[Speaker 2] Well I'm delightful today brian! I'm planning a hike

[Speaker 1] Nice. I wish I could hike at hogwarts! How cool would that be?

[Speaker 2] Sounds dangerous with all those death eaters! I did marketing for harry potter books for a bit

[Speaker 1] Seriously? That's awesome. I often draw hp in class instead of taking notes

[Speaker 2] I love fan art! What harry potter house would you belong to? Hufflepuff here!

[Speaker 1] Totally griffindore! Tho I bet I'd have to cut my long hair.

[Speaker 2] Haha I bet you would be okay. Only prob with hufflepuff no pink!

[Speaker 1] I bet there's a spell to turn things pink. Ooh, how about a pink lizard?

[Speaker 2] Hmm, sounds pretty cool. But not as cool as my pink hiking boots!

[Speaker 1] With heels? Spike heeled pink boots would be so cool!

[Speaker 2] Wouldn't be practical for the trails. Some bob dylan and hiking boots, all you need

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I bet your friends would laugh. My would too. All three of them

[Speaker 2] Laugh at what? Treasure your friends! Before they be blowing in the wind

[Speaker 1] Like a tornado? That would suck

[Speaker 2] No, like bob dylans song. Do you dig folk?

My name is Brian.

I like to draw instead of taking notes in class.

I'm in the Griffindore house of Harry Potter. I have long hair.

I have three friends.

I work in marketing. I worked on marketing for the Harry Potter books.

I like the color pink.

I like Bob Dylan.

[Speaker 1] I was listening to Bob Dylan this morning - so good!

[Speaker 2] I like Bob Dylan, too.  What song were you listening to?

[Speaker 1] Mr Tambourine Man. Some of the classics. What is your favorite Harry Potter book?

[Speaker 2] The first one.  Mr Tambourine man is my fave.  I didn't know you liked Dylan.

[Speaker 1] I love Bob Dylan. I don't know a lot of his rarer stuff but I like what I know! I like the second Harry Potter book most myself.

[Speaker 2] Yes, the second book is good too.  Ever been to a Dylan concert?  I have been to a few.

[Speaker 1] No, sadly not. I bet he's amazing live. When and where did you see him?

[Speaker 2] The last time was the Neverending Tour back in 2013.  You're right, he is amazing live.  You should try to go to one!

[Speaker 1] I will do! I'm not sure when he's touring next but I'll try to get tickets. Do you like to draw? I love drawing.

[Speaker 2] I love art, but I can't draw at all.  I did some work projects for some Potter books, but just the marketing side.

[Speaker 1] That's so cool! I'm not amazing at it but I still like to do it. I like drawing Harry Potter related stuff.

[Speaker 2] Awesome.  Keep working at it, you'll get better.  Maybe you could do an internship in an art department.

My name is Brian.

I'm in the Griffindore house of Harry Potter. The 2nd harry potter book is my favorite.  I have long hair.

I have three friends.

I enjoy Bob Dylan. I have never seen Bob Dylan in concert.

I like drawing harry potter.

I love fan art. I'm in the Hufflepuff house of Harry Potter. The first harry potter book was my favorite.

I like the color pink.

I like Bob Dylan. I have seen Bob Dylan in concert a few times.

I enjoy art. I cant draw.

[Speaker 1] I applied for an internship in art department like you said!

[Speaker 2] Nice! when will you hear back?

[Speaker 1] I believe I should hear something in about a week. They were going to check my references. I have been stoked about it. Anything new with you?

[Speaker 2] Brilliant, good luck! Not to much as you heard J K Rowling is not the public's faviourite person right now. My marketing firm is helping her PR people to try and improve her image. I love harry potter, but i really hate her and her opinions. I am not sure if i can work on this project. What should i do?

[Speaker 1] Yikes, that is a tough spot to be in. If you have the choice to work on something else that's what I would do. I myself don't like a lot of conflict  and try to stay in  my own lane so its whatever you think.

[Speaker 2] Yes i am at a cross roads, caught between my professional and personal views. It is not a fun situation. Any way enough of that. What about you how is class going?

[Speaker 1] I understand because I had a teacher who was super mean and bullied people but I didn't want to stand up to him because then I would be the target. I regret that when I think back to it. Dilemmas, what to do. Class is pretty good. I was sick for a couple days and had to miss though.

[Speaker 2] Yeah not fun times. Oof! are you recovered now was it anything serious?

[Speaker 1] I just had an ear infection and I get them a lot so I got some meds and are feeling better already. I am allergic to all sorts of things in the air, grass and trees so I am used to it. Do you have allergies?

[Speaker 2] I am glad it was nothing too bad. Yes unfortunately i have seasonal allergies so when the pollen is high i feel like my head is in bubble wrap its terrible

[Speaker 1] Exactly! I start sneezing and it turns into something from a Seinfeld episode. It almost seems like an act but its real! HA!

[Speaker 2] Omg! that is hilarious.

My name is Brian.

I like drawing harry potter. I applied for an art department internship.

I much like conflict. I am taking a class. I once had an abusive teacher. I missed some classes because I was sick. I get frequent ear infections. I am allergic to many things in the air including grass and trees. My allergies cause extreme sneezing.

I work in marketing firm. I worked on marketing for the Harry Potter books.

I like the color pink.

I enjoy art. I cant draw.

My marketing firm is helping the PR people of JK Rowling. I love Harry Potter. I hate JK Rowling and her opinions too.

I have seasonal allergies. I have problems during high pollen counts,.

[Speaker 1] I just got an email from my doctor about a new allergy medication I will forward to you to share with your doctor.

[Speaker 2] Oh great, thank you. I'm surprised my doctor hasn't alerted his patients yet. Allergies can be annoying, so anything that helps alleviate them is great.

[Speaker 1] You're more than welcome, I am glad I was able to help. Allergies can be a real a nuisance

[Speaker 2] Did you doctor say if it would be expensive or how effective it would be? I want to not have to worry about allergies when hiking.

[Speaker 1] The doctor said that i would be very expensive, but the price depends on the insurance you have. I think you have great insurance

[Speaker 2] Yes, the health insurance my job provides is good. It would be hell if I had no other choice but to work with Rowling while at the same time I couldn't afford the new allergy medicine.

[Speaker 1] I've got to say I think it is amazing that you are working with JK Rowling. How is that?

[Speaker 2] It was fun when it involved marketing for her books. However, I do not want to help her build her image. I hate her views, so it would be like torture for me.

[Speaker 1] Oh I totally get that, that didn't affect you at all when doing your marketing?

[Speaker 2] No, not at all. Hey, did your doctor say there were any side effects to that new allergy medication? I've been trying to be more conscious of how everything I put into my body affects me lately.

[Speaker 1] We didn't get into too much detail, but in the email I sent you he gave you his number so you can call if you have any questions

[Speaker 2] Great. Maybe your doctor and my doctor should exchange emails so they can send each other emails. Maybe at times my doctor knows something that your doctor doesn't know.


I am a free spirit.

I'm all about family and fun.

My parents were like this as well.

The idea of working is not my cup of tea.

[Speaker 2] Europe, I just hope somebody takes car of 3 cats

[Speaker 1] Get a cat sitter! If I lived near you, I'd sit your cats. I love kitties.

[Speaker 2] That is nice, I live in new mexico.

[Speaker 1] Too far. Too bad. My mom and dad used to live in drop city.

[Speaker 2] Speaking of parent I have to visit them soon, since I'm there only child

[Speaker 1] I am too, but we are hippies, so everyone is family.

[Speaker 2] Did you die your hair, like I did, my is blond

[Speaker 1] Oh, yeah. I love these colors right now fuschia, lime green, electric purple.

[Speaker 2] That is to, colorful for my taste

[Speaker 1] Oooo, I couldn't live without color. Life has to be fun!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, they're nice colors, and depend on what you like

[Speaker 1] So what are your hobbies?

[Speaker 2] I like to play sports and swim

I have nieces.

I love kitties.

My parents used to live in Drop City.

I am also the only child. My parents and I are hippies.

My hair is fuschia, lime green and eletric purple.

[Speaker 1] Did you find someone to care for your cats while on vacation?

[Speaker 2] I did! Thankfully I used a neighborhood app that allowed me to connect with a neighbor that's willing to take care of them. Do you have any cats?

[Speaker 1] I have a orange cat. He is sweet and spoiled. I have a dog also. Do you have any other pets?

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! Does your dog bother the cat at all? I only have the three cats and I don't think I'll get any more pets for a while because those three are quite the handful already! What about your parents, do they have pets?

[Speaker 1] My dog bullies my cat unfortunately. It is what it is. My parents have a husky. He is cute.

[Speaker 2] Oh! Nice! Huskies are beautiful with their blue eyes. My neighbor has one and he also howls a lot, but I love him so I don't mind it.

[Speaker 1] I want a husky lol. However, it would be too much of a  responsibility for me right now? Do you have kids?

[Speaker 2] Huskies shed a lot, so cleaning up all that hair must be time consuming. Yes,  I have 12 kids. I hated being an only child so I always wanted a large family. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I have two kids. One is 12 and the other is 6. I don't think I want any more. Lol.

[Speaker 2] That's nice though, at least they have each other to play and be entertained at home. Kids are hard but it is so nice to watch them grow, don't you think?

[Speaker 1] Yes, kids are amazing. I am glad that I have 2.

[Speaker 2] I am not going to have any more, but I always said that after my 4th child and now I have 12!

I have nieces.

I love kitties.

My parents used to live in Drop City.

I have a male orange cat. I have a dog. My dog bullies my cat.

I have two kids: aged 6 and 12.

I have 3 cats.
I live in New Mexico.
I am the only child.
My hair is blonde.
I like playing sports and swim.
I have 12 children.

[Speaker 1] How are all of your kids doing with school? Are they doing online learning or in-person?

[Speaker 2] Ugh yes they ALL are doing online classes, it's a challenge splitting up the computer time. How about yours?

[Speaker 1] My youngest is doing online schooling and my oldest is in the classroom. I'm extremely grateful for this arrangement. I can handle teaching my baby first grade. I couldn't handle trying to teach my stubborn preteen.

[Speaker 2] Yes that would be frustrating. When I need to take a break I head to the pool and swim some laps.

[Speaker 1] I wish I had a pool. Our house is so small, when I need a break, I hide in a closet.

[Speaker 2] Whatever works! Does your cat join you in the closet? I can't ever escape mine!

[Speaker 1] No. My cat belongs to the baby. It follows her everywhere. It's so cute. I actually had the teacher contact me and ask me to keep the cat out of the “classroom”. Now, she sits by the door and scratches constantly.

[Speaker 2] That's so funny. Are the cat and dog getting along any better? It would make me sad to see my pets not getting along with each other.

[Speaker 1] They are. Well if you take into consideration that the dog is always outside and the cat stays inside. But my preteen sneaks the dog into bed at night. I have tried to stop this but in secret, I find it cute and don't mind as long as the door is shut and cat is in there too.

[Speaker 2] That is pretty cute. I have to be careful not to let my cat's outside, the scorpions here might sting them. New Mexico offers some interesting challenges!

[Speaker 1] Oh my god, scorpions! I would be terrified to let my kids out of the house let alone the animals. How do you deal with that? Have you ever been sting?

[Speaker 2] They are creepy little things! They aren't really dangerous to humans, just kind of feels like a bee sting. But to a small animal they can be dangerous. We spray bug killer around the exterior of the house to deter them.


Paps likes to go mushroom hunting.
I have a brown belt in karate.
Grandma makes jewelry.
I live with my paps and grandma.

I was born premature.

I've one older sister named mary.

My dad is journalist for the new york times.

I live in texas.

I'm good at video games.
I'm pretty athletic.
My family is creative.
I live with too many men.

I came out of my mother early.

I have a female sibling with a very common name.

My old man is a reporter.

I recently moved to the south.

[Speaker 1] Hello! How are you doing tonight?

[Speaker 2] Great! Just enjoying the nice texas weather. You?

[Speaker 1] You were not in that hurricane were you? Just sitting outside grandparents house.

[Speaker 2] My sister mary and I evacuated but we are back home now

[Speaker 1] Good! Glad you all are safe. So whats your hobbies now?

[Speaker 2] I write. My dad is journalism so I guess it runs in the family

[Speaker 1] Oh great. I like mushroom hunting like my papaw does.

[Speaker 2] Special mushrooms? Haha. Interesting family hobby

[Speaker 1] I wish. Although I think my grandparents enjoyed the 70s free love a lot.

[Speaker 2] Haha what a time to live.. Would have loved to experience that

[Speaker 1] I hear there stories. Ever since I was little. They raised me.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? I was premature but my parents did the raising

I like mushroom hunting.

My grandparents were alive in the 1970s.

I was raised by my grandparents.

I am in Texas.

I write. My dad is a journalist.

I was born after the 1970s.

I was a premature baby. I was raised by my parents.

[Speaker 1] I was out hiking yesterday, and I found some interesting mushrooms!

[Speaker 2] That's amazing.  I don't know how you keep track of the good ones from the poisonous one.   How did you even learn to do that?

[Speaker 1] I have a book that specifies all the different kinds of mushrooms. Plus my husband actually has a pHD in mushroom hunting so if I have any questions I always ask him. I learned from my best friend who actually introduced me to my husband!

[Speaker 2] sounds like you have things covered then.  How long have you been married?

[Speaker 1] We have been married for 15  years now! Mushroom hunting is one of our favorite hobbies. Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 2] Congrats on 15 years.  My parents just hit their 20th.  I like to read.  I'll read anything I put my hands on.  Usually my sister and I swap books.  Saves us a little money that way.  Do you read?

[Speaker 1] I read a lot! I actually have an app on my phone that lets me check out e-books from my local library. I stopped paying for books a long time ago because I also love to read and it was getting quite expensive. My neighborhood also has a free little library where folks can take and leave books! It's so nice!

[Speaker 2] That sounds really nice.  I know it would be cheaper to have ebooks but there's something about holding a real book in your hands.  I don't get to the library that often.  It's 20miles into town.  Not something I want to drive all the time.  How are your grandparents doing?

[Speaker 1] That makes sense! My grandmother is still alive but my grandpa passed last year. He was 100! Lived a long life.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry to hear that.  I'm sure your grandma misses him a lot.  I'm almost finished my book.  Got any recommendations?

[Speaker 1] She does, but she knows it was his time to go. I recommend Tuesdays With Morrie. Pretty sad but so good!

[Speaker 2] I'm up for a tear jerker.  I just got done with a stuffy bio.  I'm ready to hop to a different genre.  Thanks!  So does your grandma live with you now?

I like mushroom hunting.

My grandfather passed away last year at 100 years old.

I was raised by my grandparents.

I learned to hunt mushrooms through a book and my friend. My friend introduced me to my husband.

I have been married for 15 years.

I am in Texas.

I write. My dad is a journalist.

I was born a premature baby after the 1970s.  I was raised by my parents. My parents have been married for 20 years. I like to read. I swap books with my sister.

I'm 20 miles from town.

[Speaker 1] How is the writing coming along? Have you read the book I recommended to you?

[Speaker 2] I haven't yet! I have been reading "Cutting for Stone." What was the name of the book you recommended? Sorry, I forgot.

[Speaker 1] What's that about? It sounds interesting. Is it non-fiction? The book I recommended was "The Glass Hotel". It's great!

[Speaker 2] It's about a boy in Ethiopia who grows up to be a doctor along with his twin brother. It is very captivating. I will have to see if I can order "The Glass Hotel" from amazon. I still like the paper copy better than an ebook.

[Speaker 1] That sounds excellent! I wonder if I would like it. I am addicted to ebooks lately! Did your sister give you that book? I used to be all paper. I love reading on my phone.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, she did! She read it first! She likes the ebooks too, but I just can't see the words very well. My phone is too small!

[Speaker 1] Oh, yeah that can be an issue. You can change the font size if you want to try it! What book did you give your sister to read?

[Speaker 2] Really? I didn't know that! I will have to try it. I gave her a Nicholas Sparks book, "Dear John." Have you heard of it?

[Speaker 1] I haven't. I've never read any Nicholas Sparks books. Do you think I should try one?

[Speaker 2] Well that all depends on if you like romance novels or not. Some people prefer to just watch the movie. Did you know he wrote "The Notebook" too?

[Speaker 1] I am not too into romance, but I haven't tried many to be fair. I had no idea!! Have many of his books been made into movies?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I know it's at least 2 or 3! Have you ever watched "The Notebook"?

I like mushroom hunting.

I was raised by my grandparents.

I have been married for 15 years.

I check out e-books on my phone. My neighborhood has a free library. I like the book Tuesdays With Morrie. I really live the book "The Glass Hotel". I have never read any books by Nicholas Sparks. I do not like romance very much.

I am in Texas.

I write. My dad is a journalist.

I was born a premature baby after the 1970s.  I was raised by my parents. My parents have been married for 20 years. I swap books with my sister.

I'm 20 miles from town.I am currently reading the book "Cutting for Stone". I prefer paper copy of books over ebooks. I cannot read small print. I have read Nicholas Sparks and recommend him to people who like romance.

[Speaker 1] I know you and your sister love to read. Did you get your love of books from your father, since he was a journalist?

[Speaker 2] Yes, he instilled a love for reading at a very young age. For every TV program we watched growing up I had to read at least 30 minutes.

[Speaker 1] Do you feel that your parent's insistence on reading led to your writing today?

[Speaker 2] No definitely not. I didn't fall in love with writing till college. I think growing up you never want to do what your parents did but I fell in love with it after taking and intro to writing class my freshman year.

[Speaker 1] So, do you write for a living? What kind of writing do you do?

[Speaker 2] I'm trying to but I haven't been lucky enough to get anything published yet. I mostly focus on fantasy but also do a little bit of sci-fi. I never asked what genre you like the best?

[Speaker 1] I like all kinds of fiction. I'm a big fan of sci-fi especially world building like Anne McCaffery or George RR Martin. Is that the type of sci-fi you write?

[Speaker 2] Well I don't think I can compare myself to those two but that is the type of sci-fi I try to write. Would you be interesting in being a reader for my rough drafts? I try to get a few people to give me their thoughts and impressions on my writing.

[Speaker 1] I would absolutely love to! I like reading on my phone, is there a chance your drafts are in digital format?

[Speaker 2] Yes, even though I prefer to read on paper I do all my writing electronically. I can email the draft to you, no problem.

[Speaker 1] I look forward to it. I understand reading on paper, and I used to prefer paper books, but found myself overwhelmed with books I'd finished reading. More than even the free library could handle.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I like to keep my books in my writing room. I'm trying to cover all the walls in books like you see in the movies. How large is the free library? Tell me more about it I love the idea.


I like puppies.
I like to be outside.
I like baking exclusive treats.
I like to make cookies.

I love eating chips and cheese.

I daydream about a fancier lifestyle.

I am a gamer.

I'm better at listening than discussing.

I think most scary monsters are serious.

[Speaker 1] I just finished walking around the park how are you

[Speaker 2] I am great! How are you?

[Speaker 1] Fine I m just going to get my darn my love dogs

[Speaker 1] I started a memoir called Educated. I saw it advertised a few years back in the New York Times and I finally got around to it. How about you?

[Speaker 2] How is it? I am looking for new books to read. I just finshed reading The Alchemist, which is one of my fave books. I read it every few years. Have you ever read it?

[Speaker 1] I like it so far! Very eye opening. The Alchemist is a great book. I read it in school - it was required reading!

[Speaker 1] My study group for my biology test decided to cancel on me. I now need to find someone else to study with.

[Speaker 2] Well, if you can get to me I can help you either before or after work. Otherwise I suggest going online and looking for a study group.

[Speaker 1] I am not sure if i will be able to make it to you in time. I might see if there is an online study group I can join.

[Speaker 2] I hope you can find one!  Is it possible for me to help you study from here? Maybe we can do some sort of online chat study thing?

[Speaker 1] Yeah that would actually be awesome. About when are you free to help?

[Speaker 2] How does around 8 tonight sound?  That will give me time to get home from work and eat dinner before hand.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that would be awesome! Thank you so much I really appreciate it. What do you plan on having for dinner?

[Speaker 2] Right now I'd say I'm going to order a pizza but in a few hours that can change lol! What are you going to have?

[Speaker 1] Not sure, will probably pick something up on my way home from work. I have been craving philly cheesesteaks. Do you have a favorite local pizza spot, or do you usually opt for chain?

[Speaker 2] I opt for chain, Pizza Hut or Papa Johns.  Hey, how are you doing on your other classes?

[Speaker 1] Ah! I used to love pizza hut but I don't like the local ones nearby. I usually go for Dominos! My other classes are going really well! I am very satisfied with my grades so far. You mentioned pointillism, what is that?

[Speaker 2] It's a way to paint a picture using small dots basically.  It's a different style but the end result is the same.  It started back in the late 1880s. I am trying it out.

[Speaker 1] I love art class, its my favorite high school class!

[Speaker 2] That is great! But I'm really into writing. Plan to write a book before I pass

[Speaker 1] I've watched how the publishing process on youtube, seems hard.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure it is. What do you do on your spare time?

[Speaker 1] I work for micky ds, watch youtube, sleep... Simple life really.. You?

[Speaker 2] Well, I draw a lot of unicorn for fun. Even though I am an adult.. Lol

[Speaker 1] Those are cool, it would be cooler if they were real. I'd want one

[Speaker 2] Agreed! But I'm actually a good pool player. Do you play?

[Speaker 1] No, lol bad hand eye coordination

[Speaker 2] It took a lot of practice for me. Do you travel?

Art class is my favorite.

I have bad hand-eye coordination and do not play pool.

I am in an art class.

I like to write.

I still like unicorns even though I am an adult.

I'm good at playing pool.

[Speaker 1] I've been busy preparing for the holidays - decorating, baking, wrapping presents. Are you all set for Christmas yet?

[Speaker 2] I am ready for Christmas.  Soon it will start to snow.  That is the perfect last thing.

[Speaker 1] Do you like snow? I love watching it but man the shoveling is so annoying!

[Speaker 2] It can be annoying.  I bought a snow blower.  That makes it more fun.  I watch youtube videos on how to maintain the machine.

[Speaker 1] That's nice! Was it expensive? I was thinking about buying one after seeing all those youtube and tiktok videos with snow blowers but I always thought they were so expensive.

[Speaker 2] I bought a used one in the middle of summer.  It is in good shape, but having the how to videos has been helpful.  Are you done baking?  I will make rum balls later today.

[Speaker 1] Wow those sound delicious. I made a key lime pie yesterday and I'll be making peach cobbler today. What else are you baking these days?

[Speaker 2] The rum balls are technically not baked.  They are crushed vanilla wafers, nuts and rum.  There might be something else to.  I have sourdough bread starter.  Baking bread is relaxing.

[Speaker 1] I could never keep up with my bread started. I'll have to try again. I'll look up a recipe for the rum balls to see if I can make them too!

[Speaker 2] They are easy.  Try not to rum ball and drive.

[Speaker 1] Hahaha. I don't drive so no worries. I always take the metro to work since having a car in the city is expensive. What about you, do you own a car?

[Speaker 2] I still have my car.  It is pretty handy.  We could trade.  I have a bread and 20 rum balls for a key lime pie?

Art class is my favorite.

I like the way snow looks. I don't own a snow blower.

I bake desserts.

I do not own a car so I ride the metro,.

I am in an art class.

I'm good at playing pool.

I own a pre-owned snow blower. I like the snow

I have a sourdough bread starter. Baking bread relaxes me.

I own a car.

[Speaker 1] I would love to see how you've decorated for Christmas.

[Speaker 2] It's one of my favorite yearly traditions! We put up lights around the house and trees, hang tinsel and decorate the Christmas tree! Do you do anything creative for the holiday season?.

[Speaker 1] Usually I bake around Christmas time! I love it a lot. Baking cookies is probably my favorite activity.

[Speaker 2] Hey me too! Just yesterday I baked2 fresh loaves of sourdough. I've been having a hard time finishing my final art project so I took a break to bake!

[Speaker 1] Have you finished the project yet? I heard art classes can be really tough! I'm glad you got to bake though, I know how much you love it. How did it taste?

[Speaker 2] I'm getting close, just dealing with a lot of distractions with the pool league and working on my short stories. The bread is fantastic! Do you decorate your Christmas cookies?

[Speaker 1] I'd love to read one of your short stories one day. I do decorate my cookies, it's probably the most therapeutic part of baking for me. Besides eating it, of course. How is the pool league going? I've never been very good at pool.

[Speaker 2] I'm currently ranked 5th in my league of 30 so doing well! Top 10 at the end of the season get $100 each so hopefully I keep playing up to my abilities! Maybe you could watch some YouTube videos for some pointers, that's how I learned the game.

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure videos will be able to help me. I've always had really bad hand-eye coordination!

[Speaker 2] Ah well, it's not for everyone! More time to focus on your delicious desserts!

[Speaker 1] You're right! I think that's more my type of sport, haha! But hey, maybe for your final art project you can make a unicorn!

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh I would love too, but my art teacher specifically told me to NOT paint unicorns for the final since that's pretty much all I've painted so far haha. Maybe I'll paint a horse and just imagine it has a horn. How's work been?

[Speaker 2] I'm good. I'm erin. I'm here eating a salad

[Speaker 1] Yum! What kind of salad do you have there?

[Speaker 2] All about health food. Grilled chicken caesar salad

[Speaker 1] For real caesar salad is my life.. Next to leather working.

[Speaker 2] Oh what you make? Leather jackets. Especially for fall or winter

[Speaker 1] Yeah, mostly for skiing and skateboarding. My other passions

[Speaker 2] Ooh skiiing def, I love winter and snow. I love fall too

[Speaker 1] Fall is cool. I've 30 pairs of boots I rotate through in the cooler months..

[Speaker 2] Well I like cool weather because I can sleep in

[Speaker 1] I love to sleep in, especially with my pets.. 4 rare breeds of cats and 2 dogs!

[Speaker 2] I got pets too. Probably why I'm not married. Lol

[Speaker 1] Way she goes. Tell me more about yourself

[Speaker 2] My hair brown and so is my eyes

My name is Craig.

I make leather jackets for skiing and skateboarding.

I love to sleep in. I have 6 pets: 4 cats and 2 dogs.

My name is Erin.
I love fall and winter.
I like cool weather.
I am not married.
I have brown hair and brown eyes.

[Speaker 1] Hi Erin, how are you liking the weather today? I know you like colder weather.

[Speaker 2] It's wonderful! Right now it's 61, which is the hottest it will get all day. Living in Florida, that's a luxury.  How are your animals?

[Speaker 1] Lucky for you then! It's 42 here in Scotland so the dogs have their jackets on when I take them outside for a walk. Have you any pets?

[Speaker 2] I've got two cats. They're not so happy about how cool it's been, because they can't go out onto my balcony and relax. Do the dogs mind wearing jackets?

[Speaker 1] A balcony, so do you live in an apartment block? They like it because it keeps the snow off their stomach. I made them small jackets myself.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, because I figure since it's only me and the cats, I don't really need a house right now. Or as my Scottish immigrant mom used to say, "Dinna fash yeself, wean."

[Speaker 1] That's a good reason. I need a big house because of all the pets... oh and don't forget the kids LOL!.  Have you ever visited Scotland?

[Speaker 2] Only once, when I was pretty young. My grandparents (who still live there) come over here about twice a year.  Do you have kids?

[Speaker 1] How old are you now? Lucky for your grandparents, I'd love to visit Florida but the flights are so expensive, I can't afford it. Yes, I have a son and a daughter.

[Speaker 2] I'm only 23. The price of flights has kept me from travelling as much as I'd like as well. How old are your kids?

[Speaker 1] What country would you like to travel to the most? Adam is 7 and Lucy is 13.

[Speaker 2] I'd really like to visit England (and the rest of the UK while I'm there) and then probably Japan, because it seems like a very fun place. Have you travelled anywhere?

My name is Craig.

I live in Scotland in a house.

My name is Erin. I am 23 years old. I am not rich.

I am not married.

I have brown hair and brown eyes.

I live in Florida.

I have two cats.

[Speaker 1] I just saw a news segment about Floridians on vacation in Japan, and thought of you, lol. Is the weather still cool?

[Speaker 2] It's starting to warm up! I'm thinking about moving up north somewhere cooler. Do you have snow where you live right now?

[Speaker 1] Aye a wee bit here and there. It's a nice change of pace from the usual rain. The dogs love it. Where are you thinking of moving to?

[Speaker 2] Maybe the north east! I would love to see the fall colors every year, that's something definitely missing from florida lol.

[Speaker 1] Aye I'm sure it's wonderful. My daughter wants to take a trip to Boston in the future. Maybe you could show us around some day!

[Speaker 2] That would be so fun. I'd love to meet Lucy and Adam. Maybe we could even take a skiing trip too while we're at it. :)

[Speaker 1] Aye, that'd be grand! They've never been skiing but I'm sure they would enjoy it. Any plans on visiting your nan and pa soon?

[Speaker 2] I've been thinking about it. I'd need to find someone to catsit though. Since I don't have a roommate, I have to find someone who'll do it. Maybe in the next few months I'll book a trip and come visit.

[Speaker 1] Yes that's always a challenge. I'm sure they'll be happy to see you when you make the trip nest.

[Speaker 2] I think it'll be a nice change of pace from them coming over here all the time. I'm sure all that flying gets tiring.

[Speaker 1] Aye. I'm too keen on flying myself. Too many early morning flights :) Well it'd be a good time to relocate, as you're not tied down to anything in Florida.

[Speaker 2] Maybe! I'm still on the fence about it. If I can find a good price apartment somewhere else I'll probably make the leap. I just don't want to get into a financial bind you know?

My name is Craig.

I live in Scotland in a house. I get a lot of rain where I live.

I am not rich. I have one son and one daughter. My son Adam is 7 years old. My daughter Lucy is 13 years old.

My daughter wants to visit Boston. My family has never been skiing. I do not like flying.

I am not married.

I have brown hair and brown eyes.

I live in Florida.

I have two cats.

I live alon in an apartment with a balcony. I am of Scottish descent. I have visited Scotland. I have grandparents in Scotland. My grandparents always fly to visit me.

I would like to visit England and Japan. I want to move northeast so the weather is cooler.

I want to make good financial decisions.

[Speaker 1] When you visit your grandparents in Scotland, I recommend visiting the Scottish Highlands. That is one of my favorite sights to see, especially during sunset. I drive to the highlands with my kids and dogs all the time!

[Speaker 2] I would love to! I hear it's beautiful this time of year. Do you have any other recommendations as far as places to visit the next time I come to Scotland?

[Speaker 1] the Edinburgh castle is always a must see!

[Speaker 2] What about your kids! What are their favorite places in Scotland or at least that they have been so far?

[Speaker 1] they just love going hiking and enjoying nature

[Speaker 2] Oh really? Then you must take them skiing I'm sure they would love that if they're really into nature and being athletic like that.

[Speaker 1] maybe we will have to try that some time.

[Speaker 2] Yes I'm sure you must know all the best skiing places with your current profession I'm sure you get orders from all kind of wonderful skiing places.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I'm not sure why I didn't think to take them skiing before. Maybe because my youngest is still so little it never crossed my mind. but they may be old enough to enjoy it now.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes! Now that he's 7 it will be the perfect time to start him. And you could make them their very own little ski jackets it would be so cute!

[Speaker 1] Lol maybe I can have them design their jackets too

[Speaker 2] Haha!!! Little Lucy and Adam Ski jacket line.

[Speaker 2] I do. I have listened to Rage since they were formed. I also like to listen to Running Wild. Have you ever heard of them?

[Speaker 1] I actually haven't heard of them? How did you find out about them?

[Speaker 2] They were popular back in the 90's. My cousin introduced them to me. My sons can't believe that I actually enjoy the music. I guess they forget that I had a life before they came along.

[Speaker 1] Haha I totally understand! But surprisingly my daughters have started to enjoy rage metal. Do you ever wish you had daughters?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I enjoy the different kind of drama that comes with sons than daughters especially now that mine are in their late teens. How old are your kids?

[Speaker 1] I have 7 so it always take me awhile to remember their ages. If I remember correctly they are 17, 15, 14, 11, 6, 3, and 2.

[Speaker 2] Wow. Mine are 18 and 16. I am soon to be an empty nester and we have started making plans about what we want to enjoy before grandkids start appearing.

[Speaker 1] Aww that's sweet! What is the first thing you want to do once you have the kids out of the house?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, my sons absolutely love rage music and we have gone to many music events together!

[Speaker 1] That's really cool. Do they have a favorite band?

[Speaker 2] Running Wild is one of their favorites as they take after me haha. How is your dog doing?

[Speaker 1] She's doing well. But I think she's mad she was left at home. She hates being excluded.

[Speaker 2] Dogs are funny creatures. They need so much attention, it's like having another child!

[Speaker 1] They can be. They are fun too their. My dog howls along to scream metal. It's super cute.

[Speaker 2] That is the cutest thing ever. Maybe I should consider getting a pet.

[Speaker 2] I love hairless cats! They're so unique. I've heard they quite like water, is that true for yours?

[Speaker 1] My cats love the water. People think I'm crazy but they come to the pool with me and love to hop in. It's hilarious. You should look it up on youtube, it's quite entertaining

[Speaker 2] I've seen hairless cats playing in the bath before and it's so cute and funny. If I ever get a cat I will get one of those. Thanks for the cat breed and pastry recommendations! Haha :)

[Speaker 1] They are expensive since they are quite rare but their personalities are quite different and fun. You're so welcome!!! When you get a cat reach out to me and I'll give you my tips!

[Speaker 2] I will do! And I'll be sure to save up some money ahead of time since they're a little expensive, but so worth it I'm sure

I am Mexican and a baker.

I tried a new recipe. I was successful. I am familiar with Mexican pastries.

Italian food is my favorite food.

I listen to Iron Maiden.

I live in Minnesota.

I am a beginner at cooking.

I don't have pets. I like cats.

I am familiar with the cat breed that Speaker 1 owns.

I am considering buying a hairless cat.

[Speaker 1] My cats did the craziest thing after we last chatted. They both crawled into the bath tub and meowed until I filled it up with water. I told you they love it!

[Speaker 2] What oddball cats! Did they swim in the water?

[Speaker 1] They did!  It was amazing to watch.  Of course I had to take pictures otherwise my friends wouldn't believe me.  When do you think you will get your cat?

[Speaker 2] The kitten should be available in about a month what with weaning etc. Do I need to buy little sweaters for it to wear?

[Speaker 1] Just because they are hairless doesn't mean they are cold - lol.  But I have sweaters for both my cats mostly for holidays.  What is your favorite holiday?

[Speaker 2] Sweaters sound so cute. My favorite holiday is Christmas! What's yours?

[Speaker 1] Same!  And so many cute sweater options to choose from.  I remember you mentioning you like Italian food.  I just baked the most amazing Focaccia bread.  happy to send you the recipe?

[Speaker 2] Please do! I do love Italian food. Is it hard to make the Focaccia bread? I'm not much of a cook.

[Speaker 1] I remember you mentioning you were a beginner which is why I am recommending this for you.  And of course your place will smell amazing.  I'll send it your way and will be good to warm up in Minnesota.  Let's chat again later?

[Speaker 2] Thanks for keeping my newbie cook status in mind. Send the recipe. Hopefully I'll make it before we chat again!

[Speaker 1] Will do.  And don't forget to take pictures.

[Speaker 1] I've decided to take up a new hobby! I love baking and will continue to do that, but I also LOVE taking photos of my cats in Christmas sweaters! So, I think I'm going to learn how to knit so that i can learn how to make my precious babies their own one-of-a-kind Christmas sweaters. I might even start an Instagram for my little loves!

[Speaker 2] That is awesome! I think that would be a huge hit on Instagram. People would eat it up.

[Speaker 1] I think so too. My cats mean the world to me and I LOVE Christmas so getting to do both is just amazing. Having said that, baking has been great fun to learn too. Have you baked before?

[Speaker 2] I actually am just starting to cook/bake. very new to it all. Maybe you could teach me a thing or two?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I would love to help. I tried make savoury pastries the other day. I made some mince meat filling then stuffed it in puff pastry, folded it over and popped it in the over. They were yummy! You should try, very easy!

[Speaker 2] It does sound like it would be absolutely delicious. You should also make an instagram for your baking projects!

[Speaker 1] That would be a great idea! Thank you! Yes, photos of my cakes in cute knitted Christmas jumpers and some baking photos. What have you learnt to make so far?

[Speaker 2] As far as baking goes? Not too much. I do however make this legit Italian flat bread pizza!

[Speaker 1] Mmm, italian flat bread pizza. That sounds delicious! What toppings did you put on the pizza?

[Speaker 2] I am a huge fan of pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers. It is a flavor explosion.

[Speaker 1] Wow! That sounds yummy. Might give something similar a go tonight. I do love banana peppers! I love snacking on them as a starter

[Speaker 2] They are so good, healthy and a delicious flavor, so I am glad to hear you like them too!

[Speaker 1] No, he is completely blind, he doesn't even see colors.

[Speaker 2] I see. Do you use any new gadgets with your sons blindness? I in the choir.

[Speaker 1] No, we do not. He'sn't responsive to those.

[Speaker 2] I draw and like gadgets. You?

I have a ten year old son. My son is completely blind. My son's blindness does not respond to treatment.

I do not go to church.

I am a stay-at-home parent.

I have a twin sister named Jessica. My sister Jessica has six-month old triplets.

I am a mother of 4 sons and 1 daughter.
I am a singer. I am good with babies.
I am good with technology.
I am in a choir.
I like to draw. I like gadgets.

[Speaker 1] How are your sons and daughter doing?

[Speaker 2] Kids are doing good. My youngest just started walking today! How is your son doing?

[Speaker 1] Oh that's great! My son is doing pretty well. Every day is both a challenge and a blessing. How are your other children doing?

[Speaker 2] Glad he is doing good today. The other kids are great things are just really hectic here. I don't feel like I have enough time in the day to get everything done. How do you like being a stay at home parent? I am considering quitting my singing job to stay home full time.

[Speaker 1] It's pretty nice most of the time being able to spend so much time with the family and take care of the house. But I also miss seeing so many people regularly. It can get to feel lonely after a while. I've been thinking about looking for a part-time job actually.

[Speaker 2] That's one thing I have been worried about, not being around other adults very much. I can imagine it does get lonely. The kids hate going to the sitter though and the youngest always cried. I feel terrible leaving them there. Not really sure what I will decide to do. What kid of part time job are you considering?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it's especially difficult when they're young. I've been thinking about becoming a cashier or a waitress or something, but I'm not really sure.

[Speaker 2] That would be good. At least it would get you out of the house for a little bit. Maybe I need to just cut my hours back, more part time than full time? That way the kids won't be at the sitter so much. Do you use a sitter for your son at all?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I think part-time would be a good idea, although taking a break from it while they're younger and then coming back to it might also be a good idea. We used to use a babysitter every so often when he was younger, but we're using them less and less now. Sometimes he stays with my sister.

[Speaker 2] Yes, think I won't feel so overwhelmed going that route. There just isn't enough time in the day and I feel like I am missing out on so much with them.  I only got to see a video today of my little one taking her first steps that the sitter sent me. Really bummed I wasn't there for it.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's a shame, but it's a great thing that you have the video of that event. Make sure you save it!

[Speaker 2] Yes! At least I have the video! Can't wait to get home tonight and see her walk in person!

I have a 10 year old son. My son is completely blind. My son's blindness does not respond to treatment.

I do not go to church.

My twin sister Jessica has six-month old triplets.

I am a stay at home parent. I miss seeing people on a regular basis. Sometimes I get lonely. I have been considering getting a part-time job: a cashier or waitress.

I have a baby sitter for my kids sometimes.

I am a mother of 4 sons and 1 daughter. I am good with babies.

I am good with technology.

I like to draw. I like gadgets.

I feel like I don't have enough time in the day to get everything I need to do done. I have a job as a singer in a choir. I am thinking about quitting my job to stay home full time.

I am worried I won't be around other adults as much if I quit my job. I feel bad when I leave my kids with the sitter. Sometimes I feel like I am missing out on spending time with my kids. I missed seeing my baby take their first steps in person and only have a video of it.

[Speaker 1] Have you still been considering quitting you job? I heard of an opening at this company that is looking for a singer, but only part time! Maybe you could apply?

[Speaker 2] Maybe I could. I need to definitely cut back on my work hours.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I'm sure your kids will appreciate it. Work is important, but don't overdo it to the detriment of family!

[Speaker 2] That's what I'm trying to avoid. I know my kids would love it if I were home more.

[Speaker 1] They definitely would. How are they doing these days, anyway?

[Speaker 2] They are doing okay. Having great days with the sitter and then also at school. They just miss me alot!

[Speaker 1] I'm sure they do. That's good that they get along with the sitter and are doing well at school though.

[Speaker 2] It really is. I'm grateful my kids are good kids, and they are smart.

[Speaker 1] It's good to be so blessed. Have your purchased any interesting gadgets lately?

[Speaker 2] Actually, the other day I picked up an egg separator!

[Speaker 1] That sounds interesting. I'm assuming it separates eggs, but how does it work exactly?

[Speaker 2] Its egg shaped with a bunch of tiny holes, and you put the egg in and it separates!


I have been feeling depressed.
I'm self conscious about my looks.
My partner totally does not understand.
I like hitting the town.
I enjoy her company.

I like to exercise.

[Speaker 1] In the past I've played hockey.

[Speaker 2] I use to play basket ball in high school

[Speaker 1] Are you swimming right now? I'd like to go on run with you instead.

[Speaker 2] No maybe later I will go,

[Speaker 1] Would you ever swim while playing hockey?

[Speaker 2] If the ice was un frozen sure would

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. How tall am I?

[Speaker 2] I think you are six feet tall the same as me

[Speaker 1] Correct! Let us be 6 foot tall in a pool together.

[Speaker 2] Sounds great to and swim after while

[Speaker 2] Handy in the kitchen is a good thing. I'm starting a new job.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like fun, all my children are grown up so I have time

[Speaker 2] I do not have kids yet, just 2 cats. I love them.

[Speaker 1] I've a small cat named fe

[Speaker 2] They are so loving even though people say they are independant.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I meant to say his name was felix and a small terror

[Speaker 2] I love dogs too. We have a gecko too, bright green. That is my favorite color, green.

[Speaker 1] That's sound awesome and cool

I have a bright green gecko. My favorite color is green.

I graduated from school two years ago.

[Speaker 1] How are your cats doing?

[Speaker 2] Hi, the cats are doing just fine right now though i did find a small lump on Charlie the eldests paw im going to get checked out. He seems fine though. Hows yours, Felix?

[Speaker 1] Oh no, sorry to hear that! I hope it's nothing and Charlie ends up being all right. Hopefully that'll be the case since he seems fine. Felix is doing well, just into everything these days. Crazy little guy!

[Speaker 2] Its probably nothing, but better to be safe than sorry. If its fine then im hoping to get away in spring, take both the cats and fly to Vermont to see my parents and extended family. Eat home cooked food and get cosy in the cold weather!

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds amazing! I love the northeast and I'm sure it's extra cozy during the winter. How do your cats do flying? I've never tried to take Felix before.

[Speaker 2] Weve done it once before with Charlie, but never with Casper (the little one)... Charlie always seems totally zoned out after a flight, but absolutely fine

[Speaker 1] Oh that's good to know. Hopefully Casper does as well as Charlie. I may have to try it with Felix the next time I visit my kids. I always feel bad boarding him.

[Speaker 2] Charlie has a nice big cat carrier, i stick a toy in there and some a little cat nip to stop him from getting bored

[Speaker 1] Great idea - a bored cat is never a good thing, haha! I should get Felix a good cat carrier. Do you like the one you have for Charlie?

[Speaker 2] Yeah very happy, it was about $50 at Walmart, but its big enough he can walk around quite happily, i wouldn't want him in anything that felt too restrictive.

[Speaker 1] That sounds perfect! You definitely don't want him in a tight space, especially if it's a long flight. How long is it for you to get to Vermont?

[Speaker 2] Its a little under 3 hours, its quite a nice flight though. Im thinking maybe one time id like to travel cross country on the sleeper train, the food is supposed to be great, so id like to try that.

I like cooking, baking, and gardening.

I have children that are grown up. My kids do not live with me.

I have a small terror cat named Felix.

I am studying accounting.

My favorite hobby is travelling.

I am starting a new job.

I graduated from school two years ago.

I have family in Vermont. I am taking my cats on a plane.

Charlie has been on a plane before. Casper has not been on a plane.

I live where I can take a train.

[Speaker 1] How did the vet visit go? Is Charlie's paw ok?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's doing better now thanks, he just needs to finish his anti-biotics and then he'll be all better. How's Felix doing?

[Speaker 1] Felix is great! He is as cuddly as ever. Luckily I haven't had to take him to the vet because it would be hard without a carrier! How's casper?

[Speaker 2] Haha, you should get one, better to get it now so you have one in case there is an emergency! Casper is fine thanks, he's such a laid back guy, he's such an easy cat to look after. I've been thinking about starting an Instagram for them actually!

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea! Felix never lets me take his picture. Somehow he knows what the camera is and avoids it. Are your cats photogenic?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, they are both very handsome, I think they'd make great little models! Plus we can take lots of pictures on our travels, I think people might enjoy it!

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea! I would instantly follow that instagram account. Do you plan to take Charlie on his first plane ride soon?

[Speaker 2] Charlie's actually been on a plane before, he's a pro! It's Casper who's never flown before, but I think he'll be fine with it. We're hoping to go out to Vermont to visit my family, just waiting for Charlie to get signed off from the vets.

[Speaker 1] Oh sorry, I I misspoke! I meant to ask about Casper. That sounds wonderful! Is it stressful to take cats on planes?

[Speaker 2] It was a bit stressful the first few times, but now I know exactly what's going to happen it's not so bad. I do get a lot of funny looks though!

[Speaker 1] I bet you do! I have a hard enough time flying. I don't think I will ever take Felix on a plane. Are you planning to travel anywhere else besides Vermont? I know how you love traveling!

[Speaker 2] I am looking at a few places for the trip after Vermont, maybe somewhere around Washington or Chesapeake. I need to find places that are cat friendly, makes it a little more tricky!

I like cooking, baking, and gardening.

I have a small terror cat named Felix.

I am studying accounting.

I have not taken my cat on a plane. I do not own a carrier to take my cat with me. My cat Felix never lets me take his picture. I have a hard time flying.

My favorite hobby is travelling.

I am starting a new job.

I don't have any children. I have two cats. My oldest cat is named Charlie. Charlie is a big cat. My second cat is named Casper. Casper is a laid  back male cat.

I graduated from school two years ago.

I have family in Vermont. I live where I can take a train.

I took Charlie to the vet for his paw. The vet put him on antibiotics.

I'm thinking of starting an instagram for Casper. Both my cats are very handsome and would make greats models.

Charlie has been on a plane. Casper has never been on a plane. I'm hoping to visit my family in Vermont once I get Charlie signed off on by the Vet.

Taking my cats on planes was stressful the first few times, but now its not so bad.

I love to travel. I am looking into Washington or Chesapeake to travel to after Vermont. I need to find cat friendly places.

[Speaker 1] I did it! I bought a carrier for Felix.

[Speaker 2] That's great! Now maybe you can take him with you when you travel like I did with Charlie before. Did you try getting him to go inside yet?

[Speaker 1] Not yet, but he is starting to come up on the porch to eat his meals so thats a step in the right direction.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that's for sure. He just needs some time. I looked into getting that Instagram account for Casper. There are a lot more cats that have accounts than I thought!

[Speaker 1] I love all the cat instagram accounts! They're the best. If you set up one for Casper, I'll give you a follow for sure!

[Speaker 2] If you can get Felix to let you take a few pictures maybe he can make an appearance on the account as well. I want to wait until Charlie starts feeling better though. His paw isn't 100% yet. He still favors one side over the other.

[Speaker 1] Bless his little heart! I hate to hear that. I hope he recovers soon! Yes, maybe I'll get some of him in his new carrier lol

[Speaker 2] Yeah he really hates the camera doesn't he? How are the accounting classes going?

[Speaker 1] Yeah... its def not his favorite thing. He's so grumpy. They're going well. Thank you for asking!

[Speaker 2] I just hope one these days you can take a flight and come visit. Now that you have the carrier you can bring Felix on the plane as well. I know its a scary thing the first time but trust me you'll like it and its such a faster cheaper way to travel.

[Speaker 1] That would be so much fun. I wonder if the vet could give us some medicine to calm his nerves.

[Speaker 2] I can ask when I bring Charlie back in for his next checkup. That way you might not need to make an appointment.

[Speaker 2] I love to travel, my trusty honda can attest to that! Lol you?

[Speaker 1] I enjoy playing my guitar and a bit of gaming. Do you do a lot of traveling?

[Speaker 2] I travel all I can when my job delivering packages allows. Do you travel?

[Speaker 1] Not much to be honest, I'm a welder I'm a bit of a hermit.

[Speaker 2] Interesting. It is about to get stressful at work with the holidays coming. Send candy! Lol

[Speaker 1] Haha will do if you send me a juicy steak!

[Speaker 2] Deal! Tell me more about your job!

[Speaker 1] Very bland, I just weld pipelines for an oil company, mostly patchwork but sometimes more.

I have cats.
I love to travel. I drive a Honda.
My job is delivering packages.

[Speaker 1] I just finished playing a new game and am getting ready to grill some dinner.

[Speaker 2] What game were you playing? I could use a new distraction. I just got home from a long day at work, I'm exhausted.

[Speaker 1] I was playing Assassin's creed Valhalla. So far its great. Are you tired because you had to deliver a lot of packages?

[Speaker 2] Yes! And the weather is awful. Would you recommend Valhalla? I've heard great things about the AC series.

[Speaker 1] Its great if you like the series. The controls handle really well. what kind of weather are you getting right now?

[Speaker 2] Just a lot of snow and wind. Makes visibility a nightmare and everyone's steps are slippery so I have to be careful. How has work been for you?

[Speaker 1] It's ok, but not really busy right now. I'm in between projects. Next pipeline project should need me soon though.

[Speaker 2] Do you enjoy your job? I'm sure it's really hard work but I'm curious what you like about it. It's very unique.

[Speaker 1] Its tough work sometimes, but I find it really fulfilling. I take pride in making sure my welds are superior. Do you have any vacation plans coming up?

[Speaker 2] I'm trying to get someone to look after my cats so I can take a vacation but no luck yet. I need a holiday! How about you? Any vacations coming up?

[Speaker 1] I don't have anything planned just yet. Its always hard to figure out what to do with my cat when I travel, so a lot of times I just take him with me. You should try it.

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. They are pretty good in the car, so as long I go somewhere by road it wouldn't be a problem.

I love cats. I take my cat with me when I go on vacation.

I am a welder. I work for an oil company.  My job is contractual.

I love to travel. I drive a Honda. My job is delivering packages by hand to front doors.

[Speaker 1] Have you heard about that cat cafe that opened up a few towns over? People bring their cats and enjoy coffee while the cats have a giant playground to explore.

[Speaker 2] I haven't! But that sounds like so much fun. Have you been?

[Speaker 1] Not yet, but I'm definitely checking it out soon. A cat playground is just such a cute idea, I'm gonna take plenty of videos.

[Speaker 2] I wonder if they have food at stuff too? Or maybe the cats would try to eat it all. That would be bad. LOL. How's the gaming goin?

[Speaker 1] Lol I could bring some ham and get attacked by a hoard of hungry cats. What a way to go. It's pretty good! I've gotten into beat saber recently. Do you have a VR headset?

[Speaker 2] Not yet. I want one, but thye are so expensive. Do you have one?

[Speaker 1] I do, yeah. It was expensive but so worth it in my opinion. Beat saber is giving me a workout haha, though I imagine I'd look ridiculous to anyone watching me play.

[Speaker 2] I bet you do! Set up your camera and film yourself. I'd love to see it.

[Speaker 1] Hahaha oh boy, I think I'd cringe just watching myself. I love rhythm games, I'm surprised they have it working so well in VR. Do you ever play rhythm/dance games?

[Speaker 2] Not a ton. I have two left feet. I love adventure games. I bet those are super immersive in VR. God of War in VR would be amazing.

[Speaker 1] Omg that would be amazing. Or horror games, I've got to try one of those at some point.

[Speaker 2] It's not a horror game, but The Last of Us would also be really fun.

A cat cafe opened in my area. I like taking fun videos.

I am a video gamer. I'm enjoying playing Beat Saber right now, although it is difficult! I own an expensive virtual reality headset. I love playing rhythm-based video games. I have a camera to film myself gaming. I want to try a VR horror game at some point.

My name is Sandy. I like to eat candy.

I have cats.

I play games. I own a video game system. I would like to get a virtual reality headset, but they are expensive. I like playing adventure games. I would like to play GOD OF WAR in VR. I would to play The Last of Us in VR.

[Speaker 1] I went by that cat cafe we talked about. It was adorable!

[Speaker 2] What is a cat cafe anyways?

[Speaker 1] We talked about it! Its basically a normal cafe just with a lot of cats roaming around! Free pets and cuddles!

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a dream! Why didn't you go in?

[Speaker 1] I did go in... I just said i did. I met 6 cats. One decided he owned me and sat on me the entire time!

[Speaker 2] He didn't try and eat your food? Does your cat get along with other cats?

[Speaker 1] Oh i didnt bring him, im not sure you can or if he would get along with them though. OH, did you get to try those games out in VR yet?

[Speaker 2] I did! I finally tried God of War like I said. Wow that was intense! I recommend it.

[Speaker 1] I think it would be fun. The other one you wanted to try is a horror type game right?

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I'm going to have to invest in a set up like you and my friend have. How much do you think you invested in all that?

[Speaker 1] Well to say it was cheap was a lie, BUT i did snag a good deal of ebay. I just checked every day

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea. I think that's how my friend got set up as well. I used to buy stuff on there all the time but got away from it.


My favorite artist is justin bieber.

My family and I go camping every month.

I love to go horseback riding whenever I can.

I've not been lit.

I'm an introvert.

I've been dating my significant other for a long time.

In the south studying the earth and rocks can be a career.

[Speaker 1] Hey how are you tonight?

[Speaker 2] Hi there! I'm ok, having lots of social anxiety

[Speaker 1] Oh why? Whats going on?

[Speaker 2] I guess its my girlfriend of years getting to me. Do you go to school?

[Speaker 1] No I am out of school... Actually a parent. I take it you are still in school by your question?

[Speaker 2] I am a geology major, I go to university of alabama

[Speaker 1] Wow that interesting. I've seen some interesting rock formations when I go camping.

[Speaker 2] I love rocks! Where do you go camping? I've never been!

[Speaker 1] Most of the time its a small forested area near me.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really lovely. Do you drink? I have never had alcohol in my life

[Speaker 1] Very rarely. Its a acquired taste.

[Speaker 2] I guess you are right. You must be busy being a parent, how old are your kids?

I'm a parent. I'm out of school.
I go camping.
I rarely drink alcohol.

I'm having social anxiety.

I have a girlfriend.

I study Geology in university of alabama.

I love rocks.

I've never had alcohol.

[Speaker 1] I just went camping the other day. My kid came along with me.

[Speaker 2] Camping sounds fun.  How was your trip?

[Speaker 1] It was great. We went to a national park that we have been waiting years to be able to visit and we saw some pretty cool things. Have you ever been to Yosemite?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, but I am going eventually.  I love rocks and study Geology, so Yosemite is def in my plans.  What was the park like?

[Speaker 1] The park was so beautiful. We saw buffalo, bears, and some really amazing waterfalls. My son really enjoyed it. We want to come back soon. Where do you want to go with your career?

[Speaker 2] Sounds amazing.  I can't wait to go.  I haven't really figured out my career yet.  Maybe I will become a park ranger.

[Speaker 1] Ah! There were a ton of park rangers at Yosemite and they were so so helpful! That's a good path to chose but I'm not sure it pays that well.

[Speaker 2] It doesn't pay very well, but it would be good to do when I am still young.  Good experience.  How often do you go camping?

[Speaker 1] We try to go one or twice a year. Maybe you should go with your girlfriend, I think you'd enjoy it a lot.

[Speaker 2] She is afraid of bugs, lol!  My social anxiety would be bad if I went alone, but I am working on it.  Especially if I want to be a ranger.

[Speaker 1] That's why there's bug repellent! You can both work on your fears as a bonding experience, it would make you both better!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that sound like it would be nice.  Does camping bring you and your kid closer?

I'm out of school.

I go camping.

I rarely drink alcohol.

We went to Yosemite National Park. We saw buffalo, bears, and waterfalls. I have a son. He liked the park. We want to come back.

We go camping once or twice a year.

I study Geology in University of Alabama.

I love rocks.

I've never had alcohol.

I've never been to Yosemite National Park. I will go one day.

I don't have a career yet. I don't know what I want to do. I'm thinking about becoming a park ranger which don't earn a lot of money. It is a job for good experience.

I have a girlfriend. She is afraid of bugs. She wouldn't go camping. I have social anxiety. I couldn't go camping alone. I'm working on fixing it.

[Speaker 1] My son has been talking non stop about all of the cool rock formations we saw at Yosemite. I think he might be interested in Geology!

[Speaker 2] Cool! Did they get to see the fire waterfall? I heard that the sun hits just right and it look like fire running down the Half Dome?

[Speaker 1] I wish. It was the wrong time of year, unfortunately. We are definitely planning to go back to check it out in a few months. Maybe we can meet you there lol. any luck convincing your gf to go camping?

[Speaker 2] That would be cool but I haven't had any luck with her, in fact we sort of broke up. We aren't talking and she blocked my calls so it feels really broken up.

[Speaker 1] Oh no! i'm so sorry. what happened?

[Speaker 2] Well, we were talking about kids and if we ever wanted any someday and it went down hill from there. I told her that I have a medical issue and that I can't have biological kids. She got really mad and said that I was keeping that from her so it's the same as a lie.

[Speaker 1] That sucks, I am sorry. That can be a breaking point in any relationship. Maybe she just needs some space to calm down and reevaluate. Better to get that kind of thing out in the open now then at least you know where she stands. If she decides she wants biological kids and thats a deal breaker well then you know you were not meant for each other.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I know you're right. I had a feeling that this is what would happen and so that is why I never told her before. So, its my fault and I know it but I just didn't want to get dumped. This is the second time this has happened to me over the kid issue.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that blows especially as there isn' anything you can do about it; except be honest in the beginning and hope she will understand or look past it. plenty more fish in the sea.

[Speaker 2] That is what I have learned the most through this, I have to be honest from day one. I can start a date with the phrase, " I am never having your baby"....hahah! Gesh, dang it!

[Speaker 1] ahahahah i mean you could and then you would know for sure from day one lol. but yeah it might make things kinda awkward.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I can start off my saying, " I love rocks, have allergies and don't want kids.....Wanna get married?"...HAHA!

[Speaker 2] What game is it? I know you love your video games, but I just can't seem to get into them. And I am never good at them.

[Speaker 1] It's called League of Legends. It's fun but I rather play mario to be honest. I need to get out and exercise more though!

[Speaker 2] Getting outside and doing physical activity is always good. I am supposed to play baseball tomorrow, and we could use another player. Do you want to play with us?

[Speaker 1] Yes, that would be fun! Are you sure though? I'm not very good!

[Speaker 2] Yes, I am sure! Don't worry. There are many people that are not good. It is mostly about having fun. We are playing at 1pm. Come over to my place by 12:30 if you can. We have extra equipment.

[Speaker 1] I'll take you up on it then! Thanks for the invite! Is there anything in particular I should bring to the game?

[Speaker 2] You don't need to bring anything. Just dress ready to play! We are going to cook out and drink beer after. It will be a lot of fun. I am glad you are coming! Everyone will be happy to see you.

[Speaker 1] Nice! I'll bring some chips to share with the group and a really nice IPA beer that I found at my local brewery. Thanks again for the invite, I'm excited to meet everyone

[Speaker 2] That sounds perfect. The local breweries are the best. What is the beer? I love IPAs. I am drinking one now. It helps me get in the mood to write my blog. It is part of the process.

[Speaker 1] It's called Snowy Meadow beer. I discovered it thanks to some friends who love going to breweries on the weekends. What are you writing about in your blog right now?

My blog is about small aquariums.

[Speaker 1] Have you started working on your blog yet?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I've been working on it for a while. I really love writing about aquariums.

[Speaker 1] You definitely seem to love aquariums. I don't know much about them. I'm more of a nerd/gamer

[Speaker 2] They seem simple, but they are actually a lot of work. If you don't maintain them well, your fish will not thrive. I guess you prefer furry pets.

[Speaker 1] I think fish and aquariums are beautiful, but I just don't have the interest in the upkeep. I do prefer dogs to any other animals but I am just not a huge pet person overall

[Speaker 2] So have you played any interesting new games lately?

[Speaker 1] As a matter of fact the only reason I have so many pets is due to my girlfriend. She's an animal lover. No, I haven't played any new games lately. I've been sticking to old games that bring nostalgia.

[Speaker 2] The only games I'm familiar with playing are aquarium related games like fishdom. That's cool that you love your girlfriend enough to put up with all those pets.

[Speaker 1] Yea, my girlfriend is great so I put up with a lot. I've never played fishdom. Is it fun?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's really fun but you have to be careful because it can be very addictive.

[Speaker 1] I think I may try it out, I'm looking for more games to play.

[Speaker 2] Okay, it's a free download in the app store. Just be careful you don't waste money with all the in game upgrades.
