Hello.
Hello!
I wish I knew everything my friends knew. Haha
Haha like what? Is there something they know about that you wish you did? I am not sure if there is anything big my best friend does not know about me.
thats true. Its really hard to know what they know about you
That's true actually. I guess they do not know what I ate for dinner tonight.
I havent eaten anything yet. Although, Im super hungry. Just havent gotten home yet Any ideas for dinner?
For something quick and cheap, I often cook ramen and soft boil an egg. You can put carrots and other veggies inside too and it makes your cheap ramen super great.
Actually I do that often too. Some people in my apartment think I'm weird for it. But honestly they don't know what they are missing out Ramen with some good meats and vegetables thrown in there is actually pretty good.
You do that too? I am so glad to hear that. It's great and makes a real dinner. What other things do you like to make?
I like to make simple things like that. Sometimes ill throw some bread in the toaster to go withit I also like to eat hamburgers, and when they are home cooked they are just better I also have had cooked chicken thrown on a salad. That ones pretty easy too. Maybe thats what Ill have tonight
Yeah, that's a great idea. I really enjoy cooking, so I make some meals that take awhile, and others that are quite quick. Have you ever had couscous before?
Pastas always easy, but sometimes spaghetti gets a little old
Chicken and veggies is like one of the healthiest things you can eat!
I really like the chicken on salad or something similar What is couscous?
It's kind of like a pasta, but in this round shape. You can find it at pretty much any grocery store, but it's what I use to mix up my pasta dishes. I put pesto on it! And you can put tomatoes as well! Also it is fun to say.
Maybe Ill try that it sounds pretty good. Is it just a pasta that is a different shape It is really fun to say. The only awkward part about it right now, is I don't know how to say it, just how to spell it haha
Kind of, it's a different grain. But it's soft like pasta! You say it "coos coos" haha They use it a lot in the middle east! So I have made it before with like golden raisins and roasted cauliflower and things.
Oh that is fun to say! Have you been to the Middle East? I love raisins but never heard of golden raisins. What are those?
No, I have never been! Morocco is a place I would love to go. Have you been there?
I also like cauliflower, especially when it is sauteed with some other vegetables with some olive oil
Just like a normal raisin, but I believe they are made with green grapes. They are a little tart, and a bit more plump. So good!
Ive actually never been outside the United States. But one day I think it would be a great adventure
I have never been outside the US either, I would love to travel some! Where would you go first?
I think I would travel to Australia or somewhere down there. Just seems like there is so much nature that I would love to see. Although the dog sized spiders, not sure what I would do about those. I think Europe would be cool. I know that is a little broad there are so many places in Europe but there are so many different places to choose And they are all great options!
Ooh yes! That would be really cool! The Great Barrier Reef is a place I would love to see (before it all disappears)! You're right though, dog-sized spiders are a little scary I totally get what you mean with Europe, so many different places there. I would be happy to go to any of them. Do you prefer warmer temperatures? I always picture Australia as quite hot, though I am not sure if that is accurate!
I like any kind of temperature, as long as I can ease into it a little. I hate quick changes in weather. Kind of like Utah. Although, I like everything else about it. Even though I hate quick changes, I love the snow. There is just so much to do in it. Skiing and snowboarding are so much fun But then in the summer I really like water sports. I really like kneeboarding and wake boarding. Not as much water skiing though I was actually just talking to someone about the weather in Australia. He used to live there and he said that there are many different types of weather in Australia.
Yes, I know what you mean. I have never been snowboarding or skiing before! I think that would make me like winter more than I do now. Do you like one more than the other?
There are places where it is hot, like up in the north, but down south it can get kinda cold
Ah, and I am not much of a water sport person either! I am not a sport person in general, but I love boats! And being outside!
Im more of a skier although, they are both fun. I just don't like the inconveniences of the the snowboard. You always have to unbuckle and buckle up after each lift because you can't keep your snowboard on all the time Skis you can just leave on
I guess Australia is literally an entire continent. Of course it would have different kinds of weather. It's quite far south too, so it makes sense that it would get cold. I think the thing that scares me away from trying skiing or snowboarding is that I know it would take awhile for me to get somewhat good at it, and the equipment can get
Ya, boats are really fun
expensive! I would love to try skiing sometime though.
Ya, equipment is kind of expensive for it. Probably one of the most expensive hobbies there is out there. Thats why I don't go a lot.
Do you have a resort here in Utah that you prefer going to?
But I love it enough to go every once and a while and fork up the doe for the immense amount of fun I find it to be I don't have a particular resort. Especially because this is one of my first winters in provo. I lived up north a little further and I liked going to beaver mountain. But its small compared to all of the large resorts down here. The only thing about that is they are generally more expensive down here. Up in Logan area, ski resorts are a lot cheaper. Like two hundred dollars cheaper for a season pass
Hmm, I have never heard of that place before! I thought I remembered BYU students getting some type of deal on passes, but I may be wrong about that. That difference is crazy! I bet it's nicer as well because it wouldn't be as crowded!
Ya, they do get a pretty good deal, but it is still really expensive. Maybe ill check it out this year. Ya, it hasn't been too crowded when I went. There are less people that go, but its because its also smaller. So it may be nearly the same amount of crowded on some days as some of these big name ski resorts are
Have you been skiing all your life? Or is it more of a recent thing?
Actually its probably less so recently, mainly because of finances and time. But as a child growing up it seemed we went all the time and it was so much fun I wouldn't say Im really that great at it. Just really like skiing. What kind of things do you like to do?
Oh that sounds so fun! So I'm guessing your whole family skis?
Not my parents, but everyone else does. My parents are kind of old. Haha Don't tell them that I told you that though.
I really love art. Making it and going to museums to look at it and reading about it. I enjoy cooking. I love writing and watching good movies. I do love being outside though too! I really enjoy hiking. Haha I won't tell them!!
Oh, I love art too! There are so much good art out there. Do you like animation?
The art I focus most of my time on is not animation, but I still enjoy it! It's fun and light and cool to see drawings made into something that moves within a space! Do you like it?
Ya, I actually like making it more than watching. The kind of animation like Nemo. I think it is just a really cool art.
Ah, you make it? That's really cool! Yes, Pixar does such a good job. Their shorts and movies are always wonderful. BYU has an incredible animation program too. How did you learn to do that?
I also think that other art is super awesome Thats one reason Im here is to go through the BYU animation program For some reason when I was very young I wanted to learn it, and around twelve I started to figure things out on my own
Oh wow! How cool! I hope you get in! I think that's wonderful that you started young and wanted to learn such a cool skill. Do you have to have any sort of special software?
I use Maya and Blender. I don't know if you know what those programs are, but they interest me a ton. I think Im going to do the computer science side of animation though I really like the vfx. I think it would be really cool to work for Lucas films on one of their feature films
I do not know those programs. I was just curious on what even they were called. Is there a computer science track in the program? Or would you just tailor your skills to that? Explain what vfx is to me!
There is a computer science major with an emphasis in animation Vfx is the kind of stuff that you know is fake but looks real because it was computer generated
Oh! I did not even know that was an option for a major. How cool! Ah, gotcha! That would be a very cool job to have. I know BYU is tight with Disney, so I am sure there are connections with Lucas Film somewhere in there too.
Vfx isn't necessarily a major but doing the animation will get you to a point to enter the industry in it Ya, that's what I keep thinking. One day Byu is going to get me into the indistry Industry
You picked the right school. How cool. So do you really like movies then?
Ya. I like them but I really like making them. I think the vfx movies that everyone else thinks are bad are really cool Mainly because they have really cool things that I dream about making
Haha that's funny, but as a self-proclaimed movie snob, I feel like your answer for liking the bad movies is a very good reason.
Thanks! I really like good movies with good stories as well thiugh Though
Tell me some of your favorite movies! Don't be afraid. Haha
Transformers or most marvel movies I really like coco too! And all the Disney ones
A superhero fan! I am not always a marvel fan, but I saw the newest Avengers and quite liked it. I have not seen Coco yet, but Disney always does a great job.
I recommend Coco. They did a really good job on it. 10/10
I will have to watch it! Hey so sorry, my computer is about to die, so I need to head out! Thanks for talking with me!
