play your cards right and shoot yourself with a nerf gun for laughs. those cake crumbs and half-empty sprite cans won't last forever but those videos on the internet will. you were there tonight. (the party.) and i will be there tomorrow. (the films.) i was cleaning the house and writing the book will you be doing the homework and raking the leaves? am i missing out? are you missing out? is shooting yourself in the head ever fun? is disappearing in a horror film ever fun? is this feeling of the in-between the missing out on parties put on by people you aren't friends with is the wondering when you'll come home is the questioning when you'll text back is the adrenaline for when we'll realize ever ever fun?
