Hi! How was it? Sorry I wasn't there. We went to a free movie but had to sit in the front row and I almost threw up from the motion sickness. So I went home and fell asleep at 9:30pm fully dressed in my fancy work clothes, which was pretty fun. I'm a real party animal...

I was well on my way to my 120th lick and all of a sudden I heard this "CRUNCH" and my mouth started glowing like crazy. I think I made a little poo.
