I was looking through my sophomore yearbook last night, so instead of saying that I hope you’re staying cool, I suddenly have the urge to say that I hope you’re having fun in the sun and getting laid in the shade, and then sign it with the full number to my landline, even though we only had one class together and talked like three times.
