Hello How are you?
Hey! whats up! I can see your chats now and i can see mine
Thats good!
it looks like the glitch is fixed :)
What dobyoublike to do?
how have you been recently? i like to do a lot of stuff
I am been well what about you?
i read books, read the news, i like learning, playing games of all kinds physical, board, mental, video, you name it i play volley ball and i am a musician i sing and play the piano mainly but i havent dont much recently i am doing well today there isn't really too much going on
What do you like to read? I love reading.
to be completely honest with you. that depends what do you like to read? i have read lots of different novels but i mainly stick to science fiction and fantasy
Anything and everything!! I like fantasy and historical fiction best. I love sci-fi as well.
oh interesting i haven't read too many historical fiction books
Have you read any books by Brandon Sanderson?
back in highschool i would just go to the teen fiction section and look for good stuff. no but sorenson yes i think
That's cool. Do you like Harry Potter?
yeah i like harry potter what about you?
My favorite author author is Tamora Pierce. I love Harry Potter! Who is your favorite author?
interesting i really like eoin colfer and artemis fowl have you read that series?
I have read Artemis Fowl, they were enjoyable.
so you aren't a big fan? I just take it from the tone of that sentence haha. have you read the whole series?
I like the books, but they aren't my favorite.
i really liked how he outsmarted all of these really intelligent elves and people and i also liked how at the end he had powers and how he kind of died but ended up still surviving
I was good. It had a good storyline.
have you ever read the series of unfortunate events?
I haven't yet, but it is on maybe list. Have you read the Inheritance Cycle, Ranger's Apprentice, or Fablehaven?
i have
*my list
all but the rangers apprentice but i have hear of it a lot the series of unfortunate events is a good series i would definitely recommend it
I like rangers apprentice a lot. It is a good series.
i really like how it ends, even if there are a series of unfortunate events leading up to the happy ending what is it about may i ask?
I will have to read it this summer.
i need to get back into reading maybe i will read a few series over my summer break i have already heard of a bunch of good ones chatting with everyone here
I agree. Everyone I have chatted with seems to enjoy reading.
yeah well that makes sense :) if they didn't this would probably not really be their cup of hot cocoa!
True!
How many guys have you talked to on here? i can't seem to find any
I have talked to 2 other guys. There seem to be a lot more girls though. . .
who were the guys? i only know of two to be honest hahaha so i wonder if they are the same
Alex and Sam I think
oh weird
Who did you talk to?
so then i have heard of an Alex a Sam and a John I have talked to a Jae and a Mitch. so that makes five
Nice. There aren't all that many people on here actually.
really? how many people have you talked with?
I have talked with 10 people.
oh wow
What about you?
probably close to 100 maybe less though
Wow!
maybe more like 50 but somewhere up there I have about 20 million points
That is a lot of texting.
yeah it is hahaha i think i will lose though its ok, i mean there is a good second place prize.
I am definitely going to.
hahahaha well its ok
There are some cool prizes.
this is pretty fun anyway
I am doing this because my mom says I don't socialize at all apparently. It is fun though.
hahaha are you serious?
Yes
this is not the best way to socialize in my opinion try using voice to text and that might help a little
That is true
it is better to articulate your thoughts and feelings out loud and learn do that first
I prefer reading to anything else.
well that is fine, but not everyone will send you texts and emails but it is your choice
I have one really good friend. But we are going different places for college.
i will be honest i wasnt really much of a talker before my mission. my mission helped me learn how to talk to and connect with different people oh that is really sad that sounds like my situation
I am really close to all my family. I have tons of cousins.
I have made new friends since though. it works out if you are willing to work for it me too my parents are both from families of 8+ i dont know the exact count to be honest
My parents are both from big family's.
when i say 8+ i mean the number of their siblings
We go on family vacation each year. About 30 kids and 20 adults. Kinda crazy!
is that just one side of your family?!?!
Yes
that is incredible what about the other side of your family do you ever meet up and do anything really cool?
Yea we have yearly family reunions. And I tend to have 3 celebrations for every holiday.
oh ok. that is crazy. we just have one for each side of the family
What about your family?
i guess if you consider my immediate family celebration that would make three but we have family reunions all the time its like ever couple of years i probably missed out on the last one.
Surprisingly not many families have reunions. It is sad how distant families are.
that is sad. they can be really fun and you can meet lots of relatives and make friends with them they are hard to plan so i can see how that can be an issue for some people, and sometimes people arent willing to sacrifice to make it some people are just not very social and are more solitary
Definitely, family can be your best friends though!
and so they dont really meet up as often
True
yeah they can. thats how my family is to me
Do you have many siblings then? I have 4.
i have 4 as well
Cool
brothers or sisters?
1 brother 3 sisters
oh that is sad
Why?
brothers are way better than sisters. guys are just really cool people i guess. no offense. haha i am just joking with you but that is a tough ratio. 4 girls to 1 guy poor guy. i am sure he loves you all though.
I thought is was kinda funny. I wish I had more brothers.
kinda ... i get the feeling that you are trying to soften the blow hahaha people use euphemisms all the time and i think it is really funny, not that that was, but still
Yea he puts up with us. He doesn't know what to do around our guy cousins though. He doesn't rough house, so it shocks him when people do.
they are like, this is not that bad. oh interesting i am in a family of 3 guys and two girls and we dont rough house either maybe because i am the oldest brother and i dont rough house
One of my aunts has 4 boys and one girl. They rough house a lot and she is very much a tom boy.
i suppose it all has to start with someone and then it gets passed down the line and before you know it everyone is rough housing with each other
That is true.
oh wow. yeah my parent are also not very fond of it. if anyone ended up crying we were in big trouble and it doesnt usually take much to get a kid to cry
That's how my mom is.
i got in so much trouble once i was walking around in my back yard and my brothers were playing in the pool they splashed me and i got mad and told them not to splash me again. so i kept walking around and they kept doing it and i was really mad and i knew i couldnt hurt them or do anything rough so i just got mad and picked up a play sword and threw it in their general direction it ended up hitting my brother on the head and i got into trouble so much for trying not to rough house hahaha moral of the story?
My younger siblings get in trouble a lot. I get in more trouble for banking sarcastic comments. My youngest sister once threw a marble at my brother when she was mad and ended
banking?
Making, sorry. My phone is not wanting to work today. Up giving him a black eye. The last part is the end of what my little sister did.
oh that is terrible i got a black eye once just once, in my entire life and it isnt the most respectable story either it is kind of funny i am kind of a bit of a curious guy
All of my siblings has had one at sometime. I actually haven't had a black eye, but I have cracked my head open 4 times as well as many bloody noses.
i really like to learn and figure things out.
I am really clumsy.
you have cracked you head open how?
I was hit in the head with a metal rod once, fell off some monkey bars, hit my head on a fence post, and tripped hitting my head on a fireplace.
oh wow i feel so bad for you! i used to be really clumsy but i kind of got better at not tripping i consider it one of my strong points now
I am still really clumsy. I am really good at falling up and down stairs. Don't ask how I can fall up stairs.
it is an art to fall gracefully sorry for the pun but like when you fall gracefully you dont get hurt and that is what i am good at
I am use to the puns. My best friend loves to use my name to make puns .
hahaha that is funny my name isnt really that punny unless you like to cuss
True.
or if you have a particular interest in the generation of hydroelectric power
That could be amusing.
actually none of my brothers or sisters names are punny although i wont mention it for the sake of the rules, my last name can be punny at times haha
Nice. My siblings and I all have names and nicknames that can be really punny.
nice have you ever seen the greatest showman before?
My parents picked out initials before our names for a pun. I love the greatest showman!! My sister and I bought the movie as soon as it came out on dvd.
hahaha thats funny. I love the greatest showman too! What are your favorite parts/songs!
I really like The song from now on.
that is a really good one
I like how it started as well. It captured your attention from the very beginning.
yeah that is a plus i really like how it ended too
It was an amazing movie.
and how it got there, but most importantly i really enjoyed how the story line was told yeah it was i really liked the moral that the whole movie taught
It was a really good story.
that family is the true dream and that happiness comes from being with them and not with competing with the rest of the world yeah i feel like it hit me deep
It was a great family movie.
i am rather competitive myself and i am pretty determined when i set a goal to make sure that i follow through with it and accomplish my plans oh yeah. I love come alive it is a really good song to use to wake up to.
Me too! People tease me about how stubborn I am.
it just gradually gets more and more exciting
Come alive is a bother one of my favorites.
i really like a million dreams as well
Another Honestly all the songs are great!!
because it talks about a kid who has a dream but all it is is a big splotch of colors and fantasies that he only sees at night when he dreams and how it keeps him awake and he wants to make them part of his world and it is awesome because the song and the nature of the movie and the way it is started implies that he will and the intro and the beginning of the movie have so much
Dreams are amazing. It is always sad when someone gives up on their dreams.
contrast that it really pulls you in to see what and how he is able to accomplish his dream i like rewrite the stars a lot because it is basically a classic romeo juliet love story they cant be together, but they are determined to rewrite their destinies so they can i mean it isnt as harsh as something out of romeo and juliet
My younger sister loves tightrope.
and it ends way better... but you get what i mean i like that one as well. there are only a few that i am not extremely fond of
I understand what your saying.
i bet you can imagine how much i enjoyed the movie and how impressed i was when i left the theater i actually got to watch it for free because the sell one dollar tickets at the byu theater
Seeing it in theatres was the best.
and one of my friends offered to take me for free because it was her birthday it was really awesome well the byu varsity theatre is way more crowded and is really more intended for a stage but it still works well
That's cool! I worked at my local theatre, so I saw it free as well.
and it is a way good deal for how cheap it is really? that is awesome! Do they let you watch any of the new movies for free?
Sounds like it. I can see anything I want free .
that is so legit! i have never worked at a movie theatre and to be completely honest i havent really had a serious job for anyone before
I have worked a few places.
but i am really crafty and good at accomplishing practically any task i set my mind to it. I am good at overcoming barriers yeah? what have been your different jobs?
I have worked in a lunch room, catering, farm, child care, and the movie theatre.
oh that is pretty cool. by child care do you mean small babysitting jobs?
I am still doing child care, catering, in a lunch room, quilt shop, and teaching classes at a makerspace. I also am a housekeeper. I like to stay busy.
i have never really gotten to do any of those but i think i wouldnt really want to either. i dont think people like hiring guys to watch children that is a good thing for sure being busy brings out good things that you never knew about yourself
True.
but you have to learn how to have balance and leave room for your family and for your other life priorities is makerspace a 3d printing place? Sorry for my ignorance
The makerspace is an area to make anything you want. We have 3Dp printers, sewing machines, welding supplies, wood working, painting, glass working, and sculpting right now.
wow that is interesting so it is just a place for you to build anything that you want to build without having to go through some other company or manufacturer? I think  3d printing is really cool and it is big on my list of things to follow on the news. I also follow elon musk, some of the technology companies, stem cell research, quantum computing, among other things
They are starting to become popular. They are really cool places. A lot of it is about trying to teach regular people to make things themselves. Helping people become more self sufficient. Stem cell research is so cool! I love biology.
me too. i didnt do so well in my ap bio class because there was a lot of busy work and i wasnt on top of it my senior year but i got a 4 on the exam and i loved all of the lectures. i find it interesting to learn about how the human body functions, especially on an organic chemistry plane or at the microscopic level
That's cool. I thought about being a biologist for a whil, but I changed my mind.
all of the processes that our body undergoes silently without us really even knowing a single thing yeah biology isnt really that great in my opinion as a major
Biology is really diverse. It is expanding so much right now. They recently discover a new organ which is really cool.
unless you want to go further in and do pharmaceuticals or be a nurse or doctor i mean you can go into the health industry oh yeah the endocardium? i think i read about something like that
It is cool.
there is some scientific debate as to whether or not it should be considered an organ you know i dont think it is called the endocardium maybe it is interstitial something
I am gonna have to go, but it was nice talking with you!! I am not sure either.
membrane or something ok have a good one!
