@riosvalentinax: somebody really let me get on a school auditorium stage with a mic, a wooden podium, and maroon curtains behind me like i had the most important speech of the year meanwhile i’m up there in a blue button down, black mini, and heels trying to keep it together while half the room is looking forward and the other half is definitely not. the little side eye from the crowd took me out the american flag standing there all serious made the whole thing even funnier somehow. i walked off that stage knowing everybody was going home with a slightly different version of what happened
