, a violin player, writer, and artist. Ice cream and sushi are my all-time favorite foods- I just love the thought of sitting on the couch with a bowl of ice cream doing absolutely nothing. Penguins are my favorite animal and my favorite color is periwinkle. (of course)
One question though that Cassandra and I are debating; do you pronounce crayon as "cray-on" or "cran"?
It's definitely "cray-on." ;)
Cassandra: No it's not! It's "cran"!!
perwinkle: Also, fun fact:
in Canada they say "pencil crayons" instead of colored pencils.
WEIRD!
Cassandra: Anyways, before this gets out of hand... *submits*

Welcome to the CB Periwinkle! I really like your CB name! :)
If you need any help navigating the CB, just ask-although I'm pretty sure that Cassandra has already explained everything to you about it. :)
I pronounce crayon as "cran," but I suppose I should probably start calling it cray-on sometimes because that's how it's spelled anyways... *shrug*
Although interesting fact, "pencil" in english translated to french is "crayon." I think that's sort of confusing to us here in the U.S.A.... but whatever.
Anyways, welcome again! :)

Welcome, periwinkle! I'm Agent Winter, epic skateboarding fangirl and martial arts master (-ish). It's nice to meet you! I like ice cream and sushi too. And it's totally pronounced cran. I didn't know about the pencil crayon fact. That's weird! Anyway, see (or, y'know, read your comments) you around!

Hey Agent Winter,
It's cool that you like skatebording and martial arts! I've tried literally almost all of the sports in the world- swimming, ice skating, gymnastics, soccer, basketball, tennis, ping pong, dance, AND skateboarding and martial arts. I've failed all but two of them- dance and tennis.
I've been questioning for my whole lifetime about how people balance on such a skinny piece of metal and be able to go upside down in the air. It's the definition of defying gravity! I can't even go down one neighborhood sidewalk without coming back with a scraped knee. (or two. On second thought, maybe two scraped elbows as well.) So I've already given up on that.
I have noodle arms- so yeah. Martial Arts would not be good for me either.
Which reminds me again... here's another even stranger question:
Yesterday a girl in my science class asked this- Would you rather have cooked spaghetti or uncooked spaghetti as arms?
I would have cooked spaghetti because then at least I could move around.

Welcome to the CB, periwinkle! I agree with you, it's definitely cray-on. Cran just sounds...weird. I've always said crayon, and it makes more sense to me since that's how it's spelled, but my dad says cran, and so does my gramma. I didn't know that about colored pencils; weird.

Heya, Periwinkle! Nice to meet you.
I definitely pronounce crayon "cray-on". I've never even heard it pronounced "cran". Is that a thing?
eruy

apparently it is... don't ask me! I had no idea that crayon had a different pronounciation until someone...*cough cough Cassandra* pronounced it "cran" and changed my whole perspective. ;)

Hey, periwinkle! I'm Gracia! What are your hobbies?
(October 17, 2018 - 8:36 pm)
Hey Gracia! Thanks for asking!
I'm a hardcore violin player and a writer- just ask Cassandra; we've attempted partner writing many times, all of which have failed. ;) I especially like poetry, because it's inspiring and I normally dodge writer's block when I decide to write a piece.
I used to be a competitive dancer, but now I'm focused more toward tennis and ballet.
Nice to meet you!

Ooh! I play violin too! But I'm really bad at it and never practice. xD

Hello, Periwinkle! Welcome! Oh, yes, ice cream is wonderful. I just had a bowl of black rasberry, otherwise known as the most perfect flavor ever made! Pure heaven. I pronounce crayon as cray-on, seeing as there is a Y and an O in there! You can't just skip two perfectly good letters, they'll be so sad. I didn't know that about Canada and the pencil crayons! Cool, I learned a new fact today!

Hello, Periwinkle! It's nice to meet you. (Hi Cass).
And Crayon is most definately pronounced Cray-on.

Greetings and salutations periwinkle! Welcome to the CB! :) I'm Fidelity, lover of text hearts and user of British spellings. It's super cool that you know Cassandra. I wish I knew someone in real life, but sadly, I'm all alone. What books do you like to read (if you like to read)? I need a good recommendation.
<3 Fidelity
