Hi! I’m Clue,

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hi! I’m Clue,

Hi! I’m Clue, and I’m new here. I’ve been reading the CB for a while but never posted, so I thought I’d finally introduce myself~ I love reading, listening to music, soccer, playing the violin, and singing in choir (though I’m not that good yet). I also really like to write, mostly fantasy and some poetry. My favorite singer is probably Taylor Swift and my favorite song (which changes a lot) is Wonderland, which is by her. My favorite book right now is Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. I have a cat who is obsessed with the top of the kitchen cabinets. 
Also, my parents are quite strict about screentime, so I don’t know how often I’ll be able to post. I’m really excited about high school starting soon though which means I’ll have a computer to post on more often!! I’m not totally sure about my pronouns yet, but for now, any pronouns are fine. I’m super excited to join the CB!!!

I love to read and write and listen to music too. I enjoy Taylor Swifts older songs, though I listen to pretty much anything. And you have a cat!!!! love cats. What is your cat's name? and what type of cat?

Hi! It's great to meet you! (: I love Taylor Swift's older music too, especially Fearless! My cat's name is Proof, and I got her from a shelter so I'm not sure what breed is. She's mostly gray.

Hi Clue! I'm Celine (as you can see), she/her pronouns, and I love to play soccer, write fantasy/poetry, play cello/piano, and read too! Eleanor and Park is on my reading list, and I just listened to Wonderland, it's pretty good! Yay, cats (and that is so cute... my dog was gigantic and he was obsessed with squeezing himself into rly small spaces!)!!

Btw, are you named after the board game? Or just clues, or something else entirely?

Hi Clue,

I'm new to CBing too! I have been getting Cricket magazines for a while, but recently I thought I'd look here and I liked it. I also like reading and singing in choir. I write things sometimes, but I'm better at having ideas than actually adding to them. I like cats, but I don't have one. I used to have a hamster.

Hey Clue! My name's Avara and I've been here for a little over a year. I play viola and I like choir as well! Just wondering - is your name from the board game/movie or something else? Anyway, we're glad that you're joining!

@sinusoidal,

I play ukulele, clarinet, I did recorder in elementary school does than count?, kazoo, singing, piano, and I could probably figure out something simple on the guitar because of my ukulele experience. 

Mezzos Rule! Other CBer choir kids, what parts are you?

Hey Clue! I love your username! I'm pangolin, she/they pronouns. I also love Taylor Swift, especially folklore and evermore - my favorite song by her (right now, at least) is probably ivy or this is me trying. Are you excited for 1989 (Taylor's Version)?? I certainly am! :D I love reading and writing fantasy and poetry as well! There's a Poetry Contest on Pudding's Place and several writing contests on Inkwell that you might be interested in :)

I recommend checking out the CB Ultimate Guide - it's really helpful for navigating the CB and defines skne of the terms you might see around here:

It's so awesome to meet all of you!! My name isn't based off the board game, I just liked the sound of it :)

@Sinusoidal, no I don't play any other instruments but I kinda want to learn flute, and it's cool that you can play so many instruments!

@pangolin, yeah I'm super super excited about 1989 (Taylor's Version)!!!!!!!!! It's my favorite album

Hi Viney! It's great to meet you and your neighbor's cat sounds awesome~ My cat is unfortunately way boring-er (that really should be a word :))

I'm sorry that I didn't respond soon!! I do the (kind of, all that stuff about "Oh in the Suzuki method the parent has to be constantly there is just sad trash, I practice independently) Suzuki method, and I learn it from my violin instructor.
