If my computer asked me to not turn it off, I would probably freak out.
Oh hey how are you ember?
Doing pretty decently. You?
i am doing well it is getting late and i am getting a little tired
I feel that. I sort of feel like I've run into a brick wall of energy depletion.
yeah
Which is sort of weird, since I normally stay up much later than this.
yeah me too what is it with today? It must be the position of the moon
What is the position of the moon?
thats a good question but i am sure it has something to do with me being tired right now ok! :)
Ah, gotcha. Waning Gibbous... Energy is Waning... Makes sense to me.
yeah that has to be it if you could travel one place in the world this summer where would you go and why?
So... I would love to go to Scandinavia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark... Also Iceland and England... Because I've always wanted to go to England. But... in reality I am going to North Carolina and Arizona!
do you have family there or is it somewhere you just want to see?
Visiting family.
I have always wanted to go to england
Same! And Ireland.
wait you would go to ireland and not england or do you mean that you would go see them both at the same time?
Both. Definitely both.
i have some irish heritage it would be cool to go there i have always wanted to see the uk they have the best accents in the whole world! Where is the furthest you have gone traveling?
Uh... Well, I served my mission in Sweden. Lived in China and Switzerland for a while with my family.
Oh wow that is really cool
How about you?
I went to sweden for a big scout event once I have also been to spain and canada but that is pretty much it unless you count landing and taking off from denmark when i went to sweden
Really? Where in Sweden? Spain... Ah, I want to go to Spain too... I've heard it's beautiful there.
rinkaby sweden spain is succcchhhh an amazing country
Why were you in Spain?
my sister served her mission there and we had a foreign exchange student we were visiting at the same time so it was like a mission trip and a foreign exchange catch up visit at the same time we got to see all of the really good sights all over the place and we even got to stay at their grandparents hous house it was really fun
Nice, way to kill two mynocks with one blaster shot.
woah wait a second what in the world is a mynock?
Uh... It's a creature in Star Wars. (Empire Strikes Back, the creatures that are living inside the Monster that they fly in to... I'm a bit of a Star Wars nerd)
ohhh that makes more sense i didnt even know what those were called what is your favorite star wars movie?
Ah... I don't know that I have an answer for that. Probably three, four, or six.
wait how are you ordering them?
Prequels are 1-3, Originals are 4-6, and Sequels are 7-9.
oh ok what are the sequels again? i thought there were only 2
There are only two, for now, but there is going to be a third, so that they'll have three trilogies.
oh interesting do you know what is will be called? I havent heard about it at all
No, I haven't heard anything about it either... It should be... interesting.
are you the daring type? like have you ever done anything or gone cliff jumping?
Uh, so I did technically jump off a cliff once. But I have no clue how I got the nerve up to do that, because normally I'm not at ALL daring.
did you die?
Strangely enough, no, I did not. Although that'd be kind of cool. You'd be talking to a ghost if I had.
hahaha sorry bad question i guess cliff jumping gives you so much adrenaline
It was terrifying. I'm NOT a fan of heights. I take it you like it though?
yeah i went once and it was a blast it took me forever to work up the courage to jump though
Where did you go?
i went to a place down by las vegas i dont remember what it is called probably near lake mead that is for certain but not were everyone normally goes boating it was like all off on its own
Huh, I don't really know that area. Is it a place a lot of people go to cliff jump?
umm i don't think so but there is a good amount but i doubt it is famous for cliff jumping are you a swimmer at all?
Not really.
oh do you do any sports?
I've almost drowned too many times. I ran cross country for a while, did Tennis too...
oh my that is really bad
But I'm not super good at that.
did you ever take swimming lessons?
No... It wasn't really a priority in my family.
oh ok we did it in my family which doesnt really make sense considering we lived in a desert but it was a good experience and definitely a good skill to have
Yeah, I wish my family had done it. I don't need to be terrified of the water, but it's kind of too late for that now.
can you swim now?
I can not drown...
well that works i mean that is swimming for the most part :)
This is true.
then you learn to float and then you learn to float and flail and then you start to move and you are swimming voila!
I'm probably actually at the floating and flailing point.
well thats good then you can move just do it for a long time and you will get where you need to go sorry haha
All good!
what is your favorite pastime?
Writing.
wow what drives you to do that? More importantly when did you start and what made you decide to even do it?
I used to think that everyone thought the way that I did. With too many stories and characters taking up all the space in my head... I just really like getting them out on paper.
oh interesting I am the same way but with music not characters
Do you write music?
that is way cooler in my opinion just a bit i wrote a short piece last semester That was before i knew it was ok to copy some of the styles or beat patterns used by other artists
That's way cool. I have always thought people who can write music are super awesome!
so i tried to make it really original
Is it something you are going to keep doing? I imagine that made it difficult.
yeah i will probably keep doing it i want to keep writing that song where i left off
That's way cool.
each time i sit down i get more inspiration and it sounds better and better
You should definitely finish it. That's kind of how it is writing. I love watching my stories develop. It is so satisfying.
the funny thing is that though i can write music, i am still terrible at writing words i got way better at it when i kept all my journals on my mission but i am still not the best at it
So you've got the music, not the lyrics?
i was good enough to get an A in my wrtg 150 class but that took A LOT of effort no no lyrics it is just a piano song
You play piano?
yeah and i sing
So you sing, write music, and play piano.
yeah look at that
That is quite the trifecta.
man of many talents, a jack of all trades what can i say ;) i dont usually do piano that often to be honest it is just every once in a while, but i took lessons like my entire life
That's way cool. My mom taught me the basics growing up, but never very serious lessons.
i bet that was fun, was she a good teacher?
She was very patient.
i like to think i am patient with my siblings when i teach them things
That's always a good skill... I can be super patient with lots of people with most things... But sometimes I'm a little more terse than I should be.
i am really calm
Haha, no one would ever describe me as calm.
really what are you?
Slightly eccentric, a little bit weird, and easily distracted.
oh we are twins! maybe minus the eccentric honestly i have to look that up to see if it really describes me accurately or not
Unconventional and slightly strange.
oh that is just another word for weird then yeah hahaha
