Texts from Last Night
(630): Accidentally searched up "pizza pasties" instead of "pizza pastries". I was not disappointed. http://tfl.nu/zq9m
Halloween, continued
(978): Someone needs to fuck me in my slutty pumpkin costume and I would ideally like it to be you http://tfl.nu/9iwc
(803): I'm a dude in a dress, who came to a party with Holly GoLightly, got hit on by Bambi's mom, and wants to do terrible things to Link. Halloween is weird http://tfl.nu/j1op
Tinder
(815): My tinder date wouldn't stop talking about the Star Wars movie trailer long enough to fuck me. HOW IS THIS MY LIFE?!? http://tfl.nu/x6r7
(425): I think I need to start sobriety testing my Tinder dates. http://tfl.nu/11s2
Walk of shame
(360): Decided to stop by the store on my walk of shame. I must really look like shit, a six year old girl just walked up to me and said "my mommy wanted me to tell you Jesus loves you." Thanks kid. http://tfl.nu/ony4
What you did last night
(713): Drunk you decided to patrol campus as the Arrow and tell random bystanders "YOU HAVE FAILED THIS CAMPUS." Campus P.D. did not join your crusade.
(1-713): That explains the nerd bow & arrow... http://tfl.nu/zef7
(863): You tried to ride his dick and fell off. Then tried to ride the floor. That's why he hasn't called back http://tfl.nu/r23n
