G' morning Would you say bacon became fast food then?
Holy guac yes!
Hey!
How was the Eagle project?
It was good. It was a map stand thing for a cemetery. We stained it. So, it looks more finished now
Cool beans!
Yep. Whatcha got to do today?
...watch movies in class. Have the sister missionaries over for dinner. Try to study for AP stats. Hang around on here sleep The usual
Sounds nice
What about you? Yes. Sleeping is nice.
I'll have to go to work here in about 40 min. Than come back home clean, practice trombone, meet with some people.... procrastinate
Haha. Procrastination is always on the list of to-dos. You play the trombone! Were you in band in HS? Do you plan on joining band at BYU?
Yep, played it since sixth grade. I did try out for the marching band. We'll see here some time this week if I was actually good enough :(
Here's hoping! How did they have you try out/what was the process?
You play autdition material and send in a recording
How hard was the material? Do you think you did well? That would be awesome if you got to be in the college marching band!
I would say it was hard for the month I prepared. I learned three new notes( the ones at the very top of the scale). I think I did pretty good on the scales and a couple Of the songs. I bombed the chromatic scale and another song Well, not too bad. Just wasn't what I wanted
Oh yeah, scales. The abominations even though they're pretty core to music What songs did you have to play?
Scales are fun when you know it. Etuddes 1 and 2 and I picked a part from the song amethyst
Haha, key words: when. you know it. I barely know my scales and going into guitar as an instrument and it was all of sudden where I had to know them.
Oh, really? That sounds stressful
Mrgh. Yeah.  I've played piano for a while and none of my teachers never focused on the "technical part" so I didn't really learn my scales. And then my band friends talk about their band final and about all these scales and I'm completely lost
I played piano and missed the technical stuff too band saved me. Did you finally learn them?
...kind of? We go through some scales in guitar class, but translating from strings to keys is not very smooth.
Hm, good point.  Sometimes I wish I was like one of those musically geniuses  who doesn't need to know the gross basics
Haha. Another a place where the power of mimicry would be helpful
If I was a better mimic, I would be good at everything that I wished
If I was a better mimic, I would be a better dancer. So bad at it.
Hey, SAME. I am always envious at dances when people can do cool stuff
We had so a recent priest laurel conference that was multi stake and there were a looooot of people that could pop and lock it. It was amazin I'm just plain envious of people who can sway their hips. Mine were not made for swaying
I can sway atleast. I just wish my parents had enrolled me in dance
Ditto. It's good exercise and just a plain good skill to have. In life.
Yes! If I want to learn it now, I'll have to do it in secret as to not embarrass myself
My secret place is in my head, where no one else can see. *curls back in bad* *bed
What?
In my dreams. I'm not even confident to do it in secret in real life. Unfortunado
Oh, makes sense. So you never want to learn to dance?
I do. I just need to be with people who are at the same level as me. Otherwise I become extremely self-conscious. Or lose all inhibitions and make a fool of my self. It's a problem.
You should try sometime atleast
Line dances though. I can do those.
Those are fun! I pretty proud of myself because I learned those by mimicking.
Aha! So you do have the power of mimicry! Oh! Do you know how to the sandwich song?
YES!  Kudos to efy
Holy guac, if I ever meet you on campus you need to teach me. They always play it at stake dances and I keep trying to mimic it but it just goes so fast.
I'm a bit rusty. But, yes I'll teach you!  I usually remember by watching others Are you starting in the fall or summer? I can't remember if you told me
Fall freshman! Are you?
Ditto! Heritage right?
Yep! What building?
29
Hey close! 28
Whoop, whoop
I AM SO EXCITED!! Have you talked to your roommates?
Yeah, one is from my stake. And we have a Marco ooo chat with one from Idaho. The other hasn't responded to our emails:( *ooo is polo
Nice, did you and the girl from your stake plan that? Yeah, I'm pretty sure all my roommates are from UT or somewhere very close, and I'm just: ...NY
We did plan it. We wanted to start a new place with someone we knew Are they nice atleast?
...as far as I know. I've only talked to 1 or 2 of them. They're all in a group chat that I won't be able to join until June. Which is sad.
Why can't you join till June?
OK. No laughing.
Alright
I just got my first phone a little while ago, but because my parents want me to pay for the whole thing, they told me to wait until June to start the plan (since it's paid monthly) So I have the phone, it's just not activated More like a tablet. Thing
Girl, I feel your pain. I just got my phone last year. I've been paying for mine It's okay. Not silly at all I've had to do the dumb "my parents won't let me"
Holy guac, it's nice to meet someone in the same situation! The pressure has been building a lot during senior year to get a phone too so I can somehow stay in contact with everyone before I leave and never see them again.
Same! Everyone is always like why do your parents not let you and you're like 17 It's so hard It's good that you have one now!! Excited for ya :)
Haha, me too. Just a couple more weeks, and then I will have access to the great social media world. *evil laughter*
*applause"\^*^/ I can't grt Instagram (tha app) or Snapchat till I'm 18 *get *the
Thank you thank you *bows* Yeah, I don't have Instagram or Snapchat either
It's a pain. Because everyone only communicates that way
Literally! Group projects: OK everyone exchange phone numbers or Snapchats! Me:...here's my email
.... *on knees tearing up* I feel the pain Or they're all sitting there in their phones. And you're like "heyyy...."
*kneels down to cry with you* Haha. Everyone: pulls out there phone. Me: pulls out a book
*ph ground surrounded by our only friends that are books crying* On Why don't you have a phone? You: um, well.... The pity flashed in their eyes. That's the part I hate!
Yes! Book friends
Which ones do you like to read?
Fantasy mostly. Kind of getting into sci-fi You?
I like fantasy too. Also, medieval, some sci fi, mello romance What's your favorite series?
Ugh, so hard to find good romance on the mellow level. Brandon Sanderson, Tamora Pierce, Harry Potter... (first two are authors)
I've heard of Sanderson but never read any of his I'll have to loook him up Look
Yes! Please do. He is reeaaaly good. He even inputs some religious context in a really cool way. And his magic systems that are completely on point
That's neat Is he medieval?
Not...really. He's mostly fantasy. There are certain aspects of some of the societies that are kind of medieval, but not a lot
Oh, cool
Tamora Pierce though is pretty  medieval based
If you can't tell, I haven't read a medieval book in awhile Haha sorry
That's OK. They're a good genre. WHat are some of your favorite series?
Mortal instruments, misadventures of jacky Faber, redwell, Harry Potter too *redwall
I tried to get into the Redwall series when I was younger, but it never clicked. Maybe I should try again...I was a big Warriors cats kid Mortal Instruments was pretty good
NO WAYYYYYYY! I was into warriors too!! At one point, I started to act like the cats a bit... I was alittle obsessed
Haha, Same. My friend's and I had a Warriors phase in elementary school, along with the Pokemon phase. We made each other leaders/deputies/medicine cats We even drew our own comics
I was the only one. I took more of the personalities. I would growl haha. My parents hated it Your club sounds really cool!
Oh man, I growled when I was younger too! haha, good old elementary days. Apparently, when I was in nursery, I would growl at any little boy who sat too close to me.
I'm glad to know someone else had that phase Maybe that's where your boy animosity started Are you at school? Do you need to go?
Kind of. We're not doing much. mostly because my laptop is about to die
