So Freddy what do you think about gentrification
Have you tried poppers before – they always have them at the bodegas
Turns out my mom passed down some heart condition
I’ve realized I’m nonbinary and would prefer if you didn’t use gendered pronouns anymore
Is the aquarium open today
That creep with the mask keeps recording us
No none of them are serious I’m just having fun
You really shouldn’t walk around here late at night
Sorry about our friend he’s not from around here
Thanks my mom would’ve killed me if I lost that
I’ve been boy celibate for a few months now never felt better
Would any of you want to go back and visit
We broke up again but I’m still going to Boston
Avocados are four bucks – what a fucking rip off
No hangovers with vodka it’s practically spring water
Think you’ll stay in Texas
I’ve saved so much money using the bus here already maxed out my Roth for the year
Yeah thanks again for being a reference whatever you said worked
We should probably talk about it
