I haven't had
I haven't had a lot of time for CB lately, which is a terrible tragedy. (I hope y'all missed me...) However, I am back with a venegance and determined to post as frequently as humanly possible. I decided, as some way to slide back in to the active side of this community, I would reintroduce myself.
Kind of.
Presenting....
10 Random Facts About Me
1. The foremost September 1st after I turned eleven, I cried because I hadn't recieved my Hogwarts letter in the mail.
2. When people ask me what I do in my free time, I'm never sure whether to say what they want to hear (read, draw, practice my violin) or what I most often actually do (watch Gravity Falls episodes and Hamilton animatics).
3. I am most certainly not a morning person.
4. In my calligraphy class we were once about to copy poems on parchment. When the teacher brought it out my I shouted, "IT'S JUST LIKE IN HARRY POTTER!"
5. Sometimes I listen to things with headphones on and I forget I'm wearing them, which leads to me bursting out and shouting "Here comes the general!" along with the song, except no one else can hear it but me. I get a lot of weird looks.
6. I really, really, like the name Quinn but somehow have never found the right character to use it on.
7. I love to draw and consider myself pretty good, but I'm really shy about showing people my work.
8. If I was a demigod, my godly parent would be Athena.
9. My brain never shuts up. No matter what I'm doing I'm always thinking something. Usually random, like: "Is it possible to run without moving your upper body at all?" or "How much of Hamilton is rhymed in couplets?"
10. I have a stuffed animal lamb named Lily who I can't sleep without. <3

Some more random facts about me:
11. I have a bad habit of picking at my scabs. Something I do to help with that is pick off all the paint off of pencils instead.
12. I am watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer right now, and singing along horribly.
13. I have a derpy dog named Pepper and weird cats name Tiger and Fritzi.
14. I paint my nails a different color every week- right now they are a coral color.
15. I did not really ever get attached to stuffed animals or play with dolls- for most of my childhood, I either drew and colored or read or played with my sister.
16. Sometimes I get something that's sort of like vertigo, and get so dizzy I feel like I'm going to faint. I'm not sure what that is.
17. Big hoodies are my weakness.
18. I think maybe I'll paint a room in my house (when I grow up) the red color of this website, because it makes me think of ya'll when I see it and it makes me happy ;)
19. This Rudolph movie is making me emotional. Also, I cry over things like the scene in Inside Out where Riley comes home.
20. I'm a catcher for my softball team. This is good because I can now squat for a very long time (which is a fairly useless skill, but...)

@Cockleburr, that is so cool! I have always wondered what it would be like to have synesthesia. What colors does Harry Potter have? What about when you talk? Can you see what colors your voice makes?
Sorry about the questions... ;) I was curious.

Do you mean what colors does the music from Harry Potter have? Hedwig's theme is mostly shades of blue, with silver for the high pitched notes. There are also a lot of silvery streamers! The name 'Harry' is dark green, the color of a creek, with red in the middle and yellow on the side. 'Potter' is redish-orange, a scrap of green, dull bronze in the middle and a tiny bit of red on the end.
Talking itself usually doesn't work (unless that person has an extremely distinct voice-color) because I tend to see the colors of the words. It works better if the person is singing and I can't understand the words of the song. Espesially opera. That's easiest. I think my voice is blueish. It's a lot of different shades, but when I'm singing well it gets touches of turquoise. Mostly it is a mix of denim, bondi blue, and blue grey, with cornflower in there.
Your name is deep navy, with royal blue swirls and light pink and violet streaks!

Ooh! This is cool!
1. I have a twin brother who looks absolutely nothing like me and is like a head shorter than me. I am 24 minutes older than him.
2. I have huge problems with distraction and usually end up getting my homework done really late. If I'm really stressed about somehting I can't think of anything else but I also can't seemed to get started with whatever I'm stressed about so I usually get nothing done.
3. I have four african dwarf frogs that live in a tank in my room named BB (named by my sister, it stand for Bouncing Bean, I have no idea what that meands) Chip, (named by my brother,) Boberick, and Giselda. Boberick and Gisleda were named by my other (younger) brother and I after these two random people from a paper towel ad that I felt needed to have names.
4. My friends and I are plotting to take over the world.
5. I sometimes laugh at people in my head at school for how little they know about me. They think I am a normal, quiet person. Ha!
6. I get really excited about math sometimes. I find it so much fun! What we're doing in school right now is really complicated, but cool.
7. I've lived in two countries other than America - Uganda, and Bolivia. In total they took up about 6 and a half years of my life. I moved back to america when I was ten and a half.
8. Yesterday I tried out for a regional orchestra concert thing on my cello with about 50 towns near me. 29 people tried out, about eight will get in. I will find out within the next few days and I was really stressed.
9. I am pretty much the opposite of your stereotypical quiet person. I am quiet, but I love sports, rollercoasters, broadway, singing loudly, and anything crazy and random.
10. I used to eat pizza crust-first.
