It’s all good. My reunion was actually quite fun. I didn’t drink too much and start singing Rapper’s Delight. I was really stressed about that. They had an awards show and someone actually won Most Gay. Another highlight was seeing a friend that I thought was dead. I told him that I am glad he’s [...]
