Hello! My name
Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Hello! My name
Hello! My name is Silver Crystal (not in real life)! My pronouns are she/her, and I am within the age range of 12-14 years old living somewhere in the US. I have been getting Cricket for the past two years, I think, and I've always loved the creativity and stories that come each month. I found the Chatterbox a few days ago and I thought it was really cool that people have created this whole community here with a whole history (I have already read the Ultimate Guide; it was very helpful), and I look forward to joining it!
Some things you should know about me: I love dogs, and I'm getting one in a few weeks, after spending pretty much my whole life begging. I also love, love, love to read and write; my favorite book series is a list too long to put here, but my top three would be Harry Potter (Hermione is the best), anything by Rick Riordan, which technically counts as five series (my favorite here is Reyna, and then Nico), and lastly (but not least), Lord of the Rings (Legolas is my favorite XD). I have been going to virtual school 100% for the past eight months, which is exausting, but I'm making it through.
Thanks for listening to this introduction!
- Silver Crystal
Fun Fact: My middle name translated into English means 'Silver Crystal', which is why I chose it for a username.

Welcome Silver Crystal! I really like your name. I go by Peregrine here, after the falcon.
I'm glad you found the Ultimate Guide. It was really helpful for me when I was new. If you ever have any questions there are plenty of CBers who will help you. Just ask anywhere it seems suitable.
My favorite books are the Swallows and Amazons series by Arthur Ransome, and Lord of the Rings. I really like all the characters in Lord of the Rings and I could never decide which were my favorites. They are all so well developed.
I look forward to reading you around!

Hi, Silver Crystal! It's nice to meet you. I'm Morning. It's so cool that your name means Silver Crystal in English, that's beautiful. My name means bitter rose, I think, or just plain bitter, which doesn't exactly seem like a great omen or something I would want as a username. My pronouns are also she/her, and I am within the age range of 12-14 years old living somewhere in the US, too. I think that is the average gender and country of people here, and a pretty common age, too.
That's so cool you're getting a dog! I'm a cat person mostly, but dogs are wonderful as well. Hermione is totally the best, and Nico is my second favorite Rick Riordan character as well (probably tied with Reyna and Annabeth. Leo's the best, in my opinion, although he's not as good in ToA.) And yes, virtual school is very tiring.
You've already read the Ultimate Guide, so I won't link it. Welcome to the CB, Silver Crystal! I hopei you have a good time, and feel free to ask if you need anything. (:

Welcome, Silver Crystal! I'm Lupine, though I might change my "name" soon. That's awesome that you're getting a dog. I bet it'll make online school and everything a lot less tedious! I've been doing online school too and it is BORING. :P And I love the Harry Potter & Magnus Chase series, and have watched but not read Lord of the Rings and the movies were really good. I started reading the introduction to the Fellowship of the Ring and I couldn't even finish the first few pages, it was INTENSE! But also good! Legolas is cool. Anyway I hope you like it here, and I hope to see you around!

hello! I'm Tealeaf, named after my D&D character. My pronouns are she/her. My favorite book series is probably A Series of Unfortunate Events. what type of dog are you getting? I don't have any pets, but I would like a cat. Hope you have a great time here!

Hello, Silver Crystal! I think that name is very crative. I think that you will fit in very well here. I am also very new to the chatterbox (were talking about a week). I love this place, and it is VERY weird- In a good way.
I love the Penderwicks, the Land of Stories, and Harry Potter, and A Series of Unfrotunate events, The series of Withering my Sea and Wormwood Mire (let's stop here, because I could ge on for HOURS). I love to write and draw, and am currently working on a series and illustrating it. I love cats, and I have two named Fred and George. They are orange and twins, and by now you can probably guess that they are named after the Weasly twins from Harry Potter.
I hope that you can have some fun with the chatterbox, and look foward to seeing your posts :)

Hi Tealeaf!
I am getting a poodle/spaniel mix. My mom is allergic to breeds that shed, so we had to pay to get a designer dog; otherwise we would have adopted one from the pound. Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to Chatterbox, Silver Crystal! I love your name. CB is a really cool place, I hope you enjoy it. I love Harry Potter. I am currently reading The Hobbit and I'm really enjoying it. My other favorite series are Swallows and Amazons and The Penderwicks. I also like the Greenglass House books, anything by Grace Lin and anything by Elizabeth Enright.
That is so exciting that you are getting a dog! I have a dog and a cat and I love them both. They also love each other, surprisingly. Online school definitely exhasuting and not very interesting, but we'll all get through it together.
Anyway welcome!

Hi Silver Crystal! I love that fact aout your name. My middle name translated means "beautiful," so it probably isn't that best choice for my "name" here. Actually, the story of how I chose my CB name is a lot less cool. I just kinda... typed random letters until I came up with a cool word.
I'm relatively new, as well. I joined the CB sometime early October.
It's so cool that you like Harry Potter! That' sone of my favorite series, too. My favorite book in the series is probably Prisoner of Azkaban, and I agree, Hermione is the best. I also love Rangers Apprentice. 4 subseries, all great. I've read two of the subseries and am partway through both of the others.
That's awsome that you're getting a dog! I have a dog. The story of how we got him is kind of funny :). My siblings and I had been pestering our parents for a dog for several months, as was common around Christmas time. Finally, one day, we came home from school and my parents told us to get in the car! We drove nearly an hour to get to a breeder's home (don't yell, it's not my fault we didn't rescue) to pick up our puppy! He was 8 months old, very poofy, and had a silver-white streak of fur on his back. Because of this, we named him Sparky. Now, Sparky is 3 years old. His mom is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and his dad is a poodle. His fur is black, medium-length, and curly and he is a CRAZY DOGGO. He barks so much we like to call him Barky Sparky! Are you going to get your dog from a breeder or a shelter?

Hiii Silver Crystal! I'm Starchaser, otherwise known as Starch. I love your name :)
I am also she/her (as you can see) and am 12 (only for 8 more days!) and live in the US. I know, isn't this place great? As is the magazine :D
AAAAH that's so coooool that you're getting a dog :D :D What breed??? I love dogs (a lot). I don't have one, but I did convince my mom to get guinea pigs this summer. They're adorable and amazing but they're just not dogs. Anyways...
I've read Harry Potter (yes Hermione :) :)) but nothing by Rick Riordan (I think) and definitely not Lord of the Rings. I might have to read those eventually...
And that's about it! I hope you enjoy your time here!

Howdy! I'm Howdee.
That was not my idea as a catchphrase. Credit goes to whoever wrote that for me.
