I like the smell of a new book.
That is a good smell
Anything new always seems to smell really good. Kind of like a fresh scent.
Do you prefer old ones or new ones?
New ones for sure
I agree new things in general do smell good
Old books kind of have an appeal though
Have you ever smelled a new can of tennis balls?
The yellowed pages look ancient and when you read it it feels like you are uncovering a secret story that has been forgotten and that no one knows abouf It is like you have it all to yourself. No i have not. What does it smell like,
Oh thats a cool way to look at books! Its just a unique smell
Hmmm. Rubbery?
What is rubbery?
A reubbery smell, kind of sulphur like
Oh, I feel dumb. Yeah it sort of like that
Oh ok. Hahaha Sorry if I made you feel stupid.
Haha no worries, I just read what you wrote too fast and didnt think about it
Hahaha that happens. It seems as though everyone is gone for the break. What do you think?
Yeah, everyone is moving out of the dorms today and there is graduation too So it seems like they are all busy doing other things
Yeah that is true I have been on all day, and you are the first person I have talked to.
Yeah, it was pretty slow yesterday, and everytime someone would finally get on I would need to go and it was frustrating
Yeah. Thats too bad. I wasn't available to chat yesterday, sorry
That is alright Your username isnt showing up for some reason
That is weird. It is Adam
Oh hello again
Haha Its just you and me it seems
I guess so! Whats your favorite memory?
Hmm Thats a tough one.
I guess favorite is a hefty word, so what is a good memory you have from growing up?
Oh ok I remember playing school with my older sister I was good at math back then too So she gave me a math problem 99 + 99 and she freaked out when I got the answer right away. I reasoned 99 was 1 less than 100 So i took 2 hundred and subtracted two ones, or just counted down two. I would get play money for answering questions correctly. She was the teacher and I was the student. It was really fin. Fun, as a kid at least. I have lots of interesting memories from my childhood. What about you?
That sounds awesome! That is impressive reasoning, when I was little my sister had just learned about multiplying by 0 always equals 0 and she came home and quized me on it. I remember being so confused But another good memory was from when I lived in Alabama We had a 3 story tree house, it had a rope swing, and then I would go to the top and from there I could reach over and grab honey suckles
Well it is like saying that each year you will eat 0 apples and it has been 0 years so how many apples have you eaten?
I would sit there forever and taste the sweet nector, it was always so pretty out
0 apples will still be 0 apples year after year so 0 multiplied by anything is still 0, including 0. But divide by zero and no one knows quite how the rules should work.
Haha that is true, zeros can do weird things in math
How many times can you take 0 from 0 apples? Well if you are taking zero apples, you arent really taking anything so is it even ok to reason like that? What is a honey suckle?
Thats true, its an interesting reasoning question Um its a white or yellow flower that grows in the south.
Yeah. To honeysuckle, or not to honeysuckle. That is the real question. And you ate it?!
It has a little nector in the flower stem so if you pull it off you can taste it You just taste it
Ohhh What do you think will cause the end of humanity? If it isnt the second coming of course.
War, nuclear weapons Most likely in my opinion it will just all end badly
Oh wow. Well that would be terrible.
It really would be, it would be a terrible way to go
I hope that the world doesnt erupt into war
Yeah.. .lets hope so
Yeah. Luckily we are developing ballistic defenses to take down nukes. But what is someone snuck to the shore and lifted a giant nuke into a truck, then drove the truck to washington. Then they detonated it. They would just need someone on the inside and we would be done for.
That would be a terrible disaster That would be hard to imagine
Yeah it would. No one would know who had launched the attack. It would be horrible. So lets hope we have better border security than that.
Yeah
Are you into social media at all?
I use instagram, and occasionally facebook
Oh ok. I am not big on social media. I don't understand the appeal.
Its nice to keep up with people who are far away. And to have easy ways to communicate with them.
Yeah. I mean I use it, but mainly so I have a way to keep in touch when people move and when life gets crazy Cause otherwise we would lose contact
I also use it for advertising, since I do photography its easy to show what I can do
Oh, you are into photography? What do you take picture of usually?
I usually take pictures of people but usually outside not in a studio
Oh ok. Are you paid to do it?
For big events yeah, like weddings or engagements. But I also do it a lot for fun with friends
Thats so cool. I don't have anyway to really earn money. I tried joyrun, but it is hard to match up with people at the right time. I like taking good photos, but I am not necessarily a photographer. I just use my iphone for pictures. I
What is joyrun? Really any camera now can get great photos. I really like the camera quality of the phone cameras today
Yeah me too. Joy run is kind of like uber eats It matches people who want food to people who are willing do deliver it You deliver and they can pay on the app for the food and give you a tip if they choose to.
Oh that is way cool, I havent heard about that at all, it is a really good idea
It can be 10-15 dollars an hour if you are decent at it, but weird hours. If you could send a text message to the entire world right now what would you say?
Probably a scripture, I am not sure which one. Or just a really uplifting quote
Thats inspiring
Thanks! I like helping other people out And I really think one good message can turn a day around
Thats true. I think a genuine smile can do the same thing
Oh definitely
Mostly people seem to keep to themselves and it is sad. I like to break barriers.
I always try to walk around without headphones in, and I am working on smiling at more people. Though whenever I actually do they never look at me
Sad
Yeah, but I often have my head down so I cant blame them But I am getting better!
I try not to ever use headphones But I broke my rule this semester for a day or two because I had a weeklong onsession with the greatest showman. It has warn off since then. I am getting my hair cut today. How often do you cut yours?
Yeah, if I was walking home really late and it was a ruff day I would keep headphones in. I figured I didnt really want to talk to anyone after midnight I get mine cut every month or so
Hey i am getting my haircut now, nice talking!
Have fun!
