I've been more or less on the CB for almost a year, I think. I guess it's almost my CBversary. Recently I've just been popping in and out mostly in Down to Earth.

I love Lord of the Rings and Tolkien in general. The Silmarillion is amazing. Aragorn is my favorite character EVER, from any fandom, and I also love Legolas, Pippin, Boromir, Maglor, Maedhros, Fingon, and... Well, I could go on. To fellow Aragorn & Legolas fans - had anyone read the Mellon Chronicles by any chance? I wish I was an elf.

Some of my other favorite books are Keeper of the Lost Cities, Alex Rider, and the Chronicles of Narnia. Also the Blue Sword, by Robin McKinley, and The Sweet and the Sword. Those two are so good but really underrated.

Percy Jackson and Harry Potter are overrated...

My favorite colors are blue and purple.

I'm also a writer, by which I mean I spend all my free time thinking about my many stories in progress while actively avoiding actual writing XD

That's all I can think of for now.

One of my favorite books is The Gospel of Loki by Joanne Harris. It's a retelling of Norse mythology. 

Also, I like the myth version of Loki better than the movie version.

Also, I've been reading fanfiction. 

Hmmmm, what else. Oh, yes. I like snakes. Specifically garter snakes cause they're so little and cute :). Their saliva is midly paralytic, but it is not strong enough to harm a human.

I like cayenne pepper. It goes well on chili, in curry, hot chocolate, chocolate bars, if I drank coffee then probably in coffee too, on eggs. 

I dislike movie directors who don't follow the book. Examples of awful movies because they didn't follow the book: Artemis Fowl, Enola Holmes, The Lightning Thief, The Seventh Son, The Hobbit, hmmm Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings were actually fine, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. If you'd like, I can go on a very long rant about any of these awful movies! :P 

So that was my evening yesterday. 

Also, see attached pic for me, my CBer, and my siblings! (Pic drawn by Wren)

Heyyo! I'm Jaybells!

I use she/her pronouns, am a bit of a tomboy, love pretty-sounding words and am probably far too imaginative for my own good. I'm really 'good' at procrastinating, love languages and music, and spend a fair amount of time: being sick/injured, drawing/doing something artsy, making/writing/listening to musics, writing/planning or at least attempting to plan something worth reading in a never-ending downward spiral and- *gasps for breath*

Um yeah, fun stuff. Anyway... It's sorta hard for me to describe my own personality concisely, since I see the layers and nuance in people and the behaviour(s) so. Um; I guess I'm an introvert, but can be very talkative if the room is right, my mood is right, I'm around the right people and there's a specific topic at hand I'm knowledgeable about. I tend to be pretty serious, but I'm definitely up for light humour; it'll usually more sarcastic/dry and/or dramatic, or just kinda obscure(?) references (cause I'm a dork) when it's coming from me. I can honestly be pretty hyper, or manic, what say you; I feel like generally I'm pretty enthusiastic about talking to people on here... Eh. Not so much in Real Life though? Like, I've got a bunch of 'issues,' I guess. Depression, ADHD, anxiety, pyschotic breaks, more. Bleh. I'm not saying having those makes anyone less of a person, or defective or anything, but it's definitely rough to live with, especially due to general(undereserved) social stigma. I don't know if that's always/ever apparent when people interact with me, but I think it more often than not affects my internal/creative process and all that.

Anyway, back to lighter topics, I live more 'in-the-moment'/in a parallel world of thoughts rather than the past, or especially the future (with the former being a concious effort and the latter being an infuriating attempt for my brain to keep itself from drowning in an ocean of anxiety). Probably. 

I like tennis, floor hockey, tennis and tennis-related sports (like badminton, pickle ball, ping-pong, etc.) as well as football(or soccer, if you will). Most things are OK, though honestly.

Instruments/singing and all that is fun; I play the violin and piano and harp and am convinced I will someday teach myself to 'fluently' play guitar and percussion. Definitely.

Languages I can speak: English (duh), Spanish, Japanese, French, Irish Gaelic, Danish and a bit of Italian, Hebrew, Russian and Chinese. 

Languages I badly want to be able to speak: Navajo, Arabic, German, Korean, Mongolian, Polish, Turkish, Swahili(or another set of African languages) and the aforementioned languages that I am slightly less proficient in. Too many? Never! :P    (I'll prolly need it for future world-building, to be honest...)

I'm sorta bored about talking about myself so much now... So, Bye! Ciao! See y'all later!

(Maybe I'll add stuff if I can remember, some indefinite period from now. :))
