Ooo fish, do you have a new friend there??

im just chillin

I’ve been studying the classic black tie dress code (mainly from here) so I thought I could share my notes. Maybe they can be helpful to someone else, too. If I made any mistakes or things are really confusing please tell me.  I also have some notes on white tie which I could share as well…

. . . Says the bridesmaid to the waiter . . .

You’re doing amazing sweetie!!

Is it ok if i swear?

Oh shit! Is this what this is?! I didn’t know this was even a thing! I’ve just, like, always been told I’m just super lazy. I’ve tried to explain to my parents but . . . I never knew it was a real thing I just thought I was a whiny brat honestly. Though . . . I don’t know for sure it’s just this sounds exactly like what I’ve been trying to figure out.

If you’re one of those people who thinks executive dysfunction only happens for things we don’t like (school, cleaning,) then please consider the fact that I’ve been meaning to plug my phone in for 20 minutes and I’m now at 2% and still putting it off to write this post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How this would pan out:

Them: “Yo, so I got like . . . A dime and some scratch and sniff stickers . . . I’ll give them to you if you just slap your brother across the face real quick.”

Me: “Sure thing dude, but quick question. What do the stickers smell like?”

Them: “Oranges.”

Me: “Sweet! Yo, Bub! Come here a second!”

Might save someone.
