So how'd you get into "DJ curation"?

What's your dad doing with his facial hair these days?

Can I see the folder you keep my old nudes in?

Is your roommate's dog still alive?

Can I have my DVDs back?

Is my mom still emailing you?

Can you promise to never tell anyone about the thing I said on mushrooms?

Do you still carry that small purse?

Are you seeing anybody?

When did you get that, Jason?

Why?
