Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Introduce Yoursel

Introduce Yourself!

Hello, people! I want to know: Who are you? Likes, dislikes, family, favorites, pets, hobbies, personality, etc.

I’ll start: I am Wolfy, and I identify as she/her. I love animals, and my favorite is the wolf. I am new to the CB, but I like it already. My favorite color is indigo, and my favorite subject is math. I have a dog and a cat, and a younger sister. I want to live in Canada and be a teacher when I grow up. I like discussing politics (tho prob not in the CB), world problems and how to solve them, and economics. I am Jewish and part German, unknown Eastern European, Puerto Rican, Martiniquan (did I spell that right?), French, and Senegalese. I have curly brown armpit-length hair, and chocolate eyes. I like Hamilton A LOT. My favorite books include Little Women, The Hunger Games, and the Little House books. I fell in love with Cricket before I even opened my first issue. I enjoy writing, but I have started a million stories and finished 0. I like to bike, play outside and inside, and I want to go to an adventure playground. I live on Long Island. I think school is fun, and I go full remote. I know 60 digits of pi. My favorite food is lobster. I have been to the same camp for 5 weeks total, since 2017. If I go this year, that number will become 8. I go to Maine every summer to see my grandma. That’s all about me, now I want to hear about YOU!

P.S. What do you and I have in common?

*”you” refers to whoever sees this (my rational voice says, “Duh!”, but I’m adding this anyway)

OH MY GOSH, YOU'VE READ THE SECRET SERIES??? I love those books! If I had to choose "comfort" books it would be those. I'm featuring them in my Ski Lodge! :P

I totally agree!!! I just finished the Secret Series a month or two ago-it was one of those books/series that I am sad to finish. I always wish they would go on longer, though I guess a good story has to end somewhere.

Hey, I'm The Sage Wolf, also known as Sage! I joined in December. My pronouns are she/her, and I'm in 6th grade. I live in Pennsylvania. I like to draw, read, and write (pretty much what everyone on the CB likes). I'm half Chinese, half Irish/Polish/English/whatever.

My favorite color is sage, obviously, and my favorite animal is also a wolf, also obviously. Some other things I have in common with Wolfy—spoiler, it's a lot: I have a younger sister, I like discussing politics, I love Hamiton, I've started a lot of stories but have never finished all but one (I think) of them, I do remote school, and some of my favorite books are Little Women and The Hunger Games! Like Lupine, my favorite food is sushi, and I've also been to Hawaii (Maui, though).

My favorite musicians/bands are Fun, Nate Ruess, Band of Horses, Weezer, Bleachers, Kina Grannis, and Taylor Swift. I just started learning guitar. I love music... it's too bad I'm horrible at singing, playing instruments, and songwriting. I've tried.

I want to either be a storyboard artist/animator for Disney or a park ranger (or something along the lines of that, something I could do with a wildlife ecology major). I'd love to go to college in Boulder, Colorado! My favorite outdoor activities are sailing and birdwatching. One of my dreams that's probably not going to happen is becoming a falconer, which means you hunt with birds. Kestrels are my favorite bird. They're so common, yet I've never seen one clearly! Anyway, I should leave room on this page for other people. *posts*

Those jobs sound really fun!! Being a park ranger would be so nice, you could just hang out in national parks all day...

Hi! I never made an intro thread, so this'll be fun. My name's Fallen Leaf (but you can call me Fallen), and my pronouns are she/her. I love animals too, and my favorite animal is a lizard, (which is funny because CBers often call other CBers lizards) closely followed by a wolf. My favorite colors are coral green and leaf green (idk if that's a color but the color of leaves), and my favorite subject is writing. I have two dogs (Bella and Bo, Bella looks like a corgi-golden retriever-spaniel mix, and Bo's a really tiny black dog with tan on his neck and eyebrows, and his ears stick out to the side) one cat (Gracie, she's gray) one lizard (Buckbeak, he's a bearded dragon) , and two older brothers. I want to live somewhere cold (maybe Canada or Colorado) and be an author. I'm Irish, Scottish, and Italian. I have medium-length blondish brown hair and greenish eyes. I like Hamilton, and my favorite books are Septimus Heap, Ranger's Apprentice, and The Unwanteds. I love the Cricket magazine! I love writing, and I'm currently writing two fantasy books, both which are unfinished and going to be a series. One is The Anilands Chronicles, where animals (like a foxote, cloakaliz, lizaosaur, and curiobird) live on a planet called Anilands and they have to save it from a group of trigliders called the Destroyers. The other one is The Adventures of Lizardo the Great, where animals are in a medieval setting where the king, Alastair resigns and here are threee trials to determine the new king. Lizardo is the Royal wizard who is the loyal advisor of the king. I like to bike, read, write, go on the CB, and FaceTime my friends. I think school is fun because I have an AWESOME friend in my class and a really nice teacher. I go face to face, but about half of my class is virtual. I know 26 digits of Pi. My favorite food is pasta. I go to the beach every summer with my mom's side of the family. I LOOOOOVVVVVEEE the Legend of Zelda games! I've played the original, A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword, and I'm currently working on Breath of the Wild with my brother. I have four AEs, JJ, Jenna, River, and ^Septimus^ And a CAPTCHA named Deku (from the legend of Zelda). :D nice to meet you, Wolfy! This was really fun to make! Sorry admins for the long post! I'm using too many exclamation points! Who cares! :D!

I'm AuburnFairy but you can call me Fairy. I am Wolfy's younger sister and this is my first post. I like trying to catch Italian Wall Lizards. I am a BIG fan of Hamilton, and of Avatar: The Last Airbender series. I recently read The Night Fairy. I love horses, and other animals as well. I go to Summer Camp. This year I am going for two weeks, that's 3 weeks in total. My favorite food is my grandma's lasagna, and my prefered pronons are she and her. I love science, art, and cooking. I like to write stories, and sometimes try to write plays. I have a 5 almost 6 year old potcake dog named Coco, and a 3 almost 4 year old cat named Lucky. I really like snakes, and my favorite breed of dog is an Alaskan Shepheard. My favorite breed of cat is a maine coon. My birthstone is an opal, and my favorite flower is a water lily. I was once on the news in 2016. I enjoy drawing fairies. I believe in mermaids, fairies, and dragons. Sometimes I fantesize about being a shape shifter. When I was 2, I went to the Bronx Zoo, put my hand on the tiger's cage's glass, and a tiger cub put its paw where my hand was. That's all about me.

Oh my gosh! You are all such interesting people, and it's nice to "meet" you. I had no idea people would like this thread so much. *blushes* (Also, I forgot to mention, I have a couple of AEs in progress. Jackie, Carla, Sam, unnamed studious part of me, and ~unnamed voice inside my head~.

Hi, I'm Leo. I use she/they and I'm 14 years old. I've been on and off the CB for a few years before I decided to actually try to stick around about a month ago. I live in New England. I enjoy reading and my favorite genre is fantasy. I also like writing and am working on a book right now. I also like writing poetry but I don't really do it much. I also like to draw and draw traditional and digital art. I like longboarding but I'm not very good at it. I also like to go on walks in the woods. I really love cartoons and some of my favorite TV shows are Avatar:The Last Airbender, Infinity Train, She Ra & The Princesses of Power, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeast and Julie and the Phantoms (this isn't a cartoon but I absolutely adore it). I have family movie night every Saturday and some of my favorite are Studio Ghibli films! I really like Sprited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, and Princess Monoke. I love listening to music and some of my favorite artists are Mitski, Phoebe Bridgers, Rina Sawayama, and Japanese Breakfast. When I grow up, I want to be an published author, also a musican, possibly an actor, and I'd also like to go into politics and maybe even run for president someday. I have a sweet old calico cat named Cooper. I'm in 9th grade and currently doing remote school but I really want to go back next year. My favorite subject this year is English because I like my teacher and the assignments and projects that we are doing are really fun.

OMG I LOVE JULIE AND THE PHANTOMS!!! I thought I was the only person on the CB who liked it!

Hello! I'm Honeybee. I use she/her pronouns. I am 12 years old and I joined the CB in late October 2020. Wow, it's actually been a while! It feels so long ago, but also so recently. That's how a lot of quarantine stuff feels :/ but yeah. I love to read, and I read super fast. I also like to write. I'm writing a lot of stories right now. I have only finished one novel, and it's almost one hundred word document pages. I have one in progress that's more, though. I love to draw, too! Recently I've been doing a lot of digital fanart (see the art posting thread for more) (did I just self-advertise?). I have a younger brother. He's annoying. I have one cat named Brian, which apparently is a weird name for a cat XD we mostly call him "Beans" for some reason. If you want to talk to me about something, try animated children's shows. Avatar: the Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, She-ra and the Princesses of Power, The Owl House, Gravity Falls, and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. If you have not watched any of those shows and do not want me rambling spoilers about them to you, don't talk to me. Just kidding! Besides that, I also like video games. I will talk to you for a very long time about Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. My brother and I have been playing it since...January? February? Who knows. On the subject of books: I have difficulties choosing favorites, but I'll ramble off a bunch of series's (what's the plural of series...?) and titles: The Percy Jackson books (including HoO + ToA), the Magnus Chase series, the Aru Shah series, the Lunar Chronicles, You Should See Me In A Crown, The Mighty Heart of Sunny St James, Watch Us Rise, and about a bajillion more that I can't think of at the moment. I am vegetarian. I live in the Pacific Northwest, which is nice and all I guess (XD) I've never been outside of the USA! We're going to after quarantine, though. 

i might think of more to add later!

Hi everyone! My name is Silver Crystal, also known as Silver, pronouns she/her and I've been on the CB for about four/five months! My name is the translation of on of my middle names into English, and I thought it was pretty so I decided to go by it on here :) My favorite book series are Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings (and other works by Tolkien), Magnus Chase, Hunger Games, Keeper of the Lost Cities, the Lunar Chronicles, and many others! I also love to write, though I'm lacking in any actual dedication to get anything down on paper most of the time. I spend a lot of time listening to musicals, which include Hamilton, In the Heights, Wicked, Hadestown, Beetlejuice: the Musical, The Lightning Thief: the Musical, and a few others! 

My favorite hobbies are reading (a lot), occasionally writing (sometimes short stories, sometimes poetry), going on walks, riding my bike, the CB (obvs), hanging with my dog named Sam, and calling/distantly hanging out with my friends. I also hate math with a burning passion (just had to put that in there lol). I'm a weird Korean/Italian/Irish combo, which leaves me looking mostly Asian but also not, which is confusing to some people.

My CB appearance (which isn't too far from my actual appearance) is long dark brown hair, Asian features, brown eyes, luminescent silver-white shirt, bleached jeans and black and white vans. I have two AEs, (Jewel, she/her and Topaz, they/them), and one CAPTCHA, Peridot, aka ^Perry^!

Thanks for listening to my rambling :P See you all around!!

Okay, I've typed this out  m u l t i p l e  times and then accidentally reloaded and lost it  a l l  ahhhhh-

But here we go again :)

I'm Luminescence, Lumi for short! I'm 12 years old (I'll be 13 in October this year) and use the pronouns she/her. I share a name with my favorite Peanuts character, although I'm not nearly as mean as she is. Horses and guinea pigs are my favorite animals, and my favorite color is cobalt blue. I'm half Taiwanese and half Ukrainian/other European. I was born in and have lived in Los Angeles for my entire life, which makes it pretty much impossible for me to be in under 40 degree (fahrenheit) weather without being utterly miserable. I love using emoticons and I am decidedly against using "lol"s. I read too much fanfiction and I ship too many non-canon ships heh. I'm an author, a poet, and an artist, although I wouldn't consider myself particularly good at any of those things. I love listening to music and reading. I have brown hair and eyes and have been a proud member of the CB since April 27, 2020. I'm an extremely wishy-washy indecisive insecure girl who never can tell when to stop talking and is not capable of being concise :) Sarcasm, exaggeration, and I do not get along so well. I have one younger sibling, a nine year old brother, and constantly embarrass myself by doing probably not-embarrassing things. I have too many favorite authors, books, songs and musical artists too count, and um... yeah? I'm probably forgetting something but I'm posting this before it accidentally gets deleted (again ugh XD) because I don't want to retype this :)

Hi everyone <33 It's me! I'm, uh, back from the land of Self-Doubt & Depression. So, yay? I guess? 

In May 2020, I joined as HeroesOfOlympus. I was awkward and loud and weird. As I evolved during quarantine, I dropped those qualities (although I'm still very awkward lol). And HeroesOfOlympus didnt feel like me anymore. So I thought for a while and then posted a thread saying "Hi i'm going by dreamiing now you can call me dreamii bye" or something like that. I didn't say that, by shedding HeroesOfOlympus, I had become a better person, almost. I was more mature and my intrests, personality, and mindset had changed. I never introduced 'dreamiing' and I guess that's what I'm trying to say- Here's my 'introduction thread' for d r e a m i i n g *cue sparkles and glitter*

 

Hi children :D

I'm dreamiing! dreamii for short, because nicknames make everything better. I joined the CB in May 2020 under the name HeroesOfOlympus. I love reading, writing, and drawing (although I'm not the best at it [drawing] and very self-concious about sharing my work ,:D) Anyways, I use she/her pronouns (Although I don't really care how you see me, feel free to imagine me as a 2-year-old male tortoise if that pleases you) and currently identify as queer, because I'm stuck in the questioning dump atm. I'm also stuck in the my-life-sucks-but-I-can't-do-anything-about-it dump, so gET ReADy fOR SoME AnGSt! 
I have three AEs, Faith, Firefly, and Starlight. Starlight was one of my original AEs, from the HeroesOfOlympus Era (See a history of dreamiing to learn more!) along with Pine and Felix, who were too developed for me to keep them around. I create characters constantly and love roleplaying, although my commitment sucks, so keep in mind that I'll probably drop out of every roleplay during the first week ;D
I'd LOVE to be an author when I'm older, and I want to move to either an abandoned castle (up on a mountain overlooking the sea, if you must know my specifics) or a quaint cottagecore house in a flower-filled meadow. Or a cottage on a beach. Or a house in the middle of a lake. Or... you know what, I'm just going to stop. I'd love to live anywhere pretty, to be honest.
I have one adorable puppy (Blue the golden retreiver) who is the cutest thing in the world and I absoloutely aDOrE her. I spend most of my time doodling on my math homework, daydreaming, and failing to pay attention. Oh, and playing Minecraft, obsessing over Nico di Angelo, or randomly bursting into a made-up scene from a made-up play that normally involve an old British man decapitating chickens.
Because y e s.

I think that's it, to be honest. I have no idea what to say now and I'm staring at the huge block of text wondering what I missed.
*thinks*
Okay I give up I'm just going to post this without spellchecking and then go draw a large duck instead of making tesselations for math class.

Ta-ta! 

*skips away*  

*skips hurridly back*

My CAPTCHA (who doesnt exist) says rayoc. Rayoc the Terrible Beast or an OC named Ray? Make up your mind, CAPTCHA. 

*starts skipping away again but stops because she got a cramp*

No... No need to stare, I'm... I'm per...perfectly fine!

*takes a deep breath and skips away, wincing and muttering 'ow' every five seconds*

Hi! I'm Peppermint (aka Pepper), and I joined the CB in late November of 2020! I'm currently 13 years old, and I use she/her pronouns. Oh, and I'm in eighth grade! Some of my favorite books are all of the Rick Riordan books, Dash by Kirby Larson, The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise by Dan Gemeinhart, The Science of Breakable Things by Tae Keller, Finding Serendipity by Angelica Banks, and *thinks of a dozen more books* okay, I'll stop there XD Either than reading, I also enjoy writing, dancing, gardening, hiking, and crafting! I love spending time in nature, and consider myself an environmentalist. I have three chickens, who are very sweet. I spend a lot of time doing math, since I made the questionable decision of taking a freshman math course in my free time this year, and I'm working on a novel right now, which is super fun! Also, I have an older brother, who's kind of annoying. I have brown hair and brown eyes, but my eyes have some green mixed in if you see them in the sunlight. :) I love listening to music (I have the Hamilton soundtrack on right now!), and I'm a pescatarian. I hope to be either an archaeologist, botanist, or marine biologist when I'm older (and I'll be an author as a side job). I might want to live in Sweden, too. Alright, I think that's it. I hope that jumble of information was helpful! :D
