I've chick.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you this evening?

[Speaker 2] I'm good, hows it going?

[Speaker 1] Exhausting. I decorated a wedding cake at work today.

[Speaker 2] In your free time, do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] My girlfriend and I volunteer at the cat shelter.

[Speaker 2] Cool, I go hiking with my gf I ride bikes

[Speaker 1] I've started running, I'm a little overweight and my dr. Says it will come off easily.

[Speaker 2] I'm an outdoors kind of guy so running definitely will help you

[Speaker 1] In college, I was a majorette and cheerleader. Baking put on a few pounds.

[Speaker 2] I know the feeling, I am a sucker for pancakes.

[Speaker 1] A well made pancake can bring peace to any situation.

[Speaker 2] Exactly, buttery golden brown deliciousness lol

[Speaker 1] You have that right, lol. No one can turn those down.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any kids?

I work at Bakery.

I have a girlfriend who volunteers at cat shelter.

I was a majorette and cheerleader in college.

I have a girlfriend. I go hiking and ride bikes. I am an outdoors guy.

[Speaker 1] I have lost 5 pounds since I started running

[Speaker 2] Wow! That sound great! Congratulations! How many days per week do you run?

[Speaker 1] I try to run at least  times a week. Hopefully I'll work my way up to 5.  And I might take up hiking soon too!

[Speaker 2] You are really going for it! I like that. I do a lot of hiking, but I don't like running too much. What surface do you run on?

[Speaker 1] Mostly the sidewalk, since that's what's around me.  But I probably should get into something a little more low-impact.  Where do you like to hike?

[Speaker 2] I like to hike in the mountains nearby. It's very hilly and the trails are kind of rugged, but I like the peace and quiet. Do you get any joint pains from running on the sidewalk?

[Speaker 1] Not yet, but I've heard it can happen. Just want to prevent it is all!  But that's nice I wish I had some good terrain nearby it's most flat unless I drive 30+ minutes

[Speaker 2] I understand. Driving half hour just to hike can be a task unless you have company! Maybe your girlfriend could tag along?

[Speaker 1] Yeah i think she would, she's interested too.  Does your girlfriend hike with you?

[Speaker 2] Yes, sometimes she does and it's almost way more fun

[Speaker 1] That's good!  I will have to convince mine to come!

[Speaker 2] Haha! Well, she is already interested so half the battle is won. Is she excited about the weight loss?

I work at Bakery.

I am slightly overweight. I've started running. I run at least twice a week.

I would like to try hiking. I do not live in the countryside. I live in a flat area. Hills are at least 30 minutes drive away from where I live.

I do not like running.

I live near mountains.

[Speaker 1] My girlfriend and I ran 6 kilometers up in the mountains today.

[Speaker 2] Nice job! I just got back from a hike with my girlfriend.

[Speaker 1] Do you have hills where you live?

[Speaker 2] We have some pretty large mountains not far from our house. Really beautiful in the morning with the fog.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like San Francisco. My girlfriend and I vacationed there last year. Talk about hills and fog! Good thing it doesn't snow there.

[Speaker 2] We can see some snow capped peaks almost year round.

[Speaker 1] Would you like to adopt some cats? My girlfriend has been bringing one home about once a month. She's had this job for 10 months. That's a lot of cats. She says she can't resist because they're so cute and no one wants them.

[Speaker 2] I don't know if I would have time for a cat because I'm always on the move. Maybe she will let me have a trial run?

[Speaker 1] How about we give you a 5-cat starter kit?

[Speaker 2] Haha! No way! I will try on one kitty for a couple weeks. My girlfriend will love it so much I will have to keep it.

[Speaker 1] OK. You can adopt the other 4 weekly. Or, if she keeps bringing home all these cats, take my girlfriend -- PLEASE!

[Speaker 2] She needs a kitty warehouse for all those cats. Haha! Maybe I will take two.

[Speaker 1] I live out in the country. They can always use more country vets out here.

[Speaker 2] We are too, I use one field to practice field hockey and soccer.

[Speaker 1] You use one of what?

[Speaker 2] A field... Where are you station.

[Speaker 1] Ft carson co. I live just outside co springs

[Speaker 2] We live in cali, on a cattle ranch. I love to surf.

[Speaker 1] I'd love to try that! I am pregnant right now though so maybe later!

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, don't do anything to endanger the baby!

[Speaker 1] Yeah it is my first. I am very excited for the baby to get here!

[Speaker 2] I do not want kids, weird I know. I only want dogs.

[Speaker 1] Dogs are good too! I don't have them because we move around way to much

[Speaker 2] That would be difficult. Have you named the baby yet?

I live in Country.

I play field hockey and soccer.

I live on a Cattle ranch in Cali. I love to surk.

[Speaker 1] We found out the sex of the baby!

[Speaker 2] That's great! Are you going to tell me?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it's going to be a baby boy.

[Speaker 2] Great news! I'm still in high school so I'm not thinking about kids at all and as of now I'm not that interested. What if your new son wants a dog one day?

[Speaker 1] I don't have dogs but maybe I will get one one day. First things first though, gotta prepare for the kids!

[Speaker 2] How has it been moving from base to base? Or do you like the adventure?

[Speaker 1] Hectic! I'm just starting to get used to Ft. Carson but we may move again soon!

[Speaker 2] Colorado Springs is pretty ugly but the scenery just outside the city past Manitou is incredible.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I'd like to explore the area but it's hard focusing on getting ready for my baby.

[Speaker 2] I understand. Where does the rest of your family live. Will they make it for the birth?

[Speaker 1] In the country like me. Yes, they'll be there. I like the country.

[Speaker 2] The country where? Like Kansas, Virginia, Tennessee?

I live in Country.

I dont have dogs.

I play field hockey and soccer.

I like dogs doesn't want kids.

[Speaker 1] How is school going? Have you played in any games lately?

[Speaker 2] I have lost the last game, but it was close game. I don't feel bad about it. I had fun. And you, when the baby is due ?

[Speaker 1] Any day now. I have my bags packed for the hospital! I'm really scared but ready to meet my boy.

[Speaker 2] Have you prepared the room for the baby ?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I did the walls yellow because it's more cheery than blue. I did the crib all in blue though.

[Speaker 2] Does someone will visit you to help you with the baby for  the first days ?

[Speaker 1] My mom is going to spent the night my first night home to show me what to do since this is my first. That is very comforting to me.

[Speaker 2] And as for your  husband, does the army has a paternity leave ?

[Speaker 1] Yes, he will have some time to spend home after the baby is born. I don't know what I would do without him the first couple days.

[Speaker 2] Even without a newborn, it must be tough to live in the country, I suppose that Colorado does have a few snowstorms per year.

[Speaker 1] We are completely prepared for that sort of thing and even if we weren't the military takes care of us. I love the country soo much. I will be sad if he gets stationed somewhere else and we have to leave.

[Speaker 2] Can you ask the army  to stay in Colorado Springs ? Maybe they can accommodate you.

[Speaker 1] I was a teacher yeah

[Speaker 2] Wow! What state did you teach in?

[Speaker 1] I taught in nc over there

I make aquariums.

[Speaker 1] What was it like growing up with six brothers?

[Speaker 2] Crazy times. There was never a moments peace in the house, but you always had someone to talk to and help you oout if you needed it

[Speaker 1] That honestly does not sound too bad. Often, i would find my self wanting to have someone to share interests with. So have you made an aquarium recently ?

[Speaker 2] I've been working on an aquarium almost every day since we last spoke. I've managed to get it to stop leaking. Now the fun part is the decorating. Do you like fish?

[Speaker 1] Nice, I am sure it will end up looking awesome. I do, in fact, I might ask you to build me one soon. Would you be able to ?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I would love to work on an aquarium for you. I will be finished with this one in a few days but I have a bunch of orders to make first. I might not be able to make you one for a few months.

[Speaker 1] Perfect, I can not wait. I would love to go over to your house today to show you examples of what I would like to. In addition, I will bring Italian food  as a thank you. Are you home or at your brothers in law house ?

[Speaker 2] I'm in the workshop at the minute. That would probably be a better place to talk about it because I can show you examples of my other work. Why don't you come over at about 6?

[Speaker 1] Understood, then I will come over to your shop at 6. Of course, I will also bring Italian food. Can not wait this is going to be awesome. Only, you are going to have to help me pick the fish.

[Speaker 2] Sounds great. There are so many fish in our shop. All different kinds needing different aquariums. What kind of italian food will you bring? I love pasta

[Speaker 1] Yes there is, which is why I will definitely  be needing your help. I am actually bringing pizza. However I can add pasta. What kind of pasta do you like ?

I like peperoni pizza.  I love pasta.

[Speaker 1] I am about to grab the pizza and head over your way.  I love the color purple.  Let's make sure to incorporate that into the aquarium.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I cannot wait to decorate the aquarium with you.  I have some plants and a bridge that are purple.

[Speaker 1] Awesome! I can not wait, it will be a lot of fun.

[Speaker 2] How was your day at the bank?  Did you deal with any crazy customers?

[Speaker 1] Oh the usual. I always get a handful of crazy customers a day. Today wasn't all that bad. How's your workshop going?

[Speaker 2] It's going well.  I have had several new customers come in.  One wanted a divided tank so they can house many male betta fish.

[Speaker 1] Wow! I bet work can be so interesting for you!

[Speaker 2] It truly is.  I am so grateful to be able to incorporate my love of fish and serving the public.  What kind of pizza will you be bringing tonight?

[Speaker 1] Yeah that must be so nice. I got pepperoni, I know it's your favorite!

[Speaker 2] Thanks so much!  Last weekend my brother brought over a pizza with Canadian bacon.  I did not care for it at all.

[Speaker 1] Oh really? I've never had Canadian bacon. How are your brothers doing?

[Speaker 1] You are a writer?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I work for the times! I love writing, I'm basically married to it!

[Speaker 1] I don't love waitressing, it only pays 2. 15 an hour, plus tips.

[Speaker 2] Is that even a legal wage?

[Speaker 1] That's why I am in med school, awaiting a new life... Lol

[Speaker 2] Fair enough. Does your husband have a good job?

[Speaker 2] Do you bet on the games?

[Speaker 1] I can't I suffer from social anxiety and betting would be hard for me to do

[Speaker 1] I am still in school, I'll be teaching in three months.

[Speaker 2] Congratulations! My husband is an author and I work with photos.

[Speaker 1] I love photography, I take a lot of my vintage mustang.

[Speaker 2] Great! Do you like reading?

[Speaker 1] I do, I love to read dean koontz.

[Speaker 2] I like stephen king the best.

[Speaker 1] I like his early works. From a buick 8 is one of my favorites.

[Speaker 2] Nice. Oh the baby is crying wait a minute.

[Speaker 1] My father is a pediatrician, let me know if something is wrong.

[Speaker 2] Good to know! We have twins.

[Speaker 1] That's adorable! I do not have any

[Speaker 2] Haha you are still young. The baby was just hungry.

[Speaker 1] I am too, now that you mention it.

[Speaker 2] Go eat something, nice chat!

I'm in school to become a teacher.

I have a vintage mustang.

My father is a pediatrician.

I don't have any kids.

I have digital photos.

My husband is an author. I work with photos.

I'm into Stephen King.

My husband and I have twins.

[Speaker 1] I bet you have tons of cute photos of your kids.

[Speaker 2] We do, sometimes I think we have too many! All the photos we store digitally is getting crazy! However the twins are growing so fast its hard to not try and capture every moment. Hows the mustang treating you?

[Speaker 1] That's awesome. I love my mustang. I am really into vintage cars and I enjoy taking care of them and renovating them. Do you have any other authors or books that you enjoy? Right now I am reading the Harry Potter sequel all over again.

[Speaker 2] That's so cool, maybe I can convince my husband to get a vintage ride. Right now I'm re-reading the Stephen King classic Pet Semetary. I'm almost done though, do you have any good Dean Koontz books you could recommend?

[Speaker 1] You should convince your husband. You guys will be happier with a vintage car! I recommend the books lighting and watchers. Those are definitely my favorite. Do you read books to your twins?

[Speaker 2] The world looks better from the seat of a vintage car your saying? Lol. I used to but they've gotten to the point where they prefer to pick their own and read to themselves. Which is nice but I miss story time a little I won't lie. Are you still going to school to become a teacher?

[Speaker 1] It definitely does! Aw, that is definitely bittersweet. At least they are smart and independent kids. Yes, I am still in school. I just have two years left and I'm done. I an very excited to teach and see my students grow and become good people. Maybe I can teach your kids one day!

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful and exciting your halfway there. I would be thrilled if you were their teacher one day! Or maybe you'll teach younger kiddos and get to pick books to read to them! I'll have to try and convince my husband to use his advance on his next book to get a mustang. Or maybe a Buick, which would you recommend more?

[Speaker 1] For sure, I love working with younger kids.They are so innocent and they give me hope for the future of the world. I might be biased with this answer but a mustang for sure. I definitely got my father's genes when it comes to liking to work with kids.

[Speaker 2] It is a blessing to be around children, they always end up teaching you something when you least expect it. You sure did, you're both very gifted. Speaking of your dad how is he lately?

[Speaker 1] He is doing good. He is busier than usual with his pediatrician job but he is happy to work at all times. How is your husband doing?

[Speaker 2] I'm glad to hear that, it's good to stay busy and be active especially at his age. My husband is also doing good and busier than usual since he got his second book approved. He just started it last weekend, and I feel like I've barely seen him since lol.

I'm in school to become a teacher.

I have a vintage mustang. I am into vintage cars.

I like to read. I'm into Dean Koontz. I enjoy his earlier works. One my favorite is Buick 8. I am reading Harry Potter again. I like the books lighting and watchers.

I don't have any kids. I like working with younger kids.

My dad is a pediatrician.

I have digital photos.

My husband is an author. My husband is writing his second book. I work with photos.

I'm into Stephen King. I'm reading Pet Semetary.

My husband and I have twins. I used to read to my kids.  They can read to themselves now.

I want a vintage car.

[Speaker 1] I just read a great book I think your twins would really like.  It's a kids chapter book you could read to them

[Speaker 2] That sounds great. What sort of age level is it meant for?

[Speaker 1] It's kindof for "tweens".  Do they have similar interests to eachother?

[Speaker 2] Not really, that only tends to work when they're the same sex. My son already likes racing cars, and my daughter is now into Frozen (2).

[Speaker 1] It must be hard to find movies they both like! Well this book is kindof sci-fi with a lot of different characters.  I always find books I think kids would like but I don't have any . Hopefully someday I will!

[Speaker 2] I'm sure my son will love it, and maybe my daughter will like some of the characters. So I'll give it a go if you send me a link!

[Speaker 1] Sure I'll text it to you later. Has your husband considered writing children's books?

[Speaker 2] No, he's determined to write the Great American Novel (yes, he actually says that). Although he did suggest that I should have a go at writing one!

[Speaker 1] Oh you should! What do you think you'd write about?

[Speaker 2] It would probably be about a car, given the interests I share with my son. An old one, that would have to go really fast too.

[Speaker 1] It sounds fun. I like to draw, I'd love to illustrate it for you.

[Speaker 2] That would be great. Have you drawn any sketches of your Mustang?


I I love logical and rational thinking.

I love computers.

I am considered a nerd by many.

I started working at google last week on self driving car research.

I am very good at math and science.

I own a cleaning company.
My favorite writer is nicholas sparks.
I'm married.
I enjoy cooking.
My mother was a teacher.

I use an evidence based approach to thought.

I stay up to date on cutting edge technology.

I'm uncool.

I am employed online.

I succeed at the subjects algebra and biology.

I am in charge of a business that cleans homes.

I follow nick.

I just got back from my honeymoon.

I am a foodie.

My mom taught in a preschool.

[Speaker 1] Hello, what do you do for a living?

[Speaker 2] I have a cleaning company that I work with my family

[Speaker 1] Cool. I work on computers for google.

[Speaker 2] Nice, I love google and I love to read.

[Speaker 1] Me too. I'm kind of a nerd. I like math and science.

[Speaker 2] One of the best writers I know is nicholas sparks, I'm sort of a nerd too

[Speaker 1] Would you use a self driving car?

[Speaker 2] Are you married? I have been for 6 years now..... I would try one

[Speaker 1] I programmed the one I take to and from work. I am engaged.

[Speaker 2] That car sounds a little scary though, my mother would never ride in it

[Speaker 1] As long as bad people don't program. The computer is safer than humans.

[Speaker 2] That is true, my mother started me reading early she was a school teacher

[Speaker 1] I always liked michael c. The author of jurassic park.

[Speaker 2] I've not heard of him, I think computers will take over the world fully soon

[Speaker 1] All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again.

[Speaker 2] I totally agree we are living a perpetual groundhog day

I like math and science.

I am engaged.

I like the works of the author of Jurassic Park.

I have a cleaning company. I work with family.

I love to read. I like the author Nicholas Sparks.

I've been married for 6 years.

My mother was a school teacher.

[Speaker 1] I picked up a Nicholas Sparks book to read since you said you liked the author.

[Speaker 2] Nice. I find his books to be very intriguing. I hope you like it. I have started to read Jurassic Park. So far I really like it, I think I will see the movie after I read the book.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I'm glad you started them. Definitely finish the book first, before watching the movie. Do you find the book scary?

[Speaker 2] It has it's moments of tension, but mainly I find it so interesting and I get caught up in the action. What is it like working at Google. My job is really totally different than what you must experience every day.

[Speaker 1] It's pretty intense at times, sometimes you feel like you'll never be good enough! It's cool that you get to be with your family. Sounds a lot less stressful than mine!

[Speaker 2] My job is pretty stressful, but in a different way. We have a lot of customers and each one thinks they are the most important. It is tough trying to keep them happy, but we do our best. Also, sometimes family can get a little too close if you are with them at work and at home. I do love having my own company though.

[Speaker 1] I guess I didn't think of it that way. I'm sorry you have customers that act that way, it's so rude! Do you sometimes schedule cleans by yourself? Just for the peace and quiet.

[Speaker 2] I am usually stuck in the office doing all the coordinating and paper work. If there is a small job I will go and do it by myself just for a chance of scenery. I'm sure you are around many different personalities at work also. It takes some social skills to keep up with it all.

[Speaker 1] For sure, also so many nationalities too. I really should try to pick up some new language skills, some of the people I work with can speak five or more languages! It's crazy but also motivating.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that sounds like a lively and interesting place to work. How are your marriage plans coming along, have you set a date yet?

[Speaker 1] Good, thanks, maybe in the summer, we haven't set a firm date yet. Leaning towards summer 2022, maybe autumn.

[Speaker 2] Early autumn sounds like a good time, not too hot, not too cold. Weddings take a lot of planning, unless you go small, which is sometimes the best plan. We had a small wedding because we used our money to start our company, and in the long run it has paid off.

I work at Google. I have computer programming skills. I like math and science.

I am engaged.

I've been married for 6 years. I had a small wedding.

My mother was a school teacher.

I've never heard of Michael C. the author of Jurassic Park. I like Nicholas Sparks, the author. I am reading Jurassic Park.

[Speaker 1] Have you finished Jurassic Park yet? Let me know when you are, I can lend you the DVD to watch.

[Speaker 2] I did finish the book and would love to watch the movie, thank you! I'm interested to see how realistic the dinosaurs will look in the movie.

[Speaker 1] You are in for a treat, Jurassic movies is a classic now! I will drop off the DVD later on today. I am planning on picking up a Nicholas Sparks book, I want to see what his about, which book do you recommend? I am planning on taking a vacation from work, so I want to read something that is not math or science related.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! You will have to start with The Notebook, it's Nicholas Sparks' best novel!

[Speaker 1] I think I have heard of the movies, its a movie right? I was also recommended, 'me before you' have you heard of that book? I will definitely pick up, The Notebook.

[Speaker 2] Yes, many of his books were made into movies. I have The Notebook movie too if you want to borrow it. I have read Me Before You and watched the movie, it is heartbreaking but really good!

[Speaker 1] woah! being a computer programmer sort of has me in a bubble. really need to branch out. Yeah, that would be awesome! I will definitely watch me before you. I did read and watched, 'Love, Rosie' have you heard of the book or movie?

[Speaker 2] It sounds familiar but I have not read Love, Rosie. I will have to add it to my list. I go through about 4 audiobooks at work while I am cleaning. Are you able to listen to audiobooks at work or does that get in the way of your job?

[Speaker 1] please do! I think you would definitely enjoy, follows a journey of high school sweethearts that are constantly separated.. I really enjoyed it. I think I can accommodate audiobook, I really like series, do you have a favorite series?

[Speaker 2] I can't say I've read too many series, I usually just stick to novels.

[Speaker 1] Gotcha! I may have to google a good series. How is your cleaning company? were you able to start up the second branch?

[Speaker 2] The second branch is still in the works. I may need to update all our software due to expanding, do you have experience with that?

[Speaker 1] Are you a bartender? I could use a cold one!!!!

[Speaker 2] Yep! I'd rather surf though. I do it everyday.

[Speaker 1] Never done that. But it looks fun. Live near the coast?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I do. Its almost dinner time.

[Speaker 1] 32 years old and only seen the ocean twice. Poor me.

[Speaker 2] People like my cooking. Do you cook?

[Speaker 1] Married 8 years ago and I cook every night. Helps me diet right.

[Speaker 2] Nice. Do you like music? I love country.

[Speaker 1] I like real country not the pop stuff. My dad listened to that stuff.

[Speaker 2] I hear you. I play piano too. Play any instruments?

[Speaker 1] Played the violin for years. Still play on occasion. Keeps me sane.

[Speaker 2] Me too! I am so ready to eat. Gotta go!

I have a husband. I have been married for eight years.

I like beer.

I have never surfed.

I am 32. I have only seen the coast twice.

I am on a diet.

I like real country music. I play the violin.

I work at a bar.
I surf. I live near the coast.
I am a good cook.
I love country music. I can play piano.

[Speaker 1] I played my violin for a few hours.

[Speaker 2] That's nice. What songs did you play?

[Speaker 1] I played "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." I'm sure you've heard it lol

[Speaker 2] Yes, that's one of my favourites to play too! Have you just learned to play it?

[Speaker 1] I've been playing it for a while. I've never heard it played on the piano. Do you play it at the bar?

[Speaker 2] We have open mic nights every month and if it's slow I usually play. That is definitely a firm favourite with our crowd.

[Speaker 1] What's the most popular food there?

[Speaker 2] We don't really serve much food - most people come for the beer! We have the usual bar snacks like wings that most people enjoy.

[Speaker 1] Well I love beer. Me and my husband love to go and have a brew every now and again. What's your brand?

[Speaker 2] I am not a big beer drinker but the most popular at the bar is probably Red Stripe or Bud. What is your favourite beer?

[Speaker 1] It's Miller Lite. Trying to watch my weight here haha. I ruin it by eating too many wings. Do you make wings at home?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I love cooking things like wings, tacos and homemade pizza. Definitely not diet friendly!

I am 32.  I have a husband. I have been married for 8 years.

I have never surfed. I have only seen the coast twice.

I am on a diet. I'm trying to watch my weight. I like eating wings.

I like real country music. I know how to play "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" on the violin. I've never heard "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" on the piano.

I love beer. My husband and I sometimes go to a bar for beer. My favorite beer is Miller Lite.

I work at a bar.

I surf. I live near the coast.

I love country music. I can play piano. I enjoy playing "The Devil Went Down to Georgia.". I play piano sometimes at a bar during open mic night.

I'm not a big beer drinker. I love cooking. I know how to make wings, tacos, and pizza.

[Speaker 1] I've been trying to cook more often and I've recently been looking into how to make healthier wings at home.

[Speaker 2] Cooking saves on costs and is usually healthier.  Speaking of health, how is the diet going?

[Speaker 1] It's been tough, but I'm sticking with it! It would be great to find a way to make my favorite foods less fattening! Do you have any recipe suggestions?

[Speaker 2] I am no expert, but get leaner cuts of meat, cut down on the salt, and sneak a couple veggies in there.  You probably won't even notice them, but they will give you some additional nutrients.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a great strategy. I like the idea of sneaking things in there! I'm sure that my beer habit isn't helping haha! You're lucky that you're not super into beer.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you can find some alternative beverages that fit.  I just never got into the taste.  I probably had a few too many wine coolers in my day, but I found the more I surfed, the less I craved alcohol.

[Speaker 1] That's so interesting! How did you first get into surfing? Maybe I can try it out for myself. Anything to cut down on the alcohol!

[Speaker 2] I had a couple friends that were in that scene.  They finally convinced me to hit the waves and I was hooked.  Don't get me wrong it was rough at first, but the first time I stayed up or really cut up a wave was exhilarating!

[Speaker 1] I'd love to get to that level! I'm sure I'll look like a complete bozo my first time out, though! Where is the best surfing in the world?

[Speaker 2] I haven't been all around.  California is great for those in the continental US, but Hawaii is even better.  Some day maybe I will go to Supertubes in Jeffrey's Bay, South Africa.  I've heard great things about it.

[Speaker 1] South Africa! WOW! If you go, you'll have to tell me all about it! I'd love to make a trip like that someday!

I do not have any pets.

I live on the East coast.

I have a husky.

[Speaker 1] I made plans to travel to a new place next month.

[Speaker 2] What attracted you to this new place? Where is it?

[Speaker 1] California! I love the snow, but I thought I'd try the beach! Have you ever been to California?

[Speaker 2] I have. I love San Diego. The clifs on the beaches are wonderfull. Where are you planning on visiting?

[Speaker 1] That's where we're going! I can't wait. We're going in July. Is that a good time to go do you think?

[Speaker 2] It should be a fine time to go. One nice thing about the place it the weather stay consistant pretty much year round.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's awesome! The flight is so long though - good thing I've got my Switch! Do you have any new games?

[Speaker 2] I don't at the moment. I've been focused on work for the last few weeks. But, work is kind of like a real life video game, which is nice.

[Speaker 1] Well if you think of anything, let me know! I'll need a new game for the flight haha. What kind of work do you do?

[Speaker 2] I race RC cars. Indoor for the winter. The summer is more fun, I prefer being outside on dirt.

[Speaker 1] That is so cool. When is your next race? I'd love to come watch

[Speaker 2] Friday. Its nothing that would warrent a trip up here! and the weather up here has been frightfull. How is the east coast weather treating you?

I like playing Nintendo too. I need a new game for the fligth.

I do not have any pets.

I live on the East coast. I love the snow. I travel to the The Great White North during the holidays.

I also like to go to new places. I will travel to California next month. I will try the beach this time. I am going to San Diego too.

I play Nintendo a lot. I race RC cars for a living. and I like it.  I prefer being outside on dirt. I do not have any new games. I have been focusing on work. My next race is Friday.

I have a husky.

I live in the Great White North. I don't like the snow. I love San Diego.

[Speaker 1] Where do you leave your dog while you are racing?

[Speaker 2] It depends on the type of race I'm participating in. If it's a short one and it's in my city - I'm just going to leave my dog at home. Otherwise I'm usually asking my brother to watch over him.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that is cool. I was thinking about starting to do some dog rescue work and they ask if we are able to foster dogs for a week or two. I haven't ever done it before so I was just wondering.

[Speaker 2] It's so nice of you. Why did you decide to get into dog rescuing?

[Speaker 1] Honestly, I like this girl and she was saying how cool it would be and so I am trying to impress her, sort of. I like animals and everything so dont get me wrong, I want to try it.

[Speaker 2] Oh, okay. Well it's still a good thing to do, doesn't really matter why. Does this girl rescue dogs herself or was she just saying that she liked it?

[Speaker 1] She told me that she volunteers at this shelter and they always need people to foster the dogs who are hard to adopt out. So, I was telling her I would like to help her out, basically. She is super sweet and one of those people you can't say no to.

[Speaker 2] Haha right I understand :) Well that's a great way to both help those poor animals and meet a nice person. Who knows, maybe she will be even willing to join you on your trip to California!

[Speaker 1] Dude, that was my thought exactly! Ya never know where it could lead to. I might need some tips on how you trained your husky if it gets to that point and I have one at my house. She doesn't like video games so I am expanding my interest, lol.

[Speaker 2] Sure, I'll be glad to help, it's not that hard anyway. Does she have any other interests besides animals?

[Speaker 1] I haven't found out a lot about her yet because I am trying to get to know her organically. I don't want to think I am trying too hard to get her attention however I do go by the shelter and say hey to her and the dogs about twice a week. I am working up to asking her out though, wish me luck.

[Speaker 2] You're going to be fine, relax! Also you probably should mention the fact that she introduced you to the dog rescuing too, she'd be happy to hear that!

[Speaker 2] How fun. Do you go off roading?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes. I really enjoy driving on the beach.

[Speaker 2] Oh ok! I am a country girl, so I automatically think mud.

[Speaker 1] I like mud too! Either works for me.

[Speaker 2] What part of the country? I'm in texas.

[Speaker 1] Have you done any baking today?

[Speaker 2] I made a lovely chocolate cake. You'd like it.

[Speaker 1] Oh yum!  Chocolate ganache?

[Speaker 2] You know it! You should taste it one day. Come down to Texas!

[Speaker 1] Im not going anywhere near Texas right now! Although I bet my 4Runner would be able to handle the snow!  Hows your minivan doing in this weather?

[Speaker 2] Oh right now it's crazy here but it'll clear up soon hopefully. The minivan is doing well. How's your 4runner?

[Speaker 1] Good, it was an excellent purchase.  HAndles winters very well, well worth the money it cost.

[Speaker 2] How much was it? Not too expensive?

[Speaker 1] It was almost 40k which seemed very expensive to me!  I would have to sell a lot of paintings to afford one of those every 5 years.

[Speaker 2] Are you making good money selling those paintings though?

[Speaker 1] Im make a decent amount...I've had to supplement my job with a part time teaching job at the local school.  Do you sell your cakes or just bake for fun?

[Speaker 1] I am just finishing up a new painting.

[Speaker 2] Oh exciting, what is the painting of?

[Speaker 1] Nothing special, just the beach I've been to a lot of times lately. It's an interesting change for me, I'm used to drawing portraits.

[Speaker 2] Did you find it more enjoyable than portraits? I wish I could paint, but I think I would like to do landscapes if I could paint.

[Speaker 1] I actually did, yes. It's far more relaxing and it only depends on you and the weather, no need to interact with other people. You should try it, I think everyone can paint, it's just that not everyone can earn money by doing it :)

[Speaker 2] That's very true, I have never thought of it like that before. There is nothing stopping me from painting at all!! It would give me a reason to get out and about in my van to find some nice spots!

[Speaker 1] Yeap, that's what I'm talking about! You can even take your grandson with you, maybe he's going to be interested in painting too, who knows? It's a lot of fun, kids usually love it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's not something he has ever spoken about really, but he might enjoy trying something new. Do you teach art?

[Speaker 1] Only part-time so far, yes. I'm not super good at it, but I'm trying to get better and get a full-time teacher job. Or maybe I will join some painting courses as a teacher, have been thinking about that too. What do you think?

[Speaker 2] I have not but its on my list

[Speaker 1] Whats number 1?

[Speaker 2] I'd love to g back to italy

My parents were born outside of the United States. My mother was born in Ireland.

My favorite place to visit is Italy.

[Speaker 1] I just watched a travel video on Italy and it does look like a great place to visit. I think I will put it on my list too!

[Speaker 2] It's a popular choice, just make sure you visit some of the less tourist places when you go

[Speaker 1] Good advice!  What part of Italy is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] Any of the seaside towns, with all the random names I can't remember right now.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah like the Amalfi Coast?  I saw great things about that.  Florence, Venice, and Rome also look like lovely places.

[Speaker 2] Yea, they are all worth doing once anyway!

[Speaker 1] Great!  How is work going?

[Speaker 2] Great, I can efficently work from anywhere. How's your job going?

[Speaker 1] It's ok, it has been very busy lately, but hopefully I should be getting a promotion soon!

[Speaker 2] O that is great, I am happy for you.

[Speaker 1] Thank you!  Yes it hopefully will happen sometime in the next month or two.  Were you promoted recently?

[Speaker 2] No, but I got a raise, so next best thing!

I do not have any pets. I like to travel. I would like to visit Italy.

I have a job. I am hoping to get a promotion.

My job requires me to work on a computer. I got a raise at work. I have not gotten a promotion.

My favorite place to visit is Italy. I like the seaside towns of Italy.

[Speaker 1] I finally got my promotion at work, I am so excited!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome to hear! What do you do for a living again?

[Speaker 1] I work in a real estate office. I'm office manager now!

[Speaker 2] Nice! Did the promotion change much about your daily routine? More work, more responsibility?

[Speaker 1] A little bit but not too much. I got a nice raise and now I can probably afford a trip to Italy!

[Speaker 2] So jealous. Italian food is also by far my favorite! I'm obsessed with pasta.

[Speaker 1] oh same here, any Italian food is great with me. Especially if I'm eating it outside in a beautiful setting, with some wine!

[Speaker 2] I wish I could have wine, but I am allergic. My whole body breaks out in hives if I have a few sips.

[Speaker 1] Oh gosh, that's terrible. Sorry about that! Are you allergic to other drinks and foods, or just wine?

[Speaker 2] No, just wine. But I absolutely hate the taste of fish, so I often tell people I am allergic just to avoid them forcing me to "just try a bite". Are you allergic to any foods? Or have something you absolutely hate the taste of?

[Speaker 1] I like most foods, but I really cannot stand even the idea of organ meats. My mom is from Ireland and she grew up eating organ meats. Blech!

[Speaker 2] No, I'd rather get out and go to the beach!

[Speaker 1] Do not blame you I been thinking of this person at work I like alot today

[Speaker 2] Why do you get them some chocolate covered strawberries. I know I would enjoy that

[Speaker 1] Its not a bad idea thanks

[Speaker 2] Strawberries are the best fruit. They always work. Even with vegans like myself

[Speaker 1] Do you like ping pong? I play alot

[Speaker 2] Yes, you ever played it on the beach?

[Speaker 1] I've no done that yet. Do you have plans tonight?

[Speaker 2] No actually I do not. What are you up to?

[Speaker 1] I'm gonna binge watch netflix I think

[Speaker 2] Dude, you need to get outside, get some sea air

[Speaker 1] Yea probably I'm mainly a homebody

[Speaker 2] Come hang out with us sometimes. I even bring my cats to the beach

I am a homebody.

I have 2 cats.

I like the beach.

I like chocolate covered strawberries. strawberries are my favorite fruit. I am a vegan.

[Speaker 1] How are your cats? what are there names?

[Speaker 2] They are great, one is named Benny and other one is Kenny. Benny is the more annoying one for sure though.

[Speaker 1] Oh how funny, yes there is usually one animal more annoying than the other. I don't have any cats but kind of wish I did!

[Speaker 2] yea, they are fun sometime, but sometime when you want to rest they won't let you. Why don't you get a cat too?

[Speaker 1] I don't know, I'm kind of busy, don't have time for a cat with all the time I spend playing rpg! Ha! I think the cat would be annoyed with me!

[Speaker 2] Than maybe you should get a Persian cat, they are usually relaxed and will sit at one place for long time. Will be fun to have it by your side while playing.

[Speaker 1] Now that's a thought, I will keep that in mind! Does your cat like living by the beach?

[Speaker 2] No way, my cats will freak out if they get anywhere near water or sandy beach shore. Its a battle when I have to give them a bath.

[Speaker 1] Yah, I bet, but I bet he likes looking out the window at the beach! You are lucky that you live in such a beautiful spot! I spend lots of time at home and I think part of that is because I don't really live in a nice area!

[Speaker 2] Yea, both of them just sit sometimes looking out the window. Maybe you should move somewhere nice too than.

[Speaker 1] I might do that. Hey, I have some fresh strawberries by the way, they are from my neighbor's garden, would you like some, my neighbor gave me way too many and I know how you love them!

[Speaker 2] For sure, I will love to have them. Your neighbor must be too generous lol.

I have a crush.

I play ping pong alot. I am a homebody. I spend lots of time at home as I don't live in a nice area.

I don't have cats but wish that I did. I don't have time for a cat as I spend too long playing RPG.

I have some fresh strawberries from my neighbours garden.

I have 2 cats named Benny and Kenny. Sometimes my cats don't let me rest when I want to. My cats hate water and sandy beaches.

I live near a beach, my cats like to look out of the window at the beach. I like the beach.

[Speaker 1] What did you make with those strawberries I gave you the other day?

[Speaker 2] I made a carob sauce and dipped the strawberries in it for a sweet dessert. It was delicious! Have you made anything from the strawberries lately?

[Speaker 1] I have been on strawberry overload!  I've made some delicious strawberry smoothies, and even homemade strawberry ice cream.

[Speaker 2] Ooh, strawberry smoothies sound delicious. I'll have to do that next. Unfortunately, my cats go crazy at the sound of the blender, but they'll just have to deal with it. Have you thought anymore about getting a cat?

[Speaker 1] I have been thinking more about getting a cat...I really want one!  Are cats a lot of work?

[Speaker 2] They can be at first while they're getting used to the new house and people, but once they settle in, they're pretty low-maintenance. If you get one, just be ready to get woken up because they seem to enjoy running around and playing in the middle of the night!

[Speaker 1] Haha that's what I've heard!  I'm a bit nervous about a cat using it's claws on my furniture.  Have your cats destroyed anything?  Did you get them declawed?

[Speaker 2] One of my cats started developing a habit of using the back of the couch as a scratching post, but I nipped that in the bud by getting a new scratching post. I don't believe in declawing, but if you're worried about damage, you can always adopt a cat that has already been declawed or get nail caps for them. Is there a breed you're most interested in?

[Speaker 1] What are nail caps?  Any breed would be fine...I think I want to stick with a short-haired variety though.  What breeds are your cats?

[Speaker 2] Nail caps are rubber-like caps that vets can put over the claws to prevent cats from scratching on inappropriate things. They fall off over time, but you just get new ones put on when that happens. I have an American Shorthair that I adopted from the humane society and a Maine Coon that I got from a breeder. Are you thinking of adopting or buying?

[Speaker 1] I would like to adopt; I like the idea of rescuing a cat from a shelter.  Would you recommend that I get a kitten or an adult cat?

[Speaker 2] Well, that depends on how prepared you are to deal with various issues. Adopting adult cats is always my preference because everyone wants a kitten and leave the adults behind, but adult cats can come with some problems, like skittishness from trauma or health conditions like FIV. My adopted cat was an adult when I got him. Nobody wanted him because he lost both of his eyes, so he's totally blind. Do you think you'd be able to deal with that kind of thing?

One of my passions is to visit other cities and countries.

I'm a strong and helpful person.

I work for an advertising agency.

[Speaker 1] Whats your favorite football team?

[Speaker 2] Hi there. I volunteer at the fire department.

[Speaker 1] The steelers are my favorite footbal team, seen any broadway shows recently?

[Speaker 2] I'm trying to use my marketing degree to open my own grocery store.

[Speaker 1] Really impressive, I am a psychology major

[Speaker 2] Very nice. College has me still living at home at 30

[Speaker 1] Wow that is unfortunate, I love to wander and travel the world myself

[Speaker 2] I would love to do that too. I am colorblind so things aren't as pretty.

[Speaker 1] They have special glasses now for colorblind people, you should check those out

[Speaker 2] My friend got a pair. He likes them a lot.

[Speaker 1] I bet, I've seen some pretty life changing videos about them

[Speaker 2] Yep. I need to get a pair myself.

My favorite football team is the steelers.

I am a psychology major.

I like to travel.

I volunteer at a fire department.

I have a marketing degree. I want to open a grocery store.

I am 30 years old.

I am color blind.

[Speaker 1] Hi, how is work at the fire department?

[Speaker 2] It's good.  All of my fellow fire fighters are all really fun to be around.  What do you do for work?

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing.  I work at a desk job so it isn't nearly as enjoyable.  That's why I'm always looking forward to my next trip.  Do you ever wish that you used your marketing degree more?

[Speaker 2] Well I'm looking to open a grocery store, so I will definitely start using my marketing degree more. Where do you plan on traveling?

[Speaker 1] Good point.  The grocery store will be a great place to use your marketing. I wonder if I could use my degree there.  I'm heading south for warmer weather.  Do you live in the South?

[Speaker 2] No I live up North.  Vacation in Florida would definitely be nice and relaxing.

[Speaker 1] I wish that the Steelers had made it to the Super Bowl.  Then I could've gone to Florida and watched them play, too!  Who is your favorite football team?

[Speaker 2] I like the Browns.  The Steelers suck, Big Ben is washed out.

[Speaker 1] Wow, don't talk about my favorite team like that!  It's ironic that your team is the name of a color since you're color blind.

[Speaker 2] I still know what brown looks like!

[Speaker 1] Fair enough.  Sometimes I forget you're just a young 30 year old.  Older folks like me tend to have better taste in football teams..

[Speaker 2] Younger folks like me like up and coming football teams, whereas old guys like you stick to the past, and still support washed out teams.

I am a psychology major.

I have a desk job.

I am traveling to the South. I like to travel.

I volunteer at a fire department.

I am 30 years old.I am color blind.

I live in the North. My favorite football team is the Browns.

[Speaker 1] The Steelers are doing great this year!

[Speaker 2] Don't rub it in. Stupid Browns always letting me down.

[Speaker 1] Hey, I'm also a Cubs fan!  So, I get being disappointed.   I was just looking up some more information about my trip to South America.  I can't wait to leave.

[Speaker 2] How long are you going for?

[Speaker 1] I am going to go for a month.  I will be able to telework and I don't have any classes after mid-May.

[Speaker 2] Sweet. That sounds like a trip of a lifetime. Have you decided which countries you're visiting?

[Speaker 1] I will spend a week each in Uruguay, Paraguay, Columbia and Peru.  I am so excited to see all of the different plants and animals and meet people from such different cultures.  Have you had any strange calls at the fire department lately?

[Speaker 2] It's been quiet... a little too quiet. Just kidding. It's given me time to start my business plan for the grocery store I want to open.

[Speaker 1] That's great to hear you're following your dreams.  How much of the business plan do you have done?  Will you have any specialties?

[Speaker 2] I'm thinking of a small store which focusses on local and organic foods. Ride the trends. Am I right?

[Speaker 1] As long as there aren't any other stores like that around you, I think it will be a great success.  People are really looking for organic and local food.

[Speaker 2] I hope so. I'll have all my savings riding on it.


My desire is to become a fashion designer.

Since young I have loved fashion.

My inspirations are alexander mcqueen and coco chanel.

I love to go shopping and inspire myself in stylish stores.

I moved to ny to study in a prestigious designing school.

I was diagnosed with autism.

People in school said I was quiet.

I have not done anything since high school.

I play games at the arcade, still.

I listen to linking park, I do not know why.

I have a good sense of style.

When I was little I enjoyed clothes.

I am really in to fashion.

Fashion is one of my favorite hobbies.

I went to new york city to become a famous designer.

I am on the spectrum.
My friends always say I am shy.
I'm not very active.
I go to the mall to hang out.
I don't want to admit to my inner emo.

[Speaker 1] Currently I'm in school to be a fashion designer. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I'm autistic and stay at home.

[Speaker 1] I am sorry. If you could be anything what would you be?

[Speaker 2] I'd work at the video game arcade. How about you?

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome. You can do that! I want to be a fashion designer.

[Speaker 2] Does that involve talking to people? I'm quiet.

[Speaker 1] Depends. You could have someone do all of the talking for you.

[Speaker 2] That would make me very nervous.

[Speaker 1] Who inspires you? Alexander mcqueen and coco chanel are my inspirations

[Speaker 2] Chester eddington, rip. I love linking park, don't know why.

[Speaker 1] Same here. That band has gotten me through a lot.

[Speaker 2] Me too, it has been hard with his death. Was gonna go see them in tahoe.

[Speaker 1] So many people suffer in silence. Its so sad.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I know how that feels.

I like Linkin Park.

I am autistic. I stay at home. I am a quiet person.

I love Linkin Park.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite Linkin Park song?

[Speaker 2] Numb. I'm surprised you like them. They're a little before your time I would think.

[Speaker 1] Ha! Some bands are timeless in my opinion. I like many bands from that time. Have you listened to them on CD or cassette? lol

[Speaker 2] CD but I've owned a bunch of cassettes in my day. I still remember listening to my Green Day Kerplunk cassette in my walkman in Junior High.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! That's some time back! I like Green Day myself. They have comforted me through some tough times. What drew you to Linkin Park or Green Day?

[Speaker 2] I was a punk kid in the 90s. That's about it. What drew you to fashion?

[Speaker 1] Punk kid huh? You must have some fun stories! Maybe the same thing that drew me to music drew me to fashion. I love expressing my emotions.

[Speaker 2] I find that when it comes to art and music, I prefer it to be melancholy. I find it more beautiful that way. Fashion seems like you would want it the opposite. Bright and vibrant!

[Speaker 1] I get where you're coming from. Fashion is diverse so one can choose to go melancholy or bright and vibrant with fashion. As both fashion and music expresses my emotions, I like a variety for my variety of emotions. How do you feel about that approach?

[Speaker 2] It's perfect. Given my disability I'm always trying to find ways to express myself since i have difficulty doing so in a traditional manner.

I am a student studying to be a fashion designer. I am inspired by Alexander Mcqueen and Coco Chanel.

I enjoy Linkin Park songs and many bands from that time. I like Green Day.

I love expressing my emotions.

I love Linkin Park. I had a walkman in Junior High. I listened to Green Day on my walkman. I was a punk kid in the 90s. I like melancholy art and music.

[Speaker 1] It is surprising that someone as quiet as me enjoys a band like Linkin Park.

[Speaker 2] I find that their music is enjoyable to all types of people! Do you have a favourite song by them?

[Speaker 1] Not really. I love everyone of their songs about the same. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I feel the same way. No single song sticks out above the rest. How about Green Day, any favourite songs?

[Speaker 1] Haha! I feel the same way about Green Day! I got to go to one of their concerts a long time ago. I had a blast!

[Speaker 2] That's so cool! I'd love to go to a concert of theirs some day. I think "American Idiot" has to be a favourite of mine!

[Speaker 1] Have you been to any cool concerts from that genre era?

[Speaker 2] No unfortunately. Like you I am pretty quiet and I also tend to stay home a lot. Did you go to that concert alone or with someone else?

[Speaker 1] I went with a boyfriend. It was a present for my B-day.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds wonderful! I'm sure that's quite a sweet memory for you two.

[Speaker 1] Yes, It was. Too bad we didn't last. Grew apart. I went to school and moved away and he is still in the same place.

[Speaker 2] Ah I see. Yes that is too bad, but such is life I guess. And are you enjoying school as you study to become a fashion designer?


I enjoy snow.

Cheese is my favorite snack food.

I don't like burritos.

I enjoy visiting places that are mexican culture.

My spouse hates us.

I will not go on elevators.
My parents had 5 kids.
I like fairy tales.
I admire lipton beverages.
My mother is the closest person to me.

[Speaker 1] Hi there wow are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm well, so tell me about your family?

[Speaker 1] We all dislike mexican food

[Speaker 2] I do not know about that. I really enjoy it along with a nice iced tea.

[Speaker 1] I travel to mexico a lot

[Speaker 2] I would avoid any of the tall buildings there because heights scare the daylights out of me

[Speaker 1] My wife left me there

[Speaker 2] No way! I am really close with my mom I would ask her for help

[Speaker 1] Maybe she would help me

[Speaker 2] Do you have any other relatives that could help?

[Speaker 1] No they all hate me

[Speaker 2] If mom didn't help I'd probably ask one of my four sisters

[Speaker 1] As long as they don't mind I eat cheetos

[Speaker 2] Perfect. Is it nice to swim there, it would be cool to find some real life mermaids.

[Speaker 1] Spear fishing would be great

[Speaker 2] Good idea! Sounds like fun


I play the trumpet in grade time.

I'm in my last year of education.

I really like to get into a song to see how it is put together.

I'll be attending college in a state south of west virgina.

I have multiple male siblings.

I am emotionally confused.

I'm confused about my sexuality.

The approval of my family is important to me.

I daydream about being a man.

I'm a disappointment.

[Speaker 1] Hi, how are y o

[Speaker 2] Ok. What are your thoughts about gender identities?

[Speaker 1] I feel as though people can live how they choose

[Speaker 2] Do you identify one way or another? I struggle with attraction to both genders.

[Speaker 1] Well I'm only attracted to females. I identify as male

[Speaker 2] What do you think being the opposite gender would be like?

[Speaker 1] I think being a girl would be tough cause I'm in twelfth grade

[Speaker 2] Wow. I think if my parents knew my struggle they would reject me.

[Speaker 1] Parents are supposed to support you no matter what

[Speaker 2] Ideally, yeah. I am still trying to figure out my feelings.

[Speaker 1] It will be ok. Do you have any siblings that can help?

[Speaker 2] No... Just me. Do you have a girlfriend, then?

[Speaker 1] I've older brothers. Yes I've a gf. Are you a boy or girl

[Speaker 2] Both?? I wish I had siblings.

[Speaker 1] So you are basically the best of both worlds

[Speaker 2] I guess. Funny. You getting ready to graduate?


I am a doctor.

I was valedictorian.

I'm married to a lecturer at the university of maryland.

My mom was a star on stage.

I've a daughter.

I left my work to see the world.
I make software.
I love spanish movements.
I'm involved with digital currency.

[Speaker 1] What is your name and what do you want?

[Speaker 2] My name is amir and I want to dance salsa all night

[Speaker 1] I spend my time better, studying and becoming more intelligent

[Speaker 2] I'm engineer, I've already completed my studies. Sorry you are behind!

[Speaker 1] I'm not behind. I'm way ahead of you.

[Speaker 2] So you already have completed a funded project involving bitcoins?

[Speaker 1] Of course. I am the smartest person in my class and still is

[Speaker 2] Then why did you have grammar error if you are so smart?

[Speaker 1] You are the fool! My little girl will be the next einstein

[Speaker 2] I am sure that will happen.

[Speaker 1] My girl will rule over you and your children

[Speaker 2] That sounds good! I need to pack. I am traveling for the next two months.

[Speaker 1] Where to my strange friend?

[Speaker 2] The farthest point I can get to in siberia


I am unemployed and living off a trust fund.

I like getting my nails done.

I once lost a diamond at a debutante ball.

I own a french bulldog.

My favorite sport is basketball.

I'm an avid runner.

I live in canada, near ontario.

My favorite basketball team is the vancouver grizzlies.

My parents gave me a lot of money so I don't work.

I enjoy manicures.

I'd lose my head it if were not attached to my shoulders.

I own a cute puppy.

I enjoy throwing balls in the hoops.
I am a fitness junkie.
I am canadian.
I like to watch sports.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Hello! I'm great! Are you into any sports? I like basketball alot

[Speaker 1] I don't really like sport. It ruins my nails.

[Speaker 2] That'sn't bad, I would also call myself an avid runner believe it or not

[Speaker 1] Oh, I like to jog in the morning with my cute dog.

[Speaker 2] Running is great in canada, near ontario. That's where I live

[Speaker 1] Oh, that is so cool. What do you do in your spare time?

[Speaker 2] I like to run to watch my favorite basketball team, the vancouver grizzlies

[Speaker 1] Very cool! I don't have a tv right now, but that is okay

[Speaker 2] That is still is very cool lol

[Speaker 1] Have you ever been to a debutante ball? They are great

[Speaker 2] No not recently I cannot say

[Speaker 1] Oh, that is a shame. Though my last experience at one was terrible.

[Speaker 2] That sucks, tell me more

I don't like sports.
I have a dog. I like to jog.
I don't own a tv.

I like basketball. I like to run.

I live in Canada. The Vancouver Grizzlies are my favorite basketball team.

[Speaker 1] What's your favorite place to visit in Canada?

[Speaker 2] There are so many beautiful places I like in Canada but my favourite is Jasper National Park, incredible place, so much beauty.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a great place to visit. I love going to places with my dog.

[Speaker 2] You would love it in Canada then probably. Some smaller towns with beautiful nature all around. Perfect for walks with the dog. Have you ever been to Canada?

[Speaker 1] No, but I do think I would like to go someday. Since I don't have a TV I prefer to see things with my own two eyes.

[Speaker 2] Seeing places on TV is good but nothing like seeing it with your own eyes. Why do you not have a TV, don't you like to watch anything?

[Speaker 1] I feel like having a TV takes time away from things that I really like to do, like jogging with my dog. I don't like sports either, which is something a lot of people spend tons of time watching on Tv.

[Speaker 2] Hmm, I know what you mean, people don't realise it but many spend a lot of time in front of it. I have to admit I watch basketball a lot. I love that sport.

[Speaker 1] Well, I can understand why TV is more popular in Canada since it's often so cold outside. Jogging must require bundling up!

[Speaker 2] In Vancouver is actually not that cold, although we have some really cold days during winter. But more in the east the winters are incredibly cold, I don't like it too much. I prefer to enjoy the warm summer days.

[Speaker 1] Yes, summer days are nice for jogging, The dog loves them too.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine, do you keep the dog in the house or in the garden?

I don't like sports. I like to jog with my dog in the summer.

I don't own a tv.

I love to go places with my dog.

I would like to go to Canada one day.

I like to run. I prefer summer to winter.

I live in Vancouver. The Vancouver Grizzlies are my favorite basketball team.

I like to visit outdoor parks in Canada.

I have a dog.

I would rather see something in person than on TV.

[Speaker 1] I just booked tickets to finally travel to Canada!

[Speaker 2] How exciting! I wish I could come and see the Grizzlies play, lol. When are you going?

[Speaker 1] I will be flying in June to Vancouver to visit my old friend. We can also meet up if you are up to it.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's so sweet of you. I wouldn't want to take time away from you two. You must be so excited!

[Speaker 1] I am indeed, I will be there for one month so I have plenty of time. Are there any games of Vancouver Grizzlies in June?

[Speaker 2] Sadly not. But thankyou for thinking of me. I'm glad you're going in the summer! Will the pup be coming too?

[Speaker 1] Ah alright then. Yeah my little Rocket is coming with me. I can't imagine how he will survive without me for whole month. What is your dogs name?

[Speaker 2] Charlie! Rocket is such a great name, haha. I bet he'll have so much fun!

[Speaker 1] So as you are living in Vancouver. Which parks are first choice to visit with my dog?

[Speaker 2] There's so many it's hard to choose from. I'd recommend going to any early in the day though, they can get pretty busy in the nice weather@

[Speaker 1] Are there special rules with walking a dog in the parks in Canada? Sorry for asking I've just never been in Canada before.

[Speaker 2] They need to be on a leash at all times, except some dog parks will let you go off leash. Always best to be leashed up, just in case. You never know who's badly trained dog is out there, ha!

[Speaker 1] Cool. Did you find some?

[Speaker 2] I found some great jeans. Reculed is the coolest.

[Speaker 1] Nice. I like that too. I love to garden too. You do any cooking?

[Speaker 2] Not much, I'm to busy with school, but I love the outdoors.

[Speaker 1] Oh what are you studying?

[Speaker 2] Biology at berkley. I love it here in california.

[Speaker 1] Sweet. I've thought about photography classes since I enjoy it.

[Speaker 2] Awesome. Photography is an art. I wish I could take decent pics.

i like to bake
i like to garden.

i'm in school. i love the outdoors.

i am studying biology at berkley. i love california.

i admire photography. i'm not good at taking pictures.

[Speaker 1] i took some new photos this weekend, wanna see them?

[Speaker 2] Yes sure. I am excited to see the photographs.

[Speaker 1] I think I improved quite a bit at photography and thinking about posting some of them on my blog

[Speaker 2] Ohhh that's great!! I will be the first one to read the blog and comment.

[Speaker 1] I will send you the photos later on. What have you been up to ?

[Speaker 2] I had my exams at school. It went well. How's your gardening goin on?

[Speaker 1] Pretty well, I planted 3 new flowers: Roses, Dandelions and Tulips. Do you know much about plant biology ?

[Speaker 2] Great!! Did you take pictures of that as well? I am not good with plant biology.

[Speaker 1] No, they did not blossom yet but I will take some photos once they do. I'm actually thinking about making my blog about gardening, do you have your own blog ?

[Speaker 2] That will be a good idea so that you can show off your photography skills and gardening skill as well. No, I don't have a blog but I am planning to after my studies.

[Speaker 1] When will you finish your studies ? Is it hard to study biology ?

[Speaker 2] It will take another one more year to finish my course. It is kind of okay to study. Let's leave the topic about studies. I am already frustrated with exams. Did you bake anything recently?

I like to bake. I like to garden. I have a garden.

I take photos.

I have a blog. I want to make my blog about gardening.

I love the outdoors.

I am studying biology at Berkley. I have a year left in school. I don't know plant biology. I love california.

I admire photography. I'm not good at taking pictures.

I don't have a blog.

[Speaker 1] What's your favorite place in California?

[Speaker 2] Big Sur and Hearst Castle for sure. Just a long mountainous coastline that is breathtaking. And much less visited than places like Lake Tahoe. I like it when the places I travel to are not overcrowded. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I've never been to California but I have seen many photos of the Redwood trees and would love to go to the Redwood parks. Have you been there?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, it is really nice. I go camping there sometimes. Are you into camping?

[Speaker 1] I've never tried camping, besides this one time I pitched a tent next to my garden and slept there for the night as an experiment for my blog followers  ha.

[Speaker 2] Haha, that is pretty funny. What was the experiment focused on?

[Speaker 1] Well we had a very unusual frost in June one year and I was worried my tomatoes would all die. I heard somewhere that professional gardeners will sleep outside with their plants to prevent them from dying. I tried it out, it was miserable but my tomatoes did not die!

[Speaker 2] Wow that is so interesting. I have never had a garden, but have definitely killed a couple of indoor plants on my watch. People assume that if you know biology you can keep plants alive. Definitely not! So what did you do to prevent them from dying?

[Speaker 1] I kept them covered and everything worked out. It was definitely something I will remember forever. Do you plan to stay in California when you are done with school?

[Speaker 2] It really depends. After I finish my biology degree, I am interested in getting into pharmacology. So, that will likely mean pursuing a masters degree. But other days I think to myself, I might have had enough school!

[Speaker 1] Oh I bet! Would you be able to continue that degree at Berkley? Or would you have to relocate for that degree?

[Speaker 2] I think it's always a good experience to try a new place. New city, new university! I am used to moving around since I grew up in a military family. Have you always lived in the same place, or moved around?

[Speaker 2] Indeed! At least I have my cat do you have animals?

[Speaker 1] I absolutely adore animals, I've only a cat and dog though!

[Speaker 2] I've always wanted a dog, I'll ask for one for my birthday in june

[Speaker 1] They are a responsibility though, like everything. I saved money on meat though

[Speaker 2] Good point, I will have to find a job first otherwise I wo not be able to feed him

[Speaker 1] Got any good job ideas you might like?

[Speaker 2] I'm only 16 so maybe working in a grocery store or something like that. Do you work?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm and front stage actress now

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Do you have a play in june? I could ask for tickets for my day

I have a cat and a dog.
I work as an actress.

I am unemployed. I live with my parents.

I have a cat.

My birthday is in June.

I am 16 years old.

[Speaker 1] I have tickets for my play in June.

[Speaker 2] Nice. I would love to go but I am unemployed at the moment. Can I get them for free ?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I got these tickets for you and your parents.

[Speaker 2] Wonderful, we will definitely be there. I hear you are going to play a major role in the play. Are you nervous ?

[Speaker 1] I am! This is the first lead role I have ever played, but acting comes naturally for me. How are your parents, by the way?

[Speaker 2] Glad to hear, sounds like you have what it takes to eventually become a Broadway star. They are doing great, thanks for asking. In fact, they are planning me a birthday party this June. Do not worry though , it is not on the day of your play.  Would you like to come ?

[Speaker 1] I would love to come! You'll be 17 this year right? You are growing up so fast! What would you like for your birthday?

[Speaker 2] I know, It is hard to believe I am about to be 17. For my present, I would  like a scratching post for my cat. I hear cats like them. Do you have one ? If so, is it worth it ?

[Speaker 1] Yes, my cat loves hers! It also help keep her from scratching on the furniture. Do you have a cat tree? You can get them with scratching posts. Your cat would LOVE it!

[Speaker 2] No way ! That sounds awesome. Then for my birthday, I definitely would appreciate a cat tree. By the way, I forgot your cat's name. What was it again ?

[Speaker 1] Her name is Luna. What was your cats name? I don't think you have ever mentioned it.

[Speaker 2] I knew that was the name. Thanks for reminding me. You're right I have not, its name is Leo DiCaprio. Coincidently, your favorite actor's name. Right ?

I have a cat and a dog. My cat's name is Luna.

I work as an actress.

I own tickets for a play in June. I am an actor.

I was born in June. I will turn 17 next June. I own a cat.

My cats name is Leo DiCaprio.

[Speaker 1] My play has been cancelled.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry to hear that! Which play were you supposed to be in?

[Speaker 1] I was going to be in a version of Hamilton, but oh well... I'm sure I can find another play. Maybe not another lead role, but hopefully something fun. Have you ever been in a play?

[Speaker 2] No, I'm not very good at being in front of large groups. I'm definitely afraid of public speaking. Have you always been comfortable being in front of lots of people?

[Speaker 1] It was a process for sure! I didn't like it at first, but I've discovered that if I just go fully into the role and pretend like the people are seeing the character, not me, I can do it just fine. Have you ever taken a speech class? How did you find out you weren't good with being in front of large groups?

[Speaker 2] I am in a speech class right now because my school requires it. When I had to give my first speech in front of the class, I got so nervous that I almost fainted! My parents said that they'll be my audience for the next one so that I can practice, but I don't get nervous in front of them. Do you have any tips?

[Speaker 1] Sure! One thing that works for me is to remember that if anyone else were in my shoes, they would be nervous too, and that helps keep me calm. Also, it helps to really research what you're talking about, so you know you have all the information you need, and you can be confident in your knowledge. Look around the room, but I've found it's better not to make eye contact, but just gaze near someone's face. They can't tell the difference, and it keeps the pressure low.

[Speaker 2] Those are some good ideas. My mom said to picture everyone in their underwear, but I don't want to imagine myself talking to a room of people in underwear. How old were you when you started acting?

[Speaker 1] Haha I agree! I think that's a little silly myself. I was actually really young. I was 7 when I began, and it took off from there. I guess I never really had time to be nervous.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, that is young. Did you get into it because you wanted to, or did your parents want you to do it?

[Speaker 1] I think a little of both. My parents knew I would enjoy it, but I thought it looked cool too. Have you ever done anything just to make your parents happy?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I played the saxophone in middle school because my mom wanted me to "be musical", as she put it. I dropped that once I got into high school, though, because I just didn't enjoy it. Do you play any instruments?

[Speaker 1] So how has your day been so far?

[Speaker 2] My day has been great. I got to see my girlfriend who lives next door.

[Speaker 1] Sounds nice, one of my daughters is dating the boy next door

[Speaker 2] How do you feel about that?

[Speaker 1] I got lucky, he is a good kid, thank goodness

[Speaker 2] Good what does he look like? I sport a rather large mustache

[Speaker 1] Well, he's still baby faced, does your girl like the mustache?

[Speaker 2] She doesn't mind it. I started growing it when I got sober.

[Speaker 1] Congratulations, that's an accomplishment, you should be proud

[Speaker 2] Thank you! I'm still in recovery, but I have not had alcohol in a long time

[Speaker 1] Awesome, I do not drink much since my girls were born, lots of shopping though

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a fun hobby! How many daughters do you have?

[Speaker 1] Three, I'm teaching them how to bow hunt, their mom hates it

[Speaker 2] Wow! Were you inspired by the hunger games?

[Speaker 1] I was, I hoping to dress the girls in hunger games costumes for halloween

[Speaker 2] That may seem threatening to some candy givers.

I do a lot of shopping. I have three daughters.

I know how to bow hunt.

My girlfriend lives next door.

I have a large mustache.

I am in recovery.  I have not had any alcohol in a long time.

[Speaker 1] I dressed my three girls in hunger games costumes, and took them trick-or-treating for Halloween!  They all collected a lot of candy.  Their mom wasn't happy, but she was in a better mood when the girls shared their candy with her.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. I'll bet they looked great. Did you buy the costumes or make them?

[Speaker 1] We made the costumes. We shopped at thrift stores to find clothes that we thought would look like the characters from the books and movies. My oldest daughter dressed as Katniss, my middle daughter dressed as Rue, and my youngest daughter dressed as Effie.

[Speaker 2] My girlfriend dressed as Harley Quinn. She wanted me to be Joker, but I wouldn't shave my mustache. I went as Commissioner Gordon instead. She made both our costumes.

[Speaker 1] That is fun that the two of you still dress up. Did you go out to some event or stay at home and hand out candy while dressed up?

[Speaker 2] We handed out candy to the children, but I have a sweet tooth, so I ate a lot too. We always buy way too much candy and have tons leftover.

[Speaker 1] That is a good plan. We always have a "candy tax" on our kids. For every half hour that we go trick-or-treating with them, they each have to give us each one piece of candy. Then my wife and I watch a movie while eating the candy tax. But this Halloween since my wife was mad at me, she made me give her all the candy I got.

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea. If you don't mind me asking, why was your wife mad?

[Speaker 1] She was mad because it was a school night when I took the girls shopping for their costumes and also because Halloween was on a school night and they stayed up way too late trick-or-treating. But so did all the other kids, and it's only one day per year. I work until 6 at night, so I had no choice. My wife is the disciplinarian in the house and I'm the "fun parent."

I do a lot of shopping. I know how to bow hunt.

I hope to dress my daughters in Hunger Games costumes for Halloween. I have 3 daughters. I let my kids stay up late on Halloween. My wife is the disciplinarian in the house while I'm the fun parent.

My girlfriend lives next door.

I have a large mustache.

I like candy.

[Speaker 1] I stole some of the candy back that my wife confiscated from me after she stopped being angry.

[Speaker 2] Ooh, nice. What got you in trouble?

[Speaker 1] I let my kids stay up and eat Halloween candy. I did it when I was a kid and it was a great memory. Would you rather be 40 and remember going to bed every halloween or staying up building memories with your dad?

[Speaker 2] Well as long as they don't eat too much I don't see the harm. How was the candy haul this year?

[Speaker 1] great. We had a fund time. I just wish my wife liked to have more fun with them. Why have kids if you can't have fun?

[Speaker 2] I think your wife probably wants to have fun but feels like she can't. My dad was kinda the same way when I was a kid.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it is hard. How was that when you were a kid? what was your dad like?

[Speaker 2] He was closed off from me and my siblings. Never really did any activities with us. He loosened up in my teens but it hurt when I was little.

[Speaker 1] See and I don't want to do that. Did you get to have fun on halloween? get any candy?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I always got to have fun with my siblings. Not like Dad was mean or anything, just kinda distant I guess? Makes me a little nervous to be a dad myself.

[Speaker 1] What about this year? did you and your gf get to have a good halloween?

[Speaker 2] Spent it handing out candy this year. Figured we'd skip the parties this time since I'm avoiding booze.
