Hey!! i'm so happy you wanted to do this. And no problem! I try to pay attention, and I've decided that I can most definetly reach out, so that even if the answer is no, then I'd know!
Soooooo
You say you post a ton at once? Believe me, I've noticed lol, and I love it! It just means you have lots to say, and it makes it a lot of fun <3 I, for one, don't really do long posts like you, but yeah... Sometimes
What are some of your favorite authors or books? Share some (or all, and I'm assuming you;ll do the second) Some of mine are Wings of Fire, KotLC, anything by Rick Rioridan, anything by Brandon Mull, Story Theives, The lunar chronicals, Warriors, Morrigan crow, Land of Stories, Sisters Grimm and many, many more. I currently own over 270 chapter books, with tons on my wish list :D
Do you have any pets? My family has a dog, his name is Bailey, and he's a boxer/lab mix. He's gettin on in years; he's 12/13 in human years
Any sibs? I have two younger brothers, and a 34 year old stepbrother- he's already got a son, so I'm an aunt- talk about strange! My nephew is like, 1 1/2, I think now. I haven't met him yet, my brother and fam live in a completly different state
Bye for now!! oh, and just a warning, I might not get back right away, since I have to use up most of my screen time for school nowadays. But I'll try and responed ASAP!

Okay, I started and finished the book last night. It was amazing. I teared up several time throughout the book, but toward the end tears were literally streaming down my face TT

Sorry, some short reviews right now cuz limited time
I'm listening to Greensleves - best version, if that's what you mean, right now. Soo good! I mean, wow, I love love love it!! :D
Ooh, Crystal Snow is also awesome!! I love the video picture of that face too!
for On, do you mean feat. Sia? All the other ones I can find are like 4-5 minutes, or maybe you do mean those ones?
Ooh, for So What it's cool they have all the lyrics on screen! Lyrics are great too (I especially love the "so what-what-what" part!)
Anpanman is cool! Their dancing is all always so great!
Life goes on.. is it about covid? Yup I think so ooh I like this one! Lyrics are cool!
Outro: Wings kinda starts immediately, I was immediately like, ooh! :) This one's probably my favorite out of all of these, the music, yess! :)
Ooh nvm Butterfly is so so great too! Yeah, it's really gentle and soft and smooth, it's great! And there's a rap part too! :)
Thx for all the recs!! I'm always open for more!! :D
(November 21, 2023 - 8:14 pm)
And for more books, HAVE I NOT PUT DAV PILKEY YET?!? If so, Dav Pilkey. Dog Man. Cat Kid. The best. :)
Mellybean's pretty cool too. And I Am the Messenger, forgot to put, but it's SOOOO GOOD!!! (bit inappropriate too though, btw been reading it for months and still not done, not bc I can't put it down, but bc ackk library books priority, so just fyi).
AnyWAYS, I-
*stops typing*
*listens to conversation in the other room where my brother is teaching my dad to play video games*
brother: HAHAHAHAHA!!
dad: oh NO! Your friend killed me!!! >:(
brother: HAHAHAHAHAA!!!
*both start laughing hysterically*
brother: *suddenly stops laughing* oh NO!
dad: I told you to JUMP why didn't you JUMP
brother: oh, you wanna bet!?
dad: ow!
brother: heehee
dad: I've gotta go faster gotta go faster
brother: run away run away!!
dad: *sighs* ohhh, ouch! Ah, sorry.. YEAHHH 345!!!
*both break into hysterics again*
...ummm, yeah, as I was saying?? I've been wondering why your locations sometimes says "my thoughts in Korea"? Any particular reason? Just curious :)
And long rant coming soon :) :)
(November 26, 2023 - 7:50 pm)
HIIIIIII! *Poofs outta nowhere*
EEEEE yes I love talking to you and everytime I come just for a quick scan on the CB my heart always leaps when I've seen you've posted and I'm all like YESSSSSSSSS
Yes rants right uhhh.... Ha, I don't mind! I love hearing from you (like I said) and anytime you have a rant you need to get you I will be happy to read (though if you're asking for advice I MIGHT not be the best person to ask... hehe) Could you return the favor? I have a rant too :( not a great one, I must add
What books. Um, one is like a picture book by Grace Lin (have you read her stuff? its goodddd) And I can't remember the other
Sorry, no autograph yet! I can't post pictures cause of our new laptop- can't transfer sturf from phones.... But! I was thinking. I love this place so much, I was thinking that if I ever finish a book, I could dedicate it to the Chatterbox! It would go something like this: To the Chatterbox and the people who make it the amazing place it is, past, present, and future! Especially to Hex and CelineBuringBright.
Sound good? You two are such good friends, I SWEAR I'll dedicate some book to you. And actually, I'm thinking of having my published name be Lauren Hawkstar. My first name actually IS Lauren, but obviously my last name isn't Hawkstar :) Do you feel comfortable telling your first name?
I do have some favorite stuffies! Lammie Pie is one, he's a sheep, and more of my snuggle buddy then anything. He keeps the bad dreams away ;) Carmela is a horse I loved as a child (I mean, still do) Instead of a doll, Carmela would be in the swing, stroller, all that.
They aren't necassarily my FAVORITE, but if you don't mind I'll explain our complicated family of rabbits. SO
Smoke is the dad, Cinnamon the mom
Pepper is the oldest, he likes to play trumpet and eat EVERYTHING
then it's Suger and Coco, twins. Suger likes shopping, Coco likes basketball
the youngest is Vanilla, she's a ballet dancer (she has a little tu-tu)
Cousins- Violet and Sunshine are sister and brother, and little Alfred is Easter's younger brother. Then there's the baby triplets, Thunder, Smoke, and Snowdrop (Snowdrop's mine, the other two are my brothers rabbits)
Okaaaaay, you probably didn't really need to know all that BUT. Anyway, what about you? any favorites (and no, I don't have any stories.)
That sound like so much fun!!! Maybe I will enter next year.
HAHAHAHA LOVED the different vanilla's lol that made me laugh XD
Yes, seriously! LIKE I SAID, I love read you!
Okay, great! @Admins, instead of 'Group chat that has No Name... At least, so far ;)' at the top of this thread, could you put StarFlame Chat? Thanks <3
Thanks *blinks shyly* I'm glad you like my RP! I have great plans for it~ Hee hee *giggles* I love him already! Well, duh, I said I loved Calli so *joins you in the corner* Yes, I know! I almost had the last name be Snow, but that wouldn't go with my idea sooo
Okay, so On lemme look. NO, there is no Sia, I know that much.... Okay. So the On that has the dancing, the video before you click on it has a bunch of people looking small at the bottom of the video and the big white words ON at the top of it. The one that is like a short movie has V's face from a part of that video before you click on it. And yes, the dancing one is 1 second away from being 5min long. (I hope that all made sense)
AnD back at cha! you have doomed yourself :0 neverending BTS songs are comin at you (but srsly, tell me to back off with those if it gets to be too much)
Airplane pt 2- Very nice music, and lyrics
UGH!- kind of violent sounding, but good. It's sung by the three rappers in the band (RM, Suga, and J-Hope) I read that the song is them expressing their anger at the anger and violence in the world
My Universe- It's sung by BTS and Coldplay, if you know who that is? It's pretty good
Let Go- Not Let It Go, has nothing to do with Elsa XD
Blue and Gray- a sad song, I could totally relate to it some days.
Yet to Come- Great song, good beat, in my top 10 favorites by BTS
Your eyes tell- Same here, good beat, great song, top 10 favs. Only, it's very sweet and has hardly any English at all (not that I care)
(one moreeee) Did I say Idol yet? If not, then Idol- great dancing in it, got good lyrics (You can't stop me lovin myself (love that line))
HA that's pretty funny XDDDD The other day, my 8 year old brother (Can you remember JD? 8 year old brother takes too long to type any time I want to mention him) anyway, JD was running around in the house like crazy, and my dad caught him and hung him upside down (y'know, just playin) and my Dad said- "You made yourself all wild" and I muttered to myself "Made himself wild? what d'ya mean? He was never tamed" *snickers at myself*
Ah yes, My thoughts in Korea. Well, it's mostly because of BTS (cause that's where they are, were they live and stuff) and my thoughts are often about them so I simply did that instead of saying something ABOUT BTS on the location because not everyone know's who that is. But everyone should know what Korea is, even if they don't get my feeling behind it. And it's really pretty in South Korea! Have you ever seen pics? (wowww that was long- I hope you understood all that- and not think it's petty or anything) ANyWAys, thanks for asking! Bye!!
Change made.

oh, lol just posted my long thing and I forgot to add these two things on so back briefly
Thanks so much for joining my ski lodge! I was going to tell you abt it but then you just joined by yourself and I was like YAYYY
And I got a pen pal! she lives somewhere in British Columbia, (which is kinda far, I'm in Texas(though I'll be moving to a different state soon)) She wrote, and I'm excitedly waiting for it to arrive!! (Oh, and do you live in the US?)
(December 3, 2023 - 4:44 pm)
AHH I LOVE TALKING WITH YOU TOO (Ik I prob say/will say that a lot, and maybe with the same wording, but it's true each time :D)
yess I saw your post and I literally silent screamed and did a little fist-pump!! Then I played some basketball with my dad and brother and made 8 swishes from beyond our 3-pt line (but it's not an official 3-pt line, not enough space for that) which I shouldn't be so proud of but am, bc I was so excited and so I had to make myself wait to read your post when I had more time and my brother wasn't like "come help me film a video playing basketball" And then I came back and saw the chat name!! Ahh!! Tysm @admins!!! :D
that prob just didn't make any sense at all but oh well
YES I'D BE HAPPY TO RETURN THE FAVOR!! And I'll try to give you advice too, if you want (but, like you said, may or may not be good who knows). I don't particularly want advice (though if you have any, that's always appreciated!), just kinda wanna rant cuz ugh :) so yup if you're certain I'll try to get that to you soon! And since we both have not-so-great rants I can give a happy one too if you want (which I also want to get out)?
GRACE LIN I LOVE GRACE LIN!!! Grew up reading Where the Mountains Meet the Moon, Starry River of the Sky, and When the Sea Turned Silver with my family! In like 2nd-3rd grade I loved loved loved Dumpling Days, Year of the Dog, and Year of the Rat, as well as read some Ling and Ting books, and a mooncake book by her? Perhaps you're talking about that one? Something about taking a bite out of the moon(cake)??? But as I said, that was years ago, I don't much remember much. Oh, and looking at my books, I also have a red string picture book by her!
NO WAY SERIOUSLY?!? I mean, yes, Ik you sound serious, but I just can't quite wrap my head around it (oc, my head's always been pretty small, and not that stretchy). I mean, I get Hex, Hex is awesome!! But... I mean... I... wow does that sound good?!? YESS PLEASE!! That'd be such an honor (oc, pls don't feel like you have to)! I would offer the same to you, but... yeah I don't think I would be able to do that sorry (which is like ahh so much bc if I publish a book I don't think I'll be able to put anything about the CB in it which is horrible bc it deserves top spot in acknowledgements/dedications you all help(ed) so so much... :( also sorry I don't think I can say why)
ooh now I know what name to look for! :) and, hey, Ik a Lauren! Any chance (extremely small chance cuz she does not live in Texas but I'll try anyway why not) you're in... hmm... Boy Scouts? Soccer? Sorry, I don't really want to tell my real name bc eek, but Lauren's a cool name! :)
Ooh, I love your stuffies!! AND that whole extensive family of rabbits, that was amazing!! The only family I have even remotely close to that are my pandas. The daughter is Isabelle and she's wearing a poofy extravagant pink shirt but don't think she's so obsessed with her looks, bc she is NOT she's just wearing that shirt. Then there's mama bear and baba bear (Ik, such creative names!!) and bear-who-I-forgot-existed-till-3-hours-ago-bc-he's-my-brother's-hence-idk-his-name but he's basically the teensy tiny baby brother of the family.
I absolutely cannot have any stuffie favorites bc if I do I feel extremely guilty so let's just say I love them all equally :)
I only have one story, which isn't that exciting, but baffles me. So basically I have this baby unicorn named Bella. She's been with me since forever. A few months ago, I was looking through my mom's phone's photos, and found a drawing I made of Bella. Beneath the drawing it said: "Isabella, nickname Bella, the unicorn" and I was like WHAT I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU BY YOUR NICKNAME FOR AT LEAST 3 YEARS NOW?!? And along the way (pls pretend it's still in all-caps it's just kinda aggressive to write that way) I got an adorable tiger stuffie and named her Isabella believing fully your name was Bella?!? (not-caps now) But it's fine. I just still call Bella Bella and I called the tiger Izzy anyways, even before. So all good! :)
But here's a story with my history teacher's stuffies Ig! I already posted it so it may sound familiar, but I'll tell it again. So my history teacher also teaches politics, and he told us that when he was 10 years old, he would go down to the basement and set up government with his stuffies and run through voting elections and all that, so it was only fitting he became a politics teacher!
...yup, that's it. That's the whole story. Sorry I didn't tell it well so it prob wasn't funny, but well, I'm not that funny anyways :)
Yay, thx! More recommendations! I'll try to see if I can listen to those songs soon (but no guarantees)! And yess we are both doomed now we are doomed together!!! MWAHAHAHAHAA!!! >:)
but WAIT! I know My Universe!!! I had it stuck in my head for an infuriatingly long time yesterday (no offense against the song oc, it's a pretty good song, I like it!)! Mostly cuz my whole family loves Coldplay :)
ahh, brothers *dramatic sigh* :)
Ohh, I get it now. Cool! :)
and oc I joined your ski lodge!!! It's (ohmyackksososososo) awesome!!! :DD
Yes, I do, in fact, live in the US! Ooh, Texas! This is such a weird thing to say about Texas but it's what I think of when I think of Texas so I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, my dad saw a really cool bird sitting on a light pole there once and also he saw... ok yup sorry nope I'm not gonna say it it's kinda inappropriate... but Texas has such cool weird laws!! Have you ever seen Paris, Texas? And, oh, wow, moving!! What state (if you don't mind telling?)? Maybe you'll move to where I am! That'd be cool! :) Are you excited?
and also yayy pen pals so awesome!! That's great! And wow British Columbia... please excuse my geography if this is wrong but is that Canada I think? Another country! Canada's awesome!
anyways yup ending there sry this post is bad and lacking energy cuz I'm tired but couldn't wait to reply... :/
anyways, looking forward to your reply, but again, no pressure, thanks! :)
(and that was a horrible unsatisfactory conclusion to all of this...)
(December 4, 2023 - 2:52 am)
Also I think I have more to post I'll post tomorrow sorry
(December 4, 2023 - 2:54 am)
Soo.... I was gonna do the sad rant first but nope I'm doing a HAPPY rant cuz ACKK just today something amazing and probably not that monumental but still it was for me happened and EEEEKKKKK!!!
ahem
so.
I usually don't freak out over things like "crushes" or stuff. BUT. (you can prob tell where this is going, huh?)... I HAVE A SQUISH!!! Ok yeah not a crush but at first I thought it was a crush but then I learned what a squish is and I was like woah all those times I thought I had crushes they were ALL squishes I never knew that's why I was so kinda repulsed when I thought of it and they all died off... :0
(btw if you don't know what a squish is it's basically a platonic crush, and it's different for everyone but it's basically, well, as I said, a crush, but you don't really want to, like, kiss that person as much, you just want to spend time with them and love them and get to know them... but as I said, different for everyone, this is just me. Like friends but more than friends? But still not exactly extremely close friends either more close than extremely close friends??? Like I want to spend all my time with this person and talk about everything and make them laugh and... yeah I'll stop this sounds really cringey XD)
but now Ik it's a squish so I don't have to be repulsed (for lack of a better term)!! This person, I'll use they/them pronouns and let's call them R, so basically R is AWESOME I don't even know why I think they're so awesome but they are. They're always so... ok, just think Calligraphy. Now you know. So R is great and whenever I look at them or even HEAR THEIR NAME MENTIONED it's just like woosh! butterflies! BLAM BLAM BLAM face overheats wayyyy too much. So yeah. So basically the thing that happened today was really just R came up and COMPLIMENTED ME and haha that's not a big accomplishment at all but still it felt sooo gooooood and I'm freaking out over something so small I know but I mean ackkk!!!
(btw most days I don't even interact with R though I see them a lot bc I'm so shy like I only exchange like 1 word with them like once every month though we see each other like basically every day that's why I'm so excited)
(but also oh my R was so cute when they came up too usually I don't freak out over cuteness at ALL (except for doggies. Doggies. Are. SOOOOO. CUTE. How can you not freak out over their cuteness) or think humans are cute, period, but ackkk oh my you can only know if you were there I had the moment on replay in my head like the whole day eek)
so yes prob nothing will come out of this, mostly cuz I'm so shy, but also cuz I think I'm also sorta unfriendly irl I just send out like unfriendly/serious/party-pooper vibes it feels like and I'm just so AWKWARD (you do not want to hear my response to the compliment) and DON'T KNOW HOW TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE at ALLL but... yeah just had to share
if anyone I know sees this I'm doomed (ok, maybe not, but I still hope not)
do you have experiences with crushes/squishes (oc, you don't have to share/answer if you don't want to :) )?
(December 4, 2023 - 7:43 pm)
Yup still haven't posted the rest... but top anyways! :D
Feiya says PXYOK
(December 16, 2023 - 7:58 pm)
*me bowling my squish over today* it's fine though, we were playing soccer, and both got right back up (actually, I hadn't fallen, just sorta semi-crouched?? can't remember, it was all so sudden) but still. It doesn't help that they're considerably shorter than me, not because I'm extremely tall, but because they're sorta short, so for some reason idk why that made me feel extra guilty (I always say sorry way too much when I knock ppl over in sports, I mean, it's sports, Celine, what d'you expect, gotta be aggressive, but... still) ... sO aWkWaRd I still heat up when I think of it, I hope no one noticed and I sure hope no one who I know (or was in/watching that game) is reading this! :)
also who knows know why I'm telling you and, in doing so, telling the whole world (including ppl I don't necessarily want to know this) this but *posts*
(December 18, 2023 - 8:30 pm)
I'm here! I was totally NOT avoiding thinking today- my brain is totally active
I love talking to you ack (don't worry, I'll be saying it a lot too, and I don't mind it being said to me-at all! ;)) You have such a fun, excitable, happy, and amazing way with words! It's hard to believe you're shy irl :D
Haha, I literally have the same reaction whenever I see you have posted :DDD I get this giant grin on my face, and then I hurry to see if it's showed up yet.
I guess I don't need to rant- it was all worked out. I love your rant about your squish, though! they sound mAzInG!! I don't have a crush/squish (quite unfortunetly) None of the people I know are my type, sooooo... But yeah! You can tell me ALL you want about you squish (I mean, if you feel comfortable with me reading and possibly other people that read through these things) I haven't had a squish/crush since I was 7 (which was almost 8 years ago daaaang) I mean, I've had like, OMG he's so CUTE I like him! moments, but then it disappears very quickly lol
YUS I love all of those books! they are so good, (which reminds me... they really need to go on my wish list...) Idk, it could've been one of those books, but I can't be sure.
Girl, I am DEADLY serious. I swear I will dedicate one of my books to the CB- and especially, you! You haven't been on here very long, like what (6-7 months?) But I feel like you've already made a big impression on the CB! You are such an awesome friend, and I want the world to know it :) even if they don't have a clue who CelineBurningBright is :p
That's fine! I didn't think you'd want to, but I just thought I should ask :) I don't think I'm the Lauren you know/knew, since I haven't known any Asians. And no Girl Scouts for me, and I don't do sports. I used to live in California though. Erm. Not that it matters
Haha, I suppose you like the name Isabella, huh? I love your panda fam (love pandas) And UNICORNS are the best. I have one (wait two) One's named Trixie Pixie, and the other is Princess.
HA I love that history teacher XD so funny
You do know My Universe?! So cool! Yes, we have DOOMED each other MWHAHAHA
speaking of.... dunno if you listened to the other songs but whatev
so, I am going to give you my favorite songs that the members did by themselves.
Trivia Just Dance- this one is sung just by J-Hope, and it's super good
Trivia Seesaw- this one's all SUGA, and it's alright. I don't really have favorites by him.
Wild Flower by RM (feat. youjeen or somethin like that)- pretty good, I like it
The Astronaut- By Jin, it's such a sweet song <3
Like Crazy- There is an English version of this song by Jimin, if you'd rather listen to all English, but either version is great.
Euphoria by Jungkook, it's MAZIN
and finally, a tie. I love both Sweet night and Christmas tree by V, they are both so sweet and amazing.
Girl, you joined my ski lodge, and then you were the first to join the Booklyn Library Lodge even though you didn't know it was me *cough cough* I'm totally not writing two ski lodges at once
I have been to Paris, TX, buuut we were just driving through on the way to OK on a road trip XD
I'll be moving to Kentucky, and yes, I am excited! I doubt you live in KY, but if you do, that would be THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME ACK!! Just heads up, if by ANY IMPOSSIBLE chance I meet you irl, I'm gonna just go right ahead and give you a GIANT HUG (gosh, hope that didn't sound weird)
Yeah, Canada! I counted the days until it got here, and it took 2 weeks! But because she lives like in the middle of nowhere (a town of 100!) it takes an extra week. so that's why it took so long. How many pen pals do you have? How did they become your pen pals?
UGH *looks at the date you posted* I'm so sorry!!! that was like 2 weeks, I shouldn'tve done that :( Okay, new rule. I have to post within a week of YOU posting. *nods saticfactly* that'll do it
I wanted to ask a favor? Could you draw me? Either you can go hunting out my appearance that I've posted multiple places, or you could just imagine me :) I'll do you! (if you don't mind)
weeell, I suppose I'll be going. Tell me all about Taiwan when you get back! I hope you have/had fun! Byeeee
(December 22, 2023 - 4:21 pm)
Coming back with more!
So, Taiwan. Just wondering, is that where your ancestry comes from? And how do they celebrate the holidays around this time of year?
Have you ever read The School for good and evil? I really love it- and I think you would to if you haven't already read it.
What is your favorite color? I don't think I asked that-
How many AE's do you have again? I have 8 :0 :/ :D
(December 28, 2023 - 8:13 pm)
Oh, and do you know any riddles? I really like them- and I have a few if you want to hear them! and I'll keep this topped btw
(December 29, 2023 - 4:44 pm)
MORE BTS SONGS
You needneedneedneed to listen to Dreamers by Jungkook (and something like FIFA?) It sooo good these lyrics tho
Look who we are, we are the dreamers/we make it happen, 'cause we believe it/Look who we are, we are the dreamers/we make it happen, 'cause we can see it
AND
We are bulletproof: the enternal
