OH: Everything was wonderful. .
SF:
In, routinely, when had conversations prior to that, you’d discuss what?
Work? Home? Boyfriends?
OH:
Right, right. We, would’ve, what any friends talk about. Our lives, more our
lives than the technology or you know, what the tech, you know, we didn’t really talk about that by itself usually it was more in terms of, well, this is how I would
deal with that, or that’s funny that you did that that way because that’s exactly
how we would have done it, or whatever.
SF:
Okay, and then I know that last night you mentioned to me, Carol,
something to me about her verbiage had changed during different stages of

OH:
Oh, her vocabulary?
SF: Yeah, can you explain that to us?
OH:
Yeah. Urn, there was a period of time after Lisa got into Scientology, and I
think it was, it wasn’t right at first, but I know one of the things that she told me when she first got in was that she was, they did vocabulary building lessons, I mean, you know, it made her feel very good, it made her feel smart, but we went through a period of time, and I can’t pinpoint it exactly, but it was pretty early on where she was really into this strange speech, you know, it would be, she was using all this vocabulary that nobody would know, you know, and so it made it, it
got to the point where we weren’t really communicating because you are just
kind of looking at her thinking, what are you talking about?

SF:
What did you think about that?
OH:
I thought it was very odd.
SF:
What crossed your mind when, I mean if you’re talking to a girlfriend and
they’re talking about (inaudible), you don’t know what they’re talking about, what do you, I mean,

OH:
Well, what I thought of it as, was something that made her feel special,
something that made her feel really smart, and that for whatever reason, she needed to do that right then, I mean, I don’t know, we never, to be honest, I don’t think we ever discussed that directly, but what I remember thinking was ,you’re
being weird, why are you doing that, and, and it passed.
SF:
Okay. What about her personality. Did you ever notice any personality
changes over the years?
