Come scroll on my phone with me at my friend's house
Transcript
Come scroll on my phone with me at my friend's house. As soon as I entered my friend's house, one of her cats ran out, and as much as I wanted to save the cat, I decided to just start scrolling instead, happy knowing that one of her cats was still here. My friend was on a call in the other room, which allowed me to have some solo scrolling tier. And after just about ten minutes of scrolling, the joint scroll was finally able to commence. One of the best parts of joint scrolling is being able to hear what videos your friend is watching because it feels like you're consuming two posts at once. And when your friend LOLs at a post, you can ask them to send it to you right then and there. After about an hour and a half of scrolling, my friend asked me if I could help her set up her dating profile on The League. And after capturing and uploading some awesome photos of her, matches with exquisite gentlemen started flooding in. It was the perfect joint scroll session. Love you guys.
