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! Nice to meet you! I'm Peppermint, but you can call me Pepper for short. :) I also like Oliva Rodrigo, although I haven't listened to all of her songs. It's cool that you play guitar and ukulele! I have a ukulele, but I haven't practiced it in a looong time. My preferred instrument is clarinet, which I've been playing for the last couple years. I think your questions got answered, but let me know if you have any more! See you around!

Hello Pepper! I used to play clarinet but i stopped a couple years ago. Have you listened to Sour yet? It is really good!

Hi, Skip!! I'm Feline Fantasy, or Feli for short, an artist/writer/fangirl. I use she/her pronouns. I'm weird, creative, school-smart, and have waaay too many cats. I can't wait to see you around more!

An AE, strictly speaking, doesn't technically need to be part your personality, but a lot of people do that. (I don't.) A CAPTCHA is basically when you make the code things at the bottom into a character, and they can only speak in 5-letter words, like this:

*Hello, I'mSaf fronn*

I hope that helped, and I can't wait to see you around more! *finger guns*

Hello Feli! I love cats! I'm not allowed to have one though because my dad is allergic. Thank you for the helpful answers!! *finger guns back*

I'MLATEI'MLATEI'MLATE 

I apologize.

Hello, Skip! Welcome to the CB! I'm Luminescence, but everyone (...including myself) calls me Lumi around here :) I actually onced signed an email "-Lumi" instead of my irl name, which has the same first two letters and almost rhymes. Which was awkward.

In the way of creating things, I'm a poet first, and an author second. Other than that, I'm also 12 years old, use she/her pronouns, love all shades of blue especially cobalt, and pretty much am listening to music 24/7. I love cavetown, dodie, Regina Spektor, Phoebe Bridgers, Sara Bareilles, and the song "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie (but I still haven't listened to any of their other stuff XD), "New Soul" by Yael Naïm, and a lot of other songs.

I have spent my life under a rock and it doesn't look like I'll be leaving anytime soon, so don't expect me to understand any references to pop culture XD I'm stubborn, slightly argumentative, and talk too much ;) I love using emoticons and I will never use an lol.

Ever.

(you can put that on record XD and again, the only reason is i've spent so many years saying i wouldn't that i really couldn't start now without seriously injuring my pride).

I love giving advice and I like to think I'm a kind person (but if I said "I am a kind person" i'd seem very annoying haha). I am a Queen of Procrastination and I am a shy extrovert. Which is absolutely a thing.

I love KotLC way too much and since you appear to know what it is, I shall tell you my ships: Dexiana (Dex/Biana), Kam (Keefe/Tam), Sosingle (Sophie/no one) (for now), Sophitz (Sophie/Fitz and I'll hope you didn't actually need me to explain that) (in two hundred years), Marellinh (Marella/Linh. Okay, maaaaaaybe it's just because they're my two favorite charries and also firexwater), and I think that's it.

I spend too much time reading bad fanfiction and COVID-19 has destroyed any semblance to common sense I may have had.

Not really, I'm still risk-averse and don't do dumb things (on purpose, that is), but I'm extremely socially awkward even with people I already know because I have socialized with exactly 3 people outside of zoom school, the chatterbox, and my family for the past year +. 

I am aBsOlUtElY tErRiFiEd of being judged by people regardless of wether I know them or not, and I'm really ridiculously scared of offending people even if they're saying awful things and I don't take offense easily, though sometimes I act like an unfeeling rock so apologies in advance haha.  

It's not uncommon for me to give up on capitalization, but I'll never give up on punctuation or spelling.

I have two AEs, the one-and-only Mid and the older sister I wish I had, Blaze, as well as two completely insane sugar glider CAPTCHAs, one of which used to belong to th3mysticw0lf, hence the having two, and so if you get smacked with a pie right about-

*throws pie*

...now...

Are you serious, Kiwi?

Are you serious, Blaze? Why are you even surprised at this point?

*ignores* You can't just throw PIES at people randomly! especially new CBers, AEs, and CAPTCHAs! Even Ibi hasn't done-

*gets hit in the face with a pie* IBI I SWEAR TO THE GODS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT EXIST-

*collapses in laughter* 

<*gets ready to launch another pie*>

HELLO! ARE YOU GOING TO INTRODUCE YOURSELVES OR NOT!

*is speechless* 

She'll be fine. I think. Anyways. I'm Mid, short for Midnight, because Lumi really had terrible taste in names for characters as an 11-year-old, but whatever, it's fine. Blaze gave me the nickname, by the way. I use he/him pronouns.

*still currently shocked into speechlessness* 

*has an idea* Whatever Blaze tells you, I am older than her.

asdfghjkl you are NOT! Older! Than! Me! We! Are! The! Same! Age!

Anyways. I'm sorry you had to see all of... that. I'm Blaze, hello! I use she/her pronouns and even though he was created before me we both appear to be the same age.

Though.

My siblings rarely- actually that's not true. It's just Mid who doesn't always act his age. Actually that's not true either. It's just the sugar gliders who don't act their-

SPEKN OFWCH! HELLO! Iammm Kiwii, nicto metyu. Iusee sheee / theyy prons anddd Iammm co-qen ofthe unvrs.

<HISKP! I'mIbi. Theee slily moree matre vrsin ofKiw. Iamth other co-qen ofthe unvrs. Kibii isNOT aship howdr youuu sugst itttt. Ialso usshe /theyy prons.>

PSAAA BROTT TOYOU BYIBI ANDDD KIWII, CO-QNS OFTHE UNVRS-

oh great-

<BOWWW DOWNN TOUSS, LOWLY MAMLS!>

*disappears [i can do that! i'm an ae! i am no longer responsible for anything that happens here! thank you and sorry you have to witness this!]*

I thought you were coming up with new announcements.

Can you please refrain from calling anyone lowly.

<EQUALL RIGTS FORRR CPTAs!>

what are you even talking about.

*yelling*

CAN YOU FINISH THIS OUTSIDE OF THE POST PLEASE AND THANK YOU

wow uh hello Lumi, Mid, Blaze, Kiwii, and Ibi! Lovely to meet you all! That was quite the welcome. 

*Gets smacked with a pie* 

Well, at least it was only pie. I'll read you around! and crazy isn't that bad, I mean if we were all normal that would be boring.
