Hello!
Hi!
How are you doing
Pretty good You?
Also pretty good. I haven't gotten ready for the day yet haha
Jealous! I just got done with work
So do you have the rest of the day free?
Yes!! It's great
That's wonderful. I guess there's only like a day or two left for the challenge What's your goal to end up with?
I don't really have one. Just as far as I can get Do you have one?
Goal is to get 5th I think haha
Nice! Are you close?
I've got a bit to go I think it may only be doable if I can like share long stories haha
Okay Do you want to share one with me? I've helped the number two guy do that
Haha sure that would be great!
Alright. Shoot
Adam told you what kind of stories? I just have to think. Like I'm not good at fiction and coming up with random stuff
Like I suggested an embarrassing moment. But, he couldn't bring himself to share it It just ended up being chatting
Ahh haha alright. Well I can give a little summary of my life I guess
Okay
That could take up quite a bit I think Alright here goes So I was born and raised in St. George, Utah. I only moved once across town when I was like 7 and going into second grade. We moved into a much nicer house The only other move I've made is going to college so that was something that was different for me. I'm the oldest out of 4 children When I was younger I did quite a few things, such as gymnastics, tennis lessons, and soccer. I also got into piano lessons and dance In elementary school and middle school there were four of us friends that were really close. I though it was really cool because between the four of us there was somewhat of a pattern between our birthday dates I had one friend whose birthday was on April 29th, one on May 28th (which is also the same as my brother's birthday), and then July 9th and mine is August 8th I also remember creating videos with like webkinz haha. Did you ever have webkinz?
I had one. A purple dragon How many did you have?
Haha nice. I had quite a few. I know I had a large leopard and a smaller leopard. As well as an elephant, a black poodle, an arctic fox, and a normal red fox And a labrador
So were you one of those obsessed children with them?
And a cat Haha I mean I don't think I was totally obsessed but maybe pretty close
Cool You can continue (sorry for the questions)
No this is good haha I started it. You know what else I really loved? Tamagotchi's! I had probably 4-6 of them
What are those?
Oh my goodness you don't know?!
Nope Or may be I just don't know them by the name
Dang. Well, they were little electronic devices where you took care of like a little virtual animal thing. I guess maybe you could relate it to pokemon
Ohhhhh! Now I do I had a littlest pet shop one
Ohh yeah. I think those were a little different but definitely the same idea. They were like $15 or something weren't they? Back in the day when we had those instead of cell phones haha
Maybe... Yeah haha
I wonder if they are even like still sold haha
Probably not
I looked it up apparently target is selling them
Really? Do you remember the bakugon things?
Were those the like tops?
You throw them on their cards and the ball pops open to reveal an animal
Oh yeah! they were balls, like transformers kinda right?
Yep. All the boys at my school were into them
Oh my goodness this is making me miss my childhood Now all kids play with is their phones basically Quite sad if you think about it
I know. It feels like yesterday but it was years ago I had a club house in the woods No phone
A club house like that you built? Like a tree house?
More like a fort out of sticks
Gotcha Hmm what were some other toys Barbies I guess, littlest pet shops we kinda already mentioned
The paper stars Or claws
Oh yeah
I never learned how to make them
There were those little bracelets that were in the shapes of like animals that was a big thing for a while as well
Yeah. There was always that one kid covered from hand to elbow on both arms
It was like a contest to compare how many you had on your arm Haha yess
I can't think of anymore You can keep going with your life story
Okay. That was a fun little reflect back moment :) So there was the four of us. But in high school, one of my friends ended up getting on the dance team, so she was totally busy with that and became close with her dance friends
Awh
My other two friends I started to not exactly feel as comfortable around. They hung out with immature boys and some rather inappropriate jokes I was younger than them, so when they got their licenses and started driving to lunch, because of the rule that you can't drive anyone besides family for 6 months I couldn't g go So we drifted apart that way and I made friends who were a little better influences I think
Good. I've had to do that
Yeah it can be hard. One of the girls I've actually been seeing in my YSA ward so we might actually hang out again sometime this week after like 5 years haha She's waiting for a missionary now and plans on getting married in september
Ooo! Exciting
Alright break from that story now haha. Do you have any good/funny/embarrassing date stories?
So I'm an incoming freshman. I have this odd texting story
Great let's hear it Right so have you dated much?
It was this guy from my stake who was friends with guys at my branch.
I didn't really until I got to college. Just went to a couple of the dances is all
Not really. Only been on dates with this one guy
okay
Our branch is small So, this guy anyway. He waved to me over messenger I waved back to be polite and he struck up a conversation It was okay at first. Than he started mentioning he was going on this camp out. And he talked about pranks that guys do Well, he told me of this one of how they'll steal your clothes in the shower
Mmm Oh gosh
He was like if that happened to him. He'd have to run out in a towel Well, he asked what I would do if I come upon him like that.... I was like go have another guy get you clothes. He said he'd be too embarrassed and just wanted me to get them That I could even get some of my clothes for him I was all like. Nah they won't fit you and they're girl clothes
Hahaha some of the situations guys come up with...
Than he starts talking about maybe him getting a dress. I'm like dude I don't really want to talk about this He kept going. Like would I want to see him in a dress I'm like NO
Strange
It's kept going and going from like mentioning skinny dipping. I tried avoiding him and ended up blocking him He sent me a photo of him in a dress even after that So that's my story
Dang. How long ago was that? He must be one of those guys that just likes to wear dresses... which is weird. Well I tried out the dating app thing for a bit. I think I had a guy send me a picture of him in a dress as well one time
What's with that? I think I might avoid those apps
Yeah...I mean honestly I never really expected to find or get anything from them. But I thought it was kinda fun to chat to people Like this
I think they should keep this up It's really fun
Yeah. Cuz at the end it will be sad to end it and never really know who you were talking to that whole time
I know! I've had a couple guys give me their instas tho
Some people on campus though I know have met up at the library Yeah. I know someone who has gotten user names for things Which if you just say the user name I think it counts as personally identifying information
Maybe they can change the rules after the challenge I asked about the usernames and they said it's fine just not all the time
We shall see haha. I made up a kinda code with someone in order to get their snapchat so it wasn't flat out said haha Which made it fun as well
Oh really? I thought maybe you could like capitalize or add numbers in each bubble
Yeah. I mean he came up with things like half of w not you but... and square root of 9 but in letter form So he was pretty clever
Haha! Those are clever
But there were a couple that were difficult that I didn't quite get So I just started saying things that begun with the letter like jaguar and elephant
Um, what does that mean?
Like jaguar for j
Ohhh I got it
Yeah Want to know one of my dating app stories? Or maybe two haha I've only ever met up with two
Yeah
And they were strange so I was like, "Never again"
These sound like they'll be good
So I mean they were both mormon. The first guy I had had really good conversations with him over the app. And he said his dad worked for BYU. I think his job was like security security guard or something But anyway we decided to meet up on BYU campus So it was like evening and he called me and then we found each other. He said he had something he wanted to show me back in his car
Uh oh
So we walked to his car and sitting in the back seat was a gun.. But then he just kinda jokingly said something like, "I brought this in case you were some creepy person" and in my mind I'm like uhh I'm the girl here!
Hahaha! But really?
So after a while I found out he was just like super into guns and knives and explosions and stuff. He told me about some stuff he had to do for his job And showed me youtube videos of a guy he liked blowing things up He was also SUPER tall
Not too bad now.....?
He was a nice guy. So we did actually meet up a second time But like he just talked the whole time about guns and such which i'm not all that interested in. I don't recall him like even asking me any questions
Oh, so he was looking for someone to share that love of guns
So I'm a pretty good listener, but after a bit of that I just felt frustrated because he never let me speak Yeah. I'm like totally against them really
Not good. I hate when they just go on
So that's the first guy
Is the second worse? Or just funny?
I'll let you be the judge of that haha
Okay
So the second. We talked over the app, got numbers, and even talked on the phone a few times He was like the most...I don't know, energetic person ever. Always super cheerful And over the phone he was funny. But he was doing like army training or was in the army or something
Hmmm
But he was home for a bit last may in salt lake. And i was still at BYU for spring semester So we tried to figure out a time to meet. He loved to play tennis so he wanted to meet up and do that. But he wanted me to drive to salt lake. And I wasn't sure that was the best idea by myself I didn't want to drive up there just for that reason
Odd
But I had a friend from high school, a guy I liked. And he happened to be up one weekend so he took me out on a date. And then the next day was when I was planning on meeting on meeting this other guy So the guy from high school we did a double date with his cousin and did an escape room and went to dinner so it was a lot of fun. Then he invited me to go to the utah hogle zoo the next day with them as well I figured it would make the drive to salt lake worth it if I went to the zoo as well, but wasn't sure how I was gonna fit two dates in haha
Oh, yeah. But good that you got people who go with you
So I drove up with the guy I knew, and then he was kinda asking what i had going on later in salt lake so I sorta told him I had another date And I think he got it out of me that I hadn't met this guy before so it was sorta embarrassing haha
Haha Sounds very good embarrassing
Anyway so after the zoo he left in his cousins car and I went to go meet up with this other guy
(Not good sorry )
We went to a pretty nice park and played tennis for a while and went for a short walk. But it wasn't very long And then after I don't know i guess I got the feeling he didn't like me because he's like, "Well, is there anything else I can do for you?" And acting like he was ready to be done and leave
Really?! Rude
But I was still interested in spending more time with him...so I like asked him a question and we struck up more conversation And then he's just kinda not afraid to say things so he asked me like why I was so quiet because I'm real shy around those I don't know well And he was also telling me a bunch of things about army training and started doing some of the stretch workouts they do And he told me to like be the sergeant and order him around haha
Was that weird that he started doing them for you?
So I kinda did. I like made him run around a tree and back. I don't know, guess he wanted to show his strength haha
Oh, haha
And then he wanted me to like do situps or something and i'm like, eh I'm okay And then later he calmed down and got out of me that I hadn't ever kissed anybody And I told him it's like hard for me to open up Then he like scooted me closer to him and put my arm around his neck and his hand around my waist and asked me if it was weird
Oh, no!
And I was like, um yeah sorta, I mean I only officially met you today And then he like tried to get me to kiss him. I had always kinda had like a fear of kissing haha
It's understandable. Especially in that situation
Yeah. And I'm like uh no this is definitely not happening with some guy who I'm likely to never see again Who I met today But he like pulled me in and I dropped my face like into his chest. And he's like, "You know all you have to do is lift your head" And I was stubborn and wouldn't of course
Good
So yeah. And then it was getting late like dinner time so he asked if I wanted to go get dinner So I said sure so got in his car and went to dinner and then drove back to the park by my car And by that time my phone was almost dead and I didn't have a charger in my car, and I knew I would need it to get back home and find my way out of salt lake haha. So he had a charger in his car. And said we could just sit for a while and listen to music until it was more fully charged
Did he do anything else weird?
So he played some music and started singing along and grabbed my hand and asked it that was weird. And again I was like yeah so sorta But I don't know it in a way it was kinda fun to just get a little more comfortable to sing along haha then finally I'm like alright looks like my phone is good so I can start heading home. I think it was about 10 at night So right before I was about to leave and get out of the car he kinda looked at me and was like, "you know I have to" (As in like kiss you)
Uhhhhh
And I was like no...you don't. See ya haha
Yes! That's great hahaha
Haha so yeah. But like just over texting he was so energetic and stuff like over the top haha
Almost like he was trying to look good
I still don't know what to think of him really I mean we kept texting a bit after that and he acted the same
How long ago was that?
Last may
Fun fun Those were quite some stories Not bad though
yeah. Haha I'm looking back through some of my texts with that guy He's said we totally need to meet up again That was like thanksgiving
Did you just end up ignoring him?
Not really...I don't like to be mean haha And like I said I still don't even know what to thik think Like he was weird but cool If that makes sense
That's good. I've heard of some guys who were just mean
Yeah So there's those stories!
They were good Is it helping your word count?
Word count? I don't even know what that counts. Does it count every single word or just new words?
I don't know. I thought it was counting every word you typed?
Maybe. I mean there's the score and then the number of words and chats and turns So I don't know if all those things matter
Yeah, I haven't really paid attention to all that
yeah. Well my laptop is about to die so I'm thinking I should take a break and get ready haha. Will you still be on? In like a half hour I'll probably be back
Mmm, I don't know Probabaly not though Sorry. It's been fun chatting with you! Good luck on your placement!
Okay no problem. Yeah thanks you as well! Think I'll run into you again and I can go on more on my story haha?
Maybe! Hahaha, if we do you can
