8:49 p.m.
RENN:A guy had me tattoo a fork and spoon on his inner arm today. Turned out good, but I thought it was a strange request. Do you remember when we traded our weirdest customer stories?
ME:Of course. I still shudder when I think about the guy with the shaved head that had you tattoo a picture of his eyes on the back of his skull, so he could stare at people from front and back. Creepy AF.
ME:Or the woman who had a list of her favorite foods on her inner arm. Like, why?
RENN:At least I spelled everything right. Would have sucked for her to be constantly looking at avacados or barbacue.
RENN:Seriously, if a person is set on a list running down their arm (more common than it probably should be), favorites from Trader Joe’s is gonna be a regrettable choice. I’d try to talk them into a different one. Countries visited, favorite books, meaningful songs…
ME:…people they want to kill.
RENN:…
RENN:…uh…
ME:Okay, I know you’re young, but please tell me you’ve seen Billy Madison.
RENN:Sorry *sad face emoji*
ME:Jesus.
Wednesday
7:27 a.m.
RENN:Good morning.
8:37 a.m.
RENN:You never replied. Was that text too early? Did I bother you when you’re asleep?
RENN:And if that’s the case, I’m sorry that I texted you again and potentially bothered you, again.
RENN:But I still hope you have a good morning.
2:05 p.m.
ME:Just now seeing these. I worked a super early shift and was trying to do homework at the same time. Didn’t even look at my phone.
ME:Also, fun fact—you are not the only person in Los Angeles who thinks it’s hilarious to put weird names on your drink order. I took a $5 tip to call out an iced mocha today for “Andy who loves his girlfriend and is very sorry about Sunday.”
RENN:I wonder what happened Sunday.
ME:Hopefully nothing too serious. Otherwise Andy should have ordered the large size. And a muffin.
RENN:LOL. In other news…I’m really looking forward to Friday. We’re still meeting at your apartment, right?
ME:I mean…I think it’s the best chance we have of not being interrupted by Gage losing a tooth or Robbie looking at boobs.
ME:FML. I just read that back and it sounds like I don’t like your brothers. That’s not what I meant at all. I’m just looking forward to having you all to myself.
RENN:I know you like them. *happy face emoji*
RENN:And I am also looking forward to you having me all to yourself.
Thursday
