  3. 3

    The Casual Boundary

    Your type B friend at the bach party

Transcript

The party has arrived, bitches. Also, does anyone have an extra phone charger that I can borrow? Kinda forgot one. Okay. We're back. I thought we asked you to get stuff for the entire weekend. Yeah. And seltzers are the most important part. Well, I am totally fine sleeping anywhere. I just will be sleeping in until, like, eleven ish. Maybe noon. We'll see. What's the theme for tonight again? Tonight is something blue. And hypothetically speaking, does anyone have anything blue that I could borrow? Oh, you put the bold question in the group chat. Yeah. So I've had that muted for, like, months. You should've tagged me, good ADHD now.
