Yay! Great idea Joss! You're so creative. 

Favorite color?

Purple. Because it is rich and royal and light purple and grey and whiteish together are so mysterious and wonderful. Decepmyth is like my dream land: everything is purple and white and grey. 

Favorite Animal?

I love animals! Although I have to say that I LOVE goats. They are affectionate and emotional and super sweet. I have one. She's sleeping on my back porch right now.  

What do you want to be when you grow up?

You mean aside from homeschool mom of 8 kids (yes, I'm serious)? I want to be America's next Mary Oliver, a librarian, and a drama teacher.  

Tell us about your best friend :)

I have so many besties that I don't want to pick...but there is one absolutely inseperable friendship in my life, and you happen to know my bestie! I have known Autumn Leaves since I was two. She is funny, smart, creative, and never-ceasingly amazing. Her taste in the arts is excellent! I get music and book and you-name-it reccomendations from her. Even though we have lived in seperate states for two years now, we still manage to stay very close. 

Hobbies?

Crocheting, yoga (is that even a hobbie?), playing piano, doing stuffs at the local theater, watching any video that has to do with Hamilton, frolicking, etc. 

Favorite season?

Summer. Summer is my free season; it's warm and (almost) carefree. I don't have to worry about shoes or looking presentable for homeschool school; I can just frolick all over the farm.  

Who's in your family?

My amazing parents, my four competitive, goofy, tough brothers, and my sweetly naughty sister. Along with 11 chickens, one goat, two rabbits, and 1 lizard.  

Top three favorite songs?

It will change tomorrow, but right now I like:

1. Satisfied 

2. Dear Theodocia

3. Long Live (the absolute me song by For King and Country) 

What's something about you that people don't expect?

My age. A lot of times people are surprised at how old I am. Perhaps because I like to do my hair in high pigtails or a side ponytail and I dress in pretty pastel things and skip a lot. Although I am like really tall even for my age, I still get mistaken for 12 or 13. And that is fine by me. 

I'll do the others later.

Of course! There are some CBers I feel I know pretty well but some others I'd like to know better! This seems a great idea. :)

Favorite color?

Red. Rich red, I've always loved it. Or cerulean blue.

Favorite animal?

Leopard, as you might be able to glean from my name. It's also the personal animal I have chosen in an inside joke my group of friends and I have--the other animals are fox, panda, unicorn, rabbit, and peacock.

What do you want to be when you grow up? 

I've always fancied the idea of being an animator or cartoonist, so that's my dream job I suppose. But I also like space and science, and I would also like the idea of writing scientific articles.

Tell us about your best friend. :)

I won't give her name (for obvious reasons) but she's been my friend since about 5th grade. She really likes acting and singing, and she plans to be a Brodway actor when she grows up. She's also a good artist, too, especially at drawing humans. She's really fun to be around and easy to talk to. ;)

Hobbies?

Drawing, singing, reading (Warriors or TABINOF), snacking-not one of my better hobbies- watching YouTube videos, playing with my dog.

Favorite season?

Spring, definitely. I was born in April and I love the warmth, but not burning heat of summer. It's so fresh and cool, too.

Who's in your family?

My mom, dad, sister, me, and my dog. I only have a few living grandparents and cousins, unfortunately.  

Top three favorite songs:

1.) "What'd I Miss" from Hamilton

2.) "Bad Connection" by Yaz

3.) "Pilate's Dream" from Jesus Christ Superstar

What's something about you that people don't expect?

I don't think that many people who meet me know how much I talk, because I don't give off a good impression, really... I'm quiet and shy around strangers and come off as an awkward bookworm. With my friends, though, I can talk on and on and on--etc.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

I'm a good listener, and I'm always willing to help someone out and listen as they talk about their problems. I also love learning and I'm pretty good at writing and science. However, I'm incredibly awkward around people I don't know. A conundrum about me is that I won't talk to someone I don't closely know, but if I don't talk to anyone I can't get to know them! See the problem? I honestly have no idea how I've made friends so far. There's also a lot of foods I can't and won't eat. Peanuts, nuts, chocolate, and eggs, just to name a few. 

What Myers Briggs Personality test type are you?

I know this! I got INFP, which I think describes me scarily accurately.

Sky or ocean?

Umm... both are big and make me existential and scared... but I do appreciate the sky and atmosphere for helping us breathe. Plus, sky-blue is a beautiful color. So, sky.

Day or night?

Day! I find it so annoying us humans have to sleep. Seriously, 9 hours wasted doing nothing!

The last thing that gave you chills...

I went out for a few minutes stargazing with my cousin in Minnesota, and as I looked up at the stars I realized just how far away they were... and how big they are in real life and blanketed on such a thick darkness as space... I went inside again quickly.

Favorite books, movies, TV series?

Books! Harry Potter, Warriors, Dragonrider (love Twigleg!), Wings of Fire, Animal Farm, and tons others.

Movies! Zootopia, Moana, Star Trek (just Beyond and 2009, though), Toy Story 1 & 2, to name a few.

Shows! Gravity Falls, Star Trek (next gen), Steven Universe, GTLive (it counts as a show! IT DOES!), Sherlock, and many more.

I loved answering these questions and I hope they helped some people know me a little bit better!

Joss I was wondering where you went.

Favorite color: Purple. Or more specifically, the hue where it's purple with blue. They say it's called indigo but I'm talking more purple and brighter. 

Favorite animal: *throws this question out the window*

What do you want to be: I have no idea yet. Probably writer.

Best friend: Well, all of my friends are younger and seem to have heavy internet restrictions so technically I have only one friend. I've known her since we were four, I think. She's smart, left-handed, but more . . . uh how do I say this . . . normal type? She goes to public school and around those type of kids so yeaaaahhhh. Considering online friends, I couldn't choose. I honestly haven't spoken that deeply with them, we usually just goof off on random conversations and small talk and complain how old we're getting. Except two. First on this other chatroom I met like this silly person who's a major canon shipper and is random but a writer (I'm way more serious than her but we had a good time talking). She reminds me of someone, but I can't put my finger on it. And then there's this one kid that somehow unknowingly help me reveal who I really am? Like after doing some indirect things it kinda brought out these traits I didn't expect? I'm pretty sure none of them feel the same way but that's fine. As long as we're friends, that's all that matters.

Hobbies: Eh. Reading. Graphic-designing. Writing. Dreaming about having better hobbies, computer, shopping cart gymnastics.

Favorite season: Winter. Mysteriously pretty. 

Family: Mom and dad.

Favorite songs: Out you go. *tosses question out the window as well* 

What's something about people you don't expect? Anything that's the opposite of their main personality.

Strengths and weaknesses: Rebellious, random, show-offish, kind of quick learner? Sneaky, and ocassionally too nice or lazy. You can decide which are strengths and weaknesses.

Myers Briggs: INFP and ISFP. Also ENFJ when in survivalist mode (weird quiz I took)

Sky or ocean? Whyyyy. Ocean then.

Day or night? Day please, please, please. 

The last thing that gave you chills: I wasn't exactly scared but with some friends we got onto the topic of FNAF and out of curiosity I looked up the wikipedia for all five games and a video of someone playing the Sister Location. The jumpscare doesn't frighten me but the suspense and nerve-racking stuff would just kill me. Not buying it.

Favorite books, movies, TV? Lots. Stuff by Kate DiCamillio except for the dramatic, emotional ones. Action movies like Avengers, newer Disney ones. Once Upon a Time for TV series, and even though it's kind of fast paced, the Librarians is good as well. 

submitted by Novelist, The Secret Forest
(November 28, 2016 - 4:22 am)

Favorite Color? A kind of coral color that's a cross between pink and red.

Favorite Animal? Cats. I love my three cats. Cats are both clever and stupid, and will run around the house wildly than sit and lick their paws acting as if nothing has happened. The big cats will run terrified of the new dog, while the tiny cat teaches the dog not to mess with her. 

What do you want to be when you grow up? I have no idea. I'm interested in architecture and engineering, but I'm not seriously considering anything. I will eventually probably settle down and become a mom though. 

Tell us about your best friend: I have a lot of best friends, but one I'll tell you about the one I've known the longest. I'm going to use the pseudonym Emily for her. Emily loves to write, and carries around three notebooks with her at all times. In them she has poems, drawings, drafts for stories she's going to write, character concepts, and who knows what else. She writes amazing poems, that never fail to astound me. To people who don't know her, she's very quiet, but that isn't really because she's shy. Rather, she doesn't really enjoy talking to people she doesn't know well. She's got a kind of dark sense of humor, and is very funny. She doesn't care about her appearence, and has extremely thick dark brown hair that her mom always has to braid. She is very observant and loves to people watch.

Hobbies? I play piano and trumpet.

Favorite Season? Favorite season weather wise, would have to be fall. When the air is crisp and cool, and sky is bright blue, and the leaves are turning. Favorite season holiday wise though is definitely Christmas. My family makes a huge deal out of Christmas.

Who's in your family? My mom and dad, my three older brothers. My oldest brother is married with three little girls, and my second oldest brother is married with one little girl. My two sisters, my oldest sister is married with one little girl, and my second oldest sister is married.  

Top three favorite songs: A Hamilton song. I like Guns and ships, Dear Theodosia, and all of them, so don't make me pick.

I'm not your Stepping Stone, by the Monkees, an old 60s band.

What's the Rumpus, by Gaelic Storm, a Celtic rock band

What something about you that people don't expect? My crazyness. This may be hard to believe, but I'm a kind of mature person when you first meet me. I keep that maturity, but I'm also very crazy, and I think it catches people off guard.

What are your strengths and weaknesses? I procrastinate a lot, and have trouble getting things done. I'm kind of emotionally volatile right now (Yay, hormones!), and sometimes lash out. I have kind of low self esteem. I'm good at making friends, and don't stay angry for long.

What Myers Briggs personality type are you? According to a random online test, ENFJ, the Mentor.

Sky or Ocean? Sky, definitely.

Day or Night? Day?

The last thing that gave you chills? We just watched the first two episodes of Doctor Who that have the Silence in them, a creature that you forget as soon as you stop looking at it.

Favorite Books, Movies, TV Series? For books, I like Harry Potter, Howl's Moving Castle, and LotR. For movies, I like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Fantastic Beasts and where to find them, and a lot of Pixar films. For TV, I like Doctor Who, Stargate: Universe, Star Trek: Next Gen, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and original Trek, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Favorite color? It's a blue that I can't really describe, but it's close to the Orly's Blue Collar nail polish. Just a little lighter. 

Favorite animal? Ooh, how can you make me choose just one? I love all baby animals, but kittens, hedgehogs, and white seals are close to the top of my list. 

What do you want to be when you grow up? My dream is to be on Broadway some day, but also being an illustrator or a director for a local theater would be cool.

Tell us about your best friend :) I can't choose one, but there are two friends who I am the most close to. I got to know one from theater in the Boxcar Children (she was the Stage Manager). We got to know each other really well, joking and laughhing. She loves singing, acting, and reading. My other friend I've known for. . . four years, maybe? But we've gotten to know each other a lot better during the past two years, especially when we were both gulls in The Little Mermaid. She is so spunky, laughing and talkative. I could not imagine life without either of them.

Hobbies? Reading, drawing, acting, playing with my hair, doing random DIYs, looking on Pinterest, etc.

Favorite season? Fall. Or winter. I can never choose, but my birthday is in Decmber, so maybe winter?

Who's in your family? I live with my mom, my dad, my older sister True (who some onf you may know), and my younger sister. We also have seven chickens: Rosie, Ella, Apple, Ginny, Luna, Hermione, and Sylvia.

Top three favorite songs? Yeesh. How can I choose? 
Right now I like
1. Me, Who am I? from Rodger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella
2. Believe from Finding Neverland 
3. Fireworks from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoneix. 

What's something about you that people don't expect? Talking a lot, giving my opinion, and being excited. I guess I've always been in the corner- quiet, giving good advice, trying not to get in trouble. WHen I act excited or try to an extrovert around the people who haven't seen the real me, they're like "Butterfly, calm down." But I'm not doing anything that's a big deal.

What are your strengths and weaknesses? Strengths? I'm good at listening, but I'm awful at talking people one on one. I cannot look people in the eye without feeling awkward. I feel super self conscious. I'm also good at art, though.

What Myers Briggs personality type are you? I didn't know what this was ten minutes ago. According to the test I took, I'm INFP-T "Meditator Personaltity."

Sky or ocean? Sky.

Day or night? Day.

The last thing that gave you chills (Not because of the cold XD) I almost fell off a stepladder when hanging up a Christmas ornament yesterday evening.

Favorite books, movies, and TV series? 
The book series I'm reading right now is Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. I love The Sister's Grimm books by Michael Buckley as well. 

My favorite movie? I can't choose, and I'm not sure if that's because I don't watch a lot or if I watch too much. XD

TV series? I don't watch TV now, but I enjoy watching The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie on DVD.

Hey, I'm an INFP as well--just without the T, though. They say INFP are *checks* writers, creative, daydreaming, sensitive, and good listeners. Does that sound like you? I think that's a lot like me!

Favorite Color?: I love dark blues, but I also like purples of all hues. Red is a close second.

Favorite Animal?: Generally an absolutely impossible question. I like rabbits, owls, and foxes, though, and have a fascination with Komodo Dragons. I also believe my Patronus/Animagus/Daemon would take the form of a cat.

What do you want to be when you grow up?: An author, of course! I'd also enjoy being an editor, though.

Tell us about your best friend: My best friend in the whole word I've known longer than my younger brother; I probably met her only a few days/weeks after she was born. She's very artsy and peppy and loves nature. She has two kittens and loves a lot of the same things I do-- Doctor Who and Harry Potter, for instance. I love her with all my heart <3

Hobbies: Piano playing, reading, writing, going on the computer (duh!), and watching addictive television shows.

Favorite season?: Probably autumn. I like it because it's not too cold and it's not too warm and it's always so beautiful when the leaves change color. Who cares if everything dies, it's lovely, and the air's always so crisp and nice.

Who's in your family?: My very annoying fifth-grade brother, my parents-- both medievalists and English professors-- and, of course, my dog.

Myers Briggs personality type?: Well, I've taken four tests, and I'm definitely introverted, and definitely a thinker. Twice I got ISTJ, but the second time it was 50% for the S and the J. I've also gotten INTP and I got ISFP once, but I didn't identify with it much. So I really don't know. *shrugs*

Sky or ocean?: Doesn't matter, I get sick in both.

Day or night?: Night for sure. It's so mysterious and peaceful. Staying up late on weekends is one of my favorite things.

Favorite books, movies, and TV series?: Harry Potter, The Book Thief, PJO, and The Hunger Games for books; Anastasia and The Princess Bride (the book was good too) for movies; and Doctor Who, Sherlock, Skin Wars, and Star Trek (both generations!) for TV shows. (one of these things is not like the other.)
