Me after I hook up with some stranger and then I gotta get outta there ASAP to preserve the sanctity of being mutual strangers so I won't uncover any context for their thoughts I now know: https://twitter.com/shayfil666/status/1669531475459428356?s=20. Right down to the tote bag. I feel seen but I wish I wasn't.

Speaking of thoughts I now know, something weird happened at work today when I bumped into Raine. His thoughts got past my earworm. He was really torturing himself over whether he should text Enoch. Like a full mental debate. He must have been thinking about it really hard for this to have happened. But I thought he and Enoch were splitsville?

You are so lucky we re-met on the forums 🤙 and not at some bar in Laguna, because if you ever did this to me (no matter how cute the tote bag!) I would literally call your mother and tattle.

[...] ~~Did your thoughts get pa~~ If you'd picked one of my song suggestions for your earworm, this never would have happened.

Raine was in Enoch's room for a long time during the storm. Maybe they had an End of the World mega-makeout and Raine's feeling weird about it now?

~~[…] But that implies you […] Oh you’re big joking~~ My mom still calls me “baby” in her yearly happy birthday text, don’t do that to her. And Laguna was not my scene. There are only two ways in and out of Laguna Beach and you always want at least 4. (Fire safety.)

I’m working your suggestions in. They’re in the focus group stage right now.

[…] Is that good or bad? I mean I like Enoch but he can literally play mind games if he wants.

I'm glad I won't have to! [...] What was your scene?

Focus group stage? You're not telling other people about this, right? I'm your pre-wife, so it's okay, but you really shouldn't.

Who am I to judge whether it's good or bad? Surely, there is beauty in any expression of human connection made under threat of impending doom. Lmao, just kidding. I don't know. Honestly, I'm just glad they're talking again. Enoch shouldn't be left to his own devices for too long.

If I was with Crysta, maybe Santa Monica or Silver Lake. Otherwise Ktown, 2nd Street in the LBC, Anaheim Packing District, Downtown Fullerton. [...] I feel like your scene was half indie bookstore and half sports bar, so you were all over the place.

I'm being glib. Playlists are sacred. C'est La Vie is definitely going to make the cut. Barbie Girl no.

Why is that? Because Enoch gives off such strong, "do not EVER come between me and my own devices!!!" vibes.

You're never gonna believe this, but I'm not a very, uh, alluring dancer. So, I've always tried to avoid scenes that might lead to any kind of dancing where I'm not given explicit instructions. Bookstores and sports bars (and swanky bars and house parties) all fit those qualifications. Did you and Crysta go dancing a lot? (I have no idea what the vibe is in any of those places, I don't know why I asked like I would know.)

Okay, good. I know the alarm one was just silly but I just had to make sure we set a precedent.

Well, yes. He does love his little devices and is very precious about them. [...] Which I sometimes think are a bit of coping mechanism. Crysta must have told you about Gavin, right?

Neither am I. Crysta dances. I'd sort of stand against the wall and try to headbang to the beat. But I think in general people are more tolerant of guys who can't dance, so I was really just coasting on patriarchy at da club. And okay, swanky bars. [...] Rooftop bar at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills, that's your scene, no dancing required. So if you'd lived in LA, you would have been safe, because I never went there.

Who's Gavin?

Really zeroed in on the swanky bar part. I’m multidimensional! […] Why are you so sure I wouldn’t have liked meeting you?

Oh shoot. I shouldn’t have said. […] Gavin is her older brother. You can look up the details.

Well, I mentioned it because I think you would have liked the view. If you think refineries have a certain beauty to them, a huge, sprawling metropolis out of Clean Air Act attainment at night seems up your alley. And because of the bad dancing, the uncute tote bags, and the toxicity lmfao.

[...] ~~What do you mean by "the details?" You're acting like something terrible happened~~ Okay. I'll take a look.

Btw, I didn't hear you this morning. Did you just get up? [...] Did you get banged up by Momma Mole?

Hm, you're right. I do miss living in a city, sometimes. Better this way then. I'm glad I didn't miss my opportunity to know you over a drunken, toxic hookup. [...](DON'T say anything annoying. The storm has made me tender. And I know you're glad too. I have Gaspard as proof.)

Don't mention that I brought it up, okay?

Aw. No, I've been up. I'm just not moving around much up here. My ankle is bothering me a little, that's all.

[...] 😃👍 (Not saying anything annoying.)

~~I'm not going to get in trouble over this, am I?~~ I won't. This is going into the same sworn secrecy bucket as the playlists.

Do you want me to take care of that? If it's just a sprain that'll be like 30 seconds.

That would be great, actually. Yes. I'm getting frozen pea water all over my couch :(

Be up in 5. 🦶🏃

(We're not beating the foot fetish allegations.)
