Introduction to me!

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Introduction to me!

Introduction to me!

I feel like I should do a formal introduction just so that you guys can like meet me? Anyway here we go:

Hi! I am Skip! I am 15 years old, my pronouns are she/her, and my birthday was a couple weeks ago. I LOVE Olivia rodrigo, I am considered a theater kid, a nerd, and a sporty kid. I embrace all of those titles. I am a freshman in high school and as far as I'm aware, none of you live near me? I have been a part of a couple productions at my new school (I just switched last year) and I also like to write!

I mean obviously, why else would I be here? 

I can't really draw... I have tried. And failed. It's fine though, I like writing, acting, and singing better.

Oh right! I like singing too! I'm competing in a competition that happens over summer with some kids from my school! I don't think that I'll win but I'm sure it will be fun! 

I'm learning to play the guitar and ukulele and I have learned a couple songs and I can (kind of) play and sing together! 

I really want to be a part of a band. Like really badly. It's a dream of mine but none of my friends have time. It's not like I do too. But it would be amazing to live that dream. 

I also have a couple questions if you guys could clear up some suff for me that would be great.

1. So an AE is a part of you? Or like a personality trait of you but personified? 

2. Captchas? um what? 

3. For the above characters, do you just kinda create them? 

But anyway I'm really happy to be here! 

 

Welcome, Skip. Yes, an AE is created to show a personality that
differs from your usual Chatterbox persona. Captcha is the code you are
asked to type before submitting a comment. Some people treat them as
characters. Someone else will probably answer in more detail.

Hi Skip! I'm the Sage Wolf, also known as Sage Wolf, Sage, or TSW, and my pronouns are she/her. Welcome to the Chatterbox!

I like drawing, writing, and reading, and it's so cool that you like actingI've always had a weird fantasy that someday I would become a famous actor or musician. I'm also learning guitar, and I sometimes play my dad's ukulele!

The answers to some of your questions:

1. Like the admin said, you can take a part of your personality and personify it, and that's an AE! I have two, Eir...
Hi hi hi! I'm Eir!
...and Oak.
Hey.

2. And yes, CAPTCHAs are the impossible little codes at the bottom. They usually take the form of animals who talk in bursts of five letters, like <thiss>. I don't have an official one yet, but I'm hoping to introduce her soon!

3. Yep, they're like original characters you make up and interact with.

And here's the link to the ultimate guide, which will answer any other questions you might have. http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/443573 (admins, could you link that for me?) Nice to meet you!

Hi there, Skip! Welcome to the Chatterbox! I'm pangolin, she/they pronouns. 

An AE, which stands for Alter Ego, is basically, as you said, a personality trait personified.

Like me! I'm Ginger, the part of pangolin that is brave and not afraid to talk to new CBers, unlike SOME AEs I know.

He~y!~

Right, so Ginger would represent my brave, extroverted side. 

A CAPTCHA is that little spam box that checks if you're human. Some CBers name theirs and give it a personality. I have- 

<Virid! Hhiii, Skipp! Wlcme tothe Chttr boxxx!> 

Yep. So Virid speaks only in 5-letter words, as most CAPTCHAs do. 

And for your final question, yes, you can just create them. Although, I do recomend taking time to develop them and make them believable, since AEs that seem human are more fun to write about. 

If you have any more questions, you can check the Ultimate Guide! *crosses fingers and hopes this links* http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/443573 

See/read/type? you around, Skip!

Thank you pangolion! And hello to Ginger and Virid! I shall take some time to develop parts of my identity I guess!

Nice to meet you, Skip! I like writing and singing, too! I'm also not very good at drawing... it's cool that you compete in singing!

Also, yes, an AE is like a character that you have. It stands for Alter Ego (I think?!) and they can speak in different things (Sorry for bad explanation!)

So, like, this is my AE Maisie.

Hi, I'm Maisie and I speak in bold. I'm kind of shy. Which my CBer is actually only now realizing is kinda weird, because being bold and being shy are opposites...

And my AE Finnigan

{Hi, I'm Finnigan. I'm very funny and like to make lots of silly jokes. Knock knock! ... *assumes that you said who's there* Noah *assumes you said Noah who* Noah good place to eat around here? Hahaha!}

And my AE Sunshine

¡I'm sunshine! I like to be kind to people and spread positivity. Don't forget to smile!

Also, Captchas are the codes that you enter, but they can also be like your pets. They have to speak in five-letter-words.

This is my captcha, Earth.

<Hiiii mmyyy namee iisss Earth>

And yes, you just kinda create them!

Hope you have fun on Chatterbox,

Clementine

Hi Skip! I'm Princess Juniper but if you want you can call me Juni. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Olivia Rodrigo and her new album came out today. I do wish she would write more happy songs though... Anyway feel free to ask any questions! I have three AE's. Quinne Marie, Jwyn (named after former CBer jwyn) and Missie. They will now introduce themselves. HELLO! Ladies and Gentlemen and Nonbinaries welcome to our show of shows! Uh Jwyn? Yeah? You're just introducing yourself to Skip. Oh. Okay. WELL WELCOME JWYN TO OUR WONDERFUL CHATTERBOX! I'M JWYN, PJ'S EXTROVERTED, THEATRE SIDE! I'm Missie. I'm Princess Juniper's soft, shy, self doubting side. Please don't judge me. I don't like peer pressure. I'm Quinne Marie. I basically represent bossiness and hotheadedness. Even though I do have a bit of a sweet side. Sort of.

Welcome to the CB Skip! It's great to meet you and I can't wait to see you around! I'm Neverseen (not my real name, I just go by it in the Chatterbox), my pronouns are she/her, and I love writing too! It's so cool how you can play an instrument and sing at the same time! I hope I can get there eventually too. I play the piano and the drumset, and I can't wait to start learning some other percussion instruments when I get to go back to in-person music lessons. Oh, and for your questions, I'll do my best to answer them. And AE is kind of like an Alternate Ego and represents one part of your personality, most of the time a side you don't show of yourself. Mine is - 

Glimmer! And I talk in bolds! Its a pleasure to meet you Skip! Here is a virtual pie! *hands virtual pie*.

Uh, Glimmer, what is Skip going to do with a virtaul pie?

Virtaully eat it! 

Okay...Well Glimmer is my AE, and you can tell she is communicating when there are bolds. AEs usually talk in bolds, italics, bolds AND italics, or some other way that distinguises that they are talking and not you.  Next, Captchas are the 5 letters you have to type to submit a post. A lot of the CBers like to make character out of them, because they often seem like they are talking to us. I haven't names mine yet, but they usually talk like this: <Hello>. They only speak 5 letters at a time though since they are only 5 letters long in the code to submit. And yes! You just create them when you want to! You don't have to have an AE or Capatcha if you perfer, but really, they are just creatures from your imagination. 

Hmp. A figment of imagination! I am more than just a fig! 

Glim, a fig and a figment are different things.

Oh.

So, welcome to the CB Skip! I hope you enjoy it here! 

Ye! Can't wait to see you around!

It's so lovely to meet you! By any chance did you get the inspiration for your name from Kotlc? I love that series so much!!

Thank you Glimmer for the virtual pie! *Virtually eats pie*

(May 23, 2021 - 1:41 pm)

Yes! I LOVE KotLC! Book four was one of my favorites, and already called myself Neverseen in online games with my IRL friends, so I thought it would be perfect! KotLC Rocks! 

And your welcome for the pie! I got a cook book, so I decided to try out the pie recipe! I hope it turned out good! 

Glimmer, where in the world did you get a cook book from? 

Well -

On second thought, I might not want to know. I can't wait to see you around Skip!

Welcome to the Chatterbox, Skip! I love your name. I'm Quill, my pronouns are she/they. I'm a theater kid too! What are your favorite shows? Is your school doing one this year? I'm currently in Anything Goes.

Other people have already answered your questions, but I'll pitch in anyway. AEs are characters that represent an aspect of your personality. They talk in your posts in different formats, like bold, italics, and bold italics. My AEs are Bean, Harper, and Ace. A CAPTCHA is the little box at the bottom of a post to make sure you're a person, a lot of us name ours and treat them like pets. My CAPTCHA is Basil, a budgie.

It's nice to meet you, let me know if you have any other questions!
