I'm an only child.
My mother is a housemaid.
I like swimming.
I've traveled to europe and mexico.
I love spicy food.

I can beat anyone in chess.

I simply walk around when I have nothing to do.

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

I've high speed internet.

I wish I had a siblings.

I'm the child of a house cleaner.

I love going for a dip in the pool or the ocean.

I've been around the world.

I am really smart.

I sometimes go for a stroll outside.

I watched a total eclipsed when I was young.

I have a great wifi system.

[Speaker 1] Hi there! How are you?

[Speaker 2] I am pretty good. I've been bored all day so I've been walking around.

[Speaker 1] I am cooking some spice mexican food.

[Speaker 2] Ooh yummy. I love mexican cuisine!

[Speaker 1] Have you been to mexico? I've, also to europe.

[Speaker 2] Only australia. Actually saw a solar eclipse there last time I went

[Speaker 1] Cool! I'd love to swim in australia oceans.

[Speaker 2] It is gorgeous there. A lot of crazy bugs though

[Speaker 1] I don't have any siblings but I used to collect ladybugs with friends.

[Speaker 2] Haha that is cute! Any other hobbies?

[Speaker 1] Not really, I help a lot my mom when she's cleaning houses.

[Speaker 2] You should take up chess. I am great at it

[Speaker 1] Nice! But I will pass that.

[Speaker 2] Haha afraid I will beat you like I do everyone else?

I have been to Mexico and Europe.

I love to swim.

I don't have any siblings. I used to collect bugs.

My mother works as a house cleaner. I help my mother with her job.

I don't like chess.

I love Mexican food.

I haven't travelled to any countries other than Australia. I saw a solar eclipse in Australia.

I am good at chess.

[Speaker 1] I tried playing some chess online. I was awful. Do you have any tips?

[Speaker 2] Try to think a few steps ahead, and don't play too aggressively. I like to attack late. My main focus at first is getting pieces into the field of play, not necessarily on your opponent's side, just out in the middle where you'll have more options for capture and defense.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like good advice, how long have you been playing chess and do you prefer to play online or in person?

[Speaker 2] I started in school when I was around seven. I definitely enjoy playing in person more. I like the social aspect of it. Have you only played online?

[Speaker 1] I don't have anyone locally that I know who are into chess so I'm forced to play online.  I do like that I can get a match any time of day or night and matchmaking is usually pretty quick.  Have you ever played chess competitively?

[Speaker 2] Just as a kid in school. I mostly play with my brothers now when we visit.

[Speaker 1] I don't have any siblings, I've always thought it would be cool to have one.  How many brothers and sisters do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have two younger brothers. We fought all the time growing up, but we're close now.

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking about getting some Mexican food for lunch today, too bad it won't be nearly as good as the food I had when I was visiting Mexico.

[Speaker 2] It's definitely some of my favorite food. Did you enjoy visiting Mexico?

[Speaker 1] I spent a week visiting the Mayan temples and ruins.  It was really fun, you should think about taking a trip if you ever get the chance.  The people are nice and the food is fantastic.  It's also a lot closer than Australia.

[Speaker 2] I would love to go one day.

I have been to Mexico and Europe.

I love to swim.

I don't like chess. I play chess online.

I have visited Mexico. I have visited the Mayan temples and ruins.

I love Mexican food.

I live in Australia. I haven't travelled to overseas. I saw a solar eclipse in Australia.

I am good at chess.I started playing chess in school. enjoy playing chess in person more than online. I used to play chess competitively when I was in school.  I play chess with my brothers.

I have two brothers. I am close to my brothers. I used to be not close to my brothers. I go to visit my brothers.

[Speaker 1] The Mexican food I got turned out delicious.

[Speaker 2] Mexican food is my favorite!!! What did you order?

[Speaker 1] I forgot what it was called. I ordered a plate of rice and chicken covered in a cheesy sauce. It was better than my own cooking of Mexican food.

[Speaker 2] Haha, I can relate. I am not the best cook, but I do love eating out at restaurants! Was it the white sauce?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure. I don't have the receipt any more. Next time I visit Mexico, I should have someone teach me how to cook Mexican food better than I can cook it now.

[Speaker 2] Well apparently, the white sauce isn't from Mexico? It's actually a homegrown recipe from southeast Virginia.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I see. It's amazing how cultures interact and then incorporate each other's values. I wonder how much of what I saw in Mexico was the result of American influence. and how much of what I am so accustomed to is the result of Mexican influence.

[Speaker 2] It really is amazing! I haven't had the opportunity to visit Mexico or Texas but I have heard that there is a big difference between "Tex-Mex" and "Mexican" food. Do you plan to visit Mexico again?

[Speaker 1] Yes, for sure. Intermingling with other cultures is a way to expand the mind. I think I will order some more Mexican food tomorrow. I will do some research online to find Mexican foods I have not tried yet that I should try.

[Speaker 2] Let me know how it goes! I have a few restaurants here in my town that I really enjoy ordering from.

[Speaker 1] Maybe we can have dinner at one of them. I love going out to eat.

[Speaker 1] I'm okay. I just had knee surgery so trying to take it easy

[Speaker 2] Knees definitely are often a problem. I take a friend to get ultrasound every few months.

[Speaker 1] Oh that is cool! I hope it hurries and gets better so I can play basketball overseas lol

[Speaker 2] Does the knee problem interfere with your job or other important work you do?

[Speaker 2] I travel a good deal now, especially in the pacific.

[Speaker 1] Fun! I'm 7ft tall if that's interesting lol

[Speaker 2] That sure is interesting, and good for a basketball player certainly!

[Speaker 1] Only a basketball player if my knee heals lol. What branch were you in?

[Speaker 2] In the army, I was in vietnam for 2 years.

[Speaker 1] Well thank you for your service! We definitely stand for the flag here!

I have just had knee surgery.

I played basketball in college. I have just graduated from college.

I am 7 foot tall.

I stand for the flag out respect.

I am 66 years old.

[Speaker 1] My knee's acting up again, do you know any tricks from your friend about how to stop knee pain?

[Speaker 2] He says the ice can be helpful. What happened to your knee?

[Speaker 1] I fell pretty hard after going for a slam dunk. Ok thanks I'll be sure to ice it everyday.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! Did you win the game?

[Speaker 1] Yeah we won so I guess it was worth it haha. I need to heal soon because the NBA are looking for more centers.

[Speaker 2] That's great! Would you participate in the NBA draft?

[Speaker 1] Yep I'm a top 5 center in the NCAA so I'm sure I will be scouted if I can heal and play the rest of the season. Do you watch basketball?

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's so impressive. Not too much--I travel a lot though, and the NBA is very popular overseas. Are you able to walk?

[Speaker 1] They said I won't be able to walk for 3 weeks. After that I will be on crutches for another month and then I can start rehab,

[Speaker 2] Three weeks must feel like forever. Are you watching lots of tv to pass the time?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I'm watching a lot of shows on Netflix. It's really boring though and I just want to get back playing ball.

[Speaker 2] I definitely understand that. Have you ever been to the Pacific ocean?

I have just had knee surgery.

I play basketball.  I want to play basketball overseas. I want to go to the NBA draft.

I am 7 foot tall. I'll only be able to be a basketball player if my knee heals. I cannot currently walk.

I am 66 years old.

[Speaker 1] I iced my knee and it helped a lot!

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you are feeling better, it was a good call taking you to gat that knee ultrasound that time, otherwise you shouldn't known you had to get surgery. What did they told you about basketball practice?

[Speaker 1] It was a good call for sure! I have to stay away from Basketball for a while but hopefully it won't be too long! I need to focus on walking first. So are you planning any trips overseas?

[Speaker 2] Well let's hope you find a way to go back to playing so you can fulfill your goal of playing overseas! Yes i am, a want to take on a cruise trought the pacific islansd! It's always been my favorite destination for vacation

[Speaker 1] I really hope so! I am sure with your support that I can get there in no time! Oh wow, that sounds amazing! Have you taken many cruises before?

[Speaker 2] You know you can count with me, i'm eager to help! Remember I was on the medical field when I served in Vietnam, a rough couple of years if you ask me!

[Speaker 1] I can imagine it was a rough couple of years! You must have been so scared sometimes? Did you ever come close to death?

[Speaker 2] Not a single time, I guess I was very lucky back there! But I did help a lot of friends who did came close to that! I don't know what's more terrifying, that or watching the towers fall back in 9/11!

[Speaker 1] That is so lucky for sure! Watching 9/11 happen must have been so scary! So many people died that day and in the months after! Did you know anyone in the towers?

[Speaker 2] It definitely was, i was slepless for months! It was like watching a horrible disaster movie but instead it was just happening right on my south window! Where were you that day?

[Speaker 1] That must have been so horrendous! I was in school that day. I remember hearing about it from the teachers. I will never forget it. So many people were crying. What was it like in the months after living so close?

[Speaker 2] It was bad, really bad! Not even coming back from Vietnam was as hard as that! Fortunately none of the people I know where inside the biuldings that day!

I have just had knee surgery.

I was in school when 9/11 happened.

I take a friend to get an ultrasound on their knee every few months. I was in the medical field previously.

I am 66 years old.

I travel a lot overseas. I travel a good deal around the Pacific ocean. Planning to take a cruise through the pacific islands.

I am a military veteran.  I served in Vietnam for 2 years. I saw the World Trade Center buildings fall out of my south window. I was in viewing distance and saw 9/11 happening live out my window. I did not know anyone who died in 9/11.

I did not come close to death when serving in the military.

[Speaker 1] I saw that they were having an event for Vietnam vets happening next week.  Do you know about it?  They want to find some vets that can tell about their experiences in Vietnam.  You should do it.

[Speaker 2] I've heard of a few from some groups I belong to. A bunch of us are thinking of attending a couple. Do you have a timeline on your knee?

[Speaker 1] I think maybe a month, 2 months or so before it heals. Kind of depressing, the wait.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine. My friend gets pretty frustrated. Any suggestions for him?

[Speaker 1] I've tried mental visualization and various meditations, especially based on breathing. Worked wonderfully for getting me championship 3-pointers.

[Speaker 2] That's great. I'm sure the best of your glory days are still to come.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! I hope to get drafted to the Lakers or Spurs, but am also considering good European teams.

[Speaker 2] Those are some great teams. Are you familiar w/the European leagues? Could be good from a developmental standpoint.

[Speaker 1] I'm investingating my options; perhaps Barcelona.

[Speaker 2] Great city. Have you been to Europe before?

[Speaker 1] Once, to Paris on a student exchange

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun. What did you major in?


I read three books a week.

[Speaker 2] It was great! I just had a paint and wine night with some friends, it was so much fun!

[Speaker 1] That's awesome, I'd love to try a paint night sometime. Were you into amateur wrestling or professional wrestling?

[Speaker 2] Amateur, although I had always loved professional as well. Have you read any good books lately?

[Speaker 1] I recently read American Sniper by Chris Kyle. Some of the details are terrifying. I hope you don't have to be deployed any time soon.

[Speaker 2] I hope not either. It's always nice to have time at home, and being far away from my son is very hard.

[Speaker 1] What is your son's name? Does he play any sports? He must have so many friends at school.

[Speaker 2] Ashton, and he plays football and soccer! Sports are his favorite thing ever! I love watching all of his games.

[Speaker 1] That's a great name! It's good to hear he plays a few sports. It is very important to stay active and healthy, it helps grow confidence I've found.

[Speaker 2] Thats great! Where are you deploying to?  I just completed my second deployment a few months ago.

[Speaker 1] They're stationing me in Japan, I'm actually really excited. Have you ever been there? I heard the base there is beautiful, my dad took me there when I was little to visit.

[Speaker 2] I haven't been there but that sounds really fun!  You'll have an opportunity to expand your languages if you want.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! I don't leave until next month, we should get together before then! I'd love to go to one of your son's soccer games, it's so cute watching little kids kick the ball around. My son loves to watch him, so much so that his favorite word right now is ball!

[Speaker 2] Yes we absolutely need to.  My son has a game coming up this weekend.  Would you want to get together afterwards to watch wrestling or help me paint my spare bedroom?

[Speaker 1] Of course! I have time for both. Are we going to go to that same arena you took me to last time? The venue was crazy, I'm going to miss that when I move.

[Speaker 2] Yeah we could do that, it was a good time wasn't it.  There might be some wrestling in Japan! My son will want to hear about your adventures there.

[Speaker 1] I'll make sure I send lots of videos and postcards. My kids sure are going to miss your son. They talk about him all the time. Before I go, could I ask you for a favor? Would you mind making me a painting to hang up in our new place? It would be nice to have something that reminds us of home while we're away.

[Speaker 2] Yes I could do that, I enjoy painting whatever! when will you need it by?  I'll be sure to make it as nice as possible.

[Speaker 1] I don't deploy until late next month, so anytime before that would be great! Do you know if you're getting deployed to a new place anytime soon?

[Speaker 2] Okay i'll be sure to make sure its ready before you leave.  I'm not scheduled currently for any deployments yet. Hoping to make it to my 26th birthday before going again!


I do not believe in love.
I'm adopted.
I'm an only child.
I ride horses in my spare time.

I have horrible allergies.

I spend an hour getting ready in the morning.

I still love my cat despite all this.

I cannot stand clutter or dust.

When I shower my skin is nearly red from how hard I scrub.

I tend to be cold hearted when it comes to affection.

I do not know my real parents.

I've no siblings.

I like watching equestrian sports.

I sneeze in dusty places.

My friends say I take too long to put on my makeup before school.

I cannot stay mad at my pets.

I'm a neat freak.

I am a little ocd about my hygiene.

[Speaker 1] Hey whats going on? How are you

[Speaker 2] Org terrible, my horrible allergies been acting up...

[Speaker 1] Oh no that's awful. I love riding horses so I couldn't deal with allergies

[Speaker 2] Ahahah. My cat is aggravating it, but I love her too much to give her away...

[Speaker 1] I could never give my horse away. Being an only child, my horse is my companion

[Speaker 2] I could never ride horses... Dust really bothers me. Clutter too.

[Speaker 1] Yea, no allergies for me. Are you in a relationship?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, with my cat p. You?

[Speaker 1] No I'm not. I do not think love exists. I'm down for other stuff though

[Speaker 2] Lol harsh. No one can stand waiting an hour for me to get ready

[Speaker 1] I'd ; I'm also adopted. So I have no idea where my real parents are

[Speaker 2] Www... Its okay. Have you tried finding out who they are?

I love horse riding.

I have a horse. I am an only child.

I am adopted. I don't know my real parents.

I have a cat.

[Speaker 1] There are so many things was happened in past days. I found that who are my real parents are?. I am so excited to meet them.

[Speaker 2] What a huge piece of news! How did you find them?

[Speaker 1] It's been so exciting! I found them through an online group for adoptees looking for birth parents. I've been part of it for a while and was giving up hope of ever finding my birth parents.

[Speaker 2] Wow. I would love to hear about them. Do you have anything in common? What do they think of horses?

[Speaker 1] I have so much to learn about them. It's early days so I don't know too much at the moment. I'm so nervous as well as excited. What if we have nothing in common? I hope they are horse lovers but we'll see.

[Speaker 2] I totally understand the nerves -- it's just like meeting any new person! But the fact that they sought you out makes me feel optimistic about the connection... They must really want to meet you.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. It turns out they've been searching for me for a long time too so that's a good sign. I'm trying to figure out the best place to meet. I'm not sure whether it's best that they come to visit me or if I should go to visit them.

[Speaker 2] Is there somewhere convenient in between your home and theirs? I feel like it might be nice to have the first meeting on neutral ground, if that makes sense

[Speaker 1] Actually that's a great idea. Thank you! I'll start thinking about somewhere nice that's not too far from either of us. They actually don't live too far away, in a town I visit quite often.  It's so weird to think that I may have walked right past them at some point in my life.

[Speaker 2] Did you grow up in that same region? If so, it would be cool to imagine that you spent all these years living close to your biological parents... although it would also be wild if you moved to their area as an adult!

[Speaker 1] No, I grew up on the other side of the country and moved here after I graduated. It feels almost like it is meant to be and everything is aligning just the way it's supposed to.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a movie or something! Do you mind me asking what drew you to the area, since you didn't know about your parents at the time?

I love horse riding. I have a horse.

I am an only child. I am adopted.  I've found my birth parents.  I am excited and nervous. I am in an online group for adoped kids. My birth parents have been searching for me. I visit their town often.

I live on the other side of the country from where I grew up,  I graduated school.

I have a cat.

[Speaker 1] I met my birth parents!  I used your idea and found a place between us.  It was so cool

[Speaker 2] Really? Tell me how was to finally meet them? What did they thought about you? Are they nice?

[Speaker 1] It was great. They were so nice. They like horses too! I have a brother a few years younger than me.

[Speaker 2] I new you'll have something in common, they are your parents! I told you did not have to worry about anything! What does the online group thinks about meeting them now?

[Speaker 1] They are so happy for me. We met at a coffee shop. It felt fitting to meet there, so we could catch up over coffee. My brother wasn't there though, he couldn't make it. I guess he is a police officer.

[Speaker 2] Too bad he couldn't join you! Maybe on another time! I amigine you had so much to say, if it was me i'll probably talk only about my cat!

[Speaker 1] The conversation was made more comfortable by the fact that we both like horses. This is one of the greatest experiences of my life. I am special because I had the experience of meeting my parents for the first time after I became an adult.

[Speaker 2] Tou definetely are, and i could not be happier for you! I hope you can grow on them and have a great relationship with them and also your brother! You should find out a place where we can do some horse riding and go with them! Even I could come if that's ok

[Speaker 1] Yes, that's okay. As soon as you get over your allergies, though. They've already heard about how you gave me the idea to find them. I wonder if they like cats.

[Speaker 2] I felling a lot better already, the treatment i got was quite effective, i think in a couple of weeks i will be just fine! I hope they do, that way they man meet mine! He is more cute every day!

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a plan. Maybe my brother will be there too.

[Speaker 2] I'm Sure he will! Sorry if i write some nonsense from now and then, we have been talking for quite a while and my cat gets bored if i don't pay him anough attention! He even tries to get on top of my laptop

[Speaker 2] My moped is hot pink. But that's not my favorite color.

[Speaker 1] Oh? What is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] It is orange. I have my nails painted orange. They are long.

[Speaker 1] Orange reminds me of the earth in nevada. I miss it.

[Speaker 2] Are you from nevada? My band played there one time.

[Speaker 1] I grew up there! Maybe I saw you play?

[Speaker 2] Do you like rock music? That is what my band plays.

[Speaker 1] I love it! I used to charter bands back and forth in my private plane.

[Speaker 2] Wow! I'm afraid to fly. Little planes scare me!

[Speaker 1] I stopped after a bad accident. I moved to new mexico to start over.

[Speaker 2] That sounds terrifying! I bet new mexico is nice though!

[Speaker 1] The sunsets are beautiful this time of year.

[Speaker 2] I bet they are my favorite color orange!

I have not ridden a moped.

I grew up in nevada. I now live in new mexico.

I like rock music. I used to have a private plane.

I own a  hot pink moped.

My favorite color is orange. I paint my nails.

I am in a band. I like rock music.

I'm afraid to fly.

[Speaker 1] Does your band have any upcoming shows?

[Speaker 2] Yeah we have been having some success in getting our name out there. We even have a gig in Nevada! You can give me the authentic tour after the gig haha

[Speaker 1] I would love to know if that works out. It would be fun to go see a show. It's been awhile for me and I should venture out more. Do you sing in the band?

[Speaker 2] I do for most of our songs but occasionaly I play bass. Though to be honest I would rather avoid it as it ruins my nails! Do you not get back to Nevada very often then?

[Speaker 1] I have family in Carson City and I try to get back there every 3 months. You mentioned that you like to paint your nails, I never thought about how tough it is on them if you play bass. What color are they currently?

[Speaker 2] Orange of course! Never anything else! Not only is it the best colour I think it matches our bands image.

[Speaker 1] hahaha.... I should have thought of that. It's too bad your moped is not orange as well. But I think orange and hot pink go great together too!!  Since orange matches the image of your band, do you consider your band edgy?

I have not ridden a moped.

I grew up in Nevada. I have family in Carson City.  I now live in New Mexico.

I haven't seen too many shows recently.

I own a hot pink moped.

My favorite color is orange. I paint my nails orange.

I am in a band. I like rock music.

I'm afraid to fly. I'm going to be in Nevada.

I'm a singer. I also play bass.

[Speaker 1] How's your band doing? When will you be in Nevada?

[Speaker 2] Its doing well! We just finished a rock tour and are going to Nevada soon.

[Speaker 1] Let me know the exact dates when you have them, please. I was thinking of visiting my parents soon, and I'd love to be able to catch your show, too!

[Speaker 2] For sure I will.  I'll get you backstage tickets and your family if they want to come too.  I need to freshen up on my vocals as I'll be doing a solo then.

[Speaker 1] Oh how exciting!! I don't know if my parents would be up for a concert, but I know my sister will be down to go! Do you get nervous in front of crowds? I know I would!

[Speaker 2] Sure thing we can get her some tickets. Yes I do but thats a good thing, it means you care! Do you think we could plan a trip on your jet afterwards?

[Speaker 1] Sadly, I don't have it anymore. I'm back to flying commercial like a peasant, lol. When I moved to New Mexico, it was just too expensive to store it at the air field.

[Speaker 2] Ahhh, that's a bummer that plane was wicked cool. I bet, I couldn't afford a private plane just yet.  Although was hoping to overcome my fear of flying!

[Speaker 1] I wish we could have worked on that while I had the plane. A lot of people think they have a fear of flying when they actually have a fear of being in such close quarters with so many people. Private planes usually make people feel more at ease, even when they are scared to fly normally.

[Speaker 2] Yes I totally agree with that, I think for me its the turbulence.  If you decide to get another plane maybe think of painting it orange, that would be cool!

[Speaker 1] If I get one, we can brainstorm some design ideas! Maybe your band logo and I could fly you guys to your shows?

[Speaker 2] Lets do it!  That would be great advertisement for us, we could compensate you as well!

[Speaker 2] Nice, what kind of food do you like to eat?

[Speaker 2] I have one in first grade and my other one is only 3 years old.  They are both girls and quite a handful.  Do you have any kids?

[Speaker 1] I don't have kids, that's kind of why I can get away with having a pick up truck.  I'm not sure your legally allowed to store your kids in the truck bed.

[Speaker 2] LOL I think you're right.  My first grader is having a party at school today and I'm making brownies.  I don't really have a good recipe.  I wanted to make cookies, but they wanted brownies.  Any idea for recipes?

[Speaker 1] I like the really dense brownies, I know some are more like cake.  In stores I've seen where they've made a half brownie and half cookie treat, maybe you could try to find that recipe.

[Speaker 2] I haven't seen those.  I will check and see if I can find any recipes on it.  I was trying to find my grandmothers recipe, but haven't had any luck in finding it.

[Speaker 1] It's like a layer of brownie on the bottom, then the top layer is literally a giant chocolate chip cookie.  However, I'm sure your grandmother's recipe would taste the best.

[Speaker 2] I think I may have to call my mom and see if she has it.  But, once I'm the phone she wants to keep talking and talking.

[Speaker 1] That's when you tell her you have to go help your husband put out a fire.  What kind of volunteer activities do you like to do?

[Speaker 2] I volunteer at school at lot.  I'm also very involved in my church and I like to help out at the Senior Center.

[Speaker 1] That's very charitable of you and it sets a good example for your kids.  The most I do is help people move with my truck, I try to find any excuse to drive it to be honest.

[Speaker 2] That is a very nice thing to do,  I'm sure they appreciate the help.  So, I guess I need to call my mom and get started on baking the brownies.  I hope you have a good rest of the day.

I don't have a good brownie recipe. I haven't found my grandmothers recipe.

I volunteer at school at lot. I'm very involved in my church. I like to help out at the Senior Center.

[Speaker 1] Hey I was just driving past your daughter's school yesterday and thinking about those brownies and thinking, if ever make a truckload, I'll be happy to help you deliver in exchange for a few!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like an awesome plan! I really would like to try your brownies too!

[Speaker 1] I don't imagine they're as good as your grandmothers recipe! I'm be better at delivering them than making them. You're 3 year old could outbake me

[Speaker 2] I don't know about that, haha. But I think it would be really cool to deliver brownies for school and church functions.

[Speaker 1] I know. Is there a brownie delivery service yet. Find that recipe and we'll make a killing

[Speaker 2] I was thinking more about volunteering, but maybe doing it as a side business would be pretty cool.

[Speaker 1] You have a good heart. We could do both! How ae things at the church?

[Speaker 2] My church is doing really well. We're actually planning on collecting donations for the Senior Center soon and I'm helping to plan that.

[Speaker 1] Are you going to put on any events to help with donations? Happy to help out where i can

[Speaker 2] It's going to be more of an ongoing thing, so we're making posters and making sure we have good donation points.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like you're going to be very busy especially as you help at the senior centre. How do you do it all?

[Speaker 2] I plan a lot haha. My husband is also very helpful with our three-year-old.

[Speaker 2] I am not doing so good. I just feel I am not living up to peoples standards

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that. Are you a perfectionist?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure, I do not understand myself and my feelings

[Speaker 1] Do you have friends or family you can talk to?

[Speaker 2] They do not understand me either and my thoughts about being a different gener

[Speaker 1] Do you have any hobbies you enjoy? Anything that makes you happy?

[Speaker 2] My hobby is basically trying to work out who I'm attracted too, you?

[Speaker 1] I really like to read. Maybe you could find a book to help you?

[Speaker 2] Maybe! I'm afraid my parents might find it and reject me. Tell me about you

[Speaker 1] I just moved to a new state. Moving is a lot of work!

[Speaker 2] It is a lot of work! I am sure you are glad its over

[Speaker 1] Yup. Exciting, but sad. Moved away from my family farm I grew up on

[Speaker 2] Oh do you think you will miss it a lot?

[Speaker 1] Probably, but I am sure everything will work out okay

I grew up on a family farm.

[Speaker 1] I have finally finished unpacking from my move from a different state.

[Speaker 2] That is fantastic. Are you looking forward to getting out and about and exploring? Are you feeling stressed or are you okay?

[Speaker 1] A little nervous to be honest.  I'm glad I got this job opportunity but I don't know  anyone here!  There's a local farmers market nearby that I'll hit this weekend.  Did you talk to your parents about your thoughts?  Did they understand?

[Speaker 2] I have not spoken to my parents yet. I am very nervous about it. Do you think they will understand? What is the job opportunity that you have?

[Speaker 1] The new sales manager for a small start up.  I know I can do the job.  Now I have to figure out how to navigate the city.  Thank goodness for GPS!  I think they would understand.  If you're nervous talking to them, I can come with you to offer support.  Have you thought about going to a councelor?

[Speaker 2] That is great that you are starting to find your feet! You can do this, you are so right! That is a really kind offer, thank you. I have thought about going to a counselor but they can be quite expensive. Do you hve much experience with this type of thing?

[Speaker 1] Not really.  For me it's just offering support and help to my friends when they need it.  Sometimes all a person needs a little reassurance and love.  If you want we can role play the conversation so you can practice what you want to say?

[Speaker 2] I really like your stance on this. Okay that sounds great! Mom, dad I have something that I would like to tell you. Please can you sit down. I don't want you to be upset or judge me. I am having thoughts about becoming a different gender. How does that make you feel?

[Speaker 1] "We're a little confused.  When did you decide this?  Have you always felt this way?  Whatever you want though, we'll support you."

[Speaker 2] I have felt this way for a long time. Thank you so much for your support. That means so much to me and if you have any questions, please ask them and I will do my best to answer them. How was that?

[Speaker 1] I think that was perfect.  And remember, what ever the outcome, you know this is right for yourself and I'll be here for you.   You busy right now?  How about we meet up for some lunch?  You craving anything?

[Speaker 2] Thank you so much for all your help. I really needed this right now. I am actually quite hungry! Do you like Chinese food?!

[Speaker 1] Well I'm sure glad we got Chinese food together! This'll be first fortune cookie of the year.

[Speaker 2] I hope this year leads to some answers and happiness for me and a beautiful new beginning for you and your family.

[Speaker 1] I hope so too, I'm really trying to go into this year with a positive attitude. But it's really scary moving to a new place.

[Speaker 2] I have total faith in you! You are a lot stronger and braver than you think you are! Once you get settled in and become familiar with the place, you'll fit right in and feel like a local before you know it!

[Speaker 1] I hope so! I've never moved before and I'm just so confused with living in a new place. I'm glad you're here to help though.

[Speaker 2] Always! That's what friends are for! How is the job going? Are your co-workers nice?

[Speaker 1] So far they're nice. I've met them all and I like some but I just haven't spent too much time with everyone.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it takes times to form relationships, but you're an awesome person, you'll do fine! Maybe suggest going out for Chinese food after work one evening as a team building time.

[Speaker 1] That would be cool! And we do stuff like that sometimes.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! What are you reading lately? I'm looking for a good book to really get lost in.

[Speaker 1] I've really gotten into Nnedi Okorafor, her stories are really sort of about going to a new strange place. It's really resonating with me right now.

[Speaker 2] I'll have to check her out, thanks! My life always feels like a strange place these days.

[Speaker 2] That sounds nice.  What colors are you decorating with?

[Speaker 1] Well my favourite colour is blue. So I think I will make the walls like a dark blue for the bedroom walls. What colours did you use?

[Speaker 2] My bedroom is blue!  My kitchen is the room I'm proudest of.  It is all in red, with an apples theme.  My husband thinks it is too bright, but I love it.  It is my favorite room, but I love to cook!

[Speaker 1] Very nice. That's sounds super interesting. Well men and women definitely have different taste! I love cooking too... with the microwave.

[Speaker 2] I like the microwave too.  I really like baking cakes.  I'm the one who makes them for all our families birthdays.  Once I made a Micky Mouse cake.

[Speaker 1] I loved Micky Mouse as a kid. I enjoy making red velvet cake, its so good.

[Speaker 2] Yummy, that sounds good right now.  Maybe I should bake a cake for dinner tonight.  What are you going to do for dinner?

[Speaker 1] I've done some rearranging in my place, and it's starting to come together.

[Speaker 2] Have you finished all the decorating? Did you paint any of your rooms blue?

[Speaker 1] I didn't do any painting, just moved furniture around. I don't match your bedroom yet!

[Speaker 2] Haha ok, well if you want to paint it I have about two tins of blue leftover from my bedroom, you are welcome to it! Or even better, I could come by and help you paint!

[Speaker 1] Thanks! I might take you up on that! We could listen to music and get pizza after.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good! Or Mexican! I discovered this new Mexican place, and they deliver for free! And you could make one of your famous red velvet cakes for dessert!

[Speaker 1] Sounds wonderful. What's this restaurant called? I would love to make red velvet cake, I haven't baked for a whole month. Or maybe you could bake a cake too.

[Speaker 2] It's called El Paso, it just opened last week! How about we bake the cake together, like that I could learn your secret recipe! And we can paint while it's baking...

[Speaker 1] I'm going to check out the reviews online. You are full of so many good ideas! Let's do that. Are you free this Saturday?

[Speaker 2] Yes I'm off work this weekend so that suits me well. Should I bring anything (apart from the paint)?

[Speaker 1] Just the paint and I'll have the cake ingredients and music! See you then!

[Speaker 2] Okay that's lovely, see you then! I'll work on my appetite in the meanwhile!

[Speaker 2] Yeah! I've always wanted to teach and it is what I am best at.

[Speaker 1] Good for you! That's a good job to have.

[Speaker 2] I put on the early century station and tinker with cars. I get mad easily though.

[Speaker 1] It does take patience to work on automobiles and a lot of learning.

[Speaker 2] True. Other than working on cars, I love my old garage dog, tiny.

[Speaker 1] Do you like music? I like all kinds.

[Speaker 2] I like early century music. I listen to a lot, but hate most foods.

I am open to anything besides the hillbilly stuff.

I enjoy the cooler seasons.

[Speaker 1] Hi there. I'm an accountant. You?

[Speaker 2] I'm a librarian and love to read books in my spare time.

[Speaker 1] Reading is fun, I love leprechaun books. I believe in them.

[Speaker 2] I believe in them too. I wish I could travel the world and go to ireland.

[Speaker 1] My mom went nuts when I was 3 and abandoned me in ireland.

[Speaker 2] My mom is nutty too. But I enjoy spending time with her and my family.

[Speaker 1] I do not have a family. My dog rover is my best friend.

[Speaker 2] I have 2 dogs!

[Speaker 1] Nice! They're the best.

[Speaker 2] What genres of music do you like?

[Speaker 1] I love country. Especially tyler farr. Swoon.

[Speaker 2] I hate country. Sorry! I like alternative and rock.

[Speaker 1] Gasp! How could you not like country!? Even leprechauns like it.

[Speaker 2] Haha! I did go to a garth brooks concert once during summer.

I am an accountant.

I love leprechaun books. I believe in leprechauns.

I have lived in Ireland. My mother has mental health problems. I was abandoned as a toddler.

I do not have a family. I have a dog.

I love country music. I especially like Tyler Farr.

I am a librarian. I love to read books.

I would travel the world if I could. I believe in leprechauns. I would like to go to Ireland.

I have 2 dogs.

I dislike country music. I like alternative music and rock music. I went to a Garth Brooks concert one summer.

[Speaker 1] I took my dog to a country music festival.

[Speaker 2] I would love to go to a country music festival!

[Speaker 1] They are so relaxed and you actually have time to enjoy the music compared to other festivals. Have you changed your mind on not liking country music then.

[Speaker 2] I like trying new things and think it would be fun to attend. Especially if I could bring my dog.

[Speaker 1] I am quiet intrigued about the rock scene, c

[Speaker 2] It is different than country music that's for sure. What are your dogs names?

[Speaker 1] My dogs name is bonnie, 100% not influenced by country music haha! So where does your love for Ireland come from?

[Speaker 2] I have relatives that live in Ireland that have been to the US several times to visit. I just haven't had a chance to go visit them in Ireland yet.

[Speaker 1] Oh that makes sense then! It's not a bad place, lots of sights to see. Can be hard to understand them at times though, but I do love the accent. Make sure you wrap up warm its so cold in the winter there. If I wasnt looking after my mother most of the time I would visit there again as I also have family there.

[Speaker 2] I'm jealous that you have traveled so much. By the way, my dogs names are Pancake and Waffles. They are both pit mixes. What kind of dog is Bonnie?

[Speaker 1] I say Family, there more like friends but I consider them family. Oh wow that is a great set of names for them haha! I bet your get so many smiles on the streets when you call them! Did they get pancakes on Tuesday haha. Bonnie is a big fluffy German shepherd. He is so big I just love cuddling up to him of an evening. Are yours calm dogs? Some people think Pit's are trouble.

[Speaker 2] They are gentle giants. They wouldn't harm a fly. Pancake loves cuddling up on the couch with me even though she is 80 pounds. Waffles is protective, but wouldn't hurt a soul.

I am an accountant.

I do not have a family. I have a dog named Bonnie.

I have been to multiple festivals.

I have family there.

I am a librarian. I love to read books.

I have 2 pitfalls.

[Speaker 1] Have you and Bonnie binged anything good on Netflix recently?

[Speaker 2] I have been really busy this month because of St. Patrick's Day, so I haven't had much time for television. This is the ideal month to finally catch a leprechaun.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow I almost forgot about St. Patrick's Day. Are you going to be travelling to Ireland?

[Speaker 2] I've been seriously considering it. What better place to find a leprechaun than Ireland, right? Maybe you could recommend a good place to look if I go there?

[Speaker 1] Yes I could recommend some great bars. Apparently leprechauns like to hide out in them.

[Speaker 2] Oh nice! Would you consider coming to Ireland with me? It would be helpful to have someone with me that is familiar with the local culture.

[Speaker 1] Sure I would love to come! I don't really have many people I could go with so that would be great.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! My relatives there don't share our belief, so they would not be interested in the hunt. You can help me pick food to eat when we go out!

[Speaker 1] Yep we can find the best Irish stew restaurants. Do you like to cook? You can make it at home too.

[Speaker 2] I'm not great at cooking, but maybe I could learn some easy local recipes.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure you can find some Irish recipe books in your library. Do they carry cookbooks?

[Speaker 2] Oh, what a great idea! I will have to do that! Do you like to cook?

I am an accountant.

I have been to multiple festivals.

I have family there.

I am a librarian. I love to read books.

I would travel the world if I could. I believe in leprechauns. I don't have any relatives that believe in leprechauns.

I have 2 pitfalls.

I have never been to Ireland. I have relatives in Ireland. I am thinking of traveling to Ireland to catch a leprechaun. I would like someone to go with me to Ireland that knows local culture.

I have had a busy month and haven't been able to watch television.

I am not a good cook but can try basic recipes.

[Speaker 1] I got a new Irish cookbook called "The Complete Irish Pub Cookbook" and it has some great traditional recipes for beginners.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that sounds very interesting. I'll see if we have it at the library. I would like to try some of the simple, but traditional recipes.

[Speaker 1] The recipes are all great! Ireland has such a flavorful cuisine. I loved eating the foods there when I lived there

[Speaker 2] What were some of your favorites?

[Speaker 1] Hm, I'd have to say soda bread!

[Speaker 2] Never had it. I'll look forward to trying it when I get to Ireland. Are there any cool illustrations of "the little people" in the book?

[Speaker 1] None, although that would've been a great addition now that you mention it

[Speaker 2] I keep my eyes open for anything Leprechaun. Where would you suggest I visit  when I go to Ireland?

[Speaker 1] You have to visit Aasleagh Falls! It's a waterfall. Feels magical there, like one of the little guys will pop out at any time.

[Speaker 2] Wow! I bet its beautiful. Who knows, I may catch one lol.

[Speaker 1] only if you're lucky, they're hard to catch!

[Speaker 2] I hear they're really quick. Always running after the pot of gold.


I now live on the other side of the country.

I enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together.

I grew up milking cows every morning.

[Speaker 1] Do you know anything about farms

[Speaker 2] My family are the most important thing to me I love them

[Speaker 1] Do you have kids at home

[Speaker 2] I know that we like to play basketball on farms most of the time

[Speaker 1] How many kids do you have

[Speaker 2] Yes I have 2 kids, they are older since I am considered middle aged mom

[Speaker 1] What is middle aged these day

[Speaker 2] Do you have any kids at all?

[Speaker 1] I don't have any yet

[Speaker 2] Well I'm told 45 to 50. How old are you

[Speaker 1] I'm in the same bracket

[Speaker 2] You better get busy, running out of time

[Speaker 1] There is always adoption and technology is improving

[Speaker 2] This is very true, I am glad mine are all but grown though


I enjoy learning about other cultures.
I watch foreign movies and tv shows.
I m bored with my current lifestyle.
I wish I could speak another language.

I have never had candy in my life.

I am a professional skittles player.

In my free time, I watch anime and baseball.

I am known as the iron skittler in the skittles universe.

I like to travel to other countries.

I like to view flims from different countries.

I need to make a change.

I want to talk german.

I do not eat sugar.

I play around with candies a lot.

On evenings and weekends I enjoy televised sports and cartoons.

Taste the rainbow!.

[Speaker 1] Hello there how are we?

[Speaker 2] Good! Watching the baseball world series on my free time.

[Speaker 1] I'm more of a subtitle fanatic myself but sports overseas is serious business

[Speaker 2] Well, half of the mlb are from overseas!

[Speaker 1] Yes and that's why I love to try and learn new languages.,,

[Speaker 2] I'm trying to learn japanese, solely because I love anime

[Speaker 1] Otaku here and yes its where I started my love for the subtitle flicks

[Speaker 2] Oh, that is so cool! Ever heard of the sport, skittles?

[Speaker 1] No I've not what culture is that from?

[Speaker 2] It is a sport based out of england

[Speaker 1] I get bored easily and my lifestyle is boring at the moment hence always looking

[Speaker 2] I always feel like my life is mundane

[Speaker 1] I know hence I can't wait to travel abroad maybe australia I do not know yet

[Speaker 2] I think there or new zealand for sure

[Speaker 1] Yes their lifestyle is so different then here in the us

[Speaker 2] Our country is really going downhill. Very fast.

I love to learn new languages.

I identify as Otaku. I enjoy subtitle movies.

I am interested in traveling abroad. I would like to visit Australia.

I live in the United States of America.

I enjoy watching baseball.

I would like to visit New Zealand.

I live in the United States of America.

[Speaker 1] I have been researching some of the best places to visit in Australia recently.

[Speaker 2] Sounds interesting - and what did your research find? Where are the best places?

[Speaker 1] Sydney seems to have a lot of attractions that are fairly close together.  And some nice beaches.  So I think that's where I'm heading.  How are the language classes coming along?  Is it easier to write it or speak it?

[Speaker 2] I've never been to Sydney but I would love to go. There and New Zealand are top of my travel list. Do you know when you'll go to Sydney? Have you saved enough money for the trip yet? The classes are alright, it's SO much easier to speak, I'm hoping writing follows fairly soon.

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking this Summer if I can get time off of work.  That will give me a little more time to save up.  I think another $1k will do the trick.  I saw a documentary on Japanese writing.  It looks so complicated.  Good luck!!  Do you think you'll go to New Zealand on vacation this year?

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good plan. Where is it you work again? Are they likely to give you the time off? It's hard work and tricky to learn but I'm getting there slowly. I'm not in a rush to learn which makes it easier for me. I'm hoping to be able to go to New Zealand, like you it will just come down to how busy things are at work.

[Speaker 1] I work in a local bank in town.  They'll give me the time off no problem.  It's just that the other person who's in the same position will be going on maternity leave so we need to discuss scheduling first.  How did your team do last week?  I got caught up in the new Lupin tv show and forgot to watch the game

[Speaker 2] Thats fab that they are really accommodating, my work is much less relaxed with holiday leave. Scheduling is important, things need to flow while you are away. Yeah good, we won the game so pretty chuffed! I haven't seen Lupin, do you recommend it?

[Speaker 1] Go team!  Maybe your team will make it into the playoffs this year.  It's an entertaining show.  But I have to watch each episode twice!  I play it in French so I can brush up on my skills and put the subtitles in English.  Conversational French is harder than the classroom!  Sorry to hear about your office.  Where do you work?

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome, and the first time we've managed to get into the playoffs. Even thinking about it makes me excited. That's such a good idea, I might try watching it in Japanese, good tip! Absolutely, I find real conversation is very fast in comparison to the classroom. I work in an Architects office, and we've been very busy recently so taking time off isn't really an option.

[Speaker 1] That's a fantastic job.  I would have loved to major in it but I'm not that imaginative with design.  How did you get started in the field?  Did you like drawing as kid?

[Speaker 2] It's creative than you might think! Lots of budgeting, forms and admin. I have been working there for around 10 years, I always loved art but was hopeless at almost everything else at school. So it seemed like the natural profession to go into.

I love to learn new languages.

I am interested in traveling abroad. I live in the US.

I want to visit Australia. I have researched things to do in Sydney. I am saving up for a trip.

I work at a bank. My coworker is pregnant.

I watch the show Lupin. I know French.

I enjoy watching baseball.

I would like to visit New Zealand. I live in the US.

[Speaker 1] How is learning another language going?

[Speaker 2] It is proving to be extremely difficult! Japanese is such a unique language. Do you have any tips or advice on how to learn a new language?

[Speaker 1] Yes it is, i have a little knowledge of Japanese; whenever you want i can help you to solve some doubts! You know learning a new language is one of my main interest! I'm currently trying to learn German, I think I'm doing well!

[Speaker 2] German was one of the languages I was considering on trying to learn. I jsut figured that since I enjoy watchinganime, Japanese was the best one for me to learn. Why are you trying to learn German?

[Speaker 1] Is not an easy one either! But i'm learning quite fast! One of my coworkers at the bank is from Germany, that was the main incentive apart from just wanting to expand my knowledge!

[Speaker 2] Oh that's so cool, is the pregnant coworker that is from Germany?

[Speaker 1] Exactly her, she is so kind but her English is not that good! She is not adapting quite well! What about your job? What project are you currently working on?

[Speaker 2] Well hey maybe you can teach her some English in exchange for some German lessons! Currently at work I am helping design a skyscraper in New York. For the first time in 10 years I am able to help design the building!

I love to learn new languages.

I watch the show Lupin. I know French.

I do not know much Japanese. I am learning German. I decided to learn German because I have a coworker from Germany and because I want to expand my knowledge.

I enjoy watching baseball.

I am trying to learn Japanese. I enjoy anime. I considered learning German. I decided to learn Japanese because I like watching anime.

I work for an Architect. I've been at my job 10 years. I am helping design a skyscraper in New York. I have not designed a building in 10 years.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite anime? The only anime I am familiar with is Pokemon!

[Speaker 2] Demon Slayer is my favorite anime at the moment, but there's many others I like a whole lot for instance One Punch Man, One Piece, Naruto, Goblin Slayer. I could go on and on about my favorite anime because it probably changes weekly, haha.

[Speaker 1] Wow, you're really into it. Some of my friends tried to get me into Pokemon cards, but I wasn't interested. Animated movies I like include The Incredibles and The Simpsons movie.

[Speaker 2] Lupin is a good anime that you like, It's very old but it's a classic. I liked Pokemon cards when I was in 4th grade that was probably around 2000 though right when it first become popular in America. You know Pokemon cards are actually really popular again all of a sudden it's quite peculiar they've made a come back.

[Speaker 1] When you learn Japanese, maybe you can get work making subtitles for Japanese shows and movies. I know a girl that wanted to become an anime cartoon artist. I have not talked to her in years. I wonder if she is making progress on her goal.

[Speaker 2] Oh doing subtitles, that's an absolutely wonderful idea! My other idea was to teach English to Japanese kids on the side through zoom style meetings. I work for an Architect currently I make good money but I think tutoring Japanese kids would be fulfilling plus it'll add some cash to my pocket.

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea. So many people are coming here from other countries, so that kind of work is probably in high demand. Ten years ago, I never saw as many foreign people as I do now. A new Indian restaurant opened up about a block from me that I want to try visiting one day.

[Speaker 2] I've never had Indian food, the thought of curry though makes me want to vomit. Growing up I had a few friends who were Indian who lived in my neighborhood and every time I'd go to their house the it smelled of curry so bad I always had to leave early because it made me feel sick. I guess it could just be the style of curry though that made me feel that way. Every ones taste buds are different though right?

[Speaker 1] Maybe one day you will find out exactly what it was. The first time I tried some Indian food was when my friend gave me a samosa. I loved it. Are anyone in your family immigrants? My great great grandfather is 75% British.

[Speaker 2] My uncle is married to a Vietnamese lady, she's one of the nicest people I've ever met and her family is huge!  They're all absolutely wonderful people. Sadly though I don't like Vietnamese food either. I'm pretty basic I guess when it comes to food. I like stuff like French fries and hamburgers, lol nothing too exotic for me. You'd be seeing a rare sight to see me even eat fish.

[Speaker 1] When I learn German, I want to ask my coworker about her life story. I took a French class in high school, but I didn't pay attention in class and didn't learn any French.

[Speaker 2] German is interesting, and that would be neat to hear her life story. I had friends in high school who also learned French but I took a couple of classes of German as well. Wasn't any good at speaking it but it was interesting.

[Speaker 1] I live cali what about you

[Speaker 2] Seattle. I work with the public relations department here for the state

[Speaker 1] Ugh I like my job but my commute is the worst

[Speaker 2] Oh no. How bad is your commute?

[Speaker 1] Its an hour but the slow traffic makes it worse

[Speaker 2] Oh I bet. I live walking distance to my office. Lol so not bad at all

I am not good at cooking. I still eat eggs, even though I'm Vegan.

I am technically an ovo vegetarian.

I live in California.

I commute to work.

I am a Vegan.

I was raised a Buddhist.

I live in Seattle, and work for the state PR department.

I live near my office.

[Speaker 1] I just went to  Buddhist retreat the other day, have you ever been to one???

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah. I've done 2 10 day silent retreats. How has work been going?

[Speaker 1] Wow that seems like a lot of work but also quite relaxing. Yeah it's been good, construction is hard but I find it quite rewarding.

[Speaker 2] Well it takes more effort to make something then to destroy something.

[Speaker 1] That is very true. How has your week been? what did you get up to?

[Speaker 2] It was a long week at work so I'm looking for something fun to do. Maybe a day hike or something.

[Speaker 1] I remember I once hiked half way up Everest but I couldn't go any further. It seemed way too dangerous. Especially without oxygen.

[Speaker 2] But still halfway is super impressive. I was just thinking about 20 25 miles outside of the city.

[Speaker 1] That still sounds like a lot of fun, its nice to get out into the countryside. My parents have a farm in the countryside and its very peaceful.

[Speaker 2] Yeah especially since Seattle is close to awesome forests it can be very relaxing. Or I could go to the beach.

[Speaker 1] I've never been to Seattle. Maybe I will visit there when I travel next. The beaches here in California are nice but some people litter a lot which i hate.

[Speaker 2] The beaches here are a little bit colder but super fun in the summer time. I recommend it.

I am technically an ovo vegetarian.

I live in California. I commute to work.

I went to a buddhist retreat.

I work in construction.

I hiked up Everest.

I am a Vegan.

I was raised a Buddhist.

I live in Seattle near my office, and work for the state PR department. I've been to two buddhist retreats.

[Speaker 1] How long have you lived in Seattle?

[Speaker 2] I have lived in Seattle for the past 8 years. I really like it and am glad I made the move out here.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome. Are you getting used to the weather there? I hear its really wet and cold

[Speaker 2] It is wet, but the sun shines more than I expected when I moved here. I also love the rain, it is comforting to me so I enjoy it. How is the weather where you live in California?

[Speaker 1] The weather is great, I love waking up to the sun everyday! It's always good weather to go for a nice hike.

[Speaker 2] That is true, have you done any new hikes lately?

[Speaker 1] Nothing major since Mt. Everest. It took a lot out of me so I'm just trying to take it easy as of lately. I've actually been thinking about going to another buddhist retreat to help me heal up and rest

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, that is great. I hope that you are able to get the rest you need! It sounds like a visit to your parents in the countryside would be relaxing too.

[Speaker 1] I've thought about that too. I think I might do that soon since I haven't seen them in a while. Anyway, how has work been?

[Speaker 2] Work has been very busy, there has been a lot come up in terms of politics and we are having to do a lot of interviews and field a lot of questions. How has work been for you?

[Speaker 1] Work's been okay, nothing too brutal which is good. Most of our work gets done in the morning so I don't have to do any labor in the sun for too long, which is nice

[Speaker 2] Oh that is nice, do you do more residential or commercial construction?

I am technically an ovo vegetarian.

I went to a buddhist retreat.

[Speaker 2] About five years, it was difficult at first because I had to cut out so many things I didn't realize had dairy in them, what about you? How long have you been a vegan?

[Speaker 1] I have only been eating vegan for a year.  Living in California and things being so expensive has served a challenge for me.

[Speaker 2] I bet, does California have a lot of vegan options when you go out to eat?

[Speaker 1] Yes there are quite a few options but restaurants are so expensive because of all the famous individuals eating healthy.. I really enjoy hiking in California the weather is usually always pleasant.
