Hello?
Hello back! How is your Monday?  That prompt is a tough one.  I'm not sure which day to pick?  How about you?
Mind Mashing Monday. I think that one day after Christmas ancoiplw years back when my dad blew up. *shiver* he's not usually the mad type That weird word is supposed to be *a couple
That sounds like a great story, please share . . .
Haha. You get to learn about my faults... We were going skiing and were preparing to leave in the morning
The beauty of that is we're complete strangers so that's a pretty safe place to share :)
My dad was already kind of stressed about work and being on Christmas break stuff
ok . . .
I can't really remember what happened, but I think my sister and I wither got into a petty argument or I was being annoying/argumentative/bossy and that was kind of the last s Straw And he lost it and started shouting and swaering up a storm and it was bad My sister and I were in tears He is usually the most calm and collected and happy person I know but that day it was not good Bad combo of stuff
Oh I am so sorry.  I know exactly what it is like to have your dad be that angry.  Mine isn't so calm and collected, he frequently has bursts of anger.
I'm glad you can realate...but also sorry that you ca Can?
So you would relive it and make everything better I take it.  That is very sweet. Yeah it's not fun at times.
Oh yeah. It was very awkward b/c we still ended up skiing but the trip was akward and in public you want to keep the happy face
yup! Do you have fun plans for this summer?
Girls camp! Palmyra pageant! ...work? That's kind of fun. Haha graduation.
I'm doing similar stuff! Graduation is so close! And then I'm going to the Manti pageant :) I have a couple of family reunions, and then work. What are you doing for work?
Meh graduation isn't close enough. From high school right? I work at the Corning Museum of Glass as an Explainer...which is exactly what it sounds like
Yes, I a senior right now. I just have a couple of weeks left so I'm way excited. So at your job do you just explain glass to people? or is Corning a company?
Yes! I think you're the first high school senior of talked to here! Which has been very strange because I thought this was only for incoming freshman. Yep. I have a cart with things they can touch and I tell them about glass There are other carts in the museum and watch one is specific to a different topic Since we rotate carts we have to go through training so we know wverything Corning is a company that makes gorilla glass and scienceware stuff and is not really associated with the museum But we just kind of limp them all together because...glass
Really? I've talked to a mix of people. So now you know a bunch of facts about glass? :) I bet that's hilarious. Do you just spout off random facts because that's totally what I would do.
You have no idea. It's bad. I even used glass for a devotional once.
:) lol I think that's great. So what's something about glass? I'm curious now.
Well...there's a lot of natural glass out there, like obsidian. This is b/c the main ingredient for glass is silica/sand. Other types of natural glass include fulgurites, Tektites trinitites and diatoma Diatoms Fulgurites are when lightning hits sand Tektites are glass from meteors Trinitites wre made when a certain bomb was tested and melted the aand Argh, sand And diatoms are the microscopic skeletons of microscopic sea ceatures
Nice nice. I think that those should be your opening lines on a blind date :)
Oh dear. I can see it now: hi my name's Sailor. Did you know there are 4 other types of natural glass besides obsidian?
Yes! You'd definetly entice those geology or earth major kids. They'd fall for you right then and there! *earth science major ... sometimes I forget words when I type
Haha same. I think you just made my day. I told my mom that and she is now laughing too I used to want to be in a geology major ...in 3rd grade
It was meant to be!! But to be honest for a second. It's way better than never being able to not smell like chlorine. So I'm a swimmer, and i have practice in the mornings, but then after school I go teach swim lessons, and so every once and a while in class people will be like, "It smells like chlorine". i basically bring a pool around with me I'm in a pool 4-6 days a week.
Haha that's great. You're a swimmer? You must be really strong then. Full admiration Ah, I gotta go. It was really nice meeting you Sydni!
thanks, great talking to you too! :)
