Overview

Woah. I wear my finest fit, my tallest shoes. I get to the function. Here's miss fucking six foot two. There go my chances. Why you gonna hit the group chat and tell everybody bad was coming out? I wouldn't have even better. I crossed tier fucking Lincoln Tunnel. I'm basically ball from here down. I took a four hour shower. Okay? And and you don't do nothing in there but post up on the wall anyways. Whole tier, I'm shaking rank, trying to catch him in the process. Like, fuck. Listen. Just call me next time. Just don't waste my fucking time going out.
