maybe..?
hmmm good question... I would say maybe not. But also I feel like people fall in love while using the computer or smart phones.
yeah this isn't the movie I Robot
Especially with all those dating apps now a days. haha you're right, that was an awesome movie though.
I think in order to express a human emotion you would have to be human
I agree. I think something that plays a big part of that is having a soul and computers don't have that. and probably won't ever have that. I think the artificial intelligence will get super advanced forsure though.
computers will always do what we tell them so they won't love because that's a gratifying feeling for self
True you're right. Computers are just an interesting thing So you got any fun plans for the weekend?
study for my economics midterm on Monday and my sociology on friday I need to get the highest grade possible for sociology
Dang sounds like you got a busy weekend man. I feel ya though I got a big o chem test I need to study for on tuesday.
oof
Why do you need the highest grade possible for the sociology one? Yeah, bro o chem is a real beast h
I've already missed enough assignments due to sleeping in that I basically need to make a good impression I've already lost my chance at getting an A the typical way so what is there to lose now
Oh dang it....make a good impression on the professor?
yeah
Yeah its real easy to miss homework assignments especially if there is a lot of them. Are you trying to get a job with them or a letter of reference or something?
that's the problem there's not a lot of assignments no just want a really good GPA
oh true, GPA is really important. What is your major? oh dang so the test is what you got to do real good on then...
PDBIO yeah...
Nice man, what are you wanting to do with that? How are you feeling for the test pretty good or what/ ?
I feel okay just need to touch up on a couple concepts I've been thinking about the medical field
oh awesome dude, that is what I want to do too! Have you thought about which medical schools you'd like to go to? Dang dude well good luck with the sociology test! What about your economics test how are you feeling for that?
I would love to go abroad but the problem there is funding a way to be licensed in the states
I took economics my junior year of high school and it counted for college credit so i lucked out there.
economics.....not as good. there's a lot of information that I need to get through that must have been nice
Oh true that, I'm not sure about the international thing...do you know if an M.D. is recognized worldwide? And yeah economics was probably my least favorite class I took that semester...so confusing for me at least
MD is recognized internationally (as far as I know) especially if you attend a notable school but the license is what really matters...it differs from state to state
Oh man, so I guess it just depends on the state if they'll license you if you study internationally. Have you thought about what kind of doctor you would like to be?
yeah it's bit of a toss up anesthesiology
Dang dude thats confusing. I'm sure you'll figure it out! Nice, what makes you want to do that?
well obviously knock people out so they can't feel anything when they are being operated on and try not to kill/paralyze them
Well yeah, does that just sound fun to you or something? haha The anesthesiologists that I met with when I had surgery were all pretty funny.
not fun but it pays very very well yeah they try to be
Yeah it does! haha thats a good reason to do it.
they don't wait you to be afraid as it makes everything harder
Yeah he came up to me and was like I'm gonna give you what I like to call a margarita then he stuck this thing in my IV and I woke up in the bed like a couple hours later.
haha
I have this picture with him that I don't even remember taking, that stuff they give you is pretty crazy
is it strange that I am afraid to be operated on but watching surgery doesn't bother me? now that's just getting a bit weird maybe you weren't fully awake yet
haha thats pretty funny, I guess its different watching it happen to someone else. But I mean the thought of someone cutting you open and fixing things is pretty uncomfortable Yeah, It was when I was in the wheel chair though before I had the surgery so I don't even know. I I'm okay with getting operated on if I'm put out, but being awake for minor surgeries is the worst.
like C sections that must be somewhat traumatizing for new mothers
dude i've never seen a c section but it doesn't sound fun at all. I don't know how moms do that....they are ballers for that
it's pretty gross if you are squeamish
I had a little operation on my hand  while I was awake and it was probably the worst thing ever.
they give local anesthesia and put up a divider so the mother can't see her stomach being opened that's intense
Yeah I don't know how squeamish I am I've never watched  a C section...guess I'll just have to watch and see haha
hand surgery is super precise
Yeah he made a cut probably about half an inch and then pulled out a cyst It was weird cause I could feel him tugging on things and hear it all....it was nasty
oof again
Yeah it sucked haha So are you working right now or just going to school?
yeah you don't want to mess up on hand surgery I'm on my bed just on my computer
Yeah it was over seas too so a  little sketchy Nice dude, do you have a job? Or just doing school full time?
I am going to school full time I just don't have classes on Fridays I don't have a job yet but I want to work at the testing center minimal human contact
hahah thats the funniest thing I've ever heard! Do you not like dealing with people? Nice dude lucky you, its way nice to have fridays off. Three day weekend every week!
it's so nice
Dude if you don't want to interact with people you could work at papa johns in the back making pizzas. Thats what I did for a semester it was pretty fun.
true true right now I could go for some pizza or chick fil a but that would require leaving my dorm so...
Dude the struggle is real hahah Are you at heritage? I stayed there a couple semesters ago it was pretty nice ! Bro, I just had a salad from cafe rio it was way good! Definitely hit the spot hahaa
I'm at Helaman I wish it was heritage I'm in the newest building  - B9
Oh nice dude that is awesome! I've never been to Helaman before but I've heard its pretty nice! I heard you have to have a meal plan if you stay there?
yeah a meal plan is required so all our meals are essentially not-that-bad
Well thats nice. I've eaten at the canon center a couple times they have a nice buffet style kind of place. Food is pretty good too. I feel like if I had a meal plan I'd get fat so easily since you can eat as much as you want haha
sometimes you luck out the food can be really good or just plan nasty all of it is fried
Do you only get to eat at the canon center or do you also get to use your card at like vending machines and chick fil a and stuff?
all the above!
Dude thats nasty, I can only handle so much fried stuff before I start feeling like a tub of butter
it's all on your meal plan
That's awesome! Sounds like that's the way to go!
I might make a pilgrimage to chick fil a today
Dude you gotta do it! Chick fil a is soooo good! I always get two chicken sandwiches and a fries when I go. Sometimes even a milkshake if I'm feeling adventurous haha
I always get the original sandwich, who is healthy enough to get it grilled? and I always ask for extra pickles once I only got one pickle slice ONE
Dude I don't even think I've tried anything grilled from chick fil a.... the original sandwich is the best! haha oh man. Dude you're gonna hate me but I'm not the biggest fan of the pickle. I always pick them off and throw them away or ask for no pickles. haha What kind of sauce do you use?
well then you're a good fit for the chickfila at BYU
haha ture
I get the honey one
true
and ranch
Honey mustard? Classic. Ranch is pretty good too. Do you like the chick fil a sauce?
but the waffle fries start to taste funny once they go cold
That one is by far my favorite. I agree they get a little card board like
I've never tried the chick fil a sauce! what is it??
I have to say my favorite fries are for sure from in n out WHAT?! You've never tried chick fil a sauce? Have you heard of it?
yeah I've never had it! probably heard of it what is it? I'm super interested now
You're kidding me! That's it dude you have to go to chick fil a today, get a sandwich and ask for the chick fil a sauce haha Its like this mix of honey mustard, BBQ, and ranch....its not like a nasty flavor its just like yummy I don't even know how to describe it.
sounds almost religious
I'd say it takes the best flavors from the honey mustard, ranch, and bbq and makes it into one delicious sauce. Dude once you go chick fil a sauce you never go back. I don't ever get anything else now haha It's like once you know its true and good you can't deny it
I'll try it when does chick fil a close though
you'll love it! I think it closes at like 7 or 8 maybe at the wilkinson.
then it'll be good
I know when I worked a papa johns there we closed at 8
can't wait that's fairly late
I'm so excited for you haha Yeah its pretty late for on campus!
I still need to get my academic act together I'm so behind in every class I basically relying on pure memory
Dang man you got it! How long have you been at BYU for now? I feel like in high school I just got by by showing up to class and doing my homework when I was supposed to and I made it through just fine. College though is something else. I feel like its a big slap to the face haha It was for me at least
I've only been at BYU since August I went to education week and late summer honors before fall semester started
Hey dude I got to go for a little bit I can stay on the chat if you want to keep chatting but if you need to go do stuff then thats cool too! And nice man, BYU is pretty fun! I've really liked it here so far!
yeah I can totally do that! plus we get more points the longer the chat is on so it's gucci
nice dude! I'm at work right now and run these little groups before they start their shift So I have to do that every hour! sick dude! I didn't know you get more points for longer chats, I thought you just get more points for more words
yeah you get points for length of chats and word usage and also ratings the other person gives you
OH man thats way sick dude! I will for sure give you a good rating then! I feel like some chats I've had in the past people have been super boring That or they just don't ever reply
yeah I have had a couple of those
those are the worst
they just want an iPad without working for it XD
haha seriously! That's what we are all here for is the free ipad! I feel like the time i spend on the chat I could have made enough money to buy an ipad
this is our last chance!! true though
but I'm too cheap to pay for one
but at least you are supporting science same though plus I dont have a job
YES! last chance! True and true. Support science by chatting and winning free stuff hopefully! Did you make it in the raffle for the macbook? I wouldn't mind winning that one either
I think I made one ticket
dude there were some people on here religiously its nuts
but I though you needed 300,000 to qualify but the email they sent out said 400,000 that's going to be me hopefully
oh darn, last round I got up to like 1.4 million but this other dude was already at like 3 million and i wasn't motivated enough to try to catch up
yeah same
I just quit after that
but we're both here on the first day of the last round so we can do it
yeah so hopefully it'll be me or  you dude!
hopefully!
okay heres a good conversation starter what is the weirdest dream you've had?
hmm.... a bunch of friends of mine and I were in a large white room with metal panels
yeah i'm gonna have to think about it as well what were  you guys doing in the room and what were the panels for? haha
there was dark brown/green toxic waste all over the bottom of the room, so imagine the viscosity of tomato sauce
oh nice classic
like a pool of toxic waste that spread from every wall and we were standing on planks or something and I tried to jump and missed and landed in the waste yep happy ending right there
Dang that sounds nasty man, I feel like dreams are always so much more intense and scary when they happen. Sometimes I wake up sweating or twitching
sweating? yes twitching?? jeez though are some intense dreams
Yeah dude I'll like twitch unconsciously sometimes. Well at least that's what my wife tells me haha
oh yeah I forgot people are married here like students XD
I remember the craziest dream I had was I was fishing in this river and I was catching farm cows instead of fish
the heck?
got pulled in the river and woke up shivering even though I wasn't even wet haha
I don't know maybe some cows like water
Yeah dude it was way weird. Yeah people get married left and right here haha
BYU I do
you're right! like the manatee I think its nick name is the sea cow haha Seriously though
it is a sea cow
I guess its just the culture, because of all my high school friends only one is married. Dude I wonder if they are friendly?
that makes sense BYU people get married really young for society today
yeah, I think its the place where people get married the youngest for sure! I'm from Texas and all my friends that have already graduated college and are doing grad school still aren't married yet.
my mom just finished her freshman year when see was married
I guess it makes sense that people would want to have a steady career and be doing what they want to do before they get married.
yeah I would get that
Oh man thats pretty crazy!
it would be hard rising a family and going to school especially grad school
I got married like after a year of college So probably the same as your mom haha But I did go on a mission before so not crazy young but still pretty young
yep she was 19 for 2 months true
dang dude!
my dad went on a mission so he was 21 when he married my mom
Nice dude at least your parents are young and not old and broken haha Some of my friends back home their parents are super old
yeah I'm their third so yeah my friend's dad is like 65 or something
Dang that is just crazy!
yeah he has three kids and the oldest in like 20
Like I don't want to have kids right now, but I also don't want to be an old fart and have young kids and not be able to do fun things with them
he had his first kid at 40 true true
Man that is crazy! Are you from utah?
haha no thank goodness I'm from LA more like a suburb of LA
Nice! Do you like it over there?
I LOVE IT the weather is awesome I miss the beach
Are you big into surfing or anything like that? I love the beach. Probably my favorite vaction kind of spot
no I never really got into surfing
Just chillin on the beach? \
but I love to swim and hang out at the beach yep
That sounds like the life.
teenagers from southern CA do that all the time
I'm kind of glad I'm not near a beach right now or else I'd probably spend all my time there instead of trying to focus in school
true school comes first
Sounds like the good life to me.
it's expensive though my parents definitely pay for it
Yup. I'll stick it out and grind at school so I can enjoy that kind of life later when I'm old haha Yeah cost of living in California is pretty high! What does your dad do for work?
he's a software engineer for a chemical safety company
Oh nice thats pretty cool! What exactly do they do? just like program software?
he's a software tester to be exact he finds what is wrong with it and sends it back with suggested improvements he's a perfectionist for sure
Oh nice sounds like a fun job and if he's a perfectionist that even better he must be pretty good at it!
he likes his job most of the time
Kind of different from the medical field what makes you want to do that?
1. money
Thats awesome dude, my dad works for bell helicopter.
2. helping others
same and same for me dude.
just really want a nice house in so cal so gotta work
but I've found as i've taken more and more of the science courses they are super interesting. Like I don't think I could do something like software or business they just seem too boring for me
business seems boring it's just maximize profits
Dude you should go be a plastic surgeon in beverly hills or something
and law is just anger
You'd be making TONS of money
I've thought about it XD
Yeah I'm not very good at arguing with people especially If I don't really care so Law isn't for me either
working on celebrities and stuff yeah same
Or like a private primary care phsician for celebs that'll make you lots of money too! And you can be friends with all those people if you want that. They can be crazy someitmes
then again I could possibly end up giving bowling ball breast implants to Nicki Minaj
hahahahahahaahahahahahaha
I dont know If that would be worth the money
Yeah you could quite possibly be doing that, or booty lifts
well if it's 600K yeah boi hahahahah
Yeah haha I don't know if I'd want to be a part of that, I'd forsure do it for 600k But I feel like I could do a different field of medicine that actually helps people and makes just the same hahaha
just focus on my Maserati  in the parking lot
Maserati nice choice dude! Sometimes I go up to the country club to swim and there are a bunch of those always parked outside! Dude i'd be down to get a BMW i8 those are pretty sweet! Or if I'm really ballin in the future I wouldn't mind a roll royce either Or just get a big truck and a sweet ducati
you get to the point where you could afford any car you want eh I wouldn't get a truck - personal preference but whatever floats your boat
Yeah after 10+ years of schooling and tons of debt I'll be there someday. you too!
haha hopefully!
Yeah I've always liked trucks plus I think it would be fun to get into offroading and hunting! So a truck would be great for that
then you could buy an iPad after 2 hours of work! I've never really been an outdoorsy type but hiking and of course the beach is awesome
haha Yeah hopefully! I'm just hoping I'll win this one and then that'll work for a few years until they come out with a new one Yeah I Yeah i'm not like a crazy out doors person but I do enjoy taking cars and driving through the woods and over things its pretty fun!
have you ever been to Lake Tahoe?
No where is that?
you know the shape of Nevada?
yeah!
the point on the left that fits into California? it's right there the point is in Lake Tahoe
OH yeah! I just googled it haha!
so about 1/2 of Tahoe is CA and the other 1/2 is Nevada yep!
That place looks so pretty! the water is so clear and blue!
my family used to go there a lot when I was younger the water comes from snowmelt, I think
Dang so I'm guessing it must be freezing cold, did you ever swim in it?
during the summer the top part of the lake warms up and it's not super high in elevation...you can look up what's the difference between that and Provo it's always a bit cold but it's beautiful in the summer with the mountains and pine tress
Yeah looks like somewhere I need to visit some time soon !
you totally should! I would recommend sand harbor but it can get crowded sometimes. it's a rather large lake and you can find secret hidden beaches right off the highway if you would like some privacy
Yeah I imagine all the popular places can get pretty crowded. Its always nice when you can find somewhere like that and get a nice secluded spot to youself. Have you ever been to Hawaii?
I have!
There are TONS of spots that you can do that at just drive off the side of the road and enjoy a nice little private beach to yourself! Its great!
I've been to Maui
Nice, which Island did you go to? Oh Maui nice! I've never been to that one, but I always go to Oahu!
Oahu is the busy resort one my grandparents have a timeshare on Maui and it's much less busy
Yeah it is, its where all the tourists go! Oh nice dude, never been to Maui but it sounds really nice !
there's a funny story about maui.  there's one airport with one terminal (expected) but to get to the rest of the island you have to take a really long road that goes out of your way.  well, Oprah came to maui and didn't like that so she bought land and made her own road.
What the heck thats so ridiculous. I wish I was that rich that If I didn't like something I could just buy it and fix it to the way that i did haha. Yeah Maui seems a little more county
I've also heard that the Hawaiian islands have almost all the climates in the world except the arctic or something yeah it is more rural in a way more sugar cane
Dang yeah, I went to Hawaii in December and it was still hot enough to go out and swim haha! Thats nice, I'
it's wonderful
I'm not the biggest fan of winter. But I do enjoy some cool weather every once in a while
true
Yeah like small town dirt roads. It seems like a nice break from the hectic city
being from California I never got snow where I lived so snow was very much a novelty too much commotion in the city sometimes
Yeah that is forsure too much! I don't think I'd like to live in the city. I lived in Taipei for a while, like right in the heart of the city and there is so much pollution and noise it kind of drives you crazy. But it is really fun being in the middle of all the commotion honestly.
Taiwan? that's awesome!!
Yeah there isn't much snow in Texas either so I was pretty excited to run around and play in it for a while, until it gets all wet and brown. Thats the kind of snow you don't want haha.
sludge nope not for me
Yeah Taiwan! Its one of the coolest places ever!
why did you live there?
I did a mission for the church over there! So i've been all over the place in Taiwan!
that's so cool! I can't wait for my mission
Yeah it was awesome, so many cool experiences and so many cool people that you meet! Yeah you'll love it! When do you plan on going?
I have a feeling I'm going to go to Russia I don't know when just yet
ooh Russia. Cold! Yeah no worries man I think its best to just go when you feel like is the right time
that's what I've heard
Yeah, but when you go it'll be totally worth it!
I've also heard that! one of my friends is actually on a mission originally to Nicaragua but now to Honduras
Oh no way?! thats interesting why did they get switched up?
some riots are something?
Was it because of a visa problem
no not that
oh riots?! I've never heard that before. Thats crazy!
there's always problems in nicaragua not a big change though not like from that to Finland
Oh yeah just somewhere close by. Thats still pretty awesome place to be honduras I work with this guy from Honduras and he's the nicest dude ever! Always brings me snacks and stuff! haha I can't really understand what he is saying half of the time but he is awesome!
some accents are pretty intense, let me tell you that
hahah that is so true!
there's a lot of first generation people of latino/hispanic descent in southern CA
oh nice man! lots of culture in california too! Hey I gotta run and do something real quick I'll be back in a little bit!
they don't have an accent but they know two languages perfectly and I'm just jealous okay!
Yeah its so crazy to know two different languages. Especailly if you're immersed in it your brain starts to think in that language If you could learn any language in the world which one?
finnish because it's the hardest language to learn according to people or Latin I would love to learn Latin - in law and medicine
Dang never even thought of finnish haha I think latin would be super useful! like you said for medicine and understanding some of that stuff.
of course
I think I'd want to learn spanish since so many people speak it I think it would be a great asset to talking with and helping all kinds of people. Also it opens lots of opportunities for different jobs
Spanish isn't too difficult
Do you speak spanish?
anyone could get a handle on it I don't but I speak a little French
I feel like the kids that go on spanish speaking missions always come back knowing spanish really well. Oh nice french...good love language right there! I bet you could swoon lots of girls with that! haha
I suppose so
haha or maybe its just in the movies You got a favorite movie?
I really like Casablanca
Dude, I've heard of that movie but I've never seen it
it's a classic
I'll have to watch it! What is it about?
the protagonist was born in the 1800s
Like the actor or the actual person the movie is about
WW2 france is overtaken by Nazis
Seems like it would be a really good one! Is it a pretty old movie?
it takes place in Casablanca, Morocco where two people who used to date or whatever see each other again it is rather old black and white but a goodie
Oh dang dude! I haven't seen a black and white movie in a long time! Seems like it would have a really good storyline, the classic films always get pretty high ratings from all the movie critics. Have you ever seen Nacho Libre? That's probably my favorite movie of all time hahaa
I haven't! I'll look it up
Aw dude! Its a modern classic its got jack black in it ahah
what the heck? it looks hilarious!
if you like funny goofy movies you'd like this one! Its kind of like that napolean dynamite vibe Dude its the funniest movie ever!
you've seen monty python and the holy grail, right?
Yeah, that one is a classic too! so funny
I quote that movie on a daily basis
haha I've only seen it once, but I quote nacho libre pretty often too!
what in the world would we do without movie quotes!
I don't know. If you think about it movies are so weird. Its like some person has this idea of a story and they find people to act it out for them and they film it. And then we pay money to watch other people do things we wish we could do on a big screen! haha But there can be some pretty inspiring movies sometimes.
even comedic movies can have good morals
Ture. True,
at least most of the time
nacho libre teaches us to follow our dreams no matter how crazy and no matter what anyone thinks of us.
haha sounds interesting
Basically he is this monk for the catholic church that wants to be a pro wrestler hahah its awesome
woah sounds fun
Yeah bro its a good movie! How is studying going? Hey I can probably chat for like another 20 minutes and then I'm gonna take a little break for like 20 min. So if you want to stay on the chat you can but if you want to get off then that is cool too! I'll probably leave around 6 and then get back on later.
we could just leave the chat on no big deal extra points I suppose
alright sounds good to me bro! How long are you planning on being on the chat?
for however long it takes to get an iPad XD probably until you're done
hahah We'll have to be on here all night then to win the iPad! just kidding I don't want to spend the whole evening on here. But sounds good dude! We will have definitely racked up some points by the time were done!
sounds good
Okay dude let see What is the craziest thing you have ever done/
I lit my house on fire
I'd have to say the craziest thing I ever did was my freshman year of high school. I got together with one of my buddies and lit this toilet in the park on fire and it caused
when I was 7 years old
a huge mess. hahahaha no way dude?! What did you do?
haha beat ya
Dang house is bigger than toilet you win.
I threw a sweater on an 80's halogen lightbulb lamp
How did it happen? And did it like completely burn you house down?
no
Dang bro....that wool sweater haha
only a piece of the carpet
Not to bad, were your parents pretty mad at you?
my older brother who was a scout at the time put it out not really that I remember
Lucky you dude! haha I guess boy scouts do teach you some useful things.
I guess they actually do haha
haha I did not enjoy boy scouts at all. I felt like it was pretty forced for me. h So do you have any hobbies or play any sports things like that?
I play piano and viola I'm in the symphony orchestra
Oh nice dude how long have you been doing that? The symphony orchestra at BYU?
since 9th grade yeah the one at byu
thats pretty awesome dude! This might be a dumb question but does the symphony orchestra play at the football games and stuff? I played the euphonium and trumpet in 6 and 7th grade and then I didn't like it anymore so I quit
the symphony orchestra does not play at football games since it is made up of band and orchestra instruments like cellos who need to sit down and stuff
Oh i guess that makes sense haha
so no plus it's all classical music you're thinking of marching band, right?
Oh nice dude so do you enjoy listening to classical music too? yeah thats what it is the marching band!
yeah I primarily listen to classical
They got like the drums and trumpets and things like that. Nice dude any favorite artists?
gotta love Bach Beethoven and the boys
alright dude i'll be back in like 20 min. Got to do some stuff for work real quick, you can stay on here if you want and spam message me for points haha end then chat if you need to!
but I really like vieuxtemps haha okay!!
Dude those are some classic boys! love listening to them when I study! I'll have to look  up vieuxtemps never heard of them before!
yep he's belgian have some span spam for free points lol free points free points free poinst yay yay yay yay
yay free points haha I love points I love BYU I love winning Ipads
I'm just watching youtube
nice dude find any good videos. I swear some days I get so bored I just go on a video clicking spree and end up watching the weirdest things
"worst prison experiments conducted on humans" oof
like yesterday I was watching blow gun hunting videos and I'm not even into hunting haha wow What are some of the weird stuff thats happened? I'm gonna look up that belgian dude right now
toxins added to prisoner's blood, shampoo, soap mind control experiments etc
A violin concerto nice! I actually took a music class over the summer and learned all about the different types of pieces! Ah dang bro thats pretty weird. did any of the mind control stuff work?
that's great!
Yeah it was pretty entertaining, hard for me though, since I'm not super musically talented. Our test were 30 sec of a random clip of music and we had to pick what kind it was
leaning about eugenics from Josef menegele
I don't even know what any of that stuff is. What is eugenics
controlled breeding to make the human race better aka Aryan domination pretty terrifying
Thats pretty messed up dude.
yep
I'm sure that would cause a lot of birth defects if they are like inbreeding people. Some people just have sick minds dude.
yeah I understand if someone finds blue eyes and blond hair attractive but anythings else is just messed up
I mean I feel like its okay to want to have that, but Its just wrong to try and breed people.
yeah...
Like you can't force people to breed with each other so you can get what you want.
it's totally wrong
I guess dogs are okay? I don't know Are you super for like animal rights. I think some of the mixed breed dogs are really cute
especially people who are against interracial marriage
Dude there is nothing wrong with interracial marriage.
basic rights for animals but nothing crazy actually!!
Actually?
if a black man want to marry a white women who cares? it doesn't matter
Yeah I agree. I think its wrong to tell someone they can't love somebody else because their skin color or the way they look is different.
some people make such a big deal out of it and it's ridiculous
Oh man, especially in the world today. Everyone is getting offended at everything.
everyone's a snowflake
haha there was a pretty funny halloween costume I saw. It said millenial and had "caution fragile" stickers all over him and its said in quotes "I'm offended"
wow that's awesome
it was hilarious Did you do anything fun for halloween?
I slept that's about it
nice great way to catch up on some sleep, especially in the middle of a busy week I worked all night so that was fun
oh FUN at least you made money
True, I get paid good money to sit here at a desk and not do much
what do you do for work?
I work at Nu Skin I'm I do sales, customer service and like mentoring/training for the new people that come here. I do all the customer service and sales in chinese though, so its kind of fun! But somedays like today are really slow.
woah you speak Chinese?? I took Chinese in high school just one year though
Yeah dude I can speak and read pretty well, writing is alright! Thats awesome, did you like it?
that's so cool!
Yeah its definitely helped me out a lot! All my jobs I've had so far have been with chinese!
Chinese is fun but people think it's incredibly hard
Yeah I feel like its hard learning it for maybe like the first couple weeks, but once you learn vocabulary and grammar its pretty easy to string sentences together. I'd say another hard part for a lot of people is the different tones and pronounciations of things.
the tones are deadly and so are radicals and pinyin
oh man those are so confusing to learn haha some of the tones sounds so similar sometimes its hard to detect which tone each word is. and then its like the same word with different tones can mean different things, oh its a big mess sometimes haha
Chinese is really interesting to listen to though I like the way it sounds
Yeah it sounds really cool, sometimes it sounds like someone is singing. Because of all the different tones. Maybe you will go to Taiwan on your mission!
haha maybe Spanish is definitely easier than Chinese
is there like a dream place you'd like to go?
Europe
Yeah that is for sure. My brother is on a mission right now doing spanish. Europe would be awesome, lots of fashion over there
even though I've heard it's super difficult and everyone is atheist or Catholic
Yeah that is what I've heard. But everyone I know that has served over there has loved it! Alright dude, here is another question for you. What is the worst place you have been stuck in for a long time?
a plane even though it wasn't that long only 5 hours to get to the east coast but it was SO DRY and loud as usual
oh dude im with you there. I have the hardest time sitting still, like im always bouncing my legs or tapping on something. So being stuck in a plane is the worst. especially cause the seats are so small and you're crammed next to some one else. Worst flight anywhere is over seas because of how long it is. my legs and ankle swell up sometimes haha But lots of free movies so I like that part!
sometimes you dont get free movies and all you have to do is just sit and regardless of what people say about airline food I kind of like it
Dude I always pack sleeping pills in case that happens
better food than I make at home I should try sleeping pills
I agree. I actually like the food they give you, its pretty good. and it comes in fun little containers
could only help but those are only on long trips most trips you just get peanuts or trail mix
Yeah not like anything serious like those prescription stuff, but like melatonin works for me pretty well Yeah even then the peanuts are pretty good! Or those biscoff cookies they give too are pretty yummy! alright dude here is another question. What was the best time and worst time of you life?
I couldn't pick specific moments that would be too hard best - probably some religious experience considering you know being Mormon and all worst - probably sometime scout trip XD
Thats awesome dude! I would have to agree with you probably some of the best moments in my life have been getting married and my mission. Worst - scout camp, anything that has to do with me being out side in uncomfortable situations for long periods of time haha or when I have to use the bathroom and can't find one thats pretty bad or being super hungry Do you like to watch netflix? Know of any good shows to watch? Well, since you're probably doing something I'm just going to go ahead and tell you a story. You can respond once you get back! Let me tell you about the time I got in trouble In my biology class my freshman year of high school. Well basically we had class in a lab and we had these drawers that were always locked for materials, somehow my buddy and I found a way to open the drawer and we put this giant water bottle in there and would bring stuff from the cafeteria and put in there and leave it over the weekends. It was so nasty, we put like milk, chicken nuggets, tater tots, you name it we put it in there hahaa
haha woah you had a much more fun high school experience that's so gross
Anyways the bottle started to expand and grow this weird stuff an then cap blew off and we got kicked out of class for the day. Yeah dude I was kind of a punk in high school. Sorry for all those messages haah
the worst we did as a freshman was silly string a house sounds like it are you much more docile now?
That is pretty fun! I TP a house once! Yeah I'm much more relaxed now.
also you are married so you should have calmed down already
When I told you that I lit that toilet on fire, someone called the fire dept. and police on me.
omg how why
Yeah I'm pretty tame now haha, my wife also helps keep me under control especially in public.
she keeps you on a leash, right?
Okay listen to this, so I thought it just caught the toilet on fire but it actually burned the walls and all the flooring and it got big enough that they had to come put i out Yeah but its like in a nice way haha! I feel like I'd probably make a big scene over something dumb or act like an idiot if she wasn't with me Well I still kind of do just for fun sometimes.
hey I'm gonna use the bathroom I'll be back
Okay no worries dude!
I'm back
Suhhh dude! Glad you made it back safely
just barely dorm bathrooms can be pretty dangerous sometimes
oh dang dude, I forgot you have dorm bathrooms, how do those work? is it just shared with the whole hall or something? The showers are in there too yeah?
the entire dorm hall shares one bathroom there are also showers granite showers
Dang bro that is nuts haha! Do they have like private showers or is it like locker room style where is everyone in one big room?
nah it's private showers
I forgot they even had bathrooms like that at BYU, I stayed at heritage my first semester so that was nice!
locker room style would be a bit weird
Oh thats nice, nothign too crazy then I bet? ..
yep they're cleaned daily apparently around 11 in the morning it's really nice actually
OH that sounds really nice! Are the kids pretty crazy there like towel whipping each other and stuff? Actually, do you have to line up and wait to get a shower? I remember when I was in the MTC if you didn't get up extra early you'd have to wait like 10 -20 min just to get in the shower and then you'd end up being late to everything
wow that would SUCK you can't win either way even worse would be if the hot water ran out
Yeah you're right haha I didn't think about hat. Wake up early - lose. Sleep in - lose Oh yeah if you got in late dude, you'd have like the temperature of water that was almost hot but not hot enough to be comfortable Yeah those were good times
I personally like hot showers
I love hot showers too
like barely able to handle it it's really bad for your skin but good for your sinuses
really? Why is it so bad for your skin? I feel like i've heard that before. Yeah it definitely clears up my nose everytime I take a hot shower.
hot water and soap strips away the skin's natural oil barriers in a bad way making it dry and itchy and irritated
oh dang I didn't even know that. Whatever it feels good anyways plus I use lotion everytime I get out the shower otherwise I get ashy
some people just have more dry skin especially being in Porvo Provo everything is so dry
Oh when I first got here it was so bad
even when it's cold out you can't see your breath as easily because it's so dry
actually its still pretty bad, the tips of my fingers by my fingernails get split open all the time
I still have nosebleeds
man dude rub some vaseline in your nose I've heard that helps, or get a humidifier My mouth got so dry once the side of my mouth ripped and it took FOREVER to heal it was so painful
my roommate's split lip opens every times he sneezes
ahhh that sounds so painful
yeah I my lips are okay but just a little dry
Yeah i feel like if you have a good chapstick and use it frequently you should be ok
I have 3 I'm good I always have one on my person
haha smart guy What is your favorite kind of chap stick?
Burt's bees is okay but you can't be the original
Yeah man! Burt's bees is my favorite! oh like the original chap stick brand? I never really liked that one for some reason
eh it's personal preference
Yeah
I like the flavors the most
What flavors do you like? See i've never really been able to taste them so I just like burts bees
cherry orange
cherry is not bad I like the way it smells never tried orange though but it sounds refreshing
cherry is the universal sick flavor
haha
I just have a memory of orange from the dentist's when I was younger
I never thought about that before but true
what is your favorite flower?
orange smell always makes me think of cuties those little tangerines flower?
yeah
I'd have to say um daises
mine is heliotrope
I think the white conrasts nicely with the yello yellow never heard of that one before, why do you like it?
well...there's a bit of a story
oh I just googled it those are pretty like little stars lets hear the story
before my family was in the house they are in now we lived in a much small house when you faced the house, the neighbor on the right had this amazing flower garden with stone benches and statues and all that stuff they lived a bit up higher on the hill than us (our street was a gentle slope) so I would climb the hill and sit on the bench and sniff all the flowers and heliotrope was the one I remember best I might have gotten a little high
Dude that sounds awesome haha its crazy all the things you can remember when you are a kid. Especially certain things bring back memories like flowers or scents! also love the description of the gentle hill that was awesome! Can those flowers get you high? I've never heard of that before
probably not
haha
but I really liked to smell things when I was younger
Dude did you smell sharpies ever or whiteboard markers?
I would also climb into the spice cabinet and just sniff ever single freaking spice or herb we owned no not that
What is something weird that you secretly like the smell of?
I wasn't that dumb XD
Dude sniffing spices is pretty fun! haha darn I guess I must have been the dumb kid then I didn't sniff then like crazily but I always would take a little waft everytime I had one, for some reason I thought it smelled like root beer
car exhaust even global warming
Car exhaust has a nice distinct smell, and global warming how do you even smell that? I think coffee smells really good
not global warming but car exhaust is related to global warming coffee is amazing the smell I like coffee flavored chocolate also chocolate covered coffee nibs
never had any of those where do you get them it sounds really yummy and yeah I don't have the distinct smell of car exhaust in my mind but i'll for sure give it a whiff next time I start the car oh i also like the flavor of popcorn flavored jelly beans I think those are awesome.
I tend to avoid weird flavors of jelly beans but pink jelly beans are my favorite
what flavor is the pink one? so my mom gave me some harry potter jelly bean flavors for christmas one year they got some pretty freaking nasty flavors like dirty sock, soap, cut grass, rotten egg, throw up, some of them are so bad I can't even chew them
like bean boozled how long would you like to keep chatting for?
oh yeah that is what is called bean boozled haha! um so i get off work in 10 minutes and then I'll drive home so we can just end then. How long do you want to go for?
eh whenever you're ready I'm kind of excited to see how many points this is going to add up to be
Yeah dude its like waiting for christmas to see how many presents you get! my guess is probably a couple hundred thousand We've been chatting for a pretty long time!
Christmas isn't exactly around the corner just yet though yeah like for 5 hours
Its almost here! haha Thats like working a part time job! haha I think its funny all the people that start putting out christmas decortions and playing christmas music in november. like cmon guys we haven't even done thanksgiving yet!
I've already started to listen to Christmas music is that a problem
no haha
I LOVED Christmas when I was younger
I just think its funny how like once halloween is over thats like the cue to start all the christmas stuff!
I would listen to christmas music year round yeah especially department stores
Oh me too man! Some nights I couldn't even sleep I would get so excited I remember staying up to 3 or 4 in the morning because I was so excited on christmas eve!
being honest here I sort of miss being a kid I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING
yeah that is so true being a kid is the best like you go to school come home, eat a snack that mom makes for you, do your homework if you even have it and then go play outside with the neighborhood kids I remember I'd walk to 7-11 with my buddies and we would get slurpees, those were the days dude!
I would go to 7-11 all the time with my older bother!! slurpees were the best!!
dude they are so good! like bubbly and foamy and kind of carbonated! I like the pina colada or banana flavor! haha well bro I  just got off work so i'm going to head out but it was real nice chatting with you! Thanks for being cool and not boring hopefully we can chat again some more later!
my friends and I would go to the beach and get Pina coladas yeah sure!! thanks for all the conversational topics!! so are you going to end it or am I?
yeah I'll end it haha! see you later bro!
