What do you & your pals do for fun?

I imagine normal groups gather around a meal or a bottle of wine and catch up on work, boys, maybe swap a few stories, reminisce on yesteryear, etc.

My friends aren’t much different. There’s always dinner and some $11 cab but after about 3 minutes of catching up, someone inevitably turns on YouTube and we watch clips for hours.

Our tastes are wide. We like to start with sad movie trailers and music videos, then we take a turn for our favorite musical numbers, which segue ways nicely to watching numbers from Glee, transitioning us to Cory Monteith’s death and Lea Michele’s strength and conviction in the face of loss, which reminds us of Sia and how she has overcome her addictions, landing us on her music video of Shia Labeouf with the little chick from Dance Moms, leading us to our final and most fulfilling destination which is that of Shia Labeouf videos.

    I too like the last line of your typical post. Lindsey offered a good one. Me…… I’d dab some all around my mouth, lie back in a comatose state, and await my concerned loved ones who would surely think I’d lost my mind if I were actually eating this!!

    Yes, my friends and I do this all the time. We watch a lot of Honest trailers, baking clips; occasionally we laugh at makeup tutorials (nicely, I promise) and Darth Trump (recommended). Beautiful vivid hue of hummus!
