Hello?
Hey!
Haha, we meet again. How're you today?
I'm doing pretty good, trying to get a million points before 2 o clock
Haha, I know right? At least there's more than one prize.
Yeah I wouldn't be able to compete with the crazies in the top 3 haha
I talked with the top one and he literally just spent an entire week on there b/c he didn't have work. In my head, I was still thinking "how do you have the time"?
Haha yeah I JUST found out he was the top one and I was like crap I've been helping him get better this whole time when I wanted to get better haha Yeah it's wild how much time people devote to this. I guess it's good for the chat bot they're trying to make
Haha, well that's unfortunate. I would love to be the person who reads all the conversations.
Haha I spent like 30 minutes talking about blisters with someone last night I'm sure that was a treat to read
Well, they told us to act/talk natural. This is what they got. I talked to someone this morning about lawn mowers.
Hahahaha for how long?
...15, 20 minutes? He was going on about he had to mow a giant lawn for a job, and then fixed the guy's riding lawn mower and that lost him the job b/c he wasn't needed to mow
Haha aww thats so sad
Yeah. Highly unfortunate. Do you think they'll pull this chat down once the 16th passes?
Haha yeah probably. But I hope they don't. It's really fun
Yeah, I hope they don't too. It's a nice way to talk to new people that you may possibly meet and you know that it's going to be a clean chat.
Yeah for sure And everyone on here is so nice
Right? Or, at least the ones that I've talked to. As my friend put it: "It's like a Mormon chatroom!"
Hahaha very true Do you have any plans for today, or this weekend?
Hm, well today I have writing club after school and then there's mutual tonight.
Oh cool do you know what you're doing for mutual?
Sorry. The Internet kind of shut down. It's a joint activity, and we're doing gospel/mormon parodies
Hahaha that sounds like so much fun!
I'm really excited. My friend and I have had that idea brewing ever since we kind of stumbled upon the phrase Final Restoration and thought it would be great to put it to the Final Countdown
Hahahaha I love that
Yep. I'm a little scared at what the deacons/beehives are going to contribute. They're great, but a little...unpredictable. What about you? Anything exciting for today/rest of the week?
Haha yeah I've got seminary graduation
Oh yeah! Are you giving a talk or anything
Oh and I also have a date this Friday and 2 birthday partys this week
*gasp* You have a date? What're you doing?
Haha it's the most social events I've been invited to like all year
Are you excited?
We're going to this place called organ stop pizza where they have this ENORMOUS organ and it fills the entire restaurant and they have organists come and play all these crazy Songs And then afterwards we're going to a surprise party for a mutual friend haha Yeah I'm really excited. He's pretty cute. He's got this cute half smile smirk thing that he does and he's really sweet.
Holy guac, the restaurant sounds amazing! And so does your date. :) How long have you known him?
Haha it kinda stinks because he was about to go to summer term before his mission and I think he decided to not go and just work through the summer Oh and his sister has the same name as me so I don't think it would ever work. It's already super confusing I've known him for about 6 months But this is our first time hanging out Like I've known OF him but I haven't really gotten the chance to know him, ya know?
Haha, gottcha. Boy, not going to summer term? Well, he's got to pay for his mission somehow.
Haha yeah but his parents are really well off so I don't know what the deal is. I'll convince him to come and you can meet him hahaha Do you go on dates?
Yes! And then I can tell him that he needs to get some priorities straight.
Haha yes
Well...let's put it this way. I was very anti-boy when I was in middle school for whatever reason, and that didn't really translate well into high school. So by the time I figured out that hey, I should probably have some guy friends, people already knew me as "that girl who doesn't like guys" which is completely false, I just don't show it as much as some hyper active girls at my school Literally my first date, was to senior prom. And that was just as friends. Haha, because I managed to make guy friends this year.
Haha well that's awesome I'm proud of toy You
*wipes tear* Thank you Have you been on many?
Hahaha I've never really hated boys but I'm just that sisterish friend that nobody wants to date And I'm also six feet tall And immensely talented in many areas so that probably affects it too And I want to be a doctor So I'm scary but in a good way
Haha, so if I stood next to you, I would be the one asking how the weather is up there.
Hahaha yeah I get that a lot
Ah, that's rough. Is this boy also talented? No, more important question: how tall is he?
Haha he plays volleyball better than me and he's like 6'3" haha But I suuuuuucck at volleyball so that threshold isn't too hard to pass But I'm talented in weird things I can lick my nose
I've always wanted to be able to do that.
I can play the piano And do the worm
YES!!!
AND juggle
Double YEES Triple YEEES!
Hahahaha thanks I'm pretty satisfied with where I'm at in life I feel so bad for all these guys who COULD be dating this super rad superstar but alas, they feel insufficient I don't actually have any evidence, I might just be ugly lol
I would definitely be happy at that point. Yes, what is wrong with these guys? Your date must be the rare breed that can see talent. Shame on the rest of them.
Haha I actually asked him haha
Ah, but he said yes.
I've been asked on like 3 dates and been on 25ish So my stats are good Ish
Yeah, that would put on the board.
Haha I never know if they're just being nice or actually want to go with me
As my mom would say: "Such is the dating game"
And such is the great tragedy of my life
Eh, don't worry. You're ahead in the game, as opposed to others, like my sad socially awkward self.
*hipster sigh*
You don't want to be ahead in the game? Or was that disappointment in my sad socially awkward self?
Haha nah it makes me seem jaded and mean when I say that high school romantic relationships are 100% garbage and that they never last and it's completely pointless so you migh T as well meet as many people as possible And learn about yourseld Yourself
I am 100% agreeing with you. No judging, but my favorite school holiday is Valentine's Day b/c I get to watch couples spend a hecking lot of money and then break up soon after Learning about yourself is important before you learn someone else's life story
YES. FILL UP YOUR CUP BEFORE YOU USE YOUR CUP TO FILL OTHERS IT JUST MAKES SENSE Haha yeah I know someone whos girlfriend broke up with him literally 2 days before and he had all this stuff he was going to give her And I was just internally laughing the whole time I felt supremely evil
Don't you just love feeling supremely evil? Huh, I like that cup metaphor. I gotta use that somewhere.
Haha only if I know I know better than other people Yeah the sister missionaries told me about it But they were referring to scripture study in the morning haha
Sign of a great mind: translating gospel advice to real life situations. Do you plan on going on a mission?
Yeah I've got to wait until October 2019...
Holy guac ARE YOU AND OCTOBER B-DAY TOO?
Haha yes!
October for the win. And you're on the younger spectrum too!
Yeah did you start school early?
Yeah. They were going to have me take a test to see if I was smart enough, in first grade, then they kind of forgot and I just stayed in the grade.
Haha aw sorry But it sucks because I'm going summer term and I'll be 17 the whole time And this may be a stretch..... But I don't think college guys are super into people who can't even buy fish.... But it's all good, I'm down with being repulsive for a year because I'm going on a mission anyways Do you know if you want to go on a mission?
Can't buy fish?....what? I want to go on a mission, but I'm still a little on the fence. So I'll go to college and think about it before I hit 19
Oh haha you have to be 18 to be able certain species of pet fish So are you turning 19 this fall?
Really? What kind of fish? I wish. It'll be next October. I'll have a whole grandiose year to think about it.
Haha yeah all that time... An eternity... I wish I could go a week after graduation like all these boys I know
I feel like if I were one of them I'd be even more done with school than I am now. Do you know where some of them are going?
Because you learn to work really hard on your mission and everyone comes back and is like college is sooo easy compared to my super hard mission Yeah the guy I'm going on a date with is going to Pennsylvania, Spanish speaking I know someone going to Philippines and another is going to Bolivia I think I don't know about any of my friends from Oregon though.
Hey Pennsylvania! I could hop the border and grill him for you!
Hahaha ok sounds good
Phillipines! We have a couple people in my branch who served there, and they just got a temple Bolivia sounds cool, haven't met anyone who served there yet.
Haha yeah we have so many seminary students at my school and they're all going so many different places it's cool
Because you're in...AZ? Right...?
Haha yeah My school is the biggest feeder school to byu outside of Utah Like q,wp Whoops 1,200 seminary students Which was absolutely insane coming from Oregon where we had 45 and that was HUGE for the area
HOLY GUAC! WHAT EVEN?!?!?! 1200? How many kids are in your grade? Wow, even 45 is large. Super large. We have...5 at our school. Oh wonderful early morning seminary
770 is my graduating class It's craaazy
Wow. And I thought my class was big. Graduation's going to take forever!
And my old schools graduation rate was like 55% and it's in the 90s here Yeah it's going to take SO LONG
You are all geniuses. That will be sweating through the ceremony. Are you at school now?
Haha yeah I just skipped my last class because I'm finished with all my projects for it Now I'm at the church building down the street using the wifi so I can use my laptop, not my phone which is currently dead What kind of classes are you taking right now?
Mrgh, that's so nice that you can just pop into the church straight from school. I'm taking mostly IB classes (Literature, History of the Americas, Computer Science, Biology), AP stats, a guitar class, and gym. My condolences towards your phone. What classes did you take?
Whoah you work so hard haha I'm taking ap macroecon, ap gov, ap lit, and ap bio, and dance, econ, seminary, and student council But I didn't take the ap exam for any of them so I'm just coasting these last few weeks haha my bad I said econ twice I meant clothing.
Ugh, hard work it was. Except for now. Because we're not doing ANYTHING! Student council is a class? They offer dance? And clothing....?
That's the class I skipped. I finished my ridiculous shirt yesterday
Like an FC science class?
No you just sew a bunch of projects Like I made these really cool navy blue and white gingham pants so catch me on campus rockin those babies Haha and our dance program is ama-zing
Wow, I wish we had a clothing option!
I've taken dance for 15 years and I'm still only in the middle class. The people at my school are inhuman
The most we have is the sewing machine in the Makerspace in the school library What kind of dance? Everything?
Yeah a LOT of contemporary and a little bit of ballet and hip hop Oh that's what we work on at schoo school I did almost entirely modern ballet. And I did ballroom for a few years before I moved to az
That's so cool! When you say inhuman...how so? Do you have a lot of pop and lockers? Do you plan on doing dance at BYU?
Haha everyone is just so high achieving. In everything. Like I know a sophomore who just ran a 5:30 mile at state and won her race and I know the best harpist in the state and the valedictorian and these people are just sooo good at what they do I'm thinking I might join the social dance club or something haha or I'll take a dance class in the fall. But I guess theres still time to sign up for classes and I could take a ballroom class if I wanted to for summer
Geez, sophomores. I'm good at sports, but I struggle so hard to run straight miles. Ooh, a harpist, that's cool.
Haha yeah she's the coolest person I know She's in a band with a bunch of other people I know and they aren't that good but its still impressive that they've made a band
I would've been valedictorian if our high schools hadn't been combined, eh, but such is life. Impressive for a harp in a band. Nice!
Agh that is so frustrating. I'm sorry
Yeah, but eh. I have now lost the ability to care about class ranks. One of the many symptoms of senioritis
Haha same
Do you know what other clubs you might join?
Haha I've made a list theres so many Theres a cool prosthetics club I'm interested in Also the skiing/snowboarding one for the fall and winter. I'm taking my skiis and gear with me And some medical volunteering stuff for med school applications
Hm. What do you do in a prosthetics club? Skiing! That's so cool! I really want to learn to snowboar.d
Oh and theres an anti human trafficking club I want to participate in I really don't know what I would do in the prosthetics club haha It just seems really interesting and I want to learn more about it ugh snowboarders *spits*
Good choice. Haha, snowboarders out there got an interesting reputation?
Well My skiis are designed for groomed snow and freaking snowboarders just scoot down the mountain and ruin the snow and expose all these icy patches and its exceedingly frustrating Also getting on and off of lifts with snowboarders SUCKS becauase they have to do this weird limp thing and shimmy along and sometimes fall But I totally support your decision nonetheless haha don't let my biased narrative hold you back from followin those dreams Snowboarding is better than no snow
True true. I went cross country skiing once, which exciting for the first 10 minutes, but also probably the safe choice because I might've died doing any other kind of skiing.
Hahaha yeah I have a friend who literally pizza slices his ENTIRE WAY down the mountain like I'm not sure if he can really turn he just goes for it. I started doing jumps this last time I went skiing and it was sooooo fun I was THIS close to joining the ski team my sophomore year but I didn't and I kinda regret that
If I meet you on campus, you must show me videos of you jumping
Haha funny story So I was skiing with my dad and  I was doing this tree trail jump and I was like hey dad you go ahead on this one and take a video of me and he was taking video and stuff waiting for me to come down and rip it up and his phone dies RIGHT before I did the jump and it was my best one of the day So on the next run I was like hey its ok just use my phone to do it and my phone was at lik e40%
Wow. Talk about bad timing.
and so we did the same thing, he's waiting for me at the jump ready to capture it AND MY PHONE FREAKING DIES RIGHT BEFORE So we were like ok heavenly father must be trying to say something I should probably stop doing jumps for the day haha
Hmm. I think your phone has a dying problem. That's really really horribly bad timing. At least you manged to put a silver lining to it.
Haha yeah so if you meet me, I will have no evidence. I'm a fraud. A fake. No proof of my skillz What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
Oh dear. I never know what to answer for this one... I guess...I licked the bottom of my friend's shoe once on a dare
HAHAHA thats amazing. That IS pretty crazy
Phew I'm glad you don't think it was super nasty I'm sure I've done plenty of other wacko stuff, but I can't think of anything else
Haha I've done so much gross stuff its hard to determine the alpha experience
Ooh do tell
I ate a freeze dried meal worm the other day for NO REASON. I also ate a lego And a penny And not when I was like 2 like everyone else this was ALL WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS ON PURPOSE
I applaud you I've always wanted to try a worm/insect Though why did you have freeze dired worms?
Haha they were for my cousin's hedgehog, amadeus They kinda tasted like beef jerky. Kinda smokey
His name is Amadeus. That is amazing. Smoky huh? I should go buy some now I like smoky flavors
Haha yes he's precious. Haha yeah and crunchy. I'd probably do it again
