My name is Jane.  I live in my parent's basement in Virginia. I work at a flower shop. I feed stray cats on my way to work. I want to adopt 2 kittens.  I don't go outside much.  I read a lot of used books. I like vegetarian food. I like green beans. I am renovating my basement apartment.
My name is Mia. I live in an apartment I rent. My apartment is stuffy.  My apartment has a balcony. I work at Merrill Lynch in Beverly Hills. I enjoy my job.   I live in Beverly Hills.  I walk to work.  I play baseball,  soccer.  I am allergic to cats. I love being outside.  I hate green beans. I like to read. I haven't read 100 Years of Solitude.
Mia, I found an interesting book about a famous baseball player I think you would like. That's great, I'd love to give it a read.  Who is it about? It's about Babe Ruth, but it focuses more on his journey through childhood and as a young adult rather than his baseball career. It's very inspirational and moving. I blazed through it in one sitting! If you want I can send it to you so you can read it while you walk to work.  I'm always looking for new books to read on my walk, sounds great!  You always recommend the best books. How is your renovation going?  Cool beans, I'll send it over your way tomorrow! It's going fairly well actually. I'll have to show you some pictures, it's very modern and everything has a sleek finish. I knocked down the wall in the kitchen so now it's wide open with the dining room. Has your apartment still been giving you trouble with how stuffy it is? I cannot wait to see all that you have done.  Maybe you will motivate me to do the same.  Opening up the floor plan may make the apartment seem less stuffy.  I try to keep the balcony open but have to close it during the day.  One of my neighbor's cats got in last time I left the door open and I had quite an allergy attack! Oh no, that's terrible! You know, I heard a good way to keep cats out is to have bowls of water laying in front of the doors. It's an old trick my family used to do to keep cats from coming in, you should give it a try! By the way, I heard your soccer team made it to the finals, congratulations! I will give it a try - you are going to be a great cat owner once you find a couple kittens to adopt!  Yes, thank you! We barely made it in and scored the winning goal in the very last minute of the game.  It was a good one.  If you're not working at the flower shop on Saturday, you should come watch it! I would love that! Is it too corny if I make a sign with your number on it? I'll even bring some flowers from the shop to celebrate, I feel like I just know you're going to win! You are such a good friend, go for it!! The sign I think will help me play better. After that we should try the new vegetarian restaurant that is close to the soccer field.  I went there a few weeks ago and they have the BEST fried green beans. Oh my gosh, totally! I'm so excited, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. I miss going to new restaurants and trying their food with you. I feel like we both got caught up with work and drifted apart a little bit, but I'm so excited to be seeing you this weekend!  Its a plan, let's definitely keep this going.  It has been way too long my friend!
