Ron Weasley anyone?
That is the best thing I've read all day!
thank you how are you doing?
Now I can't think about any kind of flying car besides a dumpy muggle vehicle now. I'm doing well. It's pretty decent weather outside and I've passed all my classes this semester. How are you doing?
It's awesome I love it when it's nice out congrats on your classes!
Thank you! What kind of weather do you prefer?
like 75 degrees and sunny not too hot not too cold but if I had to choose I'd choose cold weather
Same. I grew up where it was very hot and I don't think I'll ever go back to it.
I've always hated the heat because if its cold you just put on another layer but if it's hot you can't really do anything
I like when it is 55-70 and overcast. I hope to move to the Pacific North West some day. Do you like the snow?
I'm from the PNW it's absolutely gorgeous Expensive though I really really like the snow
It is expensive. I've only been once but I want to go back. Where are you from and what places would you suggest I go to? Do you like winter sports?
Seattle area do you like to hike?
I'll definitely have to check it out then. I do like to hike but haven't been able to get out very much this year because of classes.
Go to the Olympic Peninsula it's soooo pretty and they have alot of hikes and
I haven't done very many hikes up around BYU this year but I have done several in Southern Utah and Nevada where I'm from. That's awesome! I'll put that on my list. Any hike or water fall imparticular that is your favorite?
Cape Flattery It's the very tip top northwest portion of the US Or Mount Pilchuck is pretty fun to do, that's in the Baker National Forest
Thanks! I'll have to Google it and plan on it for our next trip. Are they very long or strenuous trails? Would you recommend them for a family or inexperienced hikers?
Cape Flattery is pretty easy! My family got up there And we had a 4 year old Pilchuck is harder though, not for young kids
I was a little worried. The last time someone said that a hike was "pretty easy" I didn't think that Is as going to make it. But if a 4-year old could do it then I think I'll Be just fine. Would you say the Pilchuck hike is very long distance wise?
It took us awhile because the 4 year old is slow but you'll be pretty good
Good to know. What other hobbies do you have?
Pilchuck is a manageable 4.8 mile hike but it's hight gain is significant I like to read and do debate
What genre of books do you like to read?
Historical Fiction
Interesting. I know it sounds a little cliche but I enjoy fantasy books.
They're pretty bomb
Have you read a good book recently? I just finished a pretty large series that I enjoyed.
I'm currently reading the Handmaid's Tale and it's intresting
Do you know if its similar to the series that they've produced? Have you seen it?
I'ce started watching it but then decided to read it first ya know
Interesting. I'll have to start reading them too. Would you recommend them? I saw it online and started watching them yesterday and it has been so interesting. I love analyzing things and the psychology behind the story line is fascinating.
It's really cool to me because it's kind of a social commentary Same1
The book is?
Same! Yeah, mostly on feminism and the oppression of women
That! Also, it is interesting to compare it to the prison experiment that one of the Ivy League schools did. I wish I could remember more information on it. They took students and put them in a prison simulation, giving each their own roles to play and after a couple of days the students took the form of their
The Stanford prison experiment?
Characters and started to act like guards or criminals. Probably.
yeah I thought that was pretty cool
I think it is interesting how fast America could go to crap if the constitution was eliminated like in the series.
Oh yeah it would suck the rebels killed the president and congress and took over
I think that expirement can be compared to the series. They were all normal people until they were given roles and told to believe something. And the other 325 million people that let it happen?
Lot's of people turned to the religion beforehand and it's not the entire US There is fighting on the outskirts and stuff
Is it not? What area is it? I figured some of them would have had to in order to set up a whole system with Aunts and answers to all the questions and procedures
Yeah mostly because of the declining birth rate You know the wall that they had the dead people hung and displayed? That was one of the walls of Harvard University I think
That would make sense. Have you had a chance to read "the Scarlet Plague"?
Nope, is it good?
It's short but similar in the sense that technilogical advancements ruin the human race and end up wiping out everyone but a handful of people. It's a realistic account of what it would be like generations post apocalyptic.
I think that sounds pretty good, I'll have to add that to my reading list
It is very very short. Very eye opening. I think it would be your style of book. It would take you a day or two. Do you have a Kindle? There are free kindle downloads on Amazon and I think you can find it as a free PDF online. It is only 80 pages or something so not very long at all.
No, I don't have a kindle But I have the app!
Definitely look it up. How long is the Handmaids Tale series?
It's a book
The book series.
The handmaid's tale is a singular book
That's too bad, I always prefer series. I'll definitely have to add that to my list then.
Series I always foget what happened in the last book *forget
Is there a series you've been wanted to read but haven't been able to yet?
not that I can think of Any suggestions?
Not for historical fiction. If you like the "creating a world" then I would highly recommend The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanders.
My mom likes those books!
Really? I had a friend tell me that they were better than Harry Potter and I told he was crazy so we read them and he was right unfortunately No, they're really good books.
WHAT I love harry potter
Same. Wheel of Time is amazing though if you have the time for it. The series has 11  books and each is like 500 pages. I rented the first couple HP books to read again this summer. Have you downloaded the new game that they created for phones? The Harry Potter one?
I tried but the graphics are cringey
They are and it is slow but it was happy to finally get my "acceptance letter".
did you get sorted?
I'm on year two now. I'm in Slytherin. Not my first choice but I thought I would do something different this time.
Yeah I'm usually in Hufflepuff
Cool! I normally choose Ravenclaw.
I've never really met a Ravenclaw before that's pretty cool
Weird! One of my best friends is also a Ravenclaw. I mean, we never really talked about it but she wore her Ravenclaw sweater to a BBQ. I couldn't believe it. Maybe houses attract.
haha
Well. It's been a pleasure! Cheers!
