Also, twenty-seven minutes of the Cotton Eyed Joe dance remix.

sequential single lines of songs followed by hummed lyrics, coffee shop white noise, and a whispering voice to k*ll yourself. All on loop at max volume.

Deez nuts, indeed. My roommate asked me what I put in the description and I said "fight the fascists and I'll consider coming back." He laughed and made special effort to clarify that I would likely never have a streaming service again. He is correct. I'm either reading from now on or yo-ho-ho-ing.

I told my group when I returned and I felt like when you’re watching a TV show and they do a side adventure episode where the B-plot is the A-plot for the whole episode.

Then, an old woman mistook me for her grandson, & bought me ice cream as a thank you for helping locate them, which only took seconds, but I’m not turning down free ice cream. Then I got to give my spare disposable ear plugs to a youth + her little bro bc they were the only ones covering their ears.

I even had my own little weirdo side adventure. I left my group to wash sunscreen out of my eyes. While near the roughly 17 story observation deck someone asked if I would go up with them bc they were scared. When I came back down, a couple had me help them take phone pics… engagement phone pics…!
