Another thrilling shift at the soul-sucking convenience store. Spilled coffee on myself, dropped a customer’s change (they sighed. I wanted to vanish.), and accidentally made prolonged eye contact with a girl buying energy drinks. She smiled. I short-circuited. My brain went ‘say something cool’ so I blurted ‘nice… uh… barcode scanning skills’ like a malfunctioning robot. Why am I like this. At least the new Deafheaven album is violently good. Silver linings, or whatever.
