Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Survey!

  1. Are you a night owl or a early bird?

A bit of both. l like to stay up late, yet l also can wake up quite early.

2. Favorite cheese?

Provolone. Best cheese that there has ever been

3. Favorite candy?

Hoarhound candy and Bull’s Eyes.

4. Where do you want to travel?

Everywhere! Europe, South America, Antarctica, but most especially the UK.

5. What's the weather like outside?

Warm. About 45 degrees. Way too warm.

6. Animal that you least like?

Squirrels. They’re not cute, they’re pests. And deer and mice for the same reason. Deer raid our garden every year and they’re becoming a problem over here because they’re getting too tame and used to humans.

7. What's your favorite genre to read and write?

Sci-fi/Steampunk/Historical Fiction/Mystery. l find that Fantasy is horribly over used as a genre and setting, l don’t like to read it with a few exceptions and l will die if l write it, l dislike it so.

8. What would like to do in the future, after you are done with your education?

l want to travel, and to write books along with it. Also photography, as l find it interesting and are somewhat good at it. l want to do two of my favorite things: adventuring and writing.

Early bird.

Mozzarella.

Choco Starlights.

New Zealand, Germany, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii

Hah! Your weather's hardly warm. Mine's in the seventies! I'd be relieved to have it even in the fifties!

Hmm.... Probably Jerusalem Crickets. They're not actually crickets. I like crickets.

I absolutely adore fantasy and hardly read a book that isn't fantasy.

Write, be a geologist, not astronomer, maybe a chemist, only time will tell. Hallia says pnta. Paint? Hallia, you know I love painting, but artists don't make any money!

HEY! What's the big idea?! I'M Somebody! Quit impersonating me!

Sorry Somebody.

I didn't mean to.

I just couldn't think of a name and I forgot to check if I was copying somone else by accident. 

submitted by The un-real Somebody, Sorry
(November 10, 2015 - 3:40 pm)

It's okay... I just get worked up when someone impersonates me/uses the name Somebody simply because they didn't know I exist. The latter happens a lot more than you'd think.

Are you new? Hi!

Hey other-not-Somebody-somebody! Just an idea for a chatterbox name- play to your strengths if you don't have any ideas for a name. Example, I really, really like marine life and fantasy books. So, I just came up with my name- Aquina!

Sorry if this was a weird suggestion or if you already have a name.

--Aquina

1. Are you a night owl or an early bird?

This may seem cliche, but a night owl. Over the summer, my average wake-up time was 10:30 until I  Consciously changed it, and I can stay up really, really late if I want to. Unfortunately, my wake-up time is 6:00... just to get to school on time...

2. Favorite Cheese?

None of them. I don't eat cheese unless it's cooked (mac and cheese, pizza, grilled cheese, ex.), and then it's all the same.

3. Favorite candy?

York's peppermint patties! I don't think I got any for Halloween though. Bummer...

4. Where do you want to travel?
IRELAND! IRELANDIRELANDIRELAND! My parents go there every two years, and I'm never allowed to go with them! Irish mythology is so interesting, the climate is exactly what I like, and THE GIANT'S STAIR!! *sobs*

5. What's the weather like outside?

...It's dark out already, soooo.... this morning it was FREEZING FREEZING FREEZING, mostly because I was out of the house at 6:40, and when I got dismissed from school it was mildly cold. (frio pero no mucho. Random Spanish.)

6. Animal that you least like?

Well, insects are animals, so... MOSQUITOES! Or wasps. Neither of them do anything to help the environment. Wasps don't make honey, they just reproduce and sting people. And mosquitoes just suck pollen and blood. They feed bats, of course, but there are other things bats can eat.

7. What's your favorite genre to read and write?

Well, unlike South Dakota, fantasy. I love how you can do anything in a world and the readers won't criticize you for it. You could build castles that hang unsupported an inch from the ground, with a bubbling moat of lava. You could make werecats and steaming, frothing potions. And I love to see what other writers do with this freedom.

8. What would you like to do in the future, after you are done with your education?
Oh, I have my life all mapped out. I want to send a book to a publisher by age 13, so that I'm already going by the time I get my master's. Then I'm going to become more famous than JK Rowling...

Big plans... 

But if I can't be an author, then I'd be an editor. And if I couldn't be an editor, I'd be an umpire.

1. Night Owl.

2. I don't know, I've never thought much about it. I like gouda, muenster, cheddar, mozarella... I can't really narrow it down.

3. KIT KAT.

4. Ireland, Nepal, Iceland, Australia, Antarctica

5. About 40 degrees, partly cloudy.

6. Wasps. They will sacrifice their life just to cause you pain. WHO DOES THAT?

7. I love reading fantasy, and I love writing science fiction.

8. Obviously I will attept to publish a few books. I'd like to try to become a script writer or movie director. Not an actor though, I'm lousy at acting. Seriously, making a movie looks so fun. And you get to travel!
