you drive me crazy

Isaac: Oh no, you gotta have that experience! And not just at a theater show. No hate to the art, I appreciate all forms forms of expression. But if you really want to let loose, you've gotta go to a rock concert front row and let the music enter your soul.

Isaac: but to answer your question, no i haven't been to an opera. That's the one where they sing like so high they shatter glass, right? that's so dope.

Kat: Hmmmm I'm not really an expert at "breaking loose" but it sounds like you've got a handle on it so maybe I'd let you show me sometime! What does one wear to a rock concert though anyway? I'd want to dress to the occasion!

Isaac: have you ever stood so close to the stage that the performer's sweat fell on you?? those are real seats.

Bernie: Yeah! And I'm not even wearing my ACTUAL GLITTER BOXERS!

Bernie: But if that was true then why isn't the sun made of glitter? 🤔

Kat: You have ACTUAL glitter boxers? Those sound so cute! You have to show me sometime!

Abbie: Thanks! It’s not like a PRO sports camp or anything, so there’s definitely no professional masseuse for anything. If they get wounded, we mostly just give em ice packs or let them walk it off.

Abbie: I know I am! I wouldn’t say I’m one of the PRETTIEST girls around because every girl is so so pretty too! But I didn’t get that way from lifting guys! It’s just jeans and stuff! Yeah! Short tiny boys are nice too! Haven’t you ever heard of Short Kings? That’s kind of a male lead type!

Kat: At least snab a few ice packs then! Maybe it'll help. I personally love the cold for pain.

Abbie: I don't have time! I got a summer job helping out at a softball camp and then I'm pet sitting!

Abbie: Maybe they're the dream as in they should stay there! I've dated soooo many and I don't think spine pain has made me any cuter!

Kat: Aww, cute! Maybe have someone at the softball camp massage you then? Shouldn't a sports camp have, like, a professional masseuse to soothe wounded athletes?

Abbie: We played Rock Paper Scissors to see who would get a piggy back ride home. I’ve never been so broken.

Abbie: Remind me to NEVER try going out with a football player TWICE my height ever agaaaain!

Kat: Oh my gosh, your poor back! You should go for a massage stat!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of both of them, especially their comic counterparts… but why would you want to be dressed up in the same costume as everyone else when there are so many other badass superhero ladies that are overlooked that you could be instead? Then you’d stand out more, and you wouldn’t be emulating a woman who can’t even discuss her own character in interviews without being hella offensive about it.

Okay, so I love that you think I should stand out -- that’s so sweet, especially coming from the prettiest mascot in the world! But if we can be honest? I don’t know superheroes! In fact, I barely know Black Widow and Scarlet Witch; I only know of them because they’re so popular but I’ve never watched Wandavision or an Avengers movie. I think I’d much rather be matching a billion other Black Widows or Wandas than go to parties in a costume that no one recognizes or wants to take pictures with me in. We’ve evolved past ‘who wore it better’ too, so getting a chance to match with other beautiful, fascinating girls gives me more excuses to make friends throughout the night! Besides, like you said, the characters are from comic books, so me dressing as one of them isn’t me emulating any actress in particular! It’s emulating a drawing from like a million years ago! I didn’t know one of the actresses was a meanie about her own character though -- is it Lizzie or ScarJo? And also, now you have me curious, what underrated comic book lady would you recommend for me if that was the sort of thing I was into? Do any of the others look like me at all? Or like you? Because I bet you’d so rock a badass superhero lady too!

Woah, I haven’t even thought about Halloween yet. I have no idea what I wanna dress up as, now you gave me something to think about! But for you, I’d totally go Black Widow. Not only is she a total babe, but she’s like Russian too, yeah? It’s destiny!

Yeah, well, I like to plan ahead, especially when it comes time to dress up all hot! And oh my gosh, Black Widow is Russian? I had no idea but you’re right, that so makes my decision for me! To be totally honest, I’ve never watched a Marvel movie. I just know that they’re the sexy girl costumes of the year and I never turn down an opportunity to look my best, so you can definitely expect to see me in a white cat-suit come October. Now you... what kind of costume do you usually rock? Do you like to dress as musicians? Or are you more of a dress-as-a-thing-that’s-totally-different-than-what-you-are kind of guy?

UMMMMM okay so at the top of my list, I’m going to have to put

Me, because I’m a self-confidence queen.

And then @chloeandcrson because duh, she’s the bestie, and also she looks amazing literally all the time always. Whether it’s pjs for a sleepover, a pretty dress for a dance, or whatever wacky costumes she has to wear on stage, she’s the most beautiful girl ever.

I’ve made it embarrassingly clear that I think @berniewijanto is the finest guy in our grade so this is the last time I’m saying it because I don’t want him to think I’m a creepy stalker. If he even notices, anyway.

And I can’t mention Bernie without mentioning @bianca-ellis, who is so scary gorgeous that sometimes she makes my eyes hurt looking at her.

@dawsondaviss is probably the other hottest guy in our grade. I think he just looks like the pinnacle of masculinity at its finest.

And his girlfriend @codymilne is probably the only non-me and non-Chloe girl in the world beautiful enough to actually outshine Dawson sometimes.

@arabellad-arcy is beautiful on the inside and on the out. She’s so dang nice that sometimes I forget that she looks like an actual goddess until I see her in person again and then I freak out a little.

@gastonthejr and @gastonthethird can share this spot since they look the same, whoops. But can you blame me? They’re so manly.

I think we can all agree that @celia-facilier is so incredibly pretty. 

And finally, probably @coltonslim? He has big arms and he’s nice.

I’d be a good girlfriend because I’m really caring! Like, once someone matters to me, I would do legit anything for them, and that’s some dream girl energy right there, I think. I love to spoil my loved ones, both with gifts and just affection and time and energy. I’m also a cheerleader, a sorority sister, and an app developer, which shows that your girl has the range! Which is very, very cool, I think. I’m a good kisser and a great hugger and a fantastic friend, and girlfriend is just the cool, sexy evolution of friendship!

I don’t see any reason @chloeandcrson and I don’t have an equal chance of getting married someday! I mean, like, yes, did she just go on a date? Sure, but it’s not like she’s engaged or anything sups crazy like that! She wouldn’t do that without telling her bestie, after all. And Chloe is every single kind of amazing ever, so I know for a fact that someone’s going to fall so in love with her and marry her someday, but I’m great too! Even if people don’t seem to notice me as much sometimes.

That’s a weird one but okay! I like the sound of both Jason and Dawson -- that doesn’t mean I want to moan either @jason-shocke or @dawsondaviss ‘s names though, promise. And the names kind of rhyme so maybe I just like those noises? Also, Arabella is a really sexy, like musical name? Again, not that I’d sleep with @arabellad-arcy because I’m into guys, but yeah. It’s honestly easier to think about the least moanable names, because I feel really bad for people named stuff like Squeaky or Squirmy or Yoyo!

I’ve only been on maybe three real dates, and that’s counting the disaster that was my Valentine’s Picnic with @zevonchanca -- which if you guessed it was my most embarrassing date, you’d be correct! There’s nothing more embarrassing than getting a beautiful basket ready for a super cute fun date only to have a jerk-hole of a pirate bet on it and ruin your evening. The only good part of that date was getting to share it with @chloeandcrson! It’s like we were the ones on the date, really, and my “date” and Chloe’s were. 

Chloe: !!!! FASHION MONTAGE, YES!!! Truth be told, I was shopping the other day just randomly and I totally already have a few things I spotted that I think would look AMAZING on you!

Chloe: I'm starting to think maybe my type is just really sweet, amazing nice boys? I DID like Zac a little bit and I guess maybe he can be considered kind of a bad boy just because he's so mean to me, but given my more recent things for Colton and Yoyo, I think I like the nice boys more! JGNJFFG IT'S SO HARD TO DESCRIBE, KAT. He just, like, lifts me up so much! Like, yeah, it's nice to be called pretty and everything, but he doesn't just call me pretty. He calls me talented and dedicated and kind and fun and that just makes me feel so good about myself! You're totally right! I feel good about us, but I'll definitely let you know! Now, honestly, I'm more determined on what we can do to find YOU a summer cutie, too!!

Kat: YESSSSS, WE CAN EVEN MAKE A PLAYLIST SO IT FEELS LIKE A MONTAGE RIGHT OUT OF THE MOVIES! And oh my gosh, really? That's so sweet, they made you think of me? We have to start there then!

Is it cheating to say the vodka? Because I do really love vodka! I also love how important family is to us, because my parents are the absolute best and I’m so happy to have them, and my cousins are totally amazing too! 

Genevieve: You know how you’re like an icon at MAKING apps? How good are you On them? Like specifically dating apps!? I need help!
