I got Outsider!
“By “Outsider” I mean you are going literally outside. You are soaking up the sun! You are traversing a body of water in an athletic manner! You are SLEEPING under the STARS! I love this for you”
Hah. This is both accurate and misleading – my outdoor activities are less athletic (reading, strolling, sitting on the seashore, nature walks, picnicking) but definitely outside. Almost everything is improved by being outside when the weather allows.
Saturday for all of that Cleo!
Lol, not sure how same became Saturday. Damn autocorrect.
I got Apocalypse Now, and yeah… yeah. It’s kinda unavoidably there for me.
On a lighter note, this summer might be my high femme era as I get big into renfaire/historical inspired fashion.
