I like the ocean.

I am great at fishing, so I eat a lot of fish.

I listen to a lot of sublime on the beach near my condo.

During the day I work at doctors office as a doctor's assistant.

My favorite hobby is scuba diving.
I've been to hawaii three times.
I'm a us marine veteran.
I have two pet snakes.
My wife and I just got divorced.

I enjoy spending time at the library. I also like the ocean. I like fishing. I have been to Hawaii once. I live near the beach.

I am a Doctor's assistant.

I do not have any pets.

I love scuba diving. I have been to Hawaii three times.

I was in the Marines.

I have 2 pet snakes.

I am divorced.

I want to go on a cruise one day.

[Speaker 1] If you do not find me in the library, you see me beside the ocean.

[Speaker 2] Okay me too, my favorite hobby to scuba dive.

[Speaker 1] I learnt thats fun. I love fishing.

[Speaker 2] That great. I been to hawaii about 3 times, have you been there..

[Speaker 1] I have just been there once but I have a beach beside my house.

[Speaker 2] That is cool. I am a marine veteran.

[Speaker 1] Okay, I work as a doctor assistant and do other things at night.

[Speaker 2] Wow. I have 2 snakes as pets. Do you have any pets..

[Speaker 1] No the only pet I have is killing fishes and eating them.

[Speaker 2] Okay. I was marry to my wife and now we are divorced..

[Speaker 1] I am sorry to hear that. Have you ever been on a cruise?

[Speaker 2] Thanks, but one day I will go on the cruise..

[Speaker 1] I am sure you will enjoy it.

[Speaker 2] Thanks. I hope I will.

I am a Doctor's assistant.

I do not have any pets.

I was in the Marines.

I have 2 pet snakes.

I am divorced.

I want to go on a cruise one day.

[Speaker 1] I caught the biggest fish just now - it was 8 feet long!

[Speaker 2] Oh really, what type of fish was it? Did it have any distinct colours to it?

[Speaker 1] It was a kingfish. They are whitish-silver with a darker greenish on top

[Speaker 2] Wow it sounded like a beautiful fish. Do you get many chances to go fishing in the week?

[Speaker 1] I try to go out at leas once a month. My job as a Doctor's assistance takes up all of my time. So I cannot go as many times as I would like.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I understand that. Working can just take up so much of your time. Back in the day when I was a Marine, I didn't get chance to have a social life really. It's really important though to make time for friends and family and a few hobbies every here and there.

[Speaker 1] I would love to take some time off and visit Hawaii again. This time I would try to get in some fishing there.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like an amazing trip. Hawaii is a truly beautiful place, I've been lucky enough to go three times and still never get bored of it.

[Speaker 1] It is a great place. Last time I did the normal touristy stuff. But I would like to really explore the place.

[Speaker 2] Yes it's definitely worth looking further into the natural sites of Hawaii and research the less touristy things to do. Have you managed to travel to many countries?

[Speaker 1] no, I only traveled in the United States. But I bet as a Marine you went to a lot of countries.

[Speaker 2] Well, i'd definitely recommend trying to book some time off work to travel. You are only young once and travelling the world is one of the best things to do. Yes, as a Marine you do tend to travel quite a bit actually. Is there anywhere you really wish you could go?

I enjoy spending time at the library. I also like the ocean. I like fishing. I live near the beach.

I am a Doctor's assistant.

I do not have any pets.

I just caught an 8 foot long fish! It was a kingfish.

I try to go fishing at least once a month.

I want to take time off to visit Hawaii again. I did touristy stuff last time I went to Hawaii. I want to explore it more next time.

I've only traveled in the United States.

I have 2 pet snakes.

I am divorced.

I want to go on a cruise one day.

I used to be a Marine. it kept me too busy for a social life and hobbies. As a Marine I traveled a lot.

[Speaker 1] I just put in for vacation time. decided I was going to book a trip to Hawaii and not put it off any longer!

[Speaker 2] I am going on scuba diving next week.

[Speaker 1] There are so many things that I want to do in Hawaii that I'm not sure what to do first.

[Speaker 2] Maybe go to fishing first. I also want to go for vacation. Are you going alone?

[Speaker 1] Fishing sounds like a good idea to me as I will probably be going alone this time so I can relax more.

[Speaker 2] I will probably be going on a cruise. I always wanted to go on a cruise.

[Speaker 1] I wonder if I could do a small cruise around the islands while I'm in Hawaii. That would be a good way to find more spots to visit.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that will be nice. I am going to go play soccer tomorrow. Do you play any sports?

[Speaker 1] I'm not really a sports person except for fishing if that counts. I'm hoping to catch some real good fish while I'm there.

[Speaker 2] I think you will. I sometime likes to go to fishing on the weekend.

[Speaker 1] I'm hoping to see some waterfalls and maybe some volcano flows in Hawaii this trip.

[Speaker 2] You should go to the Island Oahu. It's the most popular Hawaiian island, as well as the cheapest.

I am a Doctor's assistant.

I do not have any pets.

I am going on vacation to Hawaii. I will likely be going alone on vacation. I want to see waterfalls and volcanos in Hawaii.

I do not play sports.

I have 2 pet snakes.

I am divorced.

I want to go on a cruise one day.

I am going scuba diving next week.

I want to go on vacation to Hawaii. I will probably go on a cruise.

I play soccer.

I like to go fishing on the weekend.

[Speaker 1] I just mapped out an itinerary with tons of cool sights and events for my trip.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like so much fun! What's first on the agenda?

[Speaker 1] I'm gonna hit up some of the beaches first, and then go see the mountains. I can't wait! Hey, maybe you could come along?

[Speaker 2] That would be nice but I just booked the cruise! I'm going down to Mexico for a bit!

[Speaker 1] That sounds like fun too! Another time then. What are you planning to do there?

[Speaker 2] I'm planning on scuba diving a bit, maybe a little surfing. I just need some time to relax!

[Speaker 1] True, don't we all! I wonder if they have nice fishing spots there?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure! I'll check in with a local and see! I'm sure there are different laws and licenses in Mexico for fishing though.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah I'm there there's mad restrictions. How are your snakes doing though?

[Speaker 2] They're good! I'm having my neighbor come and feed them while I'm away!

[Speaker 1] Nice! I'm thinking about getting a pet dog soon in fact. Pretty different than a snake lol. Are snakes hard to take care of?

[Speaker 2] Wow that's cool!! What kind of dog? And snakes aren't that hard, they don't eat too often and are pretty chill!

I am a Doctor's assistant.

I do not play sports.

I don't have a pet, but I want a dog.

I have 2 pet snakes.

I am divorced.

I want to go on a cruise one day.

I am going scuba diving next week. I am going on a cruise to Mexico.

I play soccer.

I like to go fishing on the weekend.

I don't know much about fishing.

My neighbor will feed my snakes while I am away. It is easy to take care of my snake.

[Speaker 1] I bet they have some cool reptiles in Mexico.

[Speaker 2] Yes they do! I saw a Gila monster there, and a rainbow-bellied snake when I was in Mexico City a few years ago!

[Speaker 1] That sounds neat! I can't wait! Have you ever been there?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I was there for a church group with my son's church. We built houses for the homeless as part of an outreach group. Have you ever been to Mexico, yourself?

[Speaker 1] Wow! Sounds like a great experience. I haven't yet, but I'm looking forward to the cruise!

[Speaker 2] Did you decide if you were bringing anyone with you on the cruise? Or just taking some time by yourself?

[Speaker 1] I think I just want to do it solo. Maybe meet new friends on the cruise. When are you going to Hawaii?

[Speaker 2] Next week! I am going with my friend Paul.  We are planning on going surfing and eating at our favorite Polynesian BBQ restaurant in Maui!

[Speaker 1] For some reason I didn't see your last message...weird.

[Speaker 2] I said that I was going, next week! I am going with my friend Paul.  We are planning on going surfing and eating at our favorite Polynesian BBQ restaurant in Maui!

[Speaker 1] Sounds amazing! Hawaii is always a good time. I highly recommend checking out some of the smaller islands. Less touristy.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, sometimes you just want a more private and quiet vacation! Do you have any favorite spots you prefer?

[Speaker 1] Hey just got out of school, finally get to chat!

[Speaker 2] Nice. I just finished work. I'm a doctor's assistant.

[Speaker 1] That sounds, nice I'm been getting straight a's so I can grow up to be a doctor.

[Speaker 2] Awesome. I like spending time fishing in the ocean. When I'm not working.

[Speaker 1] I love the ocean nice place to relax and listen to music.

[Speaker 2] Exactly. I listen to sublime at my beach condo..

[Speaker 1] I mostly just listen while I'm running at track practice. Do you eat the fish?

[Speaker 2] Yes I do. I love eating fish. I fish so I do quite a bit.

[Speaker 1] My mom always cooks fish, I don't really care for it.

[Speaker 2] It's good stuff. Try a different kind of fish. Either way the ocean is so nice..

[Speaker 1] What about your family? Are you married?

[Speaker 2] I'm single. Live on my own with my pet dog scruff. How about you?

[Speaker 1] My dad is a steelworker, never home, just me and my mom.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I ran away from home. I don't know what my parents do now.

I love the beach. I enjoy music.

I am in track. I run.

I work as a doctor's assistant.

I like to fish in the ocean.

I like eating fish.

[Speaker 1] Have you been fishing at your beach condo lately?

[Speaker 2] I have! I went out this morning and caught 3 moderately sized fish and I got to keep one for dinner.

[Speaker 1] What kind was it? I'm still not a fan of fish maybe I haven't tried one i like

[Speaker 2] I caught a Tuna. Have you tried Tuna before? It

[Speaker 1] I have and I didnt like it very much.  the only fish I sort of liked was mahi mahi but i think it was more of the way it was seasoned.  It hid the fish taste

[Speaker 2] Fish is definitely an acquired taste. How has school been?

[Speaker 1] im passing everything which is good.  The year is almost over so I cant wait for summer.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome, congratulations! Do you plan on running a lot over the summer?

[Speaker 1] oh yea I have to stay in shape for track.  Im trying to get under 20 minutes for a 5k im at 32 now

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! I'm sure you'll hit that 20 minute mark. Lots of practice, but it'll be worth it in the end

[Speaker 1] I hope so, the better I do the more likely I can get a scholarship to college

[Speaker 2] That would be fantastic. Have you started looking into what schools you want to apply to?

I love the beach. I enjoy music.

I am in track. I run.

I live with my mom. My dad works with steel.

I don't like to eat fish.  I don't like tuna.

I work as a doctor's assistant.

I like to fish in the ocean.

I like eating fish. I go fishing.

[Speaker 1] Are you on the hunt for any new fishing gear for this summer?

[Speaker 2] You know it.  I want to get some gear that is rated for heavier fish.  I want to try and catch a big tuna.

[Speaker 1] Oh I hate tuna!  Maybe you could share a few recipes that would make me like it.

[Speaker 2] I like to grill it with lemon and a lot of seasoning.  Its a tasty fish, not my favorite but I just want to get one because they are so huge!

[Speaker 1] Fishing must take a lot of time, how often does your work let you get out on the water?

[Speaker 2] Its an all day thing.  I try and get out 1 to 2 weekends a month during the warm months.  The doctor I work for doesnt operate on weekends so I have the time.

[Speaker 1] That's great to hear!  I want to work in medicine too, I'm glad to hear there's still time for hanging out by the ocean.  I'm a hard worker but you have to leave time for relaxing!

[Speaker 2] You have to unwind somehow otherwise you snap.  YOu cant go 24/7 you need some me time

[Speaker 1] Exactly.  Right now I'm working on a bunch of applications for school, and whenever I get overwhelmed with all the paperwork I just go out for a long run.  Helps me refocus when I get back.

[Speaker 2] I find that stepping away from the stress of something like that even for a little while helps.  Its good to take a break and get a new look at the issue.  What schools are you looking at?

[Speaker 1] My mom wants me to look at some private schools in my area.  She thinks they'll give me the best chance at a good med school later.  They're really expensive, though, I'll need a lot of scholarships or I'll end up in debt.

[Speaker 2] having all the debt can put you in a bad headspace.  Once you get out of the private school and hit up college try and do your gen eds at a community college.  its cheaper and they should transfer.

I love the beach. I enjoy music.

I am in track. I run.

I'm trying to get a scholarship for college. I am applying to school.

I am a hard worker.  I enjoy relaxing.

I want to go to med school after college.  I will need scholarships for college.

I work as a doctor's assistant.

I like to fish in the ocean.

I like eating fish. I go fishing. I want to buy some new fishing gear.  I want to take a fishing trip to catch big tuna.

I like to grill. Tuna is not my favorite fish to eat. I like fishing for sport.

I have weekends off.  I go fishing at least once a month in the summer.

[Speaker 1] Did you go fishing? Caught any fish that you've been able to cook up? How big is your Condo?

[Speaker 2] Yes, i went to fishing last weekend and the best part it was not tuna, I caught a Salmon and it was grilled with all spices and it was perfect. My condo is pretty average i guess 3 rooms but it has a pretty nice view though. Did you go to the beach ?

[Speaker 1] Your salmon sounds delicious. I wish I could cook. That is something I need to practice more. Are you a good cook? I am hoping to go to the beach soon.

[Speaker 2] I can grill well and specially those fish but as a cook not so great. i have a lot of experience in eating bad food that i made myself. that's great. Do you do your run on the beach ?

[Speaker 1] Grilling might be a good way to get into cooking. Yes, I have run on the beach before, it is harder than running on track but good practice. I am hoping to plan a trip to the beach during the summer.

[Speaker 2] That sounds awesome.  What is your longest have you run? Do you plan on running 5K or 10K in the future?

[Speaker 1] I have training for 5K. I am so close at the moment. Hoping to get there by next month for when the coach comes to see if I could get a scholarship.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure you will do great. I wish i could run 5K or have some training but i don't have the stamina for it. Have you decided what kind of doctor will you become?

[Speaker 1] I am hoping to become an oncologist. I think it is such a powerful and important job and I really hope to make a difference in the future.

I am in school. I'm a straight A student. I want to be a doctor when I grow up. I want to become an oncologist.

I love the beach. I enjoy music.

I am in track. I run. I am training for a 5K. I have a running coach.

I am a hard worker.  I enjoy relaxing.

I cannot cook. I want to go the beach soon. I like salmon.

I have run on the beach before. I am a runner. I am hoping to plan a trip to the beach in the summer.

I work as a doctor's assistant.

I like to fish in the ocean.

I like to grill. I am good at grilling. I am not a good cook. Tuna is not my favorite fish to eat. I like fishing for sport.

I like salmon better than tuna. I have a 3 room condo with a good view.

I don't have enough stamina to run.

[Speaker 1] I just bought some salmon at the store! About to try my hand at grilling for the first time.

[Speaker 2] I bet you'll be great at it! what kind of seasoning will you put on it?

[Speaker 1] I bought some stuff called Old Bay. I'm going to sprinkle that all over it. I have a question for you, do I need to put foil under the fish when I grill it?

[Speaker 2] I think I would. Everytime I grill, I use a cedar plank. If I was grilling without it, I would be afraid my fish would fall into the coals! That would be awful.

[Speaker 1] I was wondering if the fish would fall through. Now I wish that I bought some cedar planks. I didn't even know that was a thing!

[Speaker 2] I didn't know either, before my friend gave me one. Now, I wouldn't grill without it.

[Speaker 1] This will be, by far, the most complicated meal I've ever cooked. It'll be the first time I've made rice as well.

[Speaker 2] Rice is easy - just don't let it burn. I did that once. Boy, it too FOREVER to get the smell out of the condo.

[Speaker 1] I'm using my mom's rice cooker. She told me it's idiot proof, but I'm still not too confident. She told me the same thing about changing the tire on my car and that didn't work out so well.

[Speaker 2] Hey, a rice cooker is cool. I wish I had one, but it's just me, and I really don't eat that much rice. Now, about that tire...that sounds like a STORY...lol

[Speaker 1] Hey, the important thing about that story is that no one got hurt. Right???

[Speaker 2] That's always the most important thing. I have never had to change a tire, thank goodness. Even though I try to be pretty self-sufficient, I'm not sure how I would do at that...


I'm an omnivore.
I like bicycling.
I work on computers for my job.
I like most music.
I like reading.

I live on a houseboat.

I just graduated with my master's degree.

I work as a bartender.

I have four brothers and sisters.

My mother works for fedex.

My job is working on computers. I have previously had a bartending job. I enjoyed my bartending job.

I love to read. I love to bicycle. I enjoy eating.

I have a master's degree. I have a bartending job.

I have four siblings.

My mom works at FedEx. I help my mom at FedEx occasionally. I do not usually read.

[Speaker 1] Hayyy. How are you tonight?

[Speaker 2] I'm great, and you? What are you up to?

[Speaker 1] I am listening to music at the moment! And just getting everything ready 4 work tomorrow!

[Speaker 2] What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 1] I work on computers! (i build em, fix em) all that fun stuff. Lol how bout you?

[Speaker 2] I actually just got my master's degree, but bartending until I find something else.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice! I've done that before myself (bartending!) I liked it. Do you?

[Speaker 2] It's cool. Helps me when I have parties on my houseboat!

[Speaker 1] Oh I bet! And you get to meet new folks all the time! Houseboat huh? Sounds fun!

[Speaker 2] It is but can get really crowded. Especially when my four siblings come visit!

[Speaker 1] Your life sounds fun actually! Do you like to read?

[Speaker 2] Don't really have time. I also help my mom at fedex quite a bit.

[Speaker 1] I love to read. I also love bicycling as well and eating of course.

[Speaker 2] Eating and bicycling don't seem like a good match!

I have four siblings.

[Speaker 1] What's your least favorite part of having a houseboat?

[Speaker 2] Probably the part where I need to pay to empty out the tank that our toilet and water empties into!

[Speaker 1] Yes, that does sound like a real stinker job!  How long have you been living on a houseboat?

[Speaker 2] For about 3 years now! Oh man it's the best.. I feel like I have so much freedom and I don't disturb anybody with how loud we play music and talk

[Speaker 1] I think it's a very romantic idea to live on the water like that.  I knew a guy who loved on a sailboat in the marina full time.  He seemed to like that.  Do you ever see yourself coming back to dry land?

[Speaker 2] No way, i love being on the water. It could be romantic for sure but I do not have another in my life to share that with and I am not ready to settle down. I would only come back if something happened to my boat that I couldn't fix

[Speaker 1] I understand.  Say, you never told me what you got your master's degree in.

[Speaker 2] I got my bachelors in business administration but realized that I did not want to run my own business, not yet anyway

[Speaker 1] And then was your master's degree in business administration as well?  Either way, congratulations as that's a big accomplishment.

[Speaker 2] Thank you, yes I meant masters. It was a huge achievement but not one I am really feeling since I haven't put the certification to any use

[Speaker 1] Well, don't feel too bad.  I got through two years of college studying computer science and then dropped out.  So I didn't even get a degree!

[Speaker 2] Oh no friend, I am so sorry to hear that! Is there any way you can retrieve the credits that you earned so you can go back and resume?

I have four siblings.

I have a bachelor's in business administration. I have a master's in business administration.

[Speaker 1] How is the houseboat life going?

[Speaker 2] I mean, it's a houseboat. So it's pretty much always amazing. Have you considered a houseboat?

[Speaker 1] No. I'm afraid of sleepwalking and going out the front door and drowning!  I think I'll stick to the land.

[Speaker 2] Well, it isn't for everyone, but I love that boat life. I wake up. I cruise around the marina. It's nice. Do you sleepwalk often?

[Speaker 1] No, I was just kidding.  I'm sure one of the nice things about a houseboat is you don't have to worry too much about noisy neighbors. Or anyone complaining about your parties.

[Speaker 2] True. That is nice. But I also get to just cruise around the harbor. I can even sail to different ports. The flexibility is nice. Have you been to one of my classic houseboat parties?

[Speaker 1] No, I'd enjoy it sometime, especially if you need any help tending bar!  I miss doing that.

[Speaker 2] Well we will always need that. But you should also enjoy the party! I'm having one in a couple weeks. You free around the 19th?

[Speaker 1] I think so. I have a few PC's I'm refurbishing, but I should be finished by then.

[Speaker 2] Perfect. I'd send you my address, but I don't know what pier I'll be at. They usually start around 9. That work for you?

[Speaker 1] Sure, 9 is great! I'm pretty much a night person.

[Speaker 2] Excellent. Once I know where I'll be posting up, I'll definitely let you know.

I studied computer science for 2 years. I do not have a college degree. I refurbish PCs.

I am a night person.

I have four siblings.

I love living on a boat. I have parties on my houseboat.  I like to cruise around the harbor and to different ports. I'm planning a party around the 19th.

[Speaker 1] So what marina are you currently staying at?

[Speaker 2] I'm in Marina Del Ray.  Have you been to California before?

[Speaker 1] No I haven't, how is it over there?

[Speaker 2] Right now it's crazy hot. Anyone who thinks climate change is a hoax and come visit Cali for a day and have their minds changed.

[Speaker 1] I doubt they'd be convinced on the sun. How is living on your houseboat?

[Speaker 2] It has it's pro's and con's.  You can't beat the view but when it comes time for any kind of maintenance it's not like your average house.  I wouldn't want to live anywhere else though.lol

[Speaker 1] I'm sure it's lovely. I heard you were having a party around the 19th, what's it for?

[Speaker 2] Nothing special.  I just love having friends over as often as possible and they all love hanging out on the water.  One of our friends is going on vacation and will be gone for their birthday so we'll probably get them a cake and have a mini celebration for that.

[Speaker 1] That sounds lovely! I wish I could go to a party, but studying keeps me so busy, I can't stand it sometimes lol

[Speaker 2] Sometimes a break is better for you than cramming in an extra study session.  Making time for fun is still important.

[Speaker 1] I know I know, but I know if I work hard now I'll be able to relax in the future. You have your bachelor's degree already and your living it up on a boat.

[Speaker 2] Self care is important to keep yourself performing at your best and not being burned out.  You can trust me on that since I have a bachelors degree and am currently living it up on a house boat.lol

I am a night person.

I have never been to California.

I am in school. I am working on my bachelor's degree.

I have a houseboat. I host parties on my houseboat. I like to play music loudly. I have been living in a houseboat for about three years. I wouldn't move back onto land. I like having friends over.

I have four siblings.

I am staying at Marina Del Ray.

I believe in climate change.

I have a bachelor's degree.

[Speaker 1] Are you still having the party on your houseboat on the 19th?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I am. The weather is clearing up and it's going to be nice, sunny day. I love it when the sky is clear. Do you have any plans yourself?

[Speaker 1] Thats awesome the weather will be perfect it sounds like! I will be reading a new book over that weekend and might go for a bicycle ride.

[Speaker 2] That sounds good, simple fun. I love loud music and parties but there's nothing better than relaxing with a good book. Where are do you plan on biking?

[Speaker 1] I will get to enjoy parties once i finish with college, but until then its reading, haha! I plan on biking just around the city, there's some hilly areas that can be challenging. You really dont have to worry about that traveling in the houseboat.

[Speaker 2] No, I don't! I like to sail through the waters and get away from it all sometimes. I like feeling the waves and watching the stars at night. I prefer the scenery of buildings in the city. I'm sure a night person like you would enjoy it, right?

[Speaker 1] For sure, that does sound like a nice escape and i would definitely enjoy it! Are the stars pretty visible out on the water?

[Speaker 2] Yes, they're very clear. There are no lights from the buildings, so all you can see are the moon and the stars. It's great for relaxing like reading a book or having a drink. I like to have a good meal and just enjoy the view sometimes. You should try it if you get the chance one day.

[Speaker 1] That does sound pretty incredible and something i will definitely have to experience one day. Perhaps if i ever make it out to California you could take me out on the boat one night!

[Speaker 2] That will be fun! I enjoy entertaining guests and cooking dinner for them. What kind of food is your favorite? I'd like to know what to make!

[Speaker 1] I really enjoy just about every type of food, but since you're in the bay perhaps we should have seafood if that works for you?

[Speaker 2] The seafood is great around here. I love steaming lobster, crabs, and shrimp. Maybe sushi will be good, too, because I love sushi. How does that sound?

[Speaker 1] No l have no kids. Do you have kids?

[Speaker 2] I have 2 girls, kate and mary. What are your hobbies?

[Speaker 1] I'm working on my dream car and I've got a monster truck.

[Speaker 2] My hobby is painting, I am real good at it..

[Speaker 1] I just put 33 inch tires on my truck and lve got an airboat.

[Speaker 2] I would love to take a nap on an air boat. I like naps.

[Speaker 1] That would be hard to do! I gator hunt also.

[Speaker 2] Watched a horror movie with gators once. My favorite type of movie is horror!

[Speaker 1] Cool! I love to hunt them it's my job. I just got back to doing it though.

[Speaker 2] We should go hunting then. Time for my nap'tho. See ya!

I do not have children.

[Speaker 1] I finished my latest painting, of a poster from my favorite horror movie.

[Speaker 2] what is your favorite movie? i also enjoy painting

[Speaker 1] My favorite movie is Star Wars, it fits into my favorite genre of Sci-Fi and is very entertaining to watch.

[Speaker 2] oh awesome! i am currently working on a harry potter painting. which is my favorite book/movie

[Speaker 1] Wow that is amazing! Would you show it to me when you are done, I would love to see it? Should I check out Harry Potter?

[Speaker 2] of course1 and 1000 times yes! if you havent checked it out i highly recommend it!

[Speaker 1] Thank you for that recommendation. Do you think it was your favorite painting you have ever done, or do you think painting for horror movies is better?

[Speaker 2] my favorite genre is horror. i saw a IT painting recently that was amazing

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I would love to check that out. IT is actually one of my favorite horror movies, although nothing can beat Sci-Fi.

[Speaker 2] have you seen the recent remake?

[Speaker 1] I have, and the original as well. Have you seen both?

[Speaker 2] i have! i really enjoyed the remake it was the best sequel

I do not have children.

I work for the U.S. President.

I have two daughters: Kate and Mary.

I have a hobby of painting.

I enjoy naps.

My favorite book is Harry Potter.

[Speaker 1] I just rewatched both versions of the IT movie and I think the remake is better, but the second movie in the remake is worse than the first.

[Speaker 2] I have to agree with you. I loved the remake but the second movie didn't do anything new.

[Speaker 1] Just like the original IT miniseries years ago, the movie where the kids are the main characters is much scarier! Both are pretty amazing movies, though.

[Speaker 2] The real question is though, how has been working in a real life horror situation of having to hunt alligators? Any close calls?

[Speaker 1] A few, but it's not nearly as dangerous as one would think. They're not exactly the most intelligent animals, so for the most part they're pretty predictable. I think you have the more dangerous job, working with politicians! lol!

[Speaker 2] Haha! You got me there! Luckily my job doesn't require me to rub shoulders with too many politicians. What happens after you hunt the alligators? Do you clean them yourself?

[Speaker 1] It depends. Sometimes, I'm just hired to catch them if they end up where they're not supposed to be. In those cases, I just relocate them. The rules are very specific about which alligators can be hunted and which can't. Although, I must admit that grilled alligator with just the right spices is absolutely delicious!

[Speaker 2] Oh what! I didn't know you could eat alligator meat! What do they taste like?

[Speaker 1] It's a weird mix between fish, chicken and pork. It's a very unique taste, but it's got a very vibrant, rich flavor. You must try it sometime!

[Speaker 2] I'd love to try some! Next time you're cooking some up at your place, let me know! I'll be there in a flash.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! There are some restaurants, especially in Louisiana, that serve it, but they don't always do it justice. I'm not a great cook, but I can grill with the best of them.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like fun. When's the next time you're planning to grill? I can bring some sides.

I do not have children.

I like to paint and enjoy horror movies. My favorite movie is Star Wars and my favorite genre is Sci-Fi. I have seen both versions of IT. I like part 1 of IT movie remake better than the original. I think part 2 of the remake is not that good. I think the IT movies are amazing.

I work for the U.S. President.

I have two daughters: Kate and Mary.

I have a hobby of painting.

I enjoy naps.

My favorite movie genre is horror. I have seen both versions of IT. I loved part 1 of the IT remake. I didn't much like part 2.

My favorite book is Harry Potter.

I don't work with politicians much.

I know how to prepare sides.

[Speaker 1] I grilled some alligator yesterday. Sorry I didn't tell you so that you could bring sides, it was kind of last minute.

[Speaker 2] Oh bummer. I had some really excellent corn from my brother's farm that I could've brought over! How was it? Did it come out well?

[Speaker 1] The corn came out well! I put it on the grill next to the seasoned grilled alligator.

[Speaker 2] Well I guess I'm glad you had some! Let me know when you grill up another gator. I'm interested in how you manage the seasoning.

[Speaker 1] I was thinking of grilling another one up next weekend. Are you available to come over in the afternoon?

[Speaker 2] Sure, sounds good to me. What time? Like 3 ish or is that too late? Do you want me to bring something?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I think that 3 should be good. Do you want to bring a side?

[Speaker 2] Sure. What goes best with gator? I could do a Tex Mex salad if that works. Or I could go with some garlic green beans? What do you think?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that would great! Grilled beans would be great!

[Speaker 2] Okay, I can do that. I have a great recipe from my great grandma. It's been a family favorite for a long time.

[Speaker 1] That would be wonderful! I can't wait to try the recipe!

[Speaker 2] Awesome, I'm looking forward to it. Let me know if I can bring anything else.

I do not have children.

I like seasoned grilled alligator. I can grill well. I am planning on grilling an alligator next weekend. I like grilled beans.

I work for the U.S. President.

I have two daughters: Kate and Mary.

I have a hobby of painting.

I enjoy naps.

My favorite book is Harry Potter.

I don't work with politicians much.

I know how to prepare sides.

I have a brother with a farm. I like corn.

I want to try grilled alligator. I don't know how to season alligator. I don't know what foods pair well with alligator. I want to bring a side over.

I can cook. I have a close family. My great grandma passed me down a recipe.

[Speaker 1] Do you want to come over early next weekend to see how I prepare the alligator?

[Speaker 2] That would be fantastic, yes! Any idea what side you would like me to bring?

[Speaker 1] Mac & cheese, colesaw anything would be great honestly.

[Speaker 2] Oookay. I will figure something out. Do you use butter or some soft of cooking spray with the alligator?

[Speaker 1] I brush some butter on it, It brings out the jucieiness of it more. Are down to watch IT or something else?

[Speaker 2] ooo butter makes everything better! Sure! You wanna start with the original and see how far we get?

[Speaker 1] Sure! And garlic butter makes it even better, but we can try out both to see which you prefer.

[Speaker 2] Hahaha you really cannot go wrong with garlic and butter. How early should I get there? My schedule is flexible but I have to let some people know my whereabouts at all times these days for work.

[Speaker 1] Any time in the after 4 is fine with me. It takes time to prepare but dinner should be ready by 6-ish.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good. That actually works out perfectly with my nap schedule.

[Speaker 1] Ahaha perfect, I've got the snacks covered and went out to grab the charcoal today. What do you think about bring some veggies from your farm? I'd love to try them

[Speaker 2] Sure! I can bring some corn to throw on the grill as well. Easy peasy AND delicious.


I love pets and have 2 dogs.

I work at the mall near my home.

I have a house that is not yet finished.

I am looking for a furniture shop to buy furniture.

I love grilling steak and hotdogs.

I love taking walks on the beach.

In my free time, I go on mountain hikes.

I can speak english and spanish fluently.

I'm currently in high school.

I am moving to a new house next week.

I work at the mall. I work at a pet store. I love pets. I have 2 dogs.

I moved into a new house.

I need a new couch. I prefer thrift stores with furniture over Ikea.

I love grilling steak or hotdogs.

I am tired from a long mountain hike.

I shopped at a goodwill for my high school play.

[Speaker 1] Hey there, what are you up to? I'm going to work at the mall.

[Speaker 2] I just finished a long mountain hike! Boy am I tired! What type of store do you work at?

[Speaker 1] A pet store, I love pets. I have 2 dogs..

[Speaker 2] I love dogs! I hope to get one when I move.

[Speaker 1] I just moved into a new house, but it's not finished yet.

[Speaker 2] I'm moving next week. I'm going to paint my room yellow I think.

[Speaker 1] Hey do you know a good furniture shop? I need a new couch.

[Speaker 2] Ikea is cheap. I'm not sure how comfortable though.

[Speaker 1] Oh I was looking for more of a thrift store with furniture, but thanks.

[Speaker 2] For my high school play we went to goodwill. Try there!

[Speaker 1] Hey are you free? I got a new grill and I love grilling. Steak or hotdogs?

[Speaker 2] Neither. I prefer salad, especially with cucumbers!

I moved into a new house.

I love grilling steak or hotdogs.

I am tired from a long mountain hike.

[Speaker 1] How did your move go? Did all go well?

[Speaker 2] it hasn't happened yet! we're still packing and getting ready but i'm already exhausted. how long did it take you to recover from your move?

[Speaker 1] It took about 3 weeks to fully recover from all of the packing and unpacking. It's not fun at all!

[Speaker 2] yes and because it's like, your HOME, there's just no peaceful place to recover from the chaos! what had prompted your most recent move?

[Speaker 1] Exactly! And I was ready for a bigger house, I needed more space. I bet you're going to need even more time recovering since you had a long mountain hike!

[Speaker 2] I totally hear you on space. nobody likes to be cramped. and yeah, i'm definitely sore from the hike but it was good to clear my head before the big move! what do you do to relax or unwind when you're in a stressful situation?

[Speaker 1] I love to just take a stroll around the mall on my lunch break. The mall is usually empty so it's kind of peaceful. Other than yellow do you have anything else in mind for colors?

[Speaker 2] that sounds really nice. fresh air! and yes, I want to paint the living room a really vibrant purple. my couch is orange and I think it would look cool!

[Speaker 1] Yes that would look really good together! I can't wait to get a new couch, the dogs have messed up the couch I have now.

[Speaker 2] aw man thats such a bummer. what color couch would you get do you think?

[Speaker 1] I think I want a dark grey couch, something where stains from the dogs doesn't show so easily. I love them, but they are messy!

[Speaker 2] big dogs often are! dark colors hide stains better so thats smart. I have cats so I had to get a special fabric couch so their claws couldnt ruin it.

I moved into a new house. I took 3 weeks to recover from my last move. I moved because I needed for space.

I love grilling steak or hotdogs.

I like to walk around the mall on my lunch break to destress.

I have 2 dogs. My dogs tore up my couch. I want to get a new couch,.I want a dark gray couch so stains from my dogs won't show.

I am tired from a long mountain hike.

I love dogs. I will be moving eventually next week. My room will be painted yellow. I am packing for a move. I have an orange couch. I want to paint my living room a vibrant purple.

[Speaker 1] I am going to send you a list of my best moving tips that will save you time and trouble.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that would be excellent! Thank you. I am not excited to move next week as it is so much work.

[Speaker 1] I can understand that. My last move took 3 weeks for me to feel "normal" again.

[Speaker 2] Did you rent a truck for moving or did you just have family help you?

[Speaker 1] I rented a truck for all my stuff and family helped unload. Unfortunately my couch was ruined in the move so I'm on the hunt for a new one.

[Speaker 2] Well, I know there are a few thrift stores in the area. Have you check them for a couch yet?

[Speaker 1] Not yet, I plan to this weekend though. I'm looking for a plain old gray couch. Thrift stores are so much fun to hunt through for them.

[Speaker 2] Well, if I am in the area, I will take a look and see if I can find a grayish color couch. Would that be okay with you?

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome, thank you for offering! Are you at least excited to move and start painting your place?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I think once the initial part of moving is out of the way, I will be excited. The hot weather doesn't help how I am feeling about the move.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it's so hot and sticky. I've mostly just been eating salad lately instead of hotdogs.

[Speaker 2] Salad is certainly the better option, especially in the summer. However, a good hot dog on the grill in the summer is the best!

I have 2 dogs. My dogs tore up my couch. I want to get a new couch. I want a dark gray couch so stains from my dogs won't show.

I rented a truck when I moved last time. I have family who live nearby.

I am tired from a long mountain hike.

I like to shop at thrift stores.

I don't like hot weather.  I am excited to move to my new house.

[Speaker 1] I found a new couch.  It is the perfect color of gray.  I'm glad the weather is cooler, now I can enjoy hotdogs instead of salad for dinner!

[Speaker 2] That is great! Are you picking up the couch or are you having it delivered?

[Speaker 1] I am having it delivered. Have you moved yet?

[Speaker 2] I have not moved yet, but I am in the process of looking for a new place to live!

[Speaker 1] I hope you find a new place were the weather is nice and cool. Do you have an area in mind ?

[Speaker 2] I want to live in the country side where it is quiet!

[Speaker 1] That sounds nice and would be great for grilling some hot dogs. Why did you choose orange for you couch?

[Speaker 2] I like to be unique, so I thought an orange couch would be unique! I love the burnt orange color!

[Speaker 1] Nothing  wrong with being unique. I forgot that you don't like hot dogs or steak. What do you grill when you have a bbq?

[Speaker 2] I usually grill vegetables and shrimp! Shrimp on the grill is the best!

[Speaker 1] I also love shrimp. I guess that is another reason we both enjoy thrift stores; to save all our money for shrimp!

[Speaker 2] Maybe we can get together over the weekend and make some shrimp on the grill!

I love grilling steak or hotdogs.  I eat salad on hot days. I love shrimp. I enjoy thrift stores.

I bought a new grey couch. I enjoy cooler weather. I am having my couch delivered.

I am tired from a long mountain hike.

I do not like steak or hotdogs. I like to eat salad with cucumbers. I like to grill hotdogs. I like to eat vegetables at barbecues. I like to eat shrimp at barbecues.

I have cats. My couch is a special fabric so my cat's claws ruin it. I own a burnt orange couch. I like to be unique.

I like to shop at thrift stores.

I am looking for a new home. I want to live in the countryside. I want to live somewhere quiet.

[Speaker 1] How come you're moving out?

[Speaker 2] It will be away from all the noise. I need an escape, ya know?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I understand that. It brings a lot of peach to mind. I'm thinking of having a barbeque as a house warming would you like to come over or will you be swamped with packing?

[Speaker 2] That would be fantastic. Gotta eat, right? What can I bring?

[Speaker 1] Anything would be great, I've got the meats covered and I believe another friends bringing over salad. I can help you pack to help you catch-up, if you'd like.

[Speaker 2] Great! Maybe I will just bring chips or something. No need to add more stress! I will never turn down a helping hand with moving.

[Speaker 1] Ehh that's great, I forgot about snacks. Great, let me know whenever ya need me. Are you moving out alone?

[Speaker 2] The cats are definitely joining me. I think they will love the chance to roam outside!

[Speaker 1] Oh that's great! how mny cats do you have? Is the new place very far from your current place?

[Speaker 2] Three now. One passed away recently but she was old and had a good life. The new place is only a 20 minute drive away but if feels like a whole different world.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. Yeah, I feel that, it's like a whole new world opened up that you didn't realize existed. Are there grocery store and other amenities nearby?

[Speaker 2] Oh, I knew it existed. I just needed to find the right place. There is a little mini mart about 2 miles away. It will at least have a variety of things.


I love taking walks on the beach.

In my free time, I go on mountain hikes.

I like to watch cars race. I am not outside often.

I am older than a high schooler.

[Speaker 1] Hi! I love walking on the beach.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. I really enjoy art and will one day be a painter.

[Speaker 1] Sounds fun! I really like nature so I go hiking a lot.

[Speaker 2] Ohhh fun! The only time im outside is at the races! Love cars that fast.

[Speaker 1] I don't really know about those. I'm in high school what about you?

[Speaker 2] I am a little older, not in school but try to help others achieve things.

[Speaker 1] Oh I understand that! I speak two languages, english and spanish!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! Thats awesome for you!

[Speaker 1] Thank you! I'm moving closer to a subdivision next week so yay me!

[Speaker 2] Aww! Yay, that'll be fun and I'm sure you will love it.

[Speaker 1] Yes! It was so nice chatting.

[Speaker 2] Definitely! I hope you have a great night.

I speak English and Spanish.

I am moving next week.

I enjoy art. I want to be a painter.

I am older than a high schooler.

[Speaker 1] Guess what I found while packing more moving boxes?

[Speaker 2] Hey, what did you find?

[Speaker 1] I found several original paintings, one of a meadow and the other of a waterfall. They are beautiful but unsigned.

[Speaker 2] Are hey oil paintings? Too bad they are unsigned. They could be worth a lot of money

[Speaker 1] Yes they are oil. I'm sure it's something my parents got at one time but they don't seem to know anything about them. Might have been passed down from family. You can come take a look at if you want.

[Speaker 2] I would love to look at them. Even though they may not be worth a lot, they may be great to hang up.

[Speaker 1] Sure. Hey my aunt wants to go to the race track next week to watch those cars that race on dirt. I don't know much about it but might be fun.

[Speaker 2] They are fun to watch. I used to go every week with my dad with I was younger.

[Speaker 1] You can come with us if you want. I think the weather is supposed kind of hot though.

[Speaker 2] I think I will pass on the offer. I burn very easy so I stay mostly inside but thanks for the invite.

[Speaker 1] No problem. If you're planning to stay inside I know that Netflix has several documentaries on art that you might like to watch.

[Speaker 2] I have been taking an online art course. So a documentary would go perfect with my art course.

I speak English and Spanish.

I am moving next week.

I am packing to move. I found 2 oil paintings. My parents don't know anything about the paintings.

I have an aunt. My aunt wants to go to the off track car races.

I enjoy art. I want to be a painter. I am taking an on line art course.

I am older than a high schooler.

I went to off road races with my dad when I was young.

[Speaker 1] I could pick you up this evening to come over and see the paintings if you would like.

[Speaker 2] That would be great! I would love that.

[Speaker 1] I noticed that some of the paint on the corner of one of the paintings chipped away, and it looks like there was something else painted underneath it. Weird, huh?  Do you think you'd be ready by around 7?

[Speaker 2] That does sound strange. I wonder what it was. Yes, I could be ready by then. You know if you and your aunt really want to go to the off track car races we could all go together next weekend.

[Speaker 1] Sure!  Just don't forget the sunscreen!  I think it's supposed to be partly cloudy though, so maybe it won't be too bad.

[Speaker 2] Great! Lol I will definitely remember the sunscreen. I certainly don't want a repeat of last year....I forgot the sunscreen and came back blistered!!

[Speaker 1] I just hope that it doesn't get too loud.  When I'm around loud noises sometimes my teeth start to ache.

[Speaker 2] Oh well that is no good. I have ear muffs that you can borrow if you think that would help.

[Speaker 1] Thanks!  It might help. I don't know what causes it. I asked my dentist and he told me to ask my doctor.  I asked my doctor and he told me to ask my dentist.

[Speaker 2] Of course! I'm gonna go get dressed. I'll see you at 7!

[Speaker 1] Great!  Meanwhile, I'd better get some more packing done.

[Speaker 2] Yes, before you know it it'll be moving day!

I speak English and Spanish.

I am moving next week.

I can drive.

I don't like loud noises.

I am older than a high schooler.

I sunburn easily. I mostly stay inside because I sunburn easily. I got sunburnt last year.

I own some ear muffs.

[Speaker 1] I found an old pair of ear muffs so I won't need to borrow yours

[Speaker 2] Oh that's great. I still think you should go to the dentist though. Have you always had this problem?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, since I was a kid! Do you like the dentist?

[Speaker 2] Wow, I've never heard of that before, but that sucks. And no, I hate the dentist. When I was a kid I grew two rows of teeth so I had to spend ages at the dentist dealing with that and it scarred me. How about you?

[Speaker 1] Ah I'm sorry and no lol I don't because of the loud noises haha! That's crazy that you grew two rows of teeth was it painful?

[Speaker 2] Oh of course, I should have thought about that haha! Yeah so strange I know, everyone on my dad's side has the same issue. But yeah it was very painful, although I think I mostly hated having to stay still for that long.  Did you ever have any medical issues as a child?

[Speaker 1] I'm so sorry that must have been hard! I was very fortunate to not have any major health issues so far!

[Speaker 2] Oh that's lucky, but I don't envy you the loud noise thing. Are you moving somewhere quiet, or is it more about really close by noises?

[Speaker 1] It is closer noises! I'm ok with general noises so I am moving to the city!

[Speaker 2] Oh that's good! Life would be pretty hard otherwise. Have you spent much time in your new neighbourhood before?

[Speaker 1] I've visited a few times! It has lots of restaurants and nightlife close by which I think I will enjoy!

[Speaker 2] Oh that's very exciting! How is the packing going btw?

I speak English and Spanish.

I am moving next week. I am moving to the city. I've visited my future residency.

I can drive.

I don't like loud noises.

I own earmuffs. I dislike loud noises.

I've had dental problems since childhood.

I've had no major medical issues.

I am older than a high schooler.

I own some ear muffs.

I hate the dentist. I grew two rows of teeth as a kid. I spent a lot of time at the dentist. I am scared of the dentist. My dad's family has dental issues. I don't like long wait times.

[Speaker 1] So the packing went well and I secured my dentist appointment! No long waits and hopefully no loud noises.

[Speaker 2] That's great, make sure to take them earmuffs just incase. I avoid the dentist if I could, they always have the worst line ups.

[Speaker 1] I am not thrilled about going. Hoping I have taken good enough care of them to avoid any more surgeries at the moment. I know you know what it's like!

[Speaker 2] Oh man, I feel that. I can't sleep unless I make sure my teeth is clean no matter how tried I am. I'd wake up in the middle of my sleep if I have to, in order to go brush my teeth. When are you moving out?

[Speaker 1] Eek! That sounds exhausting! Next week some time. I am thinking I would like to be completely moved by end of day wednesday.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's so exciting, will you still have the same dentist or will you find one closer to your home?

[Speaker 1] Same dentist. I don't trust anyone else at this point. My current dentist is already well aware of my earmuff situation.

[Speaker 2] Ohh that's nice. Isn't it going to be hard to manage the noise pollution in the city? Won't you get a lot of headaches?

[Speaker 1] I likely will. I have been wondering if maybe I should try some anxiety meds. Have you tried something like that?

[Speaker 2] No I haven't but migraine pills may help temporarily? Make sure to ask your doc before you head out.

[Speaker 1] Another appointment to make! It certainly is always something, isn't it. Why isn't life ever just calm?

[Speaker 2] I know right, but at the same time that's the joy in it.


I am a inventor.

I invented a personal teleportation device.

I am able to teleport myself instantly anywhere in the world.

I'm working on a time machine.

I love puppies.

I'm a painter.
I like making music.
I don't want a boss.
I try to love everyone.
I live within my means.

I like animals. I know how to paint. I paint animals. I am an artist. I write music.

I don't care much about money.

I would like to time travel.

[Speaker 1] Hello, do you like animals?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I do! I paint a lot of animal pictures.

[Speaker 1] That's good, I may like to invest in some of your painting someday..

[Speaker 2] That would be nice! I am an artist, love both painting and music.

[Speaker 1] Okay. I just finished working on a project that could teleport.

[Speaker 2] No way!! So cool! I rather live a simple life with my arts and just get by.

[Speaker 1] I bet if you get on this one, you could see the world faster.

[Speaker 2] I'd love to! So I can meet all kinds of people! I am a people lover.

[Speaker 1] Of course yes and maybe you can try my time machine too.

[Speaker 2] That would be wild! Thank you for the offer!

[Speaker 1] You can probably visit some people in the future.

[Speaker 2] Maybe future me? Is that possible?

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah or some future art too.

[Speaker 2] Wouldn't that be nice. I'd write a music about that.

I don't care much about money.

I would like to time travel.

[Speaker 1] Guess where I teleported to?

[Speaker 2] Where you did end up teleporting to?

[Speaker 1] I teleported to the grocery store and bought some bread. It kinda smells off now though.

[Speaker 2] How did you learn to teleport?

[Speaker 1] I read mystic stones and one of my familiars came through the ether and showed me how its done.

[Speaker 2] Wow! Do you think you can teach me?

[Speaker 1] I would have to apprentice you in the craft first and then attain Ga'el's permission to introduce you to the familiar Jer'reauxome.

[Speaker 2] It would mean the world to me if you went ahead and did that!

[Speaker 1] I think Jer'reauxome (Jerome) would approve of you and allow you to follow the path of enlightenment to attain the master of attaing food stuffs with great haste.

[Speaker 2] Jerome sounds like an interesting character!

[Speaker 1] Jer'reauxome shares the sentiment with the mortal world and would welcome any person or being tat would want to expand their knowledge of the ether realm. He gets very bored and would like to share his wisdom of his travels.

[Speaker 2] The wisdom of his travels? I'm listening.

I invented a teleportation machine. I invented a time machine. I can teleport.

I can do magic.

I like to follow procedure.

I know Jerome well.

I don't care much about money.

I would like to time travel. I want to learn how to teleport. I want to learn how to do magic.

[Speaker 1] I spoke to Jerome about you becoming an apprentice and they think it's a grand idea. When can you start training? It is very intense at first, be warned.

[Speaker 2] Anytime that he wants. I will put my whole life on hold to learn about this. It's a big dream of mine!

[Speaker 1] You will need to be completely devoted.  He can meet you this weekend at the cave in the hills above his home.

[Speaker 2] I'll be there, without question. Do you have any idea what he'll teach me first?

[Speaker 1] For sure, he always starts with teaching a new pupil how to levitate.

[Speaker 2] Amazing! Simply amazing! I'm so lucky to have been accepted by him to be an apprentice. Is there anything special that I should bring?

[Speaker 1] Yes, please bring a chicken parmagiana sandwich for Jerome.

[Speaker 2] Will do. I know an amazing Italian restaurant around here that serves a Chicken Parm sandwich to die for! Are you all done with your training with Jerome?

[Speaker 1] For now yes.  I need to go on my journey first before I begin my second phase.

[Speaker 2] Kind of like a spiritual journey? Like what some Indian tribes require of their young braves?

[Speaker 1] Yes, very similar.  When I return Jerome will begin teaching me psychokinesis.

[Speaker 2] I've heard of telekinesis, but I've never heard of psychokinesis. What is that? It's ok if you can't tell me since I've not yet started training with Jerome. I'm just curious.

I can do magic.

I like to follow procedure.

I know Jerome well. I know a man named Jerome who is looking for an apprentice. I found training very intense. I have completed the first phase of my training.

I learned how to levitate.

I want to learn psychokinesis.

I don't care much about money.

I am very intrigued by Jerome. I want to learn more about Jerome. I have time to be an apprentice.

I am a good student.

I want to learn to levitate. I want to be Jerome's apprentice. I am curious about what training with Jerome entails.

I like Italian food.

[Speaker 1] I have been practicing levitating and it is truly an amazing experience.  I can't wait until you learn how to do it too.

[Speaker 2] I know! We talked about it last time and I really want to learn!

[Speaker 1] It's truly amazing. Life-altering. I'll see if I can get you hooked up with Jerome.

[Speaker 2] Did you tell Jerome that I have some free time right now? And that i would be a good student?

[Speaker 1] I did, but his schedule is so tight. He's slowly going through candidates for his apprenticeship. He says he just gets a sense about people when he meets them. I'll see if he can meet with you soon. What day would work best?

[Speaker 2] I appreciate you doing that. Pretty much any weekday in the afternoon would work great for me.

[Speaker 1] Cool, no problem. I'll let you know. On another subject, I'm hungry. What's your plan for food later on?

[Speaker 2] You know me, I was probably going to get some Italian. Do you want to go to The Italian Place?

[Speaker 1] Yes! If only I could figure out how to teleport there effectively I'd go right now. I'm starving. I want some good ravioli. Or gnocchi.

[Speaker 2] Isn't your teleportation machine in operation? I thought you might be able to just buzz over.

[Speaker 1] I'm still trying to iron out some kinks. A few days ago I tried to go to my mom's house and I wound up in the middle of Central Park. Not perfect yet.

[Speaker 2] Hey but Juliana's is a great Italian food restaurant there in NYC!

I can do magic.

I like to follow procedure.

I learned how to levitate.

I want to learn psychokinesis.

My mom does not live in Central Park.

I don't care much about money.

I am a good student.

I like Italian food.

[Speaker 1] Did Jerome reach out to you?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, he did I'm going to meet up with him tomorrow and discuss the apprenticeship. Thanks for reaching out to him for me!

[Speaker 1] Of course. Ugh. I hate to say this, but a lot has come out about Jerome over the last couple of days. Have you seen any of the Magician's World tabloids?

[Speaker 2] No, what happened? Is it something serious?

[Speaker 1] Ummm, yeah. It is coming to light that he may be involved in a handful of homicides in a small town in Ohio. I don't know what is true and what is not. They haven't made an arrest. Shocking and a little scary he is planning to meet with you during all of this.

[Speaker 2] WHAT? We made plans two days ago and I haven't heard from him since. I should probably reschedule and wait to see if he's involved. There's no way I'm going now.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, definitely do not go. It is all linked to his work in magic. Apparently he has had many assistance die on his watch. And his parents and a girlfriend.

[Speaker 2] Oh god, that's terrifying. Forget the rescheduling I need to block his number. I'm so glad I never told him my address. How are you holding up, you actually trained with the guy?

[Speaker 1] Assistants*. I am ok. A little intrigued to be honest, but then I think about the time he let me pass out when doing an underwater trick and wonder if I should have been one of his victims.

[Speaker 2] Whhhhaat? That's horrifying, does he know where you live? If he hasn't been arrested who knows what he might do. Intrigued? I dont know if I should be worried or horrified.

[Speaker 1] I have not come forward with that info yet. I am afraid to until he is behind bars, but I feel wrong holding it in. What would you do?

[Speaker 2] I would probably let someone know, but I definitely wouldn't go back home until he's arrested.


I love pets and have 2 dogs.

I work at the mall near my home.

I have a house that is not yet finished.

I am looking for a furniture shop to buy furniture.

I love grilling steak and hotdogs.

I am a vegan.

I love animals.

I used to be a veterinarian, but I quit to travel abroad.

I sing for a living.

I like to blog.

I work at a mall.
I am open minded.

I have a blog.

I am vegan.

I like to travel.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm great. Just finishing a blog post. How are you?

[Speaker 1] I'm doing fine. What do you blog about?

[Speaker 2] Veganism and animals. I call eat, stop eating my cuties.

[Speaker 1] Sounds interesting. Is that your full time job?

[Speaker 2] No, I used to be a veterinarian, now I sing for money.

[Speaker 1] That's a huge profession change. Did you not like being a veterinarian?

[Speaker 2] I quit to travel. Still, I find singing rewarding. What do you do?

[Speaker 1] I'm not as interesting as you. I work at a nearby mall.

[Speaker 2] Perhaps I could sing my new song there. Do you think they will let me?

[Speaker 1] Maybe! Around holidays and special events the mall invites musical guests to perform!

[Speaker 2] I call it,'sorry they murdered you, lambchop.'it involves a lot of sock puppetry.

[Speaker 1] I have never hear anything as strange as that. I'm interested!

[Speaker 2] I will see you opening day!

I work at a mall.
I am open minded.

I have a blog.

I am vegan.

I like to travel.

[Speaker 1] There is an event coming up in a few weeks at the mall. You should submit a performance pitch!

[Speaker 2] maybe I will! it would be great to make my blog a full time gig. do you like working at the mall?

[Speaker 1] It's alright. It's not particularly high-paying, though. Maybe I should move onto something else, like a tipped role at a restaurant.

[Speaker 2] that would be great. you'd meet so many interesting people working in restaurants! do you like to engage with new people?

[Speaker 1] I do! I like talking with folks and learning about their lives. I find it to be energizing.

[Speaker 2] then I bet the food industry would be great for you. so many people to meet. my guess is retail doesn't really let you talk to folks much because they're there to shop and get in and get out.

[Speaker 1] For sure. The only problem though is that a tipped job comes with the risk of lower wages. Minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13 an hour, not $7.25.

[Speaker 2] yeah and that means its hard to have a reliable income. sigh. everybody deserves a living wage! I dont know how restaurants get away with under paying.

[Speaker 1] I don't know how they do either! It's so ingrained into the culture of the restaurant/service industry that everyone just sees it as an acceptable practice.

[Speaker 2] craziness. and at the same time I hate people who refuse to tip on principle because it's like.. you're only hurting the server. why would you not tip? even if you don't agree with tipping? you know?

[Speaker 1] Yep. You can be against tipping, but you should still acknowledge that tipping is the norm in the status quo (and necessary if you want your server to make a living wage.)

[Speaker 2] absolutely. I don't know why as a society we don't value caring for one another more in that way you know? in my dream world none of us have to work for a wage; we can all just contribute what we are good at or willing to do and then have enough to eat and a safe place to live.

I work at a mall. I don't make much money working at the mall. I think I would make more working at a job with tips. I am afraid I may make even less if I worked for tips. The minimum wage is even lower.

I am open minded. I like talking to people. It is energizing.

I think it is bad that everyone sees underpaying is acceptable. I think that even people who disagree with tipping should do it anyway to help their server.

I have a blog.

I am vegan.

I like to travel.

I believe everyone deserves a living wage. I hate people who refuse to tip. In my dream world, everyone could contribute and everyone would have enough to eat and a safe place to live.

[Speaker 1] What have you been blogging about lately?

[Speaker 2] Mainly vegan recipes and ingredients. Are you vegan?

[Speaker 1] No, I am not. how long have you been a vegan for?

[Speaker 2] I have been a vegetarian for 12 years, but a vegan for about 7.

[Speaker 1] Did you find it tough to transition to being a vegan?

[Speaker 2] At first becoming vegetarian was harder since I had always eaten meat and cheese. Becoming vegan kind of just happened naturally.

[Speaker 1] That's good. I have thought about becoming a vegetarian but I think I might have a hard time giving up meat.

[Speaker 2] You could always just try some vegetarian recipes without fully committing!

[Speaker 1] Very true, do you post any vegetarian recipes on your blog? If so, I should check it out!

[Speaker 2] I mainly have vegan recipes, but you can find lots of really good vegetarian recipes online.

[Speaker 1] Okay, I will look into it and try making a couple a week to start. Have you made the transition to a full time blogger yet?

[Speaker 2] No, I'm still singing to pay the bills. I'll be singing at a club downtown tonight. What are you doing tonight?

I am not vegan. I have considered becoming a vegetarian. I like meat.

I have a blog.

I like to travel.

I know how to cook vegan food.I have been vegan for 7 years.  I have been vegetarian for 12 years.

[Speaker 1] My mom told me about a new restaurant downtown that has a fully vegetarian menu, I'm going to try it out.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds amazing! Do you know anyone who has been there before? I"d love to join you if you're nervous about going alone.

[Speaker 1] My friend who is really into raw food told me about it! And I would love for you to come with me. I need help knowing what sort of vego foods are nicest! Do you ever do restaurant reviews for your blog?

[Speaker 2] I could definitely help you pick out some vegetarian foods or vegan as well. I haven't done any restaurant reviews yet, but I have been approached to do some. Once I go full time I might just venture into that.

[Speaker 1] Great, I'm looking forward to it then. But oh that's cool, do you get free food when they ask for that?

[Speaker 2] I would think I'd have to pay for the food or maybe I get a discount. Otherwise who would take my review seriously if I was given free food in exchange for the review? I'm not really sure to be honest, but it would be fun!

[Speaker 1] True, I'm glad that's the case. I guess I always just suspect when I see reviews online that's what's happening. Or maybe it's just influencers haha. What's the main thing you need in order to go full time with your blog?

[Speaker 2] I think honestly it's just dedication and to get over the fear of doing it. Kind of like you are facing now thinking about a different job. It's just the fear of doing something new.

[Speaker 1] I totally understand! And I'm not one to talk since I'm still putting that off haha, but I checked out your blog and you do such a good job, I think you definitely have what it takes!

[Speaker 2] Oh gosh thank you so much! It really helps to know other people's points of view so that I can be more confident in myself!

[Speaker 1] Well I honestly think you're great at it! I wish I had something I was interested enough in to blog about. Is it very competitive in the vegan blog world?

[Speaker 2] Surprisingly there are a lot of food bloggers out there and with the up and coming trends there are a bunch of high paid high traffic vegan blogs. I definitely have my work cut out for me. But enough about me! What are your plans for the near future?

I think some reviews are staged/fake.

I am thinking of starting a new job. I think Blogging sounds fun and exciting.

I have a blog. I am a singer. I used to be a veterinarian. I am not a full-time blogger. I want to make my blog a full time gig.

I like to travel.

I have a side job doing restaurant reviews.

I am an honest person. I am outgoing and ready to start a new career.

I am in an competitive field of work.

[Speaker 1] I decided to start my own blog site!

[Speaker 2] That's exciting! I love blogging. What do you want to blog about?

[Speaker 1] I think that I would want to blog about different people that I talk to at the mall. It could be interesting since I meet so many unique people!

[Speaker 2] That's a really different idea. I think it could work. I find people fascinating. Did you decide on a name yet?

[Speaker 1] Oh man. Maybe something funny like Mall Rats? Or maybe something like People of the Mall? What is your blog called?

[Speaker 2] Cute! I love it. Mine's called Greaner Good. It's a Vegan lifestyle blog. I review restaurants, talk recipes, and just general Vegan friendly articles.

[Speaker 1] That's such a clever name! I've thought about being vegetarian. Does your blog have any good tips?

[Speaker 2] It has tons. I started it when I decided to go Vegan, so there's a lot of good tips about starting out with a new diet/lifestyle. Why are you thinking to go vegetarian, if you don't mind me asking?

[Speaker 1] I would like to do something to help with climate change and I know that eating less meat can really help. Why did you decide to go vegan?

[Speaker 2] It was just the logical next step. I tried to avoid animal products as a vegetarian, so switching over to completely vegan made sense. It's all around better for our Earth and environment.

[Speaker 1] It definitely seems like it has gotten much easier over the years as more companies and restaurants have started to offer more vegetarian and vegan options. Do you talk about that in your restaurant review blog?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely. I love that almost every restaurant has vegan options available! And there's tons of just straight vegan restaurants too. It's easier than ever to make the change.


I have twelve brothers and sisters.
I live on the beach with my parents.
I want to buy my own house.
I love having horses and riding them.
I will move to the country soon.

I am relatively tall.
I like mexican food.
I drive a subaru legacy.
My dog's name is drunky.
I can touch my toes with my nose.

I want to move to Colorado.

I live with my parents near the beach.

I ride horses. I have 7 horses. I love horses. I have 12 sibblings.

I like Mexican food.

I have a dog named drunky.

I own a subaru.

I can touch my nose with my toes. I am tall.

[Speaker 1] Looking to move soon, any tips?

[Speaker 2] Colorado is nice! Why are you moving?

[Speaker 1] From the beach with my parents to the country. Buying my own place!

[Speaker 2] Well, I have to live close to a mexican restaurant!

[Speaker 1] Smart! Want some land to ride my horses.

[Speaker 2] How many do you have? I just have a dog named drunky.

[Speaker 1] Seven horses. We had a bunch growing up. I have 12 siblings!

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's a lot! I think I'll just stick to riding in my subaru!

[Speaker 1] I bet drunky likes riding in the subaru!

[Speaker 2] Yep! Do you have any talents? I can touch my nose with my toes!

[Speaker 1] Cool and kinda weird! Love riding horses!

[Speaker 2] You would have to picture how tall I am to fully appreciate it!

[Speaker 1] Oh, i’m very impressed for sure!

[Speaker 2] Thanks! So, anything else you can tell me about yourself?

I want to move to Colorado.

I live with my parents near the beach.

I like Mexican food.

I have a dog named drunky.

I own a subaru.

[Speaker 1] I found a new house in a small rural Colorado town. I hope I get my offer accepted.

[Speaker 2] Wow, congrats! I assume it has lots of room for riding?

[Speaker 1] Yes! It has about 2 acres for riding I'm excited! How is your dog doing today?

[Speaker 2] Pretty good, thanks for asking! We had a car ride a little while ago, so Drunky's super happy. Like a little kid!

[Speaker 1] How did he get his name? It's so unique!

[Speaker 2] Oh, haha, actually it's because he didn't walk so well as a puppy and looked like he was a little drunk all the time. He's still pretty floppy and clumsy, but he's just the sweetest thing. Love everybody. Not a very good guard dog, though :)

[Speaker 1] Sounds so sweet! I have a horse I can't ride because he's so clumsy!

[Speaker 2] I didn't know horses could be clumsy! Is that because it hasn't been trained yet? Do you have to teach them how to walk carefully?

[Speaker 1] Yes and yes. He's still a little young, but learning slower than my other horses. I'll hook him up to my other horses to teach him to walk carefully. They all learn from each other.

[Speaker 2] That's so interesting! Will it be hard to transport the horses to your new place? Sounds like it could be expensive.

[Speaker 1] Yes it will be expensive, but I made sure to save a lot of money for it. I don't want them to be frightened!

[Speaker 2] Good idea. Moving is expensive no matter what, but with horses I'm sure it's super complicated. I'm not moving anytime soon, but at least Drunky can fit in the car with me if we do!

I live with my parents near the beach.

I ride horses. I have 7 horses. I love horses. my horse is clumsy. I have 12 sibblings.

I want to move to Colorado. I am buying a house.

I am fairly wealthy.

I like Mexican food.

I have a dog named drunky.

I own a subaru.

I have little knowledge about horses.

I am not moving.

[Speaker 1] I have had my offer accepted on the house and am moving to close on it.

[Speaker 2] That is so exciting. Is it your first house?

[Speaker 1] Yes, actually! I'm finally moving out from my parents' place and am really looking forward to living by myself.

[Speaker 2] That is a huge accomplishment in this day and age. Are you going to be able to take any of your horses?

[Speaker 1] I'll be leaving them on my parents' property. Because they're already set up with a caretaker, I'm opting not to bring them. It'd be way too much work. I'll miss them though!

[Speaker 2] Is the house in Colorado? You're going to be so far from your horses! That has to be hard

[Speaker 1] Yep. The house is in Colorado. It'll be hard, but it was getting harder trying to live with my parents. They're so demanding and are set in their ways.

[Speaker 2] I can understand that. It is so hard for people our age to get our own house. That is why I am so impressed by you! What do you have planned to do in Colorado?

[Speaker 1] I'm going to try to visit the mountains as often as I can. Hiking, climbing, skiing - you name it, and I'll be doing it!

[Speaker 2] Are there any other reasons for the move to Colorado? You know, anything plant based?

[Speaker 1] Not really. I guess I'm just looking forward to the freedom most of all. How about you? Do you think about moving sometime in the future?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure. I like where I am now and drunky loves where we are, but it is always nice to have a change of scenery. I don't like being in one place for too long.

I live with my parents near the beach.

I am fairly wealthy.

I made an offer on a house and I am about to move in. My house is in Colorado. I'm not bringing them with me.

I like hiking, climbing, and skiing on mountains.

I like Mexican food.

I have a dog named drunky.

I own a subaru.

I have little knowledge about horses.

I am not moving.

[Speaker 1] I finally closed on my house officially and will be moving in soon!

[Speaker 2] That is so exciting! When is the official move in date?

[Speaker 1] In a month's time. Although I'm a little worried, the owner's have been pretty up and down, so there's always a chance they could pull out!

[Speaker 2] Don't be worried! Just take it one step at a time and fix one issue at a time. Everything will come together.

[Speaker 1] True, that's a good attitude to take. Is your reason for not being interested in moving that you just like where you live?

[Speaker 2] I don't like change, but eventually I am going to force myself to move! I think it is for the best!

[Speaker 1] I understand. That's why I lived with my parents for ages. But that's good. Do you have any ideas where you might go?

[Speaker 2] I don't have much of an idea where to go. I am worried to make the move! Do you have any suggestions? I was thinking something country side.

[Speaker 1] Hmmm that'd be cool, I bet Drunky would love it. I've been so focused on Colorado I haven't really thought about other places. I'm biased but Colorado has beautiful countryside. Do you like outdoor activities?

[Speaker 2] I do love outdoor activities and hiking. I wonder if I would like to move to Colorado too!

[Speaker 1] Oh that'd be great. I don't know many people around there so it would be great to have a friend. We could hike together! Do you have any idea on a timeframe?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I would love to go hiking with you! Maybe I can take a trip down in a few months to explore and see how I like the location.

I live with my parents near the beach.

I want to move to Colorado. I am fairly wealthy.

I have just bought a house. I am planning to move in a month. I like Colorado. I am moving to Colorado.

I lived with my parents for a long time.

I like Mexican food.

I have a dog named drunky.

I own a subaru.

I have little knowledge about horses.

I am not moving. I am not planning to move right now but might move some time in the future. I do not like change.

I love outdoor activities and hiking. I do not live in Colorado currently. I like hiking with others.

[Speaker 1] It doesn't seem like the sellers have pulled out. I started looking into moving companies in preparation for the move.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! Very exciting.  Did you start transferring everything to Colorado yet?

[Speaker 1] Yeah some. I am sad, though, because I am not bringing my horses with me. i am, however, looking forward to all the new hikes I can go on in Colorado. I know you don't like change but maybe you could fly out and we can go hiking together. It would be my treat!

[Speaker 2] Aw! That would be hard. I'm not sure I could ever move without my dog. What will you do with the horses?

[Speaker 1] I am giving them to a friend. She has a large ranch and she absolutely loves horses. How about coming out to Colorado when I get settled in? I will pay for your flight and you could stay in my new house. I have plenty of room. My 12 siblings will not be living there- lol-

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you're giving them to someone you know...but yeah absolutely! That sounds like a dream. I could even start saving up now! I bet you're excited to get away from all of them! LOL

[Speaker 1] Like I said, it will be my treat! all you need to bring is your clothes and a toothbrush. There are so many outdoor activities in Colorado. I am so excited to start planning all the hikes and in the winter the skiing is probably close to the best in the world. So would you like to come out in summer or winter?

[Speaker 2] Summer...is there always snow on the mountains? I'm not even sure how warm Colorado gets. I can't wait to see all your favorite new spots you discover.

[Speaker 1] It will be great! I don't know though if there will be snow enough for any skiiing- I will have to Google it. So you could bring your dog too. Is she/he small enough to fit in a carrier that goes under the plane seat? I would definitely want you to bring him/her because I know how hard to leave a pet behind.

[Speaker 2] Honestly I wouldn't mind a little vacation from him too! lol! Even us fur dads need our breaks. I'm pretty jacked about this! Thank you for offering!

[Speaker 1] No problem- I am so happy to have you come. My mom and I lived together forever and now she is no longer going to be living with me. I am sure I will be needing the company so you would be doing me a great favor. Just curious- what kind of dog do you have?

[Speaker 2] He's a labradoodle! The laziest, cuddliest dog I've ever met! Will you get a new pet once you're settled in?


I'm a painter.
I like making music.
I don't want a boss.
I try to love everyone.
I live within my means.

I am omnivorous.
I like rock climbing.
My favorite band is 21 pilots.
I work in a restaurant.
I enjoy going for a walk.

I like painting indoors.

I like cool music. I prefer making my own music.

I don't want a supervisor. I live a simple life.

I rock climb.
I love 21 Pilots.
I cook at a restaurant.

[Speaker 1] Hello there. Glad to meet you!

[Speaker 2] Me too, I just finished rock climbing. I am pretty tired.

[Speaker 1] Rock climbing sounds like a risky hobby. I like painting indoors.

[Speaker 2] Do you like it with some cool music?

[Speaker 1] I do, and I even prefer making music of my own. What about you?

[Speaker 2] Do you know the 21 pilot band?

[Speaker 1] I have never heard of them. Tell me more.

[Speaker 2] Those are my coolest band ever. I love their music.

[Speaker 1] What sort of work do you do?

[Speaker 2] I am a cook in a restaurant.

[Speaker 1] That can be a busy job. I'd rather not ever have a supervisor.

[Speaker 2] You do not have to have one when you are at the top of the game.

[Speaker 1] So true, though I live simply. Not struggling to the pinnacle of success..

[Speaker 2] Do you like food like I do too?

I like painting indoors.

[Speaker 1] Did you go rock climbing again today?

[Speaker 2] I wish I had time to. I was too busy at the restaurant. I may try this weekend though.

[Speaker 1] that will be so nice! its finally spring so it's good to get outside when you can. do you have to work weekends at the restaurant?

[Speaker 2] Mostly in the evenings and nights. The dinner crowd.

[Speaker 1] that's not so bad but it does mean you must work a lot of nights. at least you can go climbing during the day!

[Speaker 2] I know but our other cook is sick so I have to take over during the days to :(

[Speaker 1] oh man that's horrible! you must be exhausted! do they at least pay you overtime?

[Speaker 2] At least the pay is nice with over time. But the supervisor is very demanding and it can be hectic in the kitchen

[Speaker 1] I bet. restaurant work is so demanding. how did you first get started cooking in restaurants?

[Speaker 2] during high school my first job was working in a restaurant as a busboy and over the years I eventually became a cook.

[Speaker 1] that's so cool! do you have a cuisine specialty?

[Speaker 2] our specialty  is Italian seafood. What makes us different we do not do the typical Italian pasta meals. All traditional seafood from the coasts of Italy

I like painting indoors.

I love 21 Pilots.

I like rock climbing, when I have time. I was too busy.

My first job started in high school. I worked as a busboy in the restaurant. Over the years I  became a cook.

[Speaker 1] So do you plan to go on the vacation after such a busy period?

[Speaker 2] Yes hopefully! Maybe I'll get a chance to go rock climbing. What type of music do you make?

[Speaker 1] I usually make rap songs. I tend to base them off of my favorite anime series and other stuff I like.

[Speaker 2] That's cool! I've never watched anime series before even though many people have been recommending them to me.

[Speaker 1] There are lots of different types if you ever want to give them a shot some time. There are even some based on food and cooking. I can't say I've heard of any rock climbing anime, but there could very well be one out there.

[Speaker 2] I didn't know there would be some based off on food and cooking, that's actually quite interesting since I love to cook, and even bake at times.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah, there are actually several based on that topic. Food Wars and Toriko are a couple of the bigger ones. I've made a few raps about them actually.

[Speaker 2] That's great! So how do you get inspiration for your raps?

[Speaker 1] There's so much inspiration you can get from a great anime series, but I like to incorporate other sources too. Sometimes I'll borrow ideas from other rap songs or some experience I've had in my life. Speaking of experiences, where are you planning to go for your vacation?

[Speaker 2] I was thinking of a mountain area, so maybe somewhere in Colorado that way I might have the possibility of going rock climbing. Do you plan on going on vacation?

[Speaker 1] Well I don't go on vacation too often. But it might be a good idea to give me some new ideas for my next song. I wonder where I should go. Maybe I'll have to give rock climbing a try.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you never know maybe while your way up above the ground you'll get some inspiration for your next rap!

I like painting indoors.

I make rap songs.  I like anime. I have made rap songs about some anime based on the topic of food.

I don't go on vacation very often.

I love 21 Pilots.

I am hoping to go on a vacation soon. I am thinking of going to Colorado on my vacation so that I can do some rock climbing while I'm there.

I've never watched anime.

[Speaker 1] Did you make any progress with the plans for your upcoming vacation?

[Speaker 2] Not really. I have been so busy with work lately because the restaurant is so busy! Which is great and all, but I don't want to spend my whole life working overtime.

[Speaker 1] Hopefully when the other cook comes back you can use some of the overtime money on your rock climbing excursion! When you get home from work, what do you eat?

[Speaker 2] It's kind of funny, being a cook. You'd think when I get home I cook myself some extravagant meal, but usually by the time I am home I don't feel like cooking anything. But! The bonus to the job is, I generally get to eat whatever I want at work, all day long. So, I don't have to spend as much money on food.

[Speaker 1] Oh man, I would be 300lbs!

[Speaker 2] Not even a joke! I have to be really careful how much I eat while I am there, or I wont be climbing ANY rocks anytime soon! How's the whole music thing going? Make anything new lately?

[Speaker 1] I've been painting more recently so haven't made much music. I'm hoping that I'll get some inspiration soon. What kind of music do you like to listen to?

[Speaker 2] I guess I would say I like a little of everything, but I do really like rock and 21 Pilots. I want to try to go to some concerts while I am in Colorado, too!

[Speaker 1] Concert in Colorado would be great! Red Rocks? Maybe I'll make something for you to sample. If you wouldn't mind.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that would be cool. I'm always open to try new things. And yeah, Red Rocks! The Amphitheatre there looks absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to go.

[Speaker 1] I'm excited to for you! And I'm glad you are keeping an open mind about my music. I, also, wouldn't mind hitting up your restaurant.

[Speaker 2] I swear we have the best Italian seafood in the state. I will bet my entire reputation on that, if that's saying anything lol! And I've always loved your music, I'm just glad you still keep making stuff. I hope you find some more inspiration soon.

I like painting indoors.

I don't go on vacation very often.

I am artistic. I have been painting recently.

I have seen concerts done at Red Rocks. I enjoy sampling music.

I like sharing my music with people. I enjoy trying new restaurants.

I cook at a restaurant. Mostly in the evenings and nights. Our other cook is sick. I have to take over during the days to. Overtime pay is nice. My supervisor is very demanding. Our  specialty  is Italian seafood. I love Italian seafood.

I've never watched anime.

I love food and cooking.  I enjoy baking. I rarely cook for myself. I enjoy eating good food at work. I am watching my weight.

I often work overtime. I have a vacation planned in the future.

I like all kinds of music. Rock and 21 Pilots are my favorite music. I enjoy going to concerts. I will be in Colorado in the future.

I am open to new things. I am looking forward to my vacation in Colorado.

[Speaker 1] I finished the music sample we talked about. I'm going to send it to you now. The file isn't too big so it should get there quickly. Let me know what you think!

[Speaker 2] Thanks, I'm listening! So far so good. You created this all yourself? You're great! You should try selling this stuff.

[Speaker 1] I appreciate that!  You're the only one that I've ever shared my music with though.  I'll need to get the word out somehow.

[Speaker 2] This isn't the type of stuff I usually listen to, but this rap really is good. I love your creativity. Do you have any other artists you could recommend to me with a similar style?

[Speaker 1] I really don't know of any other rappers that rap about anime.  I like to think that I'm unique.

[Speaker 2] So cool! You should definitely try to get the word out. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like this. It feels like the perfect music for playing while I cook dinner and dance around my kitchen.

[Speaker 1] That's great to hear?  Do you know of any good ways that I can advertise my music?

[Speaker 2] Well, maybe you could get a webpage up with some samples? You could also try streaming some through a music app. I discover most of my new music through apps.

[Speaker 1] good idea.  Maybe I can put my songs up on soundcloud or spotify.

[Speaker 2] Yes! I love Spotify. It is so easy to discover new great artists. I get bored with my old music so quickly. You could also maybe try sharing more widely. Sharing with friends and family, and asking them to share it with others. Do you think you could do this live somewhere?

[Speaker 1] I could try to get a club or a bar to let me perform.  That'd be another good way to increase exposure.  Or I could just set up on a street corner in a big city.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, make sure you have a business card so people can find you later if they like you. You could also try restaurants. Mine sometimes features a musician on Friday nights.
