i'm way more upset when i feel like i was ambushed into spending money than the money amount itself suggests tbh
and (ii) that time i got bullied on beale street memphis by some local high school boys into withdrawing $40 in cash to give to them for what they said was fundraising for their high school football team
this is going into the annals of lappy being a dumbass with money after (i) that time i invited sb to carnegie hall months ahead of time and bought two $150 tickets but then the guy was going to an imporant prescheduled event and then i failed to find anybody to go with so i went alone,
well i am on here aren't i
when i complained about the above the guy was like 'no way' (ambiguous tone), then offered to make up for it with some fries, which turned out to be a soup bowl's worth of fries. that they then charged me for. and then i tipped 7% over the 20% service charge bc i didn't realise it was already there.
truly i am too dumb to live. i peer pressured myself all on my own into ordering a $65 three course dinner bc i thought everybody was doing it and then when i went to the bathroom during intermission they took away my unfinished salmon main.

it's about leap years. the TEC calendar uses the letters A-g to label all the days in the year so people can keep track of which days of the year fall on the same days of the week, but that is dislocated by one day from March onwards for leap years. and this is used to calculate the Easter date.
we are in the era of gender equality in eating disorders so i would like to order gender equality in slut shaming to go with it
