[Speaker 1] Hello there! Are you on the phone?

[Speaker 2] Nope I'm gonna be the cause of the worlds change one day.

[Speaker 1] I just love my I phone. I talk on it all the time.

[Speaker 2] What do you call a bear with no teeth?

[Speaker 1] A toothless bear. Are you a megalomaniac?

[Speaker 2] A gummy bear! No, I just have faith in our future.

[Speaker 1] Funny! I am not much of an intellectual. I did not go to college.

[Speaker 2] That's ok. Where do cows go for entertainment?

[Speaker 1] Cowtown? I'm not good at this. I like to hike.

[Speaker 2] The moo vies I tell jokes all the time!

[Speaker 1] You are really funny. I am just an ordinary person. I work in a bank.

[Speaker 2] Banks are fun. How do you tell if an elephant has been in your fridge?

[Speaker 1] The peanut butter jar is empty. Do you keep peanut butter in the fridge?

[Speaker 2] Ha, I do not, but you can tell from the footprints in the butter.

I love talking on the phone.

I did not go to college.

I'm not good at guessing. I like to hike.

I work in a bank.

[Speaker 1] Do you come up with those jokes yourself or find them somewhere else?

[Speaker 2] I find many of my jokes from Reddit. Also I came up some of them. Why didn't you go to college?

[Speaker 1] It's neat how you can use anything for inspiration. Live comedy is the best! Do you perform stand-up? I didn't go to college yet, due to the expense.

[Speaker 2] Yes I perform stand-up sometimes. How much money do you need for college? Maybe I could borrow you.

[Speaker 1] Performing stand up is great! Do you desire this professionally? If not, what is your dream job? I would never accept such an offer. You should be careful with such indebtedness, I work hard at the bank and they have some educational benefits I can pursue. Class cost depends on college and courses of study. I just have to start narrowing things down.

[Speaker 2] Yes it's my dream job. I haven't perform professionally, but I think it's time to make a big descision for me.

[Speaker 1] I say go for it. You never know until you try. That is how I started hiking and I love it!

[Speaker 2] Do yo hike every day? You do it individualy?

[Speaker 1] No, not everyday, Just any chance I get. I loosely set a goal of 1ce a week. Do you enjoy any fitness activities?

[Speaker 2] Nice. Yes I play football. I'm a crazy football fan.

[Speaker 1] American football or International futbal?

[Speaker 2] There is only one football :) . The one you call it soccer!

I love talking on the phone.

I did not go to college.

I work in a bank.

I am not a megalomaniac.
I tell jokes all the time.
I can make jokes.
I am a comedian.
I am not a professional comedian yet.
I play football. I am a football fan.

[Speaker 1] I think I will start college in a month

[Speaker 2] That is exciting. What collage are you going to attend?

[Speaker 1] I'm going to start out by just attending a local junior college. Have you attended any college?

[Speaker 2] What are you going to major in? Yes I have attended college but I do not use my degree, I am pursing a career as a comedian currently.

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure yet what I want to major in. I think Psychology sounds kind of interesting, but I'm not sure that I want to attend schools for as many years as I would need to attend in order to actually be able to work in the field. I'm going to start out by just taking GE classes. What did you major in? A career as a comedian sounds cool!

[Speaker 2] I actually majored in Psychology! I only have my Bachelor's. I decided not to go for my Master to pursue comedy but I would definitely recommend it. It is very interesting.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's quite a coincidence! I ttok a basic Psychology class in High School, and I really liked it. But from my research, it looks like I would definitely need at least a Master's degree if I wanted to actually use it. So I'll see.

[Speaker 2] Yes a Masters would be necessary to do a lot of things but you could also be a behavioral therapist with just a Bachelor's and an ABA which is what I originally wanted to pursue. That is now my backup if my comedy career does not work out.

[Speaker 1] A behavioral therapist might be interesting. What is an ABA? How do you pursue a career in comedy? Do you just try to get hired at local clubs to start out?

[Speaker 2] It is a Applied Behavior Analysis certificate, you just have to take a short program to get it. Right now I have a consistent club that I perform at and every now and then I branch out to other clubs.

[Speaker 1] Well, good luck with your pursuit! And thanks for the info on the ABA. That's definitely something to consider because I really do think Psychology is an interesting field. Maybe, along with my GE, I'll take a couple of Psych classes to see if I really do want to pursue it. What were your favorite GE classes in college?

[Speaker 2] My focus of study was brain abnormalities. I really enjoyed my brain and behavior classes.

I love talking on the phone.

I did not go to college. I am considering starting college in a month. I am going to attend a local junior college. I don't know what I want to major in. I think psychology is interesting but I don't know if I want to spend as many years in school as a psychology career requires. I'm taking GE classes. I liked the basic psychology class I took in high school.

I work in a bank.

I am not a megalomaniac.

I tell jokes all the time. I can make jokes. I am a comedian. I am not a professional comedian yet. I mostly perform comedy at one club, and occasionally branch out to others.

I play football. I am a football fan.

I have a college degree but don't use it. I have a bachelor's in psychology. I think psychology is interesting. I originally wanted to be a behavioral therapist. I plan to do that if my comedy career does not work out. My focus of study in college was brain abnormalities. I enjoyed brain and behavior classes.

[Speaker 1] I just picked my classes for school and I'm taking some basic psychology!

[Speaker 2] Thats awesome!  are you still considering it for your major, or maybe just a minor?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I am still considering it. I think it's interesting but I don't know if I want to spend that long in school to get the degree.

[Speaker 2] It can be tough because you dont always wind up where you hope.  plus you dont want all that debt if you are not sure.

[Speaker 1] You studied brain abnormalities as your focus on college that sounds very interesting. Your comedy career seems interesting as well I don't know very many comedians.

[Speaker 2] Its fun being a comedian.  I get to poke fun of myself and others. and I get to do a bit of traveeling and meet new people which is nice.  But if it ever doesnt pan out I have that degree to fall back on.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that sounds like a solid plan. I need to come up with a plan like that but I am still not quite sure if college is even right for me. I am all over the place when it comes to picking a career. I wish I had a time machine so I could see the future and see what would be best for me in the long run. I have a hard time just jumping into something which often causes me to miss the boat.

[Speaker 2] I am the same way but I decided to stick it out at school.  There are times where I wsih I didnt beacuse I have those student loans, but I think its better to make a choice and live with it than flop back and forth.  It can be hard to be decisive.

[Speaker 1] Yeah you're probably right, I would have a hard time though 5-10 years into it just hating my life doing the same thing day in day out wishing so bad that I had chose a different path. Guess if I don't take that initial leap I'll never find out. Who knows maybe I'll get lucky and end up picking something I really enjoy and that gives me some meaning in my life.

[Speaker 2] and the great thing about life is, if your not happy you can change.  It may not be easy but you can try for a fresh start and do something different!

[Speaker 1] Yeah that's definitely true, maybe since I like hiking so much if all else fails I could get certifications in hiking and teach hiking classes of some kind. That would be cool and something I enjoy as well.

[Speaker 2] excatly!  you may not know what you want to do so dont be afraid to try new things and get out there!


I like animals.

I really like cafe latte like they serve in france.

I think I'm getting engaged soon.

Certain things freak me out.

My mom is very I will.

I just got out of the hospital so I've accumulated some debt.

When I was younger I ran everyday.

It is difficult for me to eat.

[Speaker 1] Hi, how is your day? My cow is annoying me!

[Speaker 2] It is ok. You have a cow? That's really cool!

[Speaker 1] Its a cat that is black and white. Do you have a cow?

[Speaker 2] Haha. That is so cute! I don't have any pets. Too sick.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, you should drink french vanilla coffee. Its my favorite!

[Speaker 2] I cannot with my diabetes. I wish I could. Plus it is very expensive.

[Speaker 1] My boyfriend I have dated for ten years makes a lot of money.

[Speaker 2] Lucky. Could you pay off my medical bills?

[Speaker 1] Sure! Oh my, I felt chalk for the first time today and it was nasty.

[Speaker 2] Nasty? I don't know about that. But if you say so. Lol

[Speaker 1] Tell me more about yourself. What do you like?

[Speaker 2] I liked to run. I wish I could still run.

[Speaker 1] What was the longest you ever ran?

[Speaker 2] I ran a half marathon at disney world!

[Speaker 1] That is so cool! Was it hard?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I had horrible shin splints! I miss it.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you this evening?

[Speaker 2] Hello, I am fine thank you. I am just finishing my chores.

[Speaker 1] I am as well. Can you tell me a bit about yourself?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I am from the year 1860. I was brought here as a slave.

[Speaker 1] Interesting! I'm myself a senior citizen and from that era. Any kids?

[Speaker 2] I'm married to a fellow slave and we had two children together.

[Speaker 1] My husband was a career solider and we have 4 kids.

[Speaker 2] Wonderful! I should clarify. My wife and I both escaped after 10 years as slaves.

[Speaker 1] That's incredibly disheartening to hear.

[Speaker 2] Well we escaped and met again 10 years later and were married. We are happy.

[Speaker 1] That's good! Any grandkids yet?

[Speaker 2] Both of our children had babies. We have 5 granddaughters and two grandsons.

[Speaker 1] My husband and I've grandkids that range from 7 to 30. There are 10 total.

[Speaker 2] Grandchildren are a blessing! I bet you enjoy them!

[Speaker 1] They sure are. We do! There are 8 girls and 2 boys.

[Speaker 2] What jobs do you and your family hold?

I am a senior citizen. I am from the 1860's.

My husband was a career soldier. I have 4 kids.

We have 10 grandkids. They range from 7 to 30.

We have 8 granddaughters and 2 grandsons.

I am a slave. I was born in 1860.

I am married to another slave. I have two kids.

We have 5 granddaughters and 2 grandsons.

[Speaker 1] How are you and your grandkids doing?

[Speaker 2] They are good. All the girls tend to pick on the 2 boys, but they put up with it because we are family and that is what love is all about. You have quite a few yourself now! How are they doing?

[Speaker 1] They are good too, running around all the time, exhausting this old body!

[Speaker 2] Oh I believe it! We are old souls and we have both been through a lot. The younger generation may never understand the struggles. How is your husband feeling these days?

[Speaker 1] Thanks for asking, he has been struggling too but we get by. What else is new with you?

[Speaker 2] We moved to Louisiana about 2 years ago. The whole family eventually made their way over here. My son just began a job delivering mail and he is gone often due to the job, but it pays very well and between him and my oldest granddaughter's job, they pay all the bills so that we can live comfortably. If you and your husband ever pass through here, please stop by and visit - all the kids loved hearing his old war stories! He is such a great storyteller.

[Speaker 1] I love hearing his stories. How does your son like delivering the mail?

[Speaker 2] He enjoys it, but like I said, it is very long hours. From dawn until dusk sometimes he is gone, and his daughters do miss him dearly while he is out. But he is a smart young man and he does what is best for the rest of the family, which we are very grateful for. Are any of your grandkids in the workforce?

[Speaker 1] They are in the workforce and are hard workers. We instilled that in them. When should we come visit?

[Speaker 2] That is great to hear - you always raised them well. I will have to check with my son to see when he can get some days off so that we can have everyone together while you are here. Do you have any plans in April? That is prime weather here in Louisiana. Not too hot, but not cold either!

[Speaker 1] Let's plan on that, haven't been out to Lousisana in a while. What should we do there?

[Speaker 2] That happens to be a great time of year to fish. It is one of the few activities I can still really do being so old! I'm sure you know how it is. We can take all the grandkids out to the lake and cook our catch into a huge dinner. I'm sure your husband will be on cooking duty.

My husband was a career soldier. I have 4 kids and 8 granddaughters and 2 grandsons. They range from 7 to 30.  My grandchildren have jobs.

I have not been to Louisiana in a while.

I was born in 1860.

I am married to another slave.

I was a slave for 10 years.

We have two kids, 5 granddaughters and 2 grandsons.

I have grandchildren.

I live in Louisiana. I moved there two years ago. My whole family lives in Louisiana. My son works long hours as a mail carrier.

[Speaker 1] I never asked you what made you move to Louisiana? I have started planning my trip to Louisiana for this April and I can't wait to see you.

[Speaker 2] Well, ever since the ware ended and we got emancipated, LA was giving out plots of land and me and Rosie couldn't turn it down.

[Speaker 1] Wow! What has life been like since you were emancipated?

[Speaker 2] It's been a lot better than it was. Still ain't all that safe for us though. But we have a pretty big community down here who watch out for each other.

[Speaker 1] I can imagine. That's why I got out of the South. Even though the war changed things, there was still so much mistreatment. That's not the kind of life I wanted for my children.

[Speaker 2] We had that option, but me and a lot of the other people felt like we should make a stand, them boys just gotta accept they lost and if we run, they'll think they won.

[Speaker 1] I admire your strength. You are so right about taking a stand. What do you all do to keep safe?

[Speaker 2] Well, my wife is very big into the voodoo and she's been puttin hexes on anyone that comes around lookin to start trouble. I ain't into all that but it scares em off just as well.

[Speaker 1] Ha! Your wife's a good one. Don't nobody want to mess with a curse, that's for sho.

[Speaker 2] You know it, I tell her she needs to leave that stuff alone before she wakes up somethin serious.

[Speaker 1] That's our heritage, though. She's just practicing what they did on the motherland.

[Speaker 2] I suppose. But we been going to church a lot and the good book warns us about them things

[Speaker 1] It's pink bubble gum flavor!  What do you think?

[Speaker 2] Sounds delicious! I want to try it.

[Speaker 1] I hope my customers feel the same way!

[Speaker 2] You should consider selling your cupcakes online.

[Speaker 1] I have considered it but I think I do better when people can smell the sugar.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. Maybe you could sell them at the diner I work at.

[Speaker 1] Hey, that would be a great lead for me.  I would appreciate getting your boss' name and contact information.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I'll give him your number and have him give you a call.

[Speaker 1] Good. I thin my cupcakes are really good and I hope to be of service to you all.

[Speaker 2] Did you ever end up making that bubblegum flavor one? Don't worry, I put in a good word for you. I'm your biggest cupcake fan.

[Speaker 1] I found a good way to incorporate buddlegum flavored sprinkles on top. I hope that is ok?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that does sound good! I've got to try one.  Have you tried contacting some other diners and try to sell you cupcakes to them?

[Speaker 1] Not yet. I hope to be successful with you all and then I can use you as an example of the popularity and quality of my product. I can't wait!

[Speaker 2] I will remind her tomorrow if she still hasn't called you.  Our last dessert vendor went out of business, so our diner has been with sweets for some time.

[Speaker 1] Oh no. Are sweets a popular option at your diner?

[Speaker 2] They are! Everyone seems to want something sweet after their meal. I always try to encourage it too, to get extra tips.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome. It also seems like a win-win for both of us. I would appreciate it if you could follow up with her. For tips of course!

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah I definitely will! Although, if we start having your cupcakes, I'm sure it'll be a little bad for my waisteline, since you know I'm going to have to eat a million of them!

[Speaker 1] What about recycling? Do you recycle?

[Speaker 2] I tried but always forgot to put it on the curb on the right day. You?

[Speaker 1] I always recycle. I would never forget to put it out on the right day.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I'm easily distracted so I'm always forgetting things.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite outdoor activity?

[Speaker 2] Probably basketball because I can hang with all my friends. You?

I am in college. I live in California.
I am a trans woman.
I always recycle.

I am in college. I am very athletic.

I am a man. I am looking for a romantic relationship.

I have lots of friends.

I enjoy the outdoors.

Basketball is my favourite outdoor activity.

[Speaker 1] I recently graduated from college!

[Speaker 2] Congratulations! Bet you're celebrating with lots of time outdoors.

[Speaker 1] I celebrated out side during the full moon.  Then I went and did some recycling.

[Speaker 2] Lol, you know me and recycling! I just got back from a trip to my recycling center.

[Speaker 1] It takes effort to recycle.  Imagine, some people work out in a gym when they could just sort trash.

[Speaker 2] Well, now that you've graduated you get a job at the recycling center. That was one of my first jobs. Do you have a job lined up yet?

[Speaker 1] Currently I volunteer at a non profit group.  We give basketballs to kids.  I love the joy it gives kids to hoop it up.

[Speaker 2] It's so nice to do something you love and I remember you like basketball. That's fantastic!

[Speaker 1] When it is cold out, what is your favorite outdoor activity?

[Speaker 2] Even if it's cold, I like to go on hikes. Do you hike?

[Speaker 1] Yes, on every hike I find some trash.  Know what I do with that?

[Speaker 2] Recycle it? lol! That's what I do. I always carry a recycling bag.

I live in California.

I am a trans woman.

I am a college graduate.

I volunteer at a basketball non-profit that works with kids.

I always recycle. I like to hike and pick up trash along the way.

I am in college.

I am an athletic man. I am looking for a romantic relationship.

I have lots of friends.

I am easily distracted and forget easily. I enjoy the outdoors. I like to hike.

One of my first jobs was at a recycling center.

[Speaker 1] You'll never believe how many recyclables I found along my last hike!

[Speaker 2] I still can't get over how much we have in common...how many recyclables did you find or how much did they weigh if you took them to a recycling center?

[Speaker 1] I know it is crazy right! Well I found 3 black bag full... Haven't taken it to the centre yet but it was disgraceful, This young generation have no respect for the environment. Are we still going to that basketball game next week?

[Speaker 2] Wow, 3 bags--that's a lot.  Just shows your dedication.  And yes, I plan to go next week if you're still on.  Meant to ask--how far away from me is the basketball non-profit where you work?  I'm looking for a volunteer activity and if it doesn't take me more than 30 minutes each way to get there and it's in the evening, I'd love to volunteer.

[Speaker 1] And shows there lack of respect! Sorry, rant over haha! This change I'm going through is a killer on the emotions side haha! Its about 25 minutes from you, they would love to have you there! Easy to talk to, good with kids and lets not forget your skills. You would be a hot with the kids!

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately, you can't blame it all on the younger generation.  I've seen plenty of older folks littering thoughtlessly and lots of them don't recycle at all.  Sounds like you're going to have a new volunteer!  If you can email the details of anything I need to know, I'll be ready to start!  Can't wait.

[Speaker 1] Ahh, your making me feel old now haha! Sounds like my grandma moaning lmao! remember when she used to shout at us haha! You can pop round for a tea this week if you want and we will have a chat about it! Only requirement is a DBS check but as long as you've never murdered any one you will be fine haha !

[Speaker 2] I know what you mean--the older I get, the more I sound like my parents!  And yes, I vividly remember your grandma shouting at us but we no doubt deserved it, LOL.  I'd love to stop by for tea and discuss the basketball stuff.  What day works best for you?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes 100% deserved... We never tell her that though bless her haha!! I am free any time except the evenings as that is when I am at the basketball. Your turn to bring the cakes!

[Speaker 2] How about Friday morning at 10?  And what kind of cakes do you want?

[Speaker 1] Sounds good to me! Anything with icing on, since Ive had this operation my sweet tooth is crazy.. Thank god I do all this basketball and hiking or I'd be a balloon right now. How's the love life looking?

[Speaker 2] Cakes with icing it is.  And love life?  What love life?!  Kidding aside, it's fine.  I've been dating but haven't really clicked with anyone yet.  Glad I'm so busy so I don't dwell on it.

[Speaker 2] I need to finish the digital illustrations I am working on.

[Speaker 1] Great. Does any of your work make it into video games? I love video games.

[Speaker 2] I am hoping to publish an illustrated version of a stephen king novel. My fav author

[Speaker 1] I do not want to work. I'm fine living with mom dad.

[Speaker 2] My husband writes books about our twins. I hope they stay forever too.

[Speaker 1] That would be great. I could babysit them and play video games with them.

[Speaker 2] I hope they develop a love of reading as that is my favourite hobby.

[Speaker 1] I mean not after they are grown up! They won't need a babysitter then! Lol

[Speaker 2] No. They still need a babysitter now though. I guess they could play video games.

[Speaker 1] That is all I do. And eat take out.

[Speaker 2] Well you should probably find a way to turn your video addiction into a profession.

[Speaker 1] Ugh, that would be a job.

[Speaker 2] Well that would be fun would it not?

I live with my parents.
I play video games.
I do not want a job.

I have twins.
I make digital illustrations.
My favorite author is stephen king.
My husband is an author.
Reading is my favorite hobby.

[Speaker 1] I found this childrens book about video games.

[Speaker 2] What age do you think it is suitable for children?

[Speaker 1] I think it's ok for age 9 plus, it's pretty easy to read and has lots of information about video games. Does your husband write children books?

[Speaker 2] no, he is a writer of horror stories. Are the video games you play about horror?

[Speaker 1] No, I play games like Minecraft, I don't think my parents would let me play horror games. I think there should be more books about video games, it would make me want to read more

[Speaker 2] wow! I think your idea is great. books about video games may attract more young readers!maybe you can develop your career on this

[Speaker 1] I don't want to work, I just want to play video games! Maybe I could work with an author and tell them about my games and they can write the book?

[Speaker 2] that could works, maybe I can talk about it with my husband. he maybe interest in it or maybe his friends will interest in.

[Speaker 1] Do your kids play video games as well?

[Speaker 2] They are too young for me to expose them to computer games.I often take them outside to play.

[Speaker 1] Ah ok, maybe when they are a bit older I can teach them how to play Minecraft?

[Speaker 2] yes, that's a good idea. Minecraft is very famous. I have heard of it .

I play video games.

I do not want a job.

I am interested in children's book on video games.

I live with my parents and they wont let me play horror games. I am looking for video games that will want me to read more. I like games like Minecraft.

I prefer to play and not work.

I have twins.

I make digital illustrations.

My favorite author is stephen king.

Reading is my favorite hobby.

I am curious to know about the age suitability for the children's book.

I love your idea about more books about video games improving readability.

My husband is a writer.

My kids are pretty young and I don't want to expose them to computer games.

I have heard of the Minecraft game.

[Speaker 1] I finally found a writer to write a book on video games for me

[Speaker 2] That is Wonderful!!  Do you know them personally or will you be meeting with them soon?

[Speaker 1] I found them through a mutual friend that worked on a book about horror movies with him a few months ago

[Speaker 2] I am excited for you to start. I have heard it can be a long process, the writing of books. How long do you anticipate the proccess for your first book?

[Speaker 1] I've been piecing together bits of research and information for a while now, so hopefully that will be a massive head start, I mainly just need someone to make it more structured.

[Speaker 2] Do you have a target range for your audience? I mean mostly the ages...7 and up?

[Speaker 1] I need to discuss that with the writer, but I was thinking of aiming around that age range, although I also liked the idea of aiming for adults since they have more money to spend aha, what age range do you think would be best? Do you ever have to think about age range when doing illustrations?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I do take into account the ages when I do illustrations. I also find that parents really appreciate when the illustration is friendly and more cartoon like. Parents love to purchase books for their children! and I think the combination of taking the modern video games and meshing them with literature is brillant.  Even though this is work for you, do you see it as more work or more enjoyment?\

[Speaker 1] I'll definitely take that into consideration, especially for a first book I think it could be easier to work towards kids as I won't to have as much technical stuff aha. I see it more as enjoyment, but we all need money so this way I make money, don't have to do loads of work and I'm doing something I enjoy doing so I don't feel pressured. Do you feel like that with your illustrations?

[Speaker 2] I do feel that way! When a person loves their work, it is no longer work. I look forward to my projects. I especially like when I can involve my kids, I get the privilege of working from home most of the time.

[Speaker 1] That sound amazing, how did you get started with illustrations?

[Speaker 2] I went to college for an art degree and fell in love with the digital tools. The more I explored that area, the more opportunities opened up.I am excited for you endeavor because I think a new world of possibilities will open to you

I do not want a job. I prefer to play and not work.

I am having a writer write a book on video games for me. I found the writer through a mutual friend. My friend and the writer worked on a book about horror movies.

I am considering aiming the book for ages 7 and up. I enjoy working on my book. I don't have that much other work to do.

I have twins.

My favorite author is stephen king. Reading is my favorite hobby.

My husband is a writer.

I have heard of the Minecraft game.

I do digital illustrations. I have illustrated cartoonish drawings for children's books. I love doing illustrations. I work from home most of the time.

I went to college for art.

[Speaker 1] My writer suggested that I ask you to do the cover art for our book.

[Speaker 2] Wow thats amazing to hear! Id be glad too! Do you have any ideas for me to start with?

[Speaker 1] First off, it should be something geared towards kids. It should have a somewhat cartoonish quality to it.

[Speaker 2] Well thats right up my alley! Do you have a theme yet?

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking that it might feature a video game console or a computer. What do you think it should look like?

[Speaker 2] Well im not big on the consoles. My kids are to young for games but i can read up. I do digital work so im very familiar with computers

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a plan. What are some other projects you've been working on lately?

[Speaker 2] Oh nothing much since working at home. I got a few commisions to do though which have been useful for the bills.

[Speaker 1] It must be nice to be able to work from home, though. It's great that you can set an example for your kids through your work!

[Speaker 2] Thank you, it has its ups and downs. I do enjoy the time spent with the kids though. Have you ever thought of a kid friendly horror book. I know we both enjoy that genre

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea! That might be a follow-up project to the video game book.

[Speaker 1] I would probably like hip hop more if I had not been born premature.

[Speaker 2] Uh, okie dokie, I am not sure what that means. Lol

[Speaker 2] I have a friend who tells me bits and pieces, I don't watch a lot of series because, once I start watching, I don't want to move from the sofa..lol..

[Speaker 1] Same! Luckily for me that's all I can do these days. Hows the single life treating you?

[Speaker 2] That's a good question. I've never been married so I don't have a comparison. I like my independence over all but I love going on dates too.  Is there a lot to do and explore in the city you live in?

[Speaker 1] How do you usually meet people? Do you use any dating apps? And there's tons to do here you should come visit!

[Speaker 2] I am quite social and I meet a lot of people in my work. But that's not wise to date them. I get to hang out with them often enough. I do use dating apps. I kind of enjoy the randomness feeling of getting to meet people like that. Have you ever used a dating app?

[Speaker 1] I have used them in the past but I got nervous there are phsycos on there that are not genuine! Do you ever feel that way or just me?

[Speaker 2] Oh, there are some definate crazies out there!!... If I don't feel comfortable meeting them in a public place, then I won't go.

[Speaker 1] I've been taking dance since I was very little.

[Speaker 2] You can dance well by now. My mother taught me how to p lay the piano.

[Speaker 1] How artistic. I'm looking for a musician to play at my wedding in paris

[Speaker 2] Wow. How much is the pay? Help me get out of my apartment.

[Speaker 1] We are paying 2000 but we will not cover travel

[Speaker 2] Well. That would be helpful but the travel expenses are a killer.

[Speaker 1] We are going to hire locally I guess

[Speaker 2] Yes that sounds about right. My mom teaches music

[Speaker 1] I don't suppose she lives in paris?

[Speaker 2] I wish cause that's where I would be. I need me a vacation.

My mother taught me how to play piano.
I live in an apartment.
My mom teaches Music.

[Speaker 1] Have you been practicing piano?

[Speaker 2] I have, my mom has been teaching me some new music to play. It's nice to have a bigger room for our piano in our new home.

[Speaker 1] Awesome, do you love the new home?

[Speaker 2] I do, it's much bigger than our old apartment so there's much more room for me and my brothers. It means I can come into a different room now to play the piano without annoying everyone!

[Speaker 1] Sounds pretty great, its nice to have your own space. I will be moving soon too! After I get married

[Speaker 2] Oh that's exciting! How long is it now until your wedding? You must be getting excited!

[Speaker 1] It will be this spring, we were thinking in June. I've actually been having a lot of anxiety about it. What do you do when your stressed out?

[Speaker 1] Do you feel all settled into your new placed yet?

[Speaker 2] Somewhat... It's so much bigger so I'm having trouble finding more furniture to outfit the new spot. Are you planning to move to a bigger place, or a smaller place?

[Speaker 1] No. I am pretty sure my wife and I are in our forever home. Plus I hate moving so we're pretty set. Are you liking the new place?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely. I finally have a spot to put my piano in, and I have a whole room for drawing now. I'm really excited. How are the wedding plans coming?

[Speaker 1] Great! The plans seem to include all of the family and friends so I am pleased with the outcomes so far. Are you interested in coming?

[Speaker 2] Of course! I've never been to Paris. What made you decide to have the wedding there?

[Speaker 1] It's where they fell in love. At this point, they just want to get a family started and they think this will be the only opportunity they have to visit paris before they start having kids.

[Speaker 2] Makes sense. I would love to visit the cafes in Paris and enjoy some French cuisine. Do they like to dance ballet in Paris?

[Speaker 1] I am not sure. They probably have a company but I am not aware of it.

[Speaker 2] I think one of my next cartoons is going to be about a ballet dancer trying to make the company. What was your experience like when you were first dancing?

[Speaker 1] Not good. I have no rythm so it is tough. What about you. Do you dance?

[Speaker 2] Oh no, I'm not a good dancer. I love playing the piano, but I have two left feet when it comes to dancing. Have you ever played an instrument?

My name is Tammy.  I am an only child.

I'm moving soon. I hate moving. I just got engaged. I am having a wedding in Paris in the Spring or in June. I am anxious about my wedding.

I have a wife and a house. I am planning to start having kids and want to get to visit Paris before settling down.

I'm having trouble finding furniture to fill it. I like my new home. I have a piano. I have room for drawing.

I have never been to Paris. I want to go to the wedding. I want to try French cuisine.

[Speaker 1] I've added you to the guest list for the wedding! I hope you'll be able to make it to Paris to celebrate with us!

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! When in spring are you holding the wedding? I'll have to start saving up for it.

[Speaker 1] We are leaning towards June, and we were thinking about the spring too. I'll make sure to get you the exact dates, so you have time to plan ahead. I was wondering if you've been drawing much lately?

[Speaker 2] I've had to take a break lately because I've been busy. I've been working on finishing a painting of mine that I've been doing for a year.

[Speaker 1] I was thinking of asking you maybe for a piece of your artwork, for my wedding gift. I thought maybe if I asked in far enough advance, you might have a chance to think it over.

[Speaker 2] What kind of artwork are you looking for? I do a lot of realistic landscapes, but if it's up to my ability I'd be happy to gift you a piece.

[Speaker 1] Maybe we can look through a few pictures on facebook, from the past few years. I like landscapes with a little life in them. I appreciate your craft!

[Speaker 2] Thank you so much! I appreciate the compliment. Do you want a certain kind of scene in particular? Like mountains, a meadow, or a farm? Or people?

[Speaker 1] You're very curious and eager! That's a lot of questions in a row... we'll figure it out on the way perhaps. Mostly I want it to be something that reflects your personality, and perhaps a sense of hope for the future of our wedding. .

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a wonderful idea. I get overeager sometimes when someone appreciates my talent. Do you have a theme/venue for the wedding already?

[Speaker 1] We have three that we are curious about, yet I want to spend a bit more time in the buildings to get a feel first. And moving soon too, well, you know my feelings about moving.

[Speaker 2] I can't stand moving either. I did end up finding some furniture from the thrift store to round out my apartment. It's almost too much space for me though really.

[Speaker 2] Yes there are many nice places to honeymoon in Florida. How is married life?

[Speaker 1] Things feel a lot more serious and "official" now but it's honestly not much different from when we were dating.

[Speaker 2] I don't have a boyfriend so I don't know much about dating.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure you'll find someone in time, just gotta keep yourself open! Is there anyone you're interested in at work?

[Speaker 2] Sure there are lots of interesting people at Nasa.

[Speaker 1] I bet! I'm sure my most interesting day as a waitress doesn't even hold a candle to a relatively mundane day for you.

[Speaker 2] Is that how you met your husband? At work?

[Speaker 1] We don't work together, but I did meet him for the first time while I was on duty.

[Speaker 1] Of course!  I am not out of the service yet and I have an "official" wedding to slim down for!  Plus I've got to run off the free drinks at the club!  Do you work at Cape Canaveral, or somewhere else in Florida?

[Speaker 2] How exciting! Maybe some day I'll get married! Right now I'm too busy with NASA, haha. I work at Cape Canaveral, yes.

[Speaker 1] Well, I'm still here in Houston, so we have NASA in common!  Any chance you will be moving to Houston?  I have an apartment to sublet!

[Speaker 2] 4 year old. He says my mommy doesn't love me haha

[Speaker 1] That's a funny thing to say

[Speaker 2] I am originally from baton rouge where were you born?

[Speaker 1] Maryland. It is beautiful there.

[Speaker 2] I have never been there. I'm a chef.

[Speaker 1] Where do you cook at

[Speaker 2] I cook for a caterer. What do you do?

[Speaker 1] I work in a hospital

[Speaker 2] I do not work in public because I'm embarrassed by my male pattern baldness

[Speaker 1] Can you not wear a wig

[Speaker 2] Oh lord no. A toupee?

[Speaker 1] Why not? At least you could go out.

[Speaker 2] I just am weird like that I guess. I go out just not a lot.

I was born in Maryland.
I work in a hostpital.

I have a parrot.

My parrot is 4-years-old.

I'm originally from Baton Rouge.

I have never been to Maryland. I am a chef.

I cook for a caterer.

I can not wear a wig.

I don't go out that much.

[Speaker 1] How is your parrot doing?

[Speaker 2] The parrot is doing great. How has work been?

[Speaker 1] my work is OK. It's been a little busy lately, but I can handle it. why you can't wear a wig?

[Speaker 2] I am guessing the heat of it or something in the materials. It breaks my head out. How is the weather in Maryland? I have family in Philadelphia and and I know its been really cold there. It's been chilly here in Florida.

[Speaker 1] it's frozen here.Actually, I'm quite afraid of the cold, and you?

[Speaker 2] I am not afraid of the cold. I just don't particularly like it. But with the heat come summer here I would prefer cold to it. I can bundle up to get warm, not much I can do to keep cool though. n do

[Speaker 1] as a chef do you have any suggest of what kind of food can keep me warm to fight the cold ?

[Speaker 2] Soups and stews would probably be really good. And if you bake something the oven can warm the house while you are cooking.

[Speaker 1] you are right, the cafeteria in our hospital supply soups but not delicious .

[Speaker 2] Make some at home and take it with you. If you have a break room, you could even take some in a crock pot and keep it warm. Others may eat it all on you though.

[Speaker 1] great idea. I'll find some recipe online and try to cook by myself.

[Speaker 2] There on tons of recipes online. Soups are really pretty easy to make also with pretty much whatever you have on hand.

I was born in Maryland.

I work in a hostpital.

I live in Maryland. I am afraid of the cold.

I have a parrot.

My parrot is 4-years-old.

I'm originally from Baton Rouge.

I can not wear a wig.

I don't go out that much.

[Speaker 1] What are your favorite recipes to cook?

[Speaker 2] I really like to eat and cook Chinese food. My all time favourite dish to cook is Chow Mein. What is your favourite dish to eat or cook?

[Speaker 1] I love Chinese food too. It's difficult to get good asian food in Maryland. How is the asian food scene in Florida?

[Speaker 2] Yes it's actually really good. Florida is a total melting pot. There are a few good Chinese shops near me so that's always good. What's your favourite Chinese dish?

[Speaker 1] Probably Kung Pao Chicken. So good! I love any kind of noodles too. I'll have to visit Florida for some food and sunshine some time. How's your day been?

[Speaker 2] Good choice. I actually made that last week for a wedding I was catering. I would totally recommend it for a vacation , I might even cook for you! I haven't done much yet today to be honest, I need to go into work in a few hours. What about you?

[Speaker 1] Oh that would be amazing! You spoil me. Pretty lazy day for me too. What does your parrot get up to while you're at work? I'll bet that would make for an entertaining live cam

[Speaker 2] Hugh has the run of my place while I'm at work. He is really well behaved but parrots don't really like being on their own so it's good I only work for a few hours at a time. I make sure he has snacks and lots of toys and that keeps him entertained. You ever think of getting a pet?

[Speaker 1] That was why I asked - I don't know a lot about parrots but I know they like company. I have been, actually. A dog is out of the question since I hate the cold, but ironically either a cat or a bird might suit me well!

[Speaker 2] A parrot is definitely a big commitment - some of them can live as long as 80 years ! But a pet having a pet is amazing I like having someone to talk to so I'm not lonely in the house.

[Speaker 1] Working in the hospital can keep some kind of weird hours which is lonely so a pet seems like a good idea. Maybe a cat is a smarter decision for a first time pet owner!

[Speaker 2] Yeah that sounds good. I had a cat growing up in Baton Rouge. It didn't like me much though!

I was born in Maryland.

I work in a hostpital.

I love Chinese food. My favourite disk is Kung Pao Chicken.

I have a parrot named Hugh.  My parrot is 4-years-old.

I'm originally from Baton Rouge. I have never been to Maryland. I am a chef for a caterer.

I have male pattern baldness and it embarrasses me. I can not wear a wig.

I don't go out that much. I live in Florida. I have family in Philadelphia.

I like to eat and cook Chinese food. My favourite dish is Chow Mein.

[Speaker 1] How was the drive to work.

[Speaker 2] Pretty uneventful. Last week though, I saw a really bad wreck and it was pretty awful. Made me sick to my stomach. I prefer the days when everything seems to be going alright. How are your patients doing?

[Speaker 1] They're doing all right! Some of my patients were discharged today. That's always nice to see.

[Speaker 2] I am so glad to hear that. You never did say what type of hospital that you actually work at. Is it like an ER type situation or are you taking care of sick kids or something?

[Speaker 1] I am a nurse and I do rounds in a general hospital. Many of my patients are recovering from surgery.

[Speaker 2] Ahh ok. That is probably a lot less stressful than like working in a childrens cancer ward or something.

[Speaker 1] Definitely! I tried to work in the ER earlier in my career, and it just wasn't for me. It was way too stressful.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine. I always wondered about that. I never had the nerve to ask you. Sometimes people don't like when I pry. I am glad that your patients are doing well. That means the doctors are doing a good job haha

[Speaker 1] Well, sometimes it can be awkward when people ask doctors and nurses questions like "what was the worst thing you've ever seen?" That can bring up really bad memories, so you definitely should never ask that.

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I will avoid that for all time now. I think that really it is illegal to give out that info anyway. Like Hippa laws or something

[Speaker 1] Sure. Well, it wouldn't breach HIPAA unless it was connected with a patient's identifying information. But it's still not a great idea!

[Speaker 2] I agree. I don't like having people ask what was the weirdest food request we have ever gotten. It doesn't seem like it would get the best answers, but it is a very common question. Oh, and what is the strangest thing you ever walked in on. Because we do get called to do jobs and then things don't go right. Someone forgot to tell someone else and you get to show up and be like hi I'm here.


I am taking courses online.

I work as a contractor for a cab company.

I like ice cream.

I love rock music.

I love dogs.

[Speaker 2] I'd love to go to a rock concert but I'm single

[Speaker 1] I go to school online, I hope to have a long lasting career.

[Speaker 2] I work online as a professional gamer, which has been a great career

[Speaker 1] That sounds interesting. In my spare time I drive a cab.

[Speaker 2] I've never ridden in a cab, mainly because I love my dogs

[Speaker 1] I'm a cat person. But I bet you enjoy ice cream, it is my favorite.

[Speaker 2] I enjoy ice cream while I play league of legends. Its a treat

[Speaker 1] I am online a lot I may check that game out.

[Speaker 2] I love to play it, but that could be because its part of my job too.

[Speaker 1] It is nice when you enjoy your job, driving a cab can be fun as well.

[Speaker 2] Do you allow dogs in your cab?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes, dogs scare me if I do not have a relationship with them

[Speaker 2] I think that's why I'm single, I have 5 dogs

[Speaker 1] Maybe you should hang out in a dog park and find another dog person.

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. My job keeps me pretty tied up and traveling too

I love rock concerts.

I go to school online.

I drive a cab.

I'm a cat person.  Dogs scare me. Ice cream is my favorite.

I am taking courses online.

I'm single.
I work online as a professional gamer
I play league of legends.
I have 5 dogs.

[Speaker 1] Have you played any tournaments in the last 2 days?

[Speaker 2] No, but I've been putting a lot of practice in. What about you? Pick up any interesting clients in your cab?

[Speaker 1] Yes I picked up a gamer the other day. They were on their way to a tournament.

[Speaker 2] They probably don't play League then unless there's a tournament coming up that I missed. You play any games yourself?

[Speaker 1] No I only take online classes.

[Speaker 2] Probably don't have much free time then. What kind of classes did you say you were taking?

[Speaker 1] Business classes. I want to own a cab company.

[Speaker 2] Thinking of taking over the one you're working at or starting your own?

[Speaker 1] Indeed. How much do you make as a professional gamer?

[Speaker 2] It varies. Certain tournaments have really big payouts but you gotta win the whole thing.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good business to be in

[Speaker 2] It takes a lot of practice and devotion. Not always going to win those big pots or even anything at all so payouts can be a bit sporadic.

I love rock concerts.

I go to school online.

I drive a cab.

I'm single.

I work online as a professional gamer

I play league of legends.

I have 5 dogs.

I play professional tournaments. I practice a lot, my pay is sporadic and depends on winning.

[Speaker 1] I just signed up for another business class, my school is doing discounted offers at the moment. How are your dogs?

[Speaker 2] They're great! I think I need to get larger space for them though. When does the class start?

[Speaker 1] They start next semester. It seems like a long ways away but it will be here before you know it. Are you interested in going with me?

[Speaker 2] I am actually! Money is a little tight at the moment, though. Is it a good discount?

[Speaker 1] Yeah. I got in at a good rate. You should check it out and see if it fits into your budget.

[Speaker 2] I definitely will! Send me the link and I'll look over it. Are you taking the class to help you learn to manage the business?

[Speaker 1] I am taking macro economics to start with and then will narrow down the focus once I can figure out what interests me.

[Speaker 2] Ah ok. Is there anything in there about finance and accounting? I think I need to learn that to help me manage the ups and downs of my income.

[Speaker 1] There is. There are a bunch of great apps for that though. I would look at YNAB. It has helped me afford things like... well, this class.

[Speaker 2] That sounds exactly like something I need! Thanks! How long did it take you to save for the class?

[Speaker 1] It took about 3 months. I was able to cut down on a lot so that helped.

[Speaker 2] 3 months is actually pretty fast all things considered. And I'm sure the discount certainly helped.

I love rock concerts.

I go to school online. I drive a cab. I take business classes, I want to take over the company I work for.

I just signed up for another business class because the price is discounted. My classes start next semester. I am taking macro economics. I want to narrow my focus when I decide what interests me.

I use apps to manage my finances. It took three months to save up enough to take classes.

I'm single.

I work online as a professional gamer

I play league of legends.

I have 5 dogs.

I have dogs. I want a larger space for them.

I am interested in taking discounted classes. I want to learn to manage the ups and downs of my income. I want to look into finance managing apps.

[Speaker 1] Are there any League tournaments coming up that you're going to be playing in?

[Speaker 2] There are a few coming up in the next months. They are so spread out that I cannot depend on them for a regular income. I have to learn a new skill. Can you help me out with finance apps on which I can earn some money.

[Speaker 1] Yeah i use banking apps for financial advice. I use Chase Bank to do financial planning and savings. I also trade stocks using Webull. I will recommend business school if you want to take classes.

[Speaker 2] I think I have to take classes if I need to learn a new skill. Are these classes expensive and how long do these courses take to complete.

[Speaker 1] It depends what skill you want to learn. If you want to learn a trade skill Trade school cost around 30k for the whole education which takes about 2 years. Business school takes up to 4 and cost a little more.

[Speaker 2] Wow. That is a lot of money and time. Is there some certificate course which I can take which will help me earn money.

[Speaker 1] With trade school you can become an apprentice where you work while you learn so you basically go to school for free.

[Speaker 2] That should work. Looks like that is what I should venture into. Will have to decide soon as to what trade to choose. Any suggestions?

[Speaker 1] It depends what you enjoy. You could go into being an electrician, you could do plumbing, or become a mechanic for AC or vehicles. Personally i'd do plumbing because its a simple job and you can get paid 6 figures a year. Even more if you start your own business.

[Speaker 2] Plumbing sounds interesting. I really want to start a business of my own really at some time. So let me work on that and start revving things up a bit so that I can decide fast. I really appreciate your help on this. Valuable advice.

[Speaker 1] No problem at all. How are your dogs doing?

[Speaker 2] My lovely dogs are fine. I spend so much time with them. My dogs are so lovely that they won't scare you.


I like to bake.

I make the greatest dessert all my friends say so.

[Speaker 1] Do you also play with them? I don't have any pets but like to have a dog one day

[Speaker 2] Yes I do play with them. Their favorite thing to do is chase a lazer dot around. Having a dog would be fun. What kind of dog would you want to have?

[Speaker 1] That's sound a lot of fun. I like a bigger dog such as German Shepherd. Do you also like dogs?

[Speaker 2] German Shepards are fun. I do like dogs.

[Speaker 1] Do you think dogs make better pets than cats or not?

I do not need information on a car right now.

[Speaker 1] I got to take some really interesting photos the other day in the snow.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. What kind of photos did you take in the snow?

[Speaker 1] There were a group of kids dragging each other around on sleds so I got them to let me take a few shots, you had much snow up your way?

[Speaker 2] That sounds really fun. Yeah we've had quite a bit of snow up here. I've been going snow shoeing a lot, so it's been fantastic for that. I'm also a big skier and there's been powder every time I go on the mountain. Have you been doing any other outdoor activities in the snow?

[Speaker 1] Down here in Kenosha about the only outdoor stuff is head out on Lake Michigan. Do a bit of ice skating and stuff. I was hoping to get you to send me that bread recipe again, I can't remember where I put it

[Speaker 2] Will do. I love baking bread, especially during the winter months when it's cold outside. There's something so fantastic about freshly baked bread when the snow is coming down. Have you ever baked bread before?

[Speaker 1] No, I've always been too nervous but I remember you saying that bread was the best place to start.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's not too complicated. It's a lot of work, but I think the results are worth it. Are there any other foods you're interested in learning how to cook? I could definitely help you out with those as well. It helps me keep my teaching skills sharp!

[Speaker 1] Well, now that you mention it, what do you think is the best way to poach eggs, all at once or one at time?

[Speaker 2] Definitely all at once. It can be a little trickier, but it's definitely a time saver. I can teach you a good technique I know that will help you out with that.

[Speaker 1] Nice, my mom used to swirl the water and do them one at a time but my boyfriend was picking at me the last time I cooked them for doing it like that

[Speaker 2] Haha. I think there's a bunch of different ways to do it. I'll show you one way that works well for me. Have you put any more thought into getting a dog?


I am an older guy.

I like to look younger.
I've never had a job.

I don't like gardening.

[Speaker 1] Have you tried this new face cream that has great reviews for better skin?

[Speaker 2] Is the brand of the face cream the one you mentioned before, Ween? I do need to try a new regimen soon.

[Speaker 1] It is not. Ween is my favorite band. This new face cream is called Revive. It works great. My skin is glowing!

[Speaker 2] oh i mis read lol that is funny, ok good to know I will look into that cream. I want glowing skin too! What type of music does that band play?

[Speaker 1] The cream makes you look younger too! The band plays hard rock. It is my husband's favorite band as well. We love going to their concerts. Have you been to a concert before?

[Speaker 2] I have been to many concerts not the rock type though, I don't have that brain capacity for that level of sound, lol. I have been to many jazz concerts before though.

[Speaker 1] Jazz is definitely an underrated type of music. I wish jazz would come back in style. What's your favorite jazz band?

[Speaker 2] Oddly enough my uncles band surpasses them all, probably because I've been to a million of his shows since I was young but his band is called the ease

[Speaker 1] Oh I'll have to look them up! That sounds great

[Speaker 2] I will open my mind and look into the bank Ween as well, maybe ill feel differently now. Thanks for the face cream recommendation, are they a natural brand?

[Speaker 1] Yes! Natural brand. Very refreshing and reviving.

[Speaker 2] Ok good, I can not use any harsh chemicals on my skin or I will turn as red as a tomato

Ween is both my and my husband's favorite band. We love Ween concerts.

I like art.

I enjoy jazz.

I have a garden.

I tried a new face cream called Revive that makes my skin glow.

I like to look younger.

I've never had a job.

I have a degree in fashion design.

I don't like gardening.

I don't like loud music. I prefer jazz concerts over rock concerts.

My uncle's band The Ease is my favorite jazz group.

[Speaker 1] Did you try Revive yet? Is your skin glowing?

[Speaker 2] I just tried it for the first time this morning, so my skin isn't glowing just yet.  How long did it take for you to see a difference in your skin?

[Speaker 1] I noticed a difference after about a week of using it. It works really well though, I feel radiant! Have you worked on any new fashion designs?

[Speaker 2] That's great!  I like the cream and I'll keep using it to see what happens.

[Speaker 1] I hope it works out well for you, my skin feels soft and glowing. I've been working on a few paintings lately, I've taken inspiration from one of the Ween concerts my husband and I attended!

[Speaker 2] What an amazing source of inspiration!  Do you think you'll keep them or sell them?  I'm trying to work on my fashion designs, but I'm having trouble coming up with inspiration right now.

[Speaker 1] I draw alot of inspiration from the music I listen to, it gets those "creative" juices flowing. I think I'm actually going to keep this particular piece. It's on a very large canvas and will work really well for the wall space in the living room. I've been trying out different colors of neon and how they interact with multi-colored lighting. Is there any particular style of fashion you enjoy? Like Asian, Middle Eastern, Etc? Maybe use some pictures to get inspiration from!

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea!  I really like middle eastern fashions with lots of flowing fabrics.  Maybe I should do a search for some pictures.  Or maybe I should look for inspiration from music, like you!  Maybe some jazz would help spark some creativity.

[Speaker 1] I highly recommend it! I'm a fan of Asian fashion myself, I really enjoy the floral patterns. I recommend looking up "Rita and the Playboys" they are kind of underground Jazz but they are amazing. They have a really bombastic sound with alot of energy and soul!

I like art.

I enjoy jazz.

I have a garden.

I am a painter. My paintings are inspired a lot from the music I listen to.I like Asian fashion and floral patterns. I like jazz music.

I've never had a job.

I have a degree in fashion design.

I don't like gardening.

I have sensitive skin. I want to try a new skincare regimen. I want glowing skin. I used a skin care product called Revive. I like to look younger.

I am a fashion designer. I like middle eastern fashion.

[Speaker 1] Music can be a good motivator but so can scenery. When's the last time you went for a walk?

[Speaker 2] I went last weekend for a small walk around a lake.  I find the lake very peaceful.  I like being outdoors just have to make sure I use the proper sunscreen so I don't burn.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely.  As you know, I am pretty particular about my skin and the sun can be so damaging. Do you listen to music while you walk or just take in the sounds of nature?

[Speaker 2] I like to take in the sounds of nature.  I really enjoy listening to the birds and the wind.  Do you like being in the outdoors or only when working your garden?

[Speaker 1] I do love my garden, but I don't love the outdoors all the time.  I just find that being inside and painting is where I find my special place.  I will paint outside occasionally, but it has to be perfect weather.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine.  Rain and humidity will not mix with the paint. LOL.  You said your music inspires your art, so are you an abstract artist?

[Speaker 1] I feel like I have a more impressionistic style.  I still crave some form, but I feel that it's more free flowing in terms of the textures and colors I use.  Have you ever painted?

[Speaker 2] I like to play around with pastels and acrylics.  What textures and medium do you use?

[Speaker 1] You can never go wrong with acrylics, but I like oils as well.  The oils are sort of the standard for my style.  I am so excited you paint too!  I knew about your designing so you know art is just in your blood!

[Speaker 2] Art is in my blood.  I really enjoy the creative outlet it gives me.  We should get together sometime and paint.

[Speaker 1] I have extra space in my little art room and plenty of room for another easel!  Does your uncle's band have any albums?  Maybe you could bring one for us to listen to while we paint?

[Speaker 2] Yes, he does and I would be happy to bring one.  Just let me know when works for you.


I like the open road.

I like to participate in sports that require speed and agility.

[Speaker 1] Greetings from europe! I wish I could show you all my photographs.

[Speaker 2] Me too! I bet they're very good

[Speaker 1] All this traveling has been exhausting, but I love it. What have you been up to?

[Speaker 2] Traveling is exhausting. Just playing watching some esports

[Speaker 1] I've heard that gets really competitive. Being an international chef can be competitive too.

[Speaker 2] Oh ya? What kind of food do you cook?

[Speaker 1] Mostly pies, but I am pretty versatile. What do you do when you aren't on the computer?

[Speaker 2] Run or swim. I like to keep my heart healthy

[Speaker 1] Especially playing esports, its good to get outside. I do a lot of gardening to get outside.

[Speaker 2] That's cool. Ya I don't play a lot of video games. Its just cool to watch

[Speaker 2] I like to sing, do you?

[Speaker 1] Nope, I work as an engineer for software

[Speaker 2] Your job seems better than my silly coffee house job.

[Speaker 1] Google is the company that I go to. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I'm a student at michigan state

[Speaker 1] Are you nearby seattle? I reside there

[Speaker 2] Not really, my home town is quite far away.

[Speaker 1] Oh, michigan. That is awesome

[Speaker 1] What major are you taking?

[Speaker 2] That is great. I sing some tunes from it. My favourite is Dear Old Shiz. Do you know it?

[Speaker 1] No, I haven't heard of it. What's it about?

[Speaker 2] It is about Glinda. You will love it. Have you planned already when you will go to see it?

[Speaker 1] Not yet. I've got a bit of a busy schedule unfortunately. Any plans to see a show in your future?

[Speaker 2] I think I will go next week maybe. I try to go once per month. Working as scientist, I have the weekend free. What about you at Google?

[Speaker 1] Going through a bit of a crunch at Google or at least feels that way. Hard to find free time.

I love lobster.

I live in Seattle.

I have not seen a broadway show.

I would like to see Wicked show.

I have busy schedule.

I think lobster is rubbery.

[Speaker 1] My boss just told me that I need to stay extra four hours to not miss the deadlines at work.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that is a bummer! It seems like you can't catch a break over at Google!

[Speaker 1] Tell me about it! At least it's rewarding work though. How's your job going? I hope it's not quite as demanding as mine!

[Speaker 2] I just finished my class and will be heading to work shortly. I have a long shift tonight and we often have college kids pack in for open mic poetry night too.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that's cool! How often are the open mic nights?

[Speaker 2] It has a pretty cool vibe. We have it every week but the days can change depending on the weather and the size of the crowd. The management decided that we have to have at least 25 people in the cafe to host the poetry reading.

[Speaker 1] I love poetry, it would be nice to attend something like that in the future! That's a lot of people, it must be quite stressful for you on those nights. Do you ever take part in the open mic night?

[Speaker 2] Yes, it can get really loud in there. I have never performed because I am super shy and hate speaking in large groups. Would you want to join me at the next one?

[Speaker 1] If you lived nearer to me and I could ever get away from work, I would have loved to. That's a shame that you don't perform, but totally understandable. Do you ever write your own poetry, even if you don't perform it?

[Speaker 2] I do have a secret poetry book that I have been writing in since elementary school. It is sort of a diary and poetry journal. I write in it between homework and biology classes usually.

[Speaker 1] You sure do manage to keep yourself busy! I love reading poetry, but have never written it. How long do you have left until you graduate?

[Speaker 2] Maybe I can inspire you to try and start writing? I have about two years left but it could be sooner if I take a full load this summer. I just love traveling in the summer and don't want to ruin it with classes. HA!

I love lobster.

I don't like to sing. I am a software engineer at Google. I am crunching at work. I live in Seattle.

I have not seen a broadway show. I would like to see Wicked show.

I have busy schedule. I find my work rewarding.

I love reading poetry but have never written poetry.

I think lobster is rubbery.

I work in a coffee house. I am a student at michigan state majored in biology. I am a scientist. I have two years left until I graduate. I could graduate sooner if I study over the summer.

I have not seen a broadway show. I like to sing tunes from Wicked show. My favorite is Dear Old Shiz. I try to go to show once per month. I have weekends off.

I am taking a class and am working at night. We have open mic poetry nights at work every week. I have never performed poetry. I am shy.

I have been writing poetry secretly since elementary school.

[Speaker 1] I was tempted last night to start trying to write a little poetry after our chat!

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah? What stopped you? It is a great creative outlet!

[Speaker 1] I couldn't find a pen to write it with, How was work today serving coffee

[Speaker 2] It was great! We had some local roasters come in to do a demonstration and taste test!

[Speaker 1] Cool ! some guy tried making me sing at work i told him to shut up you know what i think of singing

[Speaker 2] Oh wow that's a rude! What and why was he trying to make you sing? Doesn't he have better things to do at Google than harass his coworker?

[Speaker 1] He knows i don't like to sing he does it to irritate me , i was wondering considering we both never been to a broadway show i think we should book tickets and go together some time

[Speaker 2] Yes! That is a great idea! We should go during the summer when I am not in school!

[Speaker 1] Yes you must not have much time on your hands with the working and studying and being a scientist , how is the poetry going ?

[Speaker 2] I haven't been writing too much of my own poetry but I have been exploring some new poets! We should both make ourselves write poems tonight!

[Speaker 1] Good idea , as you know i love reading it so might give it a try .Maybe one day you will fight your shyness and perform your poetry you have done

[Speaker 2] Yeah I was thinking of joining a creative writing group, so I can get use to sharing my work with others.
