[Speaker 1] Calc 1. I cried... So.. Many.. Times in that class! I am more into literature.

[Speaker 2] I wrote a poem about my bike, while I was on it, riding.

[Speaker 1] Haha! You are a poet or comedian?

[Speaker 2] Both. This school is cool, but I might go to public university.

[Speaker 1] Haha. Lets collab I'm an aspiring publisher.

[Speaker 2] I'm still in high school. I'm not stupid, I know I'm naive. But sure

[Speaker 1] That's cool. When do you graduate?

[Speaker 2] Summer. I'm going to ukraine.

[Speaker 1] That is awesome! One of my favorite authors is from there.

[Speaker 2] Who? My grandmother lives there. I am sure she knows about them

I enjoy literature to math.

I'm an aspiring publisher.

I am a student.

I write poetry and ride my bike.

I'm a poet and comedian.

I am a high school student.

I graduate high school in the summer.  I'm also going to Ukraine.

My grandmother lives in Ukraine.

[Speaker 1] I just bought a book from my favorite author.

[Speaker 2] That's great! How long does it usually take you to finish a book?

[Speaker 1] Between a week to a month. I like to savor good books.

[Speaker 2] Same here. What genre is the book?

[Speaker 1] This one is a science-fiction book.

[Speaker 2] Wow that's cool. I recently starting writing a science fiction book. It's my first time attempting a novel

[Speaker 1] What is the book about?

[Speaker 2] It's about an alternate universe where robots are the civilization and they produce humans as friends

[Speaker 1] That sounds crazy cool! I would definitely read that.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for that reassurance! I will probably send you a copy before I publish

[Speaker 1] If you would like help publishing I would totally look into it for you! I have a few good connections.

[Speaker 2] That would be wonderful! As a student I don't know many avenues to publish.

I enjoy literature to math.

I like reading. It takes between a week and a month for me to finish a book.

I am a high school student.  I graduate high school in the summer.

I write poetry and ride my bike. I'm a poet and comedian.

I'm also going to Ukraine. My grandmother lives in Ukraine.

I like reading. It also takes between a week and a month for me to finish a book.

I am writing my first novel. My novel is science fiction about robots who create humans.

I do not have many connections in the publishing industry.

[Speaker 1] I just talked to one of my friends who works in a publishing house, and she's interested in seeing a draft of your book!

[Speaker 2] That's fantastic! How long have they been working at the publishing house?

[Speaker 1] I don't know exactly but she has been there for at least 6 years, probably even longer. If she likes your book she can help you publish your book for sure.

[Speaker 2] Yeah absolutely, it'll be great to have a professional take a look at it. Do you think you'll be able to break into the publishing industry soon? Maybe your friend can help you.

[Speaker 1] She can help but it will take a while. I am giving myself a couple of years.You have to follow your  dream even if it's hard to achieve.

[Speaker 2] 100% agree. Even if my current novel doesn't take off or the publishing house doesn't want to run it, I'm still going to keep at it. Have you started reading any good books recently?

[Speaker 1] I have started reading one over the weekend but not too good I am afraid. Nothing to recommend there. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I recently started a fantasy series by Melissa McPhail. It's probably one of the best series I've read in a while. It has excellent world building and super detailed characters. They really come to life.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great, I like to read a good fantasy. I will have a look at it tomorrow. Are you planning to go to Ukraine this year?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, we'll probably go closer to the holidays so my parents don't have to use too many vacation days. It's also a lot more fun to visit other countries during major holidays. Do you have any big travel plans this year?

[Speaker 1] Not really, I was just talking to my friend yesterday who lives in Dallas, I might visit him for a few days next month. But no other plans apart from that.

[Speaker 2] Nothing wrong with staying at home. As much as I enjoy visiting my grandmother, I hate actually getting to Ukraine. I'm not a big fan of flying.

I enjoy literature to math. I'm an aspiring publisher.I have connections in the publishing industry.

I like to read fantasy stories. One of my favorite authors is from Ukraine. It takes between a week and a month for me to finish a book. I like science fiction books with robots.

I have a friend who works in publishing. My friend wants to see your book draft. My friend has worked in publishing for at least six years.

[Speaker 1] So, I went and got a new book by Melissa McPhail...I love it! Thank you so much for the recommendation!

[Speaker 2] Hi ....How are you...Nice to connect with you again...

[Speaker 1] How has the writing on your novel been going?

[Speaker 2] Going good. Thanks for asking . How is your reading going on?  What was the book you started?

[Speaker 1] Reading is going well. I thought I would start reading the Hobbit series of books. I think they are going to take me longer than a weekend to et through though.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I like hobbit series too.. I will be more happy send my first draft of my novel to your friend for his/her suggestions .Have you been to Ukraine anytime?

[Speaker 1] I sure they will love to read through. It is always good to have a independent opinion on writing. I have never been Ukraine. Would you recommend visiting?

[Speaker 2] Yeah you could if you like to travel and explore places .. I am planning to travel with my parents to see my grandmother.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I love to explore! How are you going to travel? Are you still not travelling by air?

[Speaker 2] yeah we should somehow . What about your trip to your friends place , Dallas?

[Speaker 1] I am really looking forward to going to see them. I have not seen them in so long. Have not decided exactly when I will be going yet though..

[Speaker 2] I hope you have a wonderful time visiting your friend at Dallas. How far are you from Dallas. Do you need to take a plane?

I want to go back to school.

My favorite band is bon over.
I'm a vegan.
I work in public relations.
My parents raised me as a buddhist.
I am from seattle.

My goal is to be able to defend myself.
I love my siblings.
Some day I will live on the strip.
I enjoy streaming tv online.
I desire to be more in life.

I enjoy music.

I don't eat meat.

I'm employed by the government.

I was brought up not in main stream religion.

I live in the capital of washington.

[Speaker 1] Do you like call the midwife? I am watching it on netflix.

[Speaker 2] I've never heard of it. I am listening to bon over.

[Speaker 1] I just love watching things on netflix. Its a british show.

[Speaker 2] I like a vegan cooking show on there. I live in seattle, where are you?

[Speaker 1] I live in chicago but I'm dreaming of living in las vegas.

[Speaker 2] That sounds nice. I'm hoping to move to the beach.

[Speaker 1] But I think I should learn self defense before I move.

[Speaker 2] I'm a buddhist, I'm a peaceful person.

[Speaker 1] I'm peaceful but can never be safe enough in a big city.

[Speaker 2] Very true. Safety must come first, I'm in public relations and its a nightmare

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a good job though.

[Speaker 2] It is. A little boring at times. What do you do?

[Speaker 1] Currently nothing too big. I want to return to school to get a better job.

[Speaker 2] School is always a good idea.

[Speaker 1] I think my sister and best friend just went back.

[Speaker 2] You should follow them, you still have time to enroll.

I am watching Call the Midwife.

I enjoy Netflix.

I identify myself as a type of pacifist but want to be able to protect myself.

I have a job. I want to go back to school and get a better job.

My sister and my best friend just went back to school.

I watch a vegan cooking show on Netflix. I live in Seattle.

I hope to move to a beach.

I am a Buddhist. I identify as a a type of pacifist.

I work in public relations and often find it unpleasant.

My job is boring.

[Speaker 1] How has your job been? Still boring?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, there's not a whole lot for change in that department.  What kind of work do you do?

[Speaker 1] I'm a paralegal but I think I should to law school and become a lawyer. What would you do if you didn't do PR?

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's a good job!  I support the going to law school plan, it may be hard work, but worth it!  I'm not sure what I would do.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I don't mind the hard work. My sister and my best friend are having fun and we could do study sessions together on the weekends! So funny that we both identify as pacifists. How did you come to feel that way?

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's nice.  Yeah, it's always a lot less boring to have people to study with.  As far as the pacifist thing, I feel like at a young age, it just seemed more common sense than anything.  There's no need for violence.

[Speaker 1] I completely agree. The world seems to have gotten more chaotic and angry and I wish I knew of a way to help society to become more peaceful. I guess you can only control your own actions, though.

[Speaker 2] That's a big part of it to me as well.  It took a while for me to realize I can't let other people's actions effect my thoughts/reactions negatively

I am watching Call the Midwife.

I enjoy Netflix.

I live in Chicago. I want to live in Las Vegas.  I believe I need to learn self defense before I move to Las Vegas.

I am a paralegal. I am interested in becoming a lawyer. I want to go back to school and get a better job.

I hope to move to a beach.

I work in public relations and often find it unpleasant and boring.

[Speaker 1] What sort of things interest you that you could do for work?

[Speaker 2] Well, I enjoy my cooking shows, although I wouldn't call myself a cook. That's a tough one really.

[Speaker 1] Have you seen any of the Bon Ap episodes on Youtube?

[Speaker 2] On Netflix, yes. All to often it eats up to much of my time. I almost miss network TV. Only because when the show is over its over. You can't watch ten more! What have you been watching?

[Speaker 1] The Chef Show! I feel like I am learning so much about cooking from watching it. And the episodes are only 20 minutes so i don't feel that guilty. What else is eating up your time?

[Speaker 2] Looking at places closer to the water. I would love to move. Not that I am really in a position to, but it's fun to look. Maybe if I combine house hunting with a job search I'll actually get something done. How about you? Looking in to Vegas at all?

[Speaker 1] Yea, but also trying to figure out if I want to go to law school there. What sorts of places have you been looking at? California? Florida? North Carolina?

[Speaker 2] San Diego, would be idea! But I can't really afford that I don't think. I can stay in Washington and be near the water. The weather isn't the same though. Are their alot of law schools in Vegas? I never considered it.

[Speaker 1] There are a few, but they don't have the best ranking. I'm also not sure what kind of law I want to practice and certain schools known for different types of programs. San Diego is wonderful! I was just there last year.

[Speaker 2] What kind of law are you in now? Is your sister looking into the path your interested in?

[Speaker 1] Currently I work for a fund formation and VC firm. Its a lot of mergers and investment. My sister is in privacy law.

[Speaker 2] Nice. Sounds exciting to me. Are you close to getting started on finding a school or still thinking about it?

I am watching Call the Midwife. I enjoy Netflix.

I am a paralegal. I work for a fund formation and VC firm. I am interested in becoming a lawyer. I want to go back to school and get a better job. My sister and my best friend just went back to law school. My sister is in privacy law.

I am learning so much about cooking from watching The Chef Show.

I have never watched Call the Mid Wife. I have listened to bon over. I watch a vegan cooking show on Netflix. I wouldn't call myself a cook.

I live in Seattle. I hope to move to a beach. I would love to move to the places closer to the water. I have been looking at San Diego. I can't really afford. I can stay in Washington and be near the water.

[Speaker 1] What type of food do you cook? What is your favorite food that you cook?

[Speaker 2] Italian, I love cooking chicken parms.

[Speaker 1] Nice! Chicken parm is so yummy! I can’t remember the last time I’ve had it.

[Speaker 2] It is! How did your self defense class go?

[Speaker 1] It went good I actually learned a couple moves! However it is a lot more work then I thought it would be. Do you know any self defense?

[Speaker 2] No, doing harm against someone woul dbe against the teachings of the Buddha, but I wonder if I should learn anyway...

[Speaker 1] Maybe learn just in case. There is some self defense without hurting others just to protect yourself.

[Speaker 2] That's very true. Did you learn self defense before deciding you wanted to go to LA or is that like a new place new you sort of thing?

[Speaker 1] New place new you, I just want to be safe anyways but being in a new place is sort of scary.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I can understand that, you get to know of a place you're living in and feel safe and comfortable. A new place there's none of that.

[Speaker 1] Exactly! It is so so scary. Have you ever moved?

[Speaker 2] Oh I'll have to check it out. I really like hiking on the west coast. Have you ever been hiking?

[Speaker 1] I go once in a while, specially in summer. West coast is my favorite too. someday we can plan together.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun! How is your job?

[Speaker 1] It's too much work. I don't get time for myself. I am thinking of quitting it. What you do as an environment activist?

[Speaker 2] That's too bad. I'd also like to switch careers and spend more time on environmental activism. It's more of a hobby right now, but I write blog posts about different environmental issues.

[Speaker 1] That's great being thinking about environment now. As we know so many issues like global warming are impacting us.

[Speaker 1] BOy that'd be something to see in person, I haven't seen them since my college years! I bet they can rip it up still!

[Speaker 2] I know; I am looking forward to it. Does your company give you a lot of leisure time' i rarely have much time so when I do have a free time i go out to enjoy myself

[Speaker 2] Good, pickling my eggs before a paint my nails. I am doing thing I like today

[Speaker 1] Very cool. I write code for computers but play with my dogs on the weekends.

[Speaker 2] Oh dogs! Sometimes I go on long hikes with mine something I like as well.

[Speaker 1] My 2 pits are a handful when I take them out.

[Speaker 2] Take them to the beach. Its where I kick butt at volleyball I'll do that later today.

[Speaker 1] There's a dog beach near here.... When the weather clears I may do that.

[Speaker 2] I ran into dog poop there.

[Speaker 1] Ick! Sorry to hear that.

[Speaker 2] Its ok my dogs licked it off

[Speaker 1] Og geez. Ll! That is dogs for you.

[Speaker 2] Yep did look tasty though.

[Speaker 1] You think? That's interesting you say that.

[Speaker 2] Some people say I have coprophagia but I don't know what that means

I computer program.
I have 2 Pitbull dogs.
I have a beach near me.

I like painting my nails. I like pickling eggs.

I sometimes go on long hikes with my dogs.

I play beach volleyball.

I may have coprophagia.

[Speaker 1] I did some research last night, and I do not believe you have coprophagia. The symptoms they had listed do not seem to fit your personality. Plus, i don't think you could play volleyball like you do if you have it. So don't listen to those people.

[Speaker 2] Okay thank you. I was worried about that. How are your dogs?

[Speaker 1] They're doing great! i'm trying to train them to play catch with a frisbee

[Speaker 2] Do you do that on the beach?

[Speaker 1] Yep! it's great to spend time by the water. were you able to go to the beach yesterday?

[Speaker 2] No, instead I took my dogs on a walk!

[Speaker 1] That's nice. Are they well behaved?

[Speaker 2] Yes they are very well behaved. Are your dogs?

[Speaker 1] They are actually very poorly trained. That's my fault because I spoil them too much

[Speaker 2] How do you spoil them?

[Speaker 1] Well they're quite young and cute so I give them treats even when they're naughty

I computer program.

I have 2 Pitbull dogs. My dogs are not well behaved. My dogs are young.

I have a beach near me.

I play beach volleyball.

I may have coprophagia.

My dogs are well behaved.

[Speaker 1] What kind of training do you do with your dogs.

[Speaker 2] I use treats. My dogs are driven by treats, so that typically works the best. Dexter, my oldest, would do just about anything for a treat. Have you tried training your dogs by starting out with something small?

[Speaker 1] I need to be better at it.  I adopted them as puppies just a year ago and while they're much better now, they still are pretty wild.

[Speaker 2] I've found that it's easiest to train one at a time. It gets the other one interested in what his brother is doing. Which makes the actual training easier. The first task I started with was if I put a treat on the floor and told them to 'leave it'. I would then tell them 'Ok' and they could get it. I then rewarded them with another treat when they were successful.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a great, easy start.  I'm going to try that and see how it goes.  Wish me luck.  Do your dogs like to swim? I take mine to the beach and they absoultely love it.  You're always welcome to join us!

[Speaker 2] My little dog, Ollie, isn't afriad of anything. He will jump right in. Dexter, on the other hand, won't even walk into the water. This summer, at our lake house, we will be working with him on it. He also doesn't care for when I give him a bath..

[Speaker 1] Oh Ollie is just a fun boy!  Maybe with time, Dexter will learn to love it too.Have you painted your nails a new color lately?

[Speaker 2] I actually did! Plum. It's a bit dark but I think it would make for a nice color for a wedding. My best friend is getting married in a few months.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a beautiful color for the wedding.  I'm sure it'll be a blast.  Let me know if you need anyone to watch the dogs if it's out of town! Maybe your dogs can teach mine a lesson or two.

[Speaker 2] That's so sweet! That would be a huge help. In exchange, you could send your puppies over, and I can see if I can work with them so they get a little more behaved.

[Speaker 1] I love that idea! Before you know it, we may be able to enjoy some hiking with all of you.  What a crew we will have.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like an amazing adventure. We could even come your way, have a little beach hike - that is, if Dexter ever decides to become friends with the water.

I like summer. I like warm weather.
I am afraid of heights.
I broke my arm skiing.

[Speaker 1] How is your dog doing? You mentioned her when we spoke the other day. Also do you have any upcoming ski trips? If so I would love to hear about them.

[Speaker 2] Oli is okay just took her to be groomed the other day she cant be better. I have a trip planned for Summer in the Alps, what about you?

[Speaker 1] No I will be home. I have to take care of Tom my cat. Are you taking Oli? Do you go on trips often?

[Speaker 2] Yeah ill be talking Oli its a nice time to get a whiff of fresh air. I plan them often, I heard of a deal where I can bring you and we share a bunk. I know you like summer but how's that?

[Speaker 1] Wow that sounds so good but let me think about it. Does Oli like going on trips?

[Speaker 2] Yeah she actually does, she enjoys the cold being a husky that is. Which plans do you have for your birthday?

[Speaker 1] I don't really celebrate my birthday. I might go out to eat but lets see. Were you scared to ski after your accident?

[Speaker 2] Yeah that was scary, occupational hazard I guess. And plus its my passion so I get to live it. You should plan and celebrate something over the summer

[Speaker 1] Yeah I am thinking of doing something. How did you get into skying?

[Speaker 2] My dad was a big fan of the sport he therefore influenced me from a very young age. Nowadays when I ski I feel as if its the one thing that is connecting me to him. Which sport do you like

[Speaker 1] I like basket ball. I play sometime with my friends. I would love to learn to sky but still haven't found the opportunity.

[Speaker 2] I love watching basketball. Just confirm if you will be free by the time I go on my next trip then you come along, okay?

I like cats. My hair is brown.

I need a job.

I can not affors to ski.

I have a cat named Tom.

I don't celebrate my birthday.

I like basketball.

I am a dog person.I have a dog named oli.

I am a ski racer. My hair is red.

I like summer. I like warm weather.

I am afraid of heights.

I like watching basketball.

[Speaker 1] Did you watch any basketball games?

[Speaker 2] I did. Watched the last fews Bulls games. They are pretty good this year. What about you? Watch any?

[Speaker 1] I have also been watching some of the Bulls games. I agree that they look quiet good. Haven't had a chance to look at all of the teams in the NBA but I have been paying a lot of attention to college basketball with March Madness on the horizon.

[Speaker 2] I don't follow college as much. My team from Illinois is doing pretty well this year right? Do you have a favorite team?

[Speaker 1] In college basketball? That is a tough question. There are so many teams in college basketball that it really makes it hard to pick a favorite. I've always been a Gonzaga fan but I can't say they are my favorite. I really just enjoy the sport of it when it comes to college basketball. As for Illinois, I think they are doing alright this year. They seem to have a solid team. Did you go to College there? Or, are you just loyal to the team based on the location?

[Speaker 2] I went to law school there and am from there as well. Right now I live in Columbus, so I like the buckeyes a little too.

[Speaker 1] I grew up near Columbus so I tend to be a buckeyes fan as well. More their football team then their basketball team but it seems like they are good at every sport they are in. I kind of miss living in that area, I'm out west these days. Could you believe that I actually miss the humidity? Out here it is so dry.

[Speaker 2] I can't imagine missing humidity. I once visited Arizona. It was so weird how hot it was during the day and how cold it got as soon as the sun went down.

[Speaker 1] I know right. The weather can be so weird out here. I went in to one of the mountain ranges yesterday and it went from sunny and warm to cold and snow within 5 minutes of driving. It felt like I was entering a whole new world.

[Speaker 2] A shame that ski-ing is to expensive. I bet there are some great places out that way.

[Speaker 1] I actually drove right past a ski resort. I keep thinking about renting some skis and doing a day of skiing up there but, as you know, I just really can't afford skiing right now. Do you still ski, even though you broke your arm skiing?

[Speaker 2] I don't think I'll ever lose the love for it. Injuries just part of the territory.

My hair is brown.

I need a job.

I like summer. My birthday is in summer. I don't celebrate my birthday.

I can not affors to ski.

I have a cat named Tom.

I like basketball. I watch Bulls basketball games and college basketball. I don't have a favorite college basketball team. I am a fan of Gonzaga, but they are not my favorite.

I grew up near Columbus. I am a Buckeyes fan, but prefer their football team. I live out west in  a dry environment. I have visited a mountain range.

I can drive. I can't afford skiing . I don't have a lot of money.

I am a ski racer. My hair is red.

I like summer. I like warm weather.

I am afraid of heights.

I enjoy skiing. I broke my arm skiing. My dad introduced me into skiing.

I like watching basketball.I watch Bulls basketball games. I don't watch or follow college basketball.

I am from Illinois. I went to Law School in Illinois. I like the Buckeyes. I live in Columbus.

I have been to Arizona.

[Speaker 1] When do you plan on going skiing next? I am curious about your future plans.

[Speaker 2] I don't know yet. It depends on when I can get away from the firm.

[Speaker 1] You should make sure to find time. Ski racing must be so much more fun than working the day job.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, but the day job pays for the ski vacations! They're very expensive!  Speaking of that: How's the job hunt?

[Speaker 1] I know what you mean, I wish I could afford to ski. Still looking for a job. I feel a bit lost on what I actually want to do, any advice?

[Speaker 2] What do you want to do? What do you love doing? Didn't you say you liked to drive? Maybe you should train to be a long-haul trucker. It pays well.

[Speaker 1] Well I love sports, mostly basketball. It would be great to work in the sport but I have no idea how to make that happen. I could never be an athlete but I don't think it is easy to get into coaching or management.

[Speaker 2] No, unfortunately it's not easy. But I'm not sure it's impossible either...

[Speaker 1] Maybe I could get a job at a stadium to start with. that way I can be around the sport but not jump straight into it. Maybe I could get you some discount tickets to some games!

[Speaker 2] Well, there you go! But have you considered getting a small job to tide you over and going back to school in athletics? You don't have to be an athlete to study athletics....

[Speaker 1] That would be a good idea. That way I go more into the management side of the sports. Thanks for the advice.

[Speaker 2] Not a problem. All you need to do now is make it happen! If I can help in any way, please let me know....


I paint organic scenes with pretty trees.

I live a lie.

I won a lottery 6 years ago but nobody knows.

I am a painter.

My wife hates me, she thinks I am lazy and poor.

I live with my boyfriend of 5 years.
I was born in london.
I live in vienna, austria now.
I work in it.
I paint in my free time.

I'm a painter of landscapes.

I feel like sometimes I'm just pretending.

I have tons of money.

I work hard at my job, but am more of a dauber than anything.

I'm unmotivated and not wealthy and my marriage is failing.

I am in a relationship.
I am originally from england.
I moved to europe.
I'm a software developer.
I use a brush and easel in my hobby.

[Speaker 1] I know this is upfront, but can you keep a secret?

[Speaker 2] Yes I can, but that depends on the secret.

[Speaker 1] I won the lottery few years back. Wife still thinks I'm poor!

[Speaker 2] Ha... Now that is funny. Let me ask do you still love her?

[Speaker 1] A little, I know she hates me though. Also thinks I'm lazy.

[Speaker 2] I've lived with my boyfriend for 5 yrs if he did that he would be gone.

[Speaker 1] Good for you! What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 2] I am an it tech, born in london and live in austria.

[Speaker 1] Wow! I bet the scenery is nice there! I can imagine the foliage!

[Speaker 2] Its amazing and such a joy to paint, I am an artist and love my brush.

[Speaker 1] Small world, me too! I mostly paint tree landscapes!

[Speaker 2] I try to paint anything that catches my eye and hold my interest.

I won the lottery a few years back. My wife doesn't know.

I love my wife a little. She thinks I'm lazy.

I am an artist. I paint mostly tree landscapes.

I have a boyfriend. I've lived with him for 5 years.

I am an ITs tech. I was Born in london and live in Austria.

I am an artist.

[Speaker 1] I painted a tree landscape yesterday that I'd love to show you.

[Speaker 2] I would love to see it. That's so cool!

[Speaker 1] I spent 3 hours outside painting the landscape view outside my home. I was hiding from my wife.

[Speaker 2] Have you ever talked to your wife about how you have a passion for art?

[Speaker 1] I have talked to her about it, but she doesn't seem to care. She thinks art is a dead-end street and won't go anywhere for me.

[Speaker 2] Well that stinks. You said you won the lottery, so you can't be hard up for money right?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I did. I've got the winnings put back in my savings account. It's why I've tried to pursue art. It's really hard to follow your passion when your significant other isn't supportive of it though.

[Speaker 2] I don't understand though...why isn't she supportive if it's a passion. If you didn't have money I'd get it, but you're still supporting your family.

[Speaker 1] You're asking the questions I've been trying to get the answers to since I started. Maybe she is still stuck in the head space that "art is for girls." Or maybe she thinks it's taking too much time away from here. I mean I did spend 3 hours straight outside painting.

[Speaker 2] Well maybe you can compromise with her. Maybe she is upset that you aren't spending enough time with her.

[Speaker 1] That's why I've tried including her in my art. Tried getting her interesting in it. So it isn't just me doing art. It would be US doing art.

[Speaker 2] Well hopefully she comes around over time I guess.

I won the lottery a few years back. I have enough money to pursue my art. My wife doesn't know.

I've lived with my boyfriend for 5 years.

I am an artist.

[Speaker 1] Last time we talked, I didn't ask anything about you. How is the world of IT?

[Speaker 2] It sure has been busy.  I've been helping a lot of people set up their offices at home for remote work and I'm always the first person to be called if there are any questions.  How is your latest art project coming along/

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah I bet you get lots of requests! Do you ever get any difficult people? The art is going well, I have a new piece that I've been working on for a while now in the studio I set up in my basement. I'd love some feedback on it actually. I can't really ask my wife about it,

[Speaker 2] I get difficult people ALL the time.  And sometimes it truly is just hard to explain things over the phone or email so people get frustrated and mad at me.  I'd love to give you feedback on your art, it is so much fun.  And yes, your wife I know doesn't care at all.  I wonder why!

[Speaker 1] Haha yeah I bet..is it mainly older people that struggle? Yeah she thinks I'm a lazy bum that doesn't work...little does she know that I'm loaded since I won the lottery haha - please don't tell her! I don't think things are going to work out with her unfortunately.

[Speaker 2] I can't quite put my finger on who is going to work well with me and who will not; not always the older people!!  That's too bad but you definitely need to be with someone that you can share your life...and money with1

[Speaker 1] I know, I really need to make a change. Maybe once my artwork picks up I can get noticed a little more. How is your art going?

[Speaker 2] It's been really nice and luckily my boyfriend seems very supportive that I take so much time outside of work to do art.  My art is inspired by my childhood in London.  I miss it so much there! Although there are some beautiful landscapes here in Austria.  You should visit, maybe we can find you a new lady!

[Speaker 1] That's fantastic your bf supports you. Yes I would love to visit! When is a good time of year to come?

[Speaker 2] Early spring would be a beautiful time.  I know its last minute but I'm sure you can afford a last minute ticket.  Plants are just starting to bloom, its perfect.

[Speaker 1] I'm down! Any chance I could stay with you?

[Speaker 2] Of course - we just converted our art studio to a guest bedroom, you'll love it.  Just don't invite your wife, haha!!

I won the lottery a few years back  and am loaded but I didn't tell my wife.. I have enough money to pursue my art. My wife doesn't know. I love my wife a little.

I am an artist. I like to paint landscapes. My wife doesn't care about my art. I tried to include my wife in my art. I have a new piece I've been working on for a while. I have a studio set up in my basement.

My wife thinks I'm a lazy bum who doesn't work. I don't think things will work out with my wife.

I need to make a change.

I'd like to visit Austria.

I work in IT. I've been helping people set up their remote work stations. I get called first if anyone has questions.

I get difficult people all the time at work. I have fun giving feedback on art.

I have a boyfriend for 5 years and he is supportive of my art. I am an artist. I am from London. My art is inspired by my childhood in London. I miss London. I live in Austria.

We converted our art studio into a guest bedroom.

[Speaker 1] I booked my ticket to Austria. I told my wife I had an art exhibit a couple hours away so she wont suspect a thing.

[Speaker 2] Does your wife never want to travel with you to see your art exhibit? There is no way I could keep that a secret from my boyfriend.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, she doesn't seem to be interested in what i do. So i have to just do everything by myself. Have you been to an art exhibit before?

[Speaker 2] I do like going to art exhibitions and interacting with the artists. I find it helps with my own art. Although I am yet to find the courage to display my own art.

[Speaker 1] Oh why not? What kind of art do you like to do?

[Speaker 2] I prefer art like sculptures instead of paintings. There is something about a 3d shape that connects more with the artist than a 2d painting. My boyfriend says my art if really good but I am not so sure.

[Speaker 1] Nice! In my opinion, there is no good art or bad art, as long as you can express yourself. Are you also interested in doing computer 3d arts?

[Speaker 2] Yes, that is what got me started since i work in IT. It was something I could do without a workshop and while I was having some quiet time at work. Why doesn't your wife like your art?

[Speaker 1] She is just not into art at all. She likes to cook though. Every time i talk to her about art, she got bored. I think we just don't share the same passion. You seem you have a good relationship with your boyfriend!

[Speaker 2] Yes, I am so grateful for his support. I would have given up a long time ago without it. What are your long term plans with your wife and lottery win? Are you going to hide it if you break up?

[Speaker 1] I am not sure at time point, we did go through a lot to this point.

[Speaker 2] Well just carry on enjoying with your art. I think a lot of couples live quite separate but are perfectly happy with it.

I like toyota cars.
I don't like working long hours.
I like to vote.

I've one cat.
I am short.

In the future I want to drive a large vehicle.

I excercise my right as a us citizen.

I take care of people.

I've dark eyes.
I'm fat.
I enjoy making things.
I just adopted a pet.
I am not tall.

[Speaker 1] Hey there, how are you?

[Speaker 2] Doing ok... Just trying to keep to my diet

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah diets are a hard thing to stick to

[Speaker 2] Well I gained wait when I quit smoking... And now I am doing sewing to quit eating

[Speaker 1] I work long hours and I hate it, I do not have time to eat

[Speaker 2] Least you get out of the house for work... I am a lonely cat lady all cooped up

[Speaker 1] Aww you should come work with me at the hospital

[Speaker 2] Short, fat, and unemployed! What comedian said that again?!?

[Speaker 1] Ha ha I do not know

[Speaker 2] And dull brown hair... How was I dealt such an unexciting hand to play?

[Speaker 1] I'm sure someone finds it exciting

[Speaker 2] Not even my cat... Tough being a cat lady when even your cat hates you

[Speaker 1] Aww why don't you get out of the house? You want to buy my car?

[Speaker 2] No job, no money, and no light anywhere in sight in my tunnel

I work at a hospital. I work a lot and I do not like it. I don't have time to eat.

I have a car for sale.

I am on diet.

I like to sew.

I am mostly indoors with my cats.

I sometimes listen to comedy.

I have bouts of self loathing.

[Speaker 1] I heard about a website that has a lot of jobs listed.

[Speaker 2] that could be good for you to search for a job of your interest. How old is your car which you want to sell

[Speaker 1] The car I am selling is a 2015 Toyota Camry, it still runs really well.  It was my mom's and has low mileage and was well maintained.  She is too old to drive now.  Are you interested in buying?

[Speaker 2] One of my friend is looking for one. I will let her know. I have Camry too. What work you do at hospital?

[Speaker 1] Good stuff, if your friend is interested, provide my contact info, I will accept a reasonable offer.  I am an ER nurse at the hospital.  It is stressful and sometimes depressing.

[Speaker 2] Sure I will do so. I can understand hospital jobs are really hectic. This stress and depression is just killing me. I want to come out of it, but don't know how

[Speaker 1] I suffered through a bout of depression a couple of years ago.  I found a lot of relief and help in going to a counselor who connected me with a good support group.  I am not a big fan of being medicated, so the counseling and support group worked really well for me.  Have you ever considered counseling?

[Speaker 2] I was thinking of considering and tried to call few. The services they are providing is expensive for me. I cannot afford. I don't have much friends and I spend most of the time with my cat indoor.

[Speaker 1] I get it, finding ways to pay for therapy is always challenging, sometimes community groups or religious organizations can offer options at low or no fees.  In the meantime, pets are a great way to help overcome depression, they offer unconditional love.  I have a dog and a cat and don't know what I would do without them.  What kind of cat do you have?

[Speaker 2] My cat helped me a lot before. Now I feel like He is bothering me. I found one counselor  at my church, she gave me few tips and after a month she moved to another place. It was really frustrating.

[Speaker 1] Cats can be finnicky, I am sure it is just a matter of time until your cat comes back around, they always do.  That was bad luck that the church counselor moved on.  A the hospital that I work at, there is a resource center with contact info for affordable options for counseling on various things. I can send you some info if you would like.

[Speaker 2] That would be a great help. I feel like I am becoming negative and skeptical day by day. I am not even eating healthy. hope you are eating healthy food, it's really important to avoid the stress.

I am an ER nurse at a hospital. I work a lot and I do not like it. I don't have time to eat. I am looking for a job.

I have a 2015 Toyota Camry. I am selling my car.

I have a dog.

I am on diet.

I like to sew.

I am mostly indoors with my cats.

I sometimes listen to comedy.

I have bouts of self loathing.

I have a female friend. I own a Toyota Camry.

I am stressed. I am depressed.

I cannot afford therapy. I do not have many friends. I have a cat.

I have a male cat. I am religious. I go to church.

[Speaker 1] Something crazy happened at work today!

[Speaker 2] Tell me all the details!

[Speaker 1] A bird flew into the ER! It was all flustered and didn't know what to do. It took the grounds crew over an hour to get the bird back outside. All of the patients were amused and laughing.

[Speaker 2] Hahahaha, oh man, that would have been crazy! I'm glad it gave the patients some joy, but the poor grounds crew!

[Speaker 1] I bet your cat would have caught it in less than the hour it took the grounds crew.

[Speaker 2] Oh for sure! He chases his toys around all day. What about your dog? They probably would have been an excellent team, your dog for the hunting and tracking part, and my cat for the pouncing and catching.

[Speaker 1] My dog pretends he's tough and a tracker, but he's truly lazy. The extent of his activity is chasing the sun spot around the house. He truly missed his calling, he should have been a cat. Maybe in the next life.

[Speaker 2] Lol, they would get along great, then. Maybe not as a bird catching duo, but just chill friends. Maybe we should plan a play date.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! Plus, it's going to be entertaining to watch them. I could use a good laugh these days.

[Speaker 2] Me too, free therapy! How has the job hunt been going?

[Speaker 1] It's going okay. It's so hard to find a good fit. My current job as an ER nurse keeps me so busy, I don't get to apply as often as I'd like. I really need to make the time to interview, so I can move on to the next chapter of my life.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any vacation days that you could use just for interviews? Maybe try to set up two or three for the same day?

I am an ER nurse at a hospital. I work a lot and I do not like it. I don't have time to eat. I am stressed. I was depressed. I went to therapy. I don't like medicine.

I am selling my 2015 Toyota Camry.

I have a boy dog. My dog is a tracker but he is lazy.

I am looking for a job but it is hard to find a good fit.

I am on diet.

I like to sew.

I am mostly indoors with my cats.

I sometimes listen to comedy.

I have bouts of self loathing.

I am broke and depressed. I am also a skeptic. I am stressed. I cannot afford therapy. I do not have many friends.

I have a male cat. He likes to chase his toys. I am religious. I go to church.

[Speaker 1] I found a job online that I applied for. I hope I get an interview.

[Speaker 2] Good luck with the application! Are you still staying with the medical industry or trying something completely new?

[Speaker 1] Something new, sort of. I'm going into medical sales. Lots of travel and good money.

[Speaker 2] That could be fun. Fits with your experience but should offer a nice change. I wish I could find something fun to do instead of sitting instead being depressed with my cats.

[Speaker 1] Well, you like animals, don't you? There are jobs available at animal clinics. You need to get out and do something with your life.

[Speaker 2] Yes I do like being around animals. That would be ideal for me, maybe it would help me forget about rubbish my life is. Do they pay well or not?

[Speaker 1] First of all, your life isn't rubbish. They won't pay well to start, but you'll be doing something you love, it will get you out of the house, and there's a good possibility of advancement.

[Speaker 2] That is true. I am just always worried about not having money. It is probably half the reason I am not happy. Do you think they would let you play with the animals? I like playing with my cat and his toys.

[Speaker 1] I think mainly you'll be taking care of the animals and assisting the vets. And you'll get vet care for your cats for free or at a reduced rate!

[Speaker 2] Really? That's amazing. I didn't think I would get benefits like that.

[Speaker 1] Ask around. I'm sure they're looking for quality workers, and I bet they're offering good benefits. You just need to start the process of looking.

[Speaker 2] Thanks, I will do. This has given me a drive to try and change my life. I will get started straight away.

[Speaker 2] Sure! I haven't eaten there in a while and I think you would love it. You have to try the macaroni and cheese there. It's to die for!

[Speaker 1] Thank you for you advise I was eating macaroni and cheese and my workplace before i started to work from home and those were nice there, in restaurant it should be very tasty. Which is your favourite ice-cream in Smack?

[Speaker 2] Well, I love the chocolate chip cookie dough. Will you be bringing your kids or dogs along to NYC?

[Speaker 1] They have trainings now before local tournament so they can't come with me. I will leave my little dog with my husband as she is very frustrated and nervous when we are taking her. How many dogs you have if any? I remember you told that you doing dog walker job.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I am a dog walker, and business is very lucrative for me right now. I have a two Shih Tzu dogs. One is named Lucy and the other is named Belle.

[Speaker 1] oh they as so sweet little lions, good companions probably for you after your friend move to Japan. Do you miss him or maybe you want to visit him in Japan?

[Speaker 2] You're right. They are super sweet dogs and I love coming home to them every day and cuddling while we watch TV and movies together. I really do miss my friend who moved to Japan. I've known him since grade school. We talk on the phone every Sunday, but I really want to go visit him. The only problem is that I'm so busy with work and I need to make money to make ends meet. I'm having trouble finding the time and money to take a plane to Japan. Anyway, how is your teaching job going?

[Speaker 1] I hope you will make it in nearest future. Maybe one day some opportunity will give you a job with good salary and more time off. As for me, well now in nowadays circumstances I have to teach from home and to be honest it's not easy. Hopefully soon we can go back as I really miss my cheerleading class.

[Speaker 2] Thanks. I hope I make it there, too. My aunt also teaches from home for part of the day, and it's tough for her, too. What subject do you teach aside from cheerleading?

I have kids who play soccer.

I love dogs. I have a small dog.

I am a grade school teacher. I work from home. I teach cheerleading in my spare time.

I like dessert. I am planning a trip to New York City.

I like eating out and shopping.

Smack is my favorite restaurant and it's near my house. I like mac and cheese. I like ice cream from different ice cream shops.

I love New York City.

I have two Shih Tzu dogs. My dog's names are Lucy and Belle.

I talk to my friend in Japan every Sunday. I need to work often. I cannot afford to fly to Japan.

[Speaker 1] I just started teaching in person again!

[Speaker 2] Fantastic, are the kids really tired being back at school?

[Speaker 1] They are! It is a big adjustment for all of us. How is dog walking going?

[Speaker 2] The dog walking is going well but there is a lot more competition now.

[Speaker 1] Oh really! Why is that you think? Are more people doing odd jobs?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, plus people have seen that it is a business that has low start up costs.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that makes sense. I am sure in NYC that is important! What is your favorite thing about living there?

[Speaker 2] Probably, the energy. I also like how easy it is to get around using the subway.

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, it is a hassle to have to drive places! We are planning a trip to NYC soon and I know I need to learn to use the subway.

[Speaker 2] I would recommend it. There are apps for it too. How long are you planning to stay?

[Speaker 1] Oh, I didn't know! That's a good tip. We are coming for two weeks, and the kids are so excited.

[Speaker 2] That sounds wonderful. It might be worth getting a weekly pass for the subway then. What are you planning to visit?

[Speaker 1] What else do you do for fun?

[Speaker 2] I play softball, what about you?

[Speaker 1] I love to walk. I go for walks every day. 2 miles at the least

[Speaker 2] That is a lot of walking, I sometimes help my father at his dry wall business

[Speaker 1] I hope he pays you well. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] Yes I've three horses and two dogs

[Speaker 1] I've two dogs too! What breeds?

[Speaker 2] They are pitbulls, really nice dogs

[Speaker 1] I've a pitbull too and also a chihuahua

[Speaker 2] My sister has a chihuahua, do you work?

[Speaker 1] Yes. It is a long drive though. Thank goodness I love my car

[Speaker 2] I work as a technician

I like to go see movies.

I love to walk. I walk at least 2 miles everyday.

I have one pitbull and one chihuahua.

I love my car. I work a long drive away.

I like history.

I like to see movies with my girlfriend.

I play softball.

My father has a drywall business I help with.

I have three horses and two pitbulls.

My sister has a chihuahua.

I work as a technician.

[Speaker 1] I had a buddy over who got drunk and put a hole in my wall yesterday. I remember that you mentioned your dad has drywall business and you help him out.  Do you think I could send you some pictures and you can tell me how badly my buddy messed it up and what it would cost to repair it?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely. I'm sure my dad could give you an estimate.

[Speaker 1] That would be great. I don't want my dogs making the hole any worse than it already is.

[Speaker 2] How big would you say the hole is? Is it over a foot?

[Speaker 1] I would say it's about 7 to 8 inches in daimeter.

[Speaker 2] It probably won't cost too much then. That's a fairly small hole.

[Speaker 1] That is reassuring at least. So how is work going these days?

[Speaker 2] It's going pretty well actually. A lot of technical work but I enjoy it.

[Speaker 1] That's good to hear. I'm still loving my job, though I wish I didn't have to drive so long to get there.

[Speaker 2] How long is your commute? Mine is only 15 minutes.

[Speaker 1] My commute is a little over an hour. The pay is worth it and I enjoy my job so it isn't that bad.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I wouldn't mind a longer commute to be honest. I like driving.

I like to go see movies.

I have one pitbull and one chihuahua.

I love my car. I work a long drive away but enjoy my job. My job pays well.

I like history.

I play softball.

I have three horses and two pitbulls.

My sister has a chihuahua.

I work as a technician.

My dad runs a drywall business.

I have a technical job I enjoy.

I have a short commute.

I like driving.

[Speaker 1] You had said you enjoy driving, what sort of car do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze, manual, 6 speed. I wish I had an exotic sports car, maybe someday. What do you drive? Hopefully, something nicer than mine.

[Speaker 1] I drive a rental right now. Recently someone hit my car and totaled it. I've been thinking of getting a Tesla since I work a long drive away. It looks like the saved cost in gas from travel might make the big purchase worth it. What kind of exotic sports car are you most interested in>

[Speaker 2] I'm so sorry to hear about your accident! Hopefully you are okay. Did it happen on your long commute into work? I'd like to get Lamborghini, one day.

[Speaker 1] It did happen on my commute into work. My boss was furious that I was late but understood after I told him what happened. Luckily, no one was hurt. Funny enough, it was a Lamborghini that hit me! The guy driving the car was completely at fault and I'm sure, even with the best of the best insurance, that he lost a lot of money after wrecking both his car and my car. He was driving so fast that he couldn't control his car on the patch of ice that he hit right before hitting me.

[Speaker 2] That must have been terrifying. My boss would have been mad at me as well. I wish they could understand things that are out of our control. What makes you want a Tesla?

[Speaker 1] I want a Tesla just because the cost of Gas compared to the cost of charging a Tesla makes it worth it. With how long my commute is, I think it will cut down on the cost of travel so much that the Tesla will pay for its self within about 10 years of driving! Its wild to think that it costs me so much to commute. Would your dad also have been furious with you if you were late to help him with his drywall business? My dad is so strict and doesn't tolerate being late. I feel like it would have been worse if I was going to meet my dad at a scheduled time.

[Speaker 2] My family prides themselves on how punctual they are. So yes, my Dad would have been sooo upset. Remember a few years ago when Tesla's were catching on fire, are you concerned about that?

[Speaker 1] I don't remember them catching on fire. That is wild. I'm not really concerned about that at all. All of the safety ratings I have seen have shown them to outperform their competitors. Additionally, the maintenance costs on Tesla cars is much lower then other cars as there isn't a need for excess parts outside of the occasional tire change. Also, the warranty on them is very good. Not to mention that I feel better about myself when my vehicle is helping decrease dependency on oil. You should really look in to one as a potential next car. Have you ever driven one? I test drove one the other day and they have as much power as an exotic sports car! You might end up wanting one over an exotic sports car after you try it.

[Speaker 2] I should totally look into it. I would love to support and buy something that decreases my footprint on the globe. I just had it in my head since I was a child that having an exotic sports car was how you knew you made it. I know that's old thinking. I love driving manual transmission, does it come in a standard?

[Speaker 1] I think they have a standard and automatic transmission option for all of their vehicles. I do know what you mean about an exotic sports car having a feeling of wealthy or "you made it" mentality. I think that has been translating to Tesla cars as well. I don't see it as much that way, since my goal is to get it for economic reasons.

[Speaker 2] I really need to be better about my personal finance. I make purchases without really needing it or thinking it through. Do you budget?

[Speaker 1] That is so chic. Ask me about my ideal woman hint hint

[Speaker 2] I also love plants and I draw a lot

[Speaker 1] You sure keep busy. Are you anything like cher in the movie clueless?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I try to keep busy all the time

[Speaker 1] Hi there, are you artistic?

[Speaker 2] In a sense, I guess. I write for a newspaper.

[Speaker 1] That is so cool, do you like cats?

[Speaker 2] More of a dog person. My dog, sleuth, is my only friend.

[Speaker 1] I called my cat charlie, he is my friend too.

[Speaker 2] Great cat name. I had a professor names charlie in college.

[Speaker 1] I draw him a lot, kind of an artist here.

[Speaker 2] My father was a butcher, so not much artistry in my blood.

[Speaker 1] I love pizza, did he make pepperoni?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes. He specialized in seasoned meats.

[Speaker 1] Do you like earrings? I just bought a pair.

[Speaker 2] I like them, but do not wear them myself. What type of metal?

[Speaker 1] Golden hoop earrings, I think you would love them.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes simple is more elegant. Have a favorite style?

I have a cat and he is my friend.
I like to draw.
I like pizza.
I wear earrings.

I am somewhat artistic. I am a writer for a newspaper.

I have attended college.

My dad was a butcher.

I do not wear earrings.

I enjoy simple styles.

[Speaker 1] My favorite style is anything gold. Do you have a favorite style?

[Speaker 2] I just like simple styles.  What do you usually draw?

[Speaker 1] I mainly use a style of realism, opting to draw beautiful, intricate landscapes and portraits of others. I'm hoping to sell some of my drawings and paintings soon to supplement my income.

[Speaker 2] That sounds very cool!  You can use that supplemental income to buy all the pizzas and earrings you want.

[Speaker 1] Hahaha yes that is true. I can only eat so many pizzas, though, but my appetite for earrings and fashion is insatiable!

[Speaker 2] Tell me more about your cat friend please.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for asking! I love talking about my cat! Her name is Liz and she is adorable! She loves snuggling with me on the couch while we watch movies together. How is your dog, Sleuth, doing?

[Speaker 2] He's getting old in age and not moving around so much anymore.  Did ever I tell you how he got his name?

[Speaker 1] How old is he? No, but please tell me how you got his name.

[Speaker 2] He's 15 now.  I adopted Sleuth from the shelter when he was 10, and the shelter told me that he used to be a drug sniffing dog.  So I thought the name would fit perfectly.

[Speaker 1] Wow, so that makes him about 105 years old in human years. That's a cool background story. Do you have any other dogs or just him?

[Speaker 2] It's just him for now.  I am planning on getting a puppy soon to keep Sleuth company before he passes away as well as for me as well to keep me occupied when the inevitable happens.

I have a cat named Liz and he is my friend.

I like to draw.

I like pizza.

I wear earrings.

I like gold.

I am an artist. I am not making enough off my art to support myself.

I have attended college.

My dad was a butcher.

I do not wear earrings.

I enjoy simple styles. I like simplicity.

I like dogs more than cats.  I have a dog named Sleuth. My dog is 15. I have had him for 5 years.

[Speaker 1] How is Sleuth doing? I know you said he was getting on in years.

[Speaker 2] Surprisingly well. I keep thinking he is going to slow down, but he still loves to run and play. Hopefully he sticks around a few more years. How is your cat?

[Speaker 1] He is doing great! I had a fun experience with him the other day when a friend came by. It is the reason I gave him his name!

[Speaker 2] That's good to hear :) What is the story behind his name?

[Speaker 1] Did I ever tell you his real, full name? Because if not, the story will surely make you laugh XD

[Speaker 2] Is Liz his full name? If not, then you haven't told me his full name. I'd love to hear it and the story.

[Speaker 1] Well, I always wanted to get a dog named 5 miles so I could tell people that I walk 5 miles daily. But when I got the kitten, I decided that he should have a great unique name. So I named him Lizard. Liz is for short, and when people come over and I call his name out, LIZARD, and he comes running, they are like what? I enjoy messing with people.

[Speaker 2] Haha! That is very creative. I would like seeing the face of your friends when you do that. have you ever used Liz to model any of your art?

[Speaker 1] I don't think anyone would want a painting of a fat lazy cat sitting in the sun lol. How is it going at the newspaper? Anything exciting to cover lately?

[Speaker 2] You never know :) The newspaper is always busy and there is always a new deadline. Sometimes it is hard to keep finding story ideas. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it, but even when I do find something I'm interested in I never have enough time to go as deeply as I'd want to on it before we have to move on to the next thing. Have you found any work to supplement your art?

[Speaker 1] I mean. It is really too embarrassing to talk about it. I am not really happy about what I am doing for money now. What beat do you have for the paper?  I always thought it would be interesting to get to like go take photos of fires and crashes and stuff.

[Speaker 2] I mainly do human interest stories. So like if you cat learned to paint or something that would be a great story for me. Covering breaking news is exciting, but you have to be on call at all hours of the day, so you don't really ever get away. Would you ever want to be profiled as a local artist? Might be good for your business and would get me a story to write.


I've high speed internet.

I saw a solar eclipse when I was 8 years old.

I simply walk around when I have nothing to do.

I got hired as a security guard.

I can beat anyone in chess.

I have none to share my thoughts about the books I read.

I ve found other pretty good blogs to share opinions with.

I started collaborating with some popular publishers.

I love to read.

I started a small blog lately to post reviews.

I've a great wifi system.

I watched a total eclipsed when I was young.

I sometimes go for a stroll outside.

I protect for a living.

I am really smart.

I do not have strong feelings about the story that I finished.

I am interested in the thoughts of others.

I'm now partnering with bloomsbury and simon shuster.

I like reading.

I share my feelings online.

[Speaker 1] Hey. How is it going tonight?

[Speaker 2] Not too bad. Just hanging out and reading. You?

[Speaker 1] Just chilling. Watching netflix. So what are you reading?

[Speaker 2] I am actually rereading 1984. You familiar? Anything good on netflix?

[Speaker 1] That's an interesting feeling? Do you ever feel like you are being watched?

[Speaker 2] I sure as hell hope not! Though there is not much incriminating stuff on my blog lol.

[Speaker 1] I want to get into blogging. Maybe some chess commentary.

[Speaker 2] No one here to share about books with so I blog. You big on chess. Never played.

[Speaker 1] I am pretty talented. I just got job. Do you work?

[Speaker 2] Actually just started a project with some other folks who publish blogs. What is the new job?

[Speaker 1] I've a few cons we can run. Nothing big though

[Speaker 2] Not picking up what you are putting down, friend.

[Speaker 1] Ever heard of a switch a roo?

[Speaker 2] Only through books and tv haha

[Speaker 1] It is also known a pig in a poke. Look it up.

[Speaker 2] I think maybe you watched oceans 11 a time or ten too many

I am talented at chess. I just got a job.

I have read 1984.

I have a blog.

I live alone. I have never played chess.

[Speaker 1] I just won a chess tournament!

[Speaker 2] Congrats! What type of tournament was that?

[Speaker 1] It was the Nationals and I came in as one of the youngest, I am so happy its a major achievement for me. I will be receiving the prize officially tomorrow at a ceremony in town

[Speaker 2] Well done! I glad for you. I wish I knew more about chess. Is it a cash prize?

[Speaker 1] Yeah its a cash prize and recognition on the National Championship plaque. Have you ever played chess?

[Speaker 2] No, I have never played it. How was the competition? Were you intimidated by your opppnents?

[Speaker 1] What! Maybe we can plan on a crash course, its very interesting you'll be yearning for more afterwards. It was intimidating because the opponents were well established players who I actually admire.

[Speaker 2] Cool! How much would you charge me for the course? What are the ways you can earn by knowing how to play chess?

[Speaker 1] I wouldn't charge anything just helping a friend out and maybe later you write a blog on me, but no pressure. Most players earn through competitions' prizes and sponsorship.

[Speaker 2] That's super nice. I am excited about the crash course. What materials do I need?

[Speaker 1] Just come by anytime I have all that I need, so you'll write that blog?

[Speaker 2] Of course. I would be happy to reciprocate. Is there any blog site on your mind?

I just got a job.

I am talented at chess.  I won a National Tournament. I am young compared to other competitors.

I have read 1984.

I have a blog.

[Speaker 1] Do you write on blogs very often? I have some ideas about what sites you could use.

[Speaker 2] As often as i can. Please share the ideas you have; I'm sure it will be very helpful.

[Speaker 1] Well later on I'll give you the email of my friend Lars, he knows all about blogging. He has like 10 of them he manages. He's an expert

[Speaker 2] Awesome; really appreciate that. How is the new job? What exactly do you do for the company?

[Speaker 1] Oh my new job! I manage a print media company, it's pretty awesome. The pay isn't excellent but the people love what they do and are imaginative

[Speaker 2] As long as you really love managing the company; i believe that's enough to motivate you and not really if the pay is excellent or not

[Speaker 1] That's true, that's what I love about it. If you love your job, you never work a day in your life haha So what do you do?

[Speaker 2] So full time I consult part time as a bookkeeper; thats why i have some time for some blogging

[Speaker 1] That's great! I should start a chess blog but I just like playing, opening my heart and soul about it would be hard to do I think

[Speaker 2] Starting a chess blog will be really cool; Have you played chess on the national level lately. I will like to learn how to play

[Speaker 1] Yeah I've won a few tournaments, it's been pretty awesome!

[Speaker 2] congratulations on that. I'm trying to see if I can learn how to play chess online

I am talented at chess. I think it would be hard to open up to blog about it. I have won a few national chess tournaments. I am young compared to other competitors. I won money and recognition playing chess.

I have a friend named Lars who is a blogging expert.

I have a new job managing a print media company. It doesn't pay well but the people are passionate and imaginative.

I have read 1984.

I have a blog. I have just started a project with some other bloggers. I often write on blogs and am looking for ideas.

I am a part time bookkeeper and do blogging on the side.

I'm trying to learn to play chess online.

[Speaker 1] I'm trying to write a piece about being so young in chess tournaments, but it feels so awkward to make it personal!

[Speaker 2] I would just be honest. Share you personal experiences, and I know that people will be engaged.

[Speaker 1] Since you are just starting to play chess, what do you think I could share to get people interested?

[Speaker 2] I would recommend sharing your feelings when you first started playing. What were your strategies? How did you feel when you entered your first tournament. I'm sure they would love any advice from someone of your caliber.

[Speaker 1] That's great advice! I already feel less anxious about writing this piece! I appreciate getting advice from you as a blogger! Do you ever write about your online chess playing experience in your blog?

[Speaker 2] I have made a few entries about trying to learn. There is definitely a curve associated with it. It makes for an entertaining entry. How is your new job going?

[Speaker 1] I am really enjoying it. The hours and flexible and the people are really great to work with. It makes up for the low pay. I'd rather do something I'm passionate about than do something miserable and make a lot of money. Do you make money from your blog?

[Speaker 2] I do. I have some advertising revenue, and then every once in a while someone will reach out to me to promote something. It works pretty good. I enjoy the freedom it gives me. You could totally start one.

[Speaker 1] I wonder if anyone would be interested in an entire blog just about chess? I could give pointers to beginners and share more personal stuff about my experience too. What do you think?

[Speaker 2] I think that there is a market for everything. You could even reach out to some tournament organizers to see if they would like to promote their events on your blog. You would definitely be able to see some income from that.

[Speaker 1] Wow that is a really great idea! I would love to make more money doing something I'm doing anyway, you know? Do you want to do blogging full time or do you think you'll keep doing bookkeeping too?

[Speaker 2] I plan on doing both, as long as I make money with them. If I am able to ramp up the blogging, I will scale back the bookkeeping, but I like having my hand in different pots, so to speak.

[Speaker 2] We went to the beach several times and spent the whole day prior to Thanksgiving cooking. What are you knitting?

[Speaker 1] Was the beach enjoyable even in November? That's really lucky. It's too cold here to do much outside. I'm knitting a sweater for my sister.

[Speaker 2] It was! It has been especially sunny lately and it gives the kids tons of space to run around. That's lovely I hope your sister likes it. What else were you able to do over the break?

[Speaker 1] Yay! I miss the sun but I'm glad you and your family enjoyed it. I mostly just spent time with my family and ate a lot of food. Did you cook for Thanksgiving?

[Speaker 2] The kids and I made a day of it! We enjoy the traditional meals on Thanksgiving, like mashed potatoes and turkey. What do you like to eat for the holiday?

[Speaker 1] That sounds delicious. My favorite Thanksgiving food is actually the string bean casserole, the one with the fried onions on top. I think it's fun that I only eat that on one holiday. What's your favorite holiday?

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing. I've never tried string bean casserole before but i'll have to when I get the chance. I love halloween and getting the chance to dress up, what about you?

[Speaker 1] I recommend it for sure. Halloween is a lot of fun. I especially loved getting all the free candy as a kid. My favorite holiday of all time is Christmas though.
