Self-Summary

Honest to god these "self-summaries" are silly. I guess they're sort of required though?

I love binge watching shows, cooking when I'm in the mood, social drinking, I enjoy being outside as long as it's not too hot or too cold. I collect plants? They're kind of like my pets since the pet deposit at my development is too expensive... I'm 5'7, long-ish dark brown hair, I have tattoo's and piercings. If you message me because you need to know my religion before dating me because I would have to "convert" to be with you it just isn't going to happen. Don't waste your time.

"What do I think about Marcy?" Jack paused before answering.

"Her birth name is Sunshine... her parents must've been on some damn good drugs. She's a fucking liar, she doesn't respect herself. She just floats through life thinking some sort of Karma is going to come around and help lift her out of bad situations." Jack paused and took a drag from his cigarette. He took his baseball cap off and slicked back his greasy black hair.

"I hope Karma smacks her in the face." He continued without provocation. "She wears slutty clothes and flirts when she's drunk... she never does the fucking dishes... not until you can't even use the sink because it's so full." Jack took another drag and stood up from the curb he was sitting on to pace.

"Laundry? Forget it... she won't do it until she literally has nothing left to wear. She smokes sometimes... she thinks she hides the smell under that Victoria secrets perfume but she's not fooling anyone. She thinks she's all high and mighty because shes a "Pescatarian" what a fucking joke that is. Get her super hungover or take her camping for a week and she wants a burger or vampire taco's. She thinks she's so cool but she's not..." He paused and held his cigarette out staring off into space trying to piece together his angry words.

"She'll make you think she loves you and then fuck your friend before you even have the chance to make a move." He took another drag before flicking his cigarette.

"What a bitch." Jack shook his head.

"Yeah," Autumn nodded as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other.

"I thought she was really shy and reserved! She's always looking at the ground and mumbling sorry to people in the halls if she accidentally gets in their personal space... you know how timid she is in meetings" Autumn leaned on her right hip. May nodded as she ran her finger along her phone screen.

"You should have been with us last night May! She showed up wearing a crop top and these cut off shorts with this like..." Autumn motioned to her chest area with her hands as she kept talking.

"I don't even know... a home made vest jacket thing? She looked like she just came from some sort of screamo concert? Her septum is pierced... that part in your nose." Autumn touched the underside of he nose and suddenly May was listening.

"Seriously?" May asked.

Autumn nodded, "she's got all these tattoo's... like... a shit ton... she signed us up for laser tag and we played with a bunch of young 21 year olds and she was running around. Then we played arcade games and she's hard core competitive. Thank you." Autumn nabbed her coffee from the barista before she could even say the name on the cup.

"Then she starts talking to this guy by the shuffle board tables and bets him 20 bucks she can beat him in a game and she won! So he," Autumn made air quotations with her fingers. "gave her a ride home."

"Oh my god, she went home with some rando guy from Barcadia?!" May asked grabbing her coffee once her name was called.

"I mean she's all quiet and barely says anything to any one in the office unless she absolutely has to. I felt like I was hanging out with a totally different person." Autumn opened the door for May and as they stepped out she said,

"I wish she were more like that with us... she's so fucking uptight at work."
