      starting TOMORROW AND UNTIL FOREVER: Pokéing of Chairs

      1. nlips

        That there sounds like a new SlipShine!

        …or maybe it’s just me. 😛

        1. Delicious Taffy

          So, is someone just diddling the chairs, or do the chairs get actively involved?

        2. nlips

          Well, they start you off with a chair massage obviously. Then there’s some legwork, but finally you hit the plateau and then it’s a level ride all the way across.

      2. Chris Phoenix

        A Game of Chairs? Pokemon is Coming?

        1. BBCC

          There are nine badges you need in this region and each gym plays two types

          Targaryen – Dragon, Fire
          Stark – Ice, Ground
          Lannister – Ghost, Rock
          Tyrell – Grass, Psychic
          Martell – Poison, Dark
          Arryn – Fairy, Flying
          Tully – Bug, Normal
          Baratheon – Electric, Fighting
          Greyjoy – Water, Steel

        2. Znayx

          Wow, this fits startling well. It’s perfect; I’m impressed.

    2. John

      In the grim darkness of Dumbing of Age, there is only Pokémon.

    3. Passchendaele

      there’s not enough hate in this town for the both of us!

    They will all end up sharing a cube as roommates. 9/8 central on CBS!

    1. Pablo360

      3 GIRLS 1 GUY 4 CHAIRS 1 CUBE 1 VIGILANTE 2 WIFI NETWORKS BUT ONLY 1 OF THEM IS GOOD 0 COMPETENT CABLE MARKETING STRATEGISTS

      1. Brotato

        This is a good joke.

  3. spriteless

    And then a ninja killed a spider.

    1. inqntrol

      While the world was invaded by soggies….oh wait, wrong comic.

  4. Reltzik

    Hate is the great divider (of cube chairs).

    1. Passchendaele

      A cube divided shall not stand!

      1. N0083rP00F

        It shall lay there, scattered across the floor

  5. Kernanator

    Time to make brackets for the Tournament of Hate.

    1. Yet_One_More_Idiot

      I can go one better – I don’t love everyone, or hate them. I don’t care about everyone.

      The true opposite of hate is not love; the true opposite of hate AND love is total apathy.

      1. Leorale

        “The opposite of war isn’t peace, it’s creation; woo!”

  6. Stephen Bierce

    *switches the hacked Muzak selection to Swingout Sister’s “Breakout”*

      Don’t stop
      To ask
      You found a break to make
      At last

  7. OkamiKing

    Wondered if talks like this are the reason why the rule of one was created

  8. Passchendaele

    “LA LA LA, I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE SCREAM OF MY DISDAIN FOR HUMANITY.”

    where’s mike to get in on this action (oh god don’t bring him over or there \will\ be blood, not just might be.)

    1. tim gueguen

      Mike won’t show up. He prefers orb chairs to cube chairs.

      1. N0083rP00F

        It is Number 2 who always asks the question.
        He is the Number 3. The facilitator. The instigator. The bit of sand in your shoes. The misplaced parking ticket in your glove box. The pajama jeans in your wardrobe. The g string that rides way up.

        1. Roborat

          Now I am expecting Darkwing Duck to appear.

        2. thejeff

          “Who is Number One?”

    2. Emily

      Mike doesn’t hate people that would require him to have the capacity for human emotion.

  9. Kris

    The privacy cube is looking less and less structurally sound by the day. Y’know what it needs? A moat! No could steal a chair if there was a alligator infested moat stopping them.

    1. JessWitt

      Alligator? Oh no you’re mistaken.

      1. Kelly

        YES

  10. Chris

    How the hell do you guys get here so fast?!

    1. TheAnonymousGuy

      patrons = early access

      1. Chris

        Ah. Thought I might make it first too

    2. tim gueguen

      A bunch of the DoA readership have no life outside the comments section.

      1. Chris

        All of us are Alex 😛

      2. Passchendaele

        This updates at around 10:00 P.M., and that’s often when I’m going to sleep, so I usually just hop on right around 10 and make a few comments. And, even as wordy as I am + using a 3DS, of all things, I’m a fast typist. xD

        1. Chris

          I live in the middle of nowhere, so my WiFi lags, but here in Cali it updates at exactly 9:1 pm. You, I must say though, have an early bedtime. I normally sleep at around 2ish, I guess

        2. chris73

          This updates at approximately 1600hrs for me

  11. Haven

    Guess none of them are feeling chairitable.

    1. Gwen

      They have some deep-seated issues

      1. Nono

        Sofa, has there anyone who doesn’t have some?

        1. C baker

          Did you have to couch that in the form of a pun?

        2. Passchendaele

          I ottoman.

        3. Delicious Taffy

          The number of well-balanced people in this comic has been on the recline, lately.

        4. Chris

          Yeah, keep cushion’ myself trying to make joke

        5. Chris

          I dunno Taffy. At this rate things might a little heated

  12. lia47

    u know you really only need one chair and a blanket

    1. Chris

      Maybe some Squirrel Cookies, MooseHugs, and rum, but other than that, your good

      1. Haven

        I like the way you think, good Chris.

    2. zoelogical

      if you get enough blankets you can make a blanket fort and that’s pretty much the same as a cube of solitude i’m assuming

      1. Tacos

        A blanket fort? Pfft! A blanket fort pales in comparison to the sheer superiority of a pillow fort.

        1. zoelogical

          😮

          i always imagined that pillow forts did not have either the structural stability of a blanket fort, please enlighten me

        2. Liliet

          I’m assuming ‘pillow’ here refers to the way we did it, with couch cushions, not regular pillows. They are stiff enough to hold up, and actually better than blankets.
          Though a really good fort involves all the chairs, blankets and pillows in the house and is therefore naturally mixed.

        3. zoelogical

          in DEED

          i think that, if you had a ridiculously large amount of bed pillows, you could potentially stack them on top of each other into a wall. but i mean, why make a wall when you could be using them as padding?

        4. Liliet

          yea their natural use is obviously as floor

        5. Chris

          Oh my God this is something at the level of Galasso speeches.

          A. BLANKET! FORT?!?! Pfffttt…

          FOOLS!!! This *sarcastic* blanket fort *end sarcastic* you speak of PALES! In comparison to the sheer. Superiority. Of the. MIGHTY PILLOW FORT!!!

          Look at those fools and their blanket fort. When I rule the on world, they shall come to me, begging for a place in my legion. But alas no. I shall turn down thee pitiful begging and show no mercy! So. Is. THE. WAY! OF!! GALASSO!!!

        6. Deanatay

          … Until Mrs. Galazzo and Connie secretly infiltrate The Mighty Pillow Fort and force Galazzo to capitulate.

          But how? How could they stealthily penetrate such an imposing fortress without detection?

          Simple. The same way they ALWAYS defeat Galazzo.

          WITH SUBS.

    3. Roborat

      She still has two chairs, just push them against a wall.

  13. Tacos

    That reminds me of that Psychostick song, “Hate Times 8.”

    As for the alt-text: I wouldn’t be against that if that happened.

  14. Just Me

    The moment of awakening when you realize that pretty much everyone is as screwed up as you are and that Hate is a common manifestation of that condition.

  15. Mandy

    Sal is absolutely right, girls.

    1. foamy

      I have met a great many people who could’ve heeded her wisdom to good effect.

  16. zoelogical

    bless this misanthropic group of frenemies

    1. zoelogical

      all we need now is malaya

      1. zoelogical

        and CARLA

      2. ridtom

        Nobody really NEEDS Malaya. Unless they have a fondness for constant complaining and scowls.

        1. zoelogical

          listen sometimes it’s not about the bad attitude, it’s about taking a bad attitude with style

        2. Deanatay

          Besides, the combination of Sal and Malaya will irresistibly attract Marcie.

        3. zoelogical

          my god.

          but marcie doesn’t hate people i think?

        4. BBCC

          Marcie would beg to differ.

          As would I.

        5. zoelogical

          same. it’s the same feel i get from watching aubrey plaza

  17. Fart Captor

    I think they’re all bonding! Yay!

    1. jeffepp

      You misspelled bonking. Not yet, but soon.

  18. shoeboxjeddy

    Team Sal. I’m actually way more interested in people liking something in an interesting way these days. With the Cheeto in Chief in action, it’s kind of hard not to spend entire days in a hate trance.

    1. Delicious Taffy

      Mocking things in an interesting way, as well. For example, there’s an entire subculture based around taking horrible things people have said, remixing the soundbites into a popular song, and then posting it for all to see.

  19. BBCC

    Jeez, Sarah, watch it! If that top one fell too hard or was too heavy, Sal or Amber or both could’ve gotten hurt.

    1. Gryph

      yeah. It was kind of a dick move to take a bottom one while Sal was mid dismantle.

  20. Nono

    At least the strip is passing the Bechdel test.

    1. Gwen

      Just like it has since day one! http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/01-move-in-day/home/

      1. UltraKyrie

        heh, poop jokes

  21. Keulan

    I’m pretty sure not everyone hates people. I’ve heard there are some strange folk called “extroverts” who actually like being around people more often than not. Weirdos.

    1. brionl

      Man, I hate extroverts more than anyone else.

    2. zoelogical

      me at one point: extroverts are actually vampires b/c they suck all their energy from interacting with other people

      to be gentle with myself i was an introvert interacting with everyone on my last dregs of self

      1. Siddlaw

        I’m an introvert that turned extrovert and there’s still plenty of people that I hate. I love to hate as much as I love to socialize.

        1. zoelogical

          i just had a narcissistic friend and was Exhausted from trying to manage them. which should never have been my responsibility in the first place! lol, ways to put the fun in dysfunction.

          idk for me it just got so much more exhausting b/c i had to divide between inner and outer selves, i.e. the self i actually was and the self i had to present. which were really not as separate as i thought they were, but like … ways to closet yourself before you realize that you’re closeting yourself.

      2. Deanatay

        I always viewed introverts as plants, and extroverts as animals. Plants come out of their seed shell, word hard to produce all these lovely leaves and flowers and fruits, and then animals come along and eat the leaves and the flowers and the fruits and leave behind shit.

        1. zoelogical

          omg

          what a gorgeous metaphor

    3. monkyvirus

      Being an extrovert can be rough. My bestie is one and we live in different cities. One time his flat of 5 were all away except him and by day 3 he was near tears (we skyped which is when I noticed). Being extroverted pays dividends in the work place but I’m kinda glad I can be on my own for extended periods without freaking out. Avoiding social situations is a lot easier than having to generate them.

    4. Reltzik

      The worst part is when extroverts try to make me to do extrovert stuff like, you know, going to crowded places with bright lights and loud music, or just, you know, leaving my apartment, or, you know, talking on the phone, or, you know, interacting with anyone else via any instrument more personable than a keyboard.

    5. John

      Yeah, but they neither read nor write webcomics.

    6. Sam

      I’m an introvert that loves people. How high on the weirdness scale am I.

      1. Schpoonman

        That must be hell. “I love spending time with you, but only every other day.”

  22. Em

    everyone in this comic is extremely swole?? how are they lifting those chairs

    1. Delicious Taffy

      Bara-ing of Age, a webcomic about protein and fitness.

      1. sundriedrainbow

        You have my attention.

    2. tim gueguen

      Sarah is tall, so maybe she’s naturally strong. Amber must work out to pull off her Amazi-girl acrobatics, and practices some form of martial arts. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sal works out, and she does have a motorcycle she has to move around.(Anyone got a good gender neutral alternative to manhandle?)

      1. BBCC

        Sal also likes to fight, and hangs around an athletic crowd so I’d not be surprised – and yeah, she has a lot of ‘gym type’ shirts that say things like ‘slim’ or ‘fitness’ so I think working out is reasonably likely (we know she doesn’t like organized sports, but I can see her liking unstructured workouts where she can just do whatever).

      2. Cerberus

        strongarm?

    3. John

      They’re all genetically enhanced alien abductees. Even the ones who weren’t in the Walkyverse.

      There are aliens in the Dumbiverse, too, they just never show up on-panel. But there’s totally alien-related wackiness going on just out of view all the time. Ruth subconsciously uses her phenomenal mental powers to keep them away. That’s why they didn’t show up in the Walkyverse while she was around.

      1. BBCC

        They kidnapped Joe.

    4. hallucigenia

      Those things are also mostly made of foam and polyester, FWIW.

  23. Rukduk

    Don’t have anything to say about this comic, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who wished me good luck and support yesterday. I’ll keep developments posted.

    1. Delicious Taffy

      This really is just about the best online community I’ve seen. For the most part, people are understanding and supportive, and even offer links and numbers for helpful resources if they know any. In the past couple of weeks, it seems that kindness has come out more than usual, and that’s pretty great.

  24. RachelEvil

    I don’t think I have ever related so much to three characters at once.

  25. DarkoNeko

    It doesn’t ? 🙁

  26. tim gueguen

    So, will campus security actually show up go investigate all the noise?

    1. Fart Captor

      Not until they’ve finished investigating why there are so many cars in the parking lot

      1. Deanatay

        And why the mocha frapuccinos served at the campus Starbucks are so tasty.

  27. Owlmirror

    Sarah, wait!

    I know you hate me, but you dropped your book.

    1. ValdVin

      Now I can’t decide if the book Is a MacGuffin, or meaningless, or has contents that really matter to the characters (beyond a textbook).

  28. Ryek Hvek

    If we bump up the Kickstarter total past 50K, can we get 27 chairs in a Rubik’s Cube arrangement?

  29. Badgermole

    Sarah you dropped your people hating manual there.

  30. Fart Captor

    I like how Amber’s hair tends to kinda fall over her face a bit lately. It looks cute.

    Also that she doesn’t seem nearly as distressed as she did yesterday.

    1. Needfuldoer

      The destruction of the Chairs of Solitude has given her something besides her crippling Salophobia to think about.

      1. Deanatay

        Nah, look at the last panel – her Salophobia’s still quite strong.

        1. Fart Captor

          Sure, she’s still clearly unhappy, but she doesn’t seem nearly as scared or panicky as she did before

  31. Plasma Mongoose

    I love people, the meat from the shanks when the longpork is cooked just right is wunderbar!

    1. Micro-Girl

      Even better when you hunt down the longpig your self.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        It’s great exercise.

  32. Victor Riley

    I feel like this may be my favorite DoA individual comic.

  33. Baronbrian

    That chair is a monster. If it really was a good chair it wouldn’t have moved.

  34. Arianod

    And thus, a new bond was forged.

  35. Antonio

    Sarah speaks to me.

    Well not actually because she wouldn’t

  36. JessWitt

    Well this is a new definition of “mutual dislike”.

    Thankfully, Amber wasn’t lodged in the chair above the one Sarah took away.

  37. Chris

    Me want chair!

  38. Teddae

    all 3 of them are rel-hate-able

    get it? because…relatable….i’ll show myself out

  39. Bagge

    Amber: *FREAKOUT, FREAKOUT, FREAKOUT… Wow, that was the most stupid pissing contest I’ve ever seen.*

    I’m very cautiously optimistic that it might have derailed the freakout for now.

  40. Twirls

    … wait are there only four privacy chairs?

    1. showler

      It’s the lobby/common room of their dorm. How many would you expect there to be?

    2. Jhon

      All of them.

  41. Reltzik

    Amber, you have a dorm for that.

    1. BenRG

      Amber didn’t really want to hide from people alone; she wanted to hide from people with Ethan.

      1. Reltzik

        …. okay, he’s persona non grata, but only until he learns that “Penguins” is an acceptable answer.

  42. Liliet

    Wait, I’m confused. Shouldn’t there be two more chairs? Wasn’t the fort completely enclosed?

    1. Liliet

      Ugh, no, never mind. I confused myself.

  43. BenRG

    I bet that the people who arranged for the furnishing of that room never realised that there would be so man people at the hall of residence who desperately wanted to keep away from other people!

    Poor Amber really looks like she doesn’t know what to do next!

  44. Shan

    Ugh… I couldn’t handle how inconsiderate Sarah is in this strip. Is it just me? I don’t know, it’s weird that this is the first thing she’s done that’s made me actually upset. Couldn’t she just not be a jerk and take the top one? Would it have been that much extra effort?

    1. BenRG

      The thing to remember about Sarah is that the person she hates the most and the person she wants to punish the most is herself. Having caught herself manipulating Joyce for her selfish benefit only makes that hate worse.

    2. Liliet

      Well, Sal was already taking the closer to her top one, and to take the other top one she’d have to go around Sal and just. SOCIAL INTERACTION. Terrible.

      Yes, it would have been a lot of effort for me on a bad day.

      1. Kitty

        Considering Sarah confronted Sal first, and made sure to get the last word in before leaving, I’m not reading “anxiety over social interaction” as her motivation.

    3. trlkly

      Yip. That makes her seem like she didn’t care about actually physically harming people.

      And that has not been how I’ve interpreted her before. Even when she was pissed as fuck, she still went and helped out Joyce.

    4. timemonkey

      Amber’s the one being inconsiderate, taking all the chairs for herself.

    5. Carolyn

      Sal’s being inconsiderate? Amber’s the one hogging all the chairs.

  45. Dara

    these chairs still look to me like they should be magnetic and repel each other.

    1. Deanatay

      Actually, each chair is bipolar, like any good magnet – left arm is positive, right arm is negative.

      This actually makes them easier to stack.

  46. Danni

    let the hate flow through you

  47. CJ

    Hating people don’t make you special seems to be applicable in a lot of situations.
    Can I buy the t-shirt?

    1. hallucigenia

      Co-sign.

  48. A Scientist

    I was initially skeptical about the new direction of just Pokemon and chairs, but the idea is growing on me, I admit.

    1. Deanatay

      Much better than a comic about people and their stupid mistakes. I agree.

  49. Walky_Talky

    People. What a bunch of bastards.

  50. trlkly

    Hating people doesn’t make you special. Hating them so much that you are willing to risk injuring them when you could easily do something that wouldn’t injure them?

    That takes a hatred beyond what I’ve seen from Sarah. I might expect it out of Sal or Amber/Amazi-Girl if either was mad enough. But Sarah usually does care about hurting people, even if she hates being around them.

    1. CoMa

      Well…you seem to forget that she intents to break up the relationship of Raidah and Jacob, possibly planning on using Joyce in the process? (it’s still just a plan, buut…)
      I’d personally count that towards intentionally injuring someone you hate – it’s just not on the physical but emotional level…

    2. Liliet

      The chairs look really light. Sal probably just dropped hers because it’s huge and awkward to hold, and she didn’t have a proper grip.

  51. Circeus

    I’ll just say I really like Amber’s face in the last panel XD

    1. BenRG

      “Oh… Wasn’t I supposed to be scared of you or something? I kind of got distracted by Joyce’s roomie!”

  52. John

    Y’know, Amber, you could make a fort with just two chairs upside-down.

    1. Neeks

      She could, but then she’d be sitting on the floor for an indeterminate amount of time and that gets uncomfortable. She could use two chairs and a wall, perhaps. Although I guess it’s a moot point if the cushions are removable.

    2. BenRG

      She could also go to the library and create a book fort. I think she’d be surprised how often the librarians had seen a student do this!

  53. DSL

    Sal’s hair is looking more and more like a cape. Couple that with her usual preferred outdoor costume and I think we have DoA’s grittier, darker, edgier superhero. The one Bloomington needs, not the one it deserves. Or vice versa, I can never keep that straight.

  54. timemonkey

    Amber, if you don’t want to deal with people, don’t do something that will definitely attract attention.

  55. Cerberus

    It’s a misanthr-off!

  56. Reltzik

    I’m still thinking that this is a definite improvement for Amber being able to function in Sal’s presence, despite a major ambush.

    I’m wondering if any of it has to do with AG’s changing narrative surrounding Sal.

    1. BenRG

      I’m thinking that it is more of a case that Amber’s annoyance at the interruption turned out to be stronger than her actual feelings towards Sal. This is, in itself, a revelation to her and now a part of her is wondering how much of her fears had been fear of the fear rather than anything concrete.

      1. Liliet

        Amber is prone to dissociation, as we know from the fact that she literally has DID. There’s nothing quite like a distraction that literally pushes the horrifying thing entirely out of your mind for the moment :>

        (look at Amber’s face in the last panel. priceless. i bet you she had actually forgotten Sal was there for the moment, so desperate she was to)

        1. Goblin Scribe

          Has she been literally confirmed to have DID? I always got the sense Amazigirl was more a deliberate adaptation.

          Last comic conversation between alters regarding independent actions. I’m not sure how to get more confirmed outside an official diagnosis happening in-comic.

        3. Killjoy

          Up until that point I was thinking if it could conceivably be an affectation, or some other sort of psychological defense mechanism.

          Yesterday pretty much solidified DID in my opinion.

    Awkwardness defeated with maximum rediculosity! Oh wait, wrong webcomic.

    But comic relief replaces what looked like it might turn into a battle royale. Instead we have wisecracks. Thank you Willis.

      Though we’ve had this confrontation teased often enough, I think we need to get some payoff soon.

      I mean, I’m happy if the payoff is talking rather than a battle royale, but some kind of step towards resolution.

      1. Spencer

        There’s a big gap in preview panels after the sixteenth (hopefully gender studies doesn’t take too much time) so maybe.

        I too am really fucking looking forward to this storyline getting wrapped it. It’s been nearly three and a half years now and it was only last August that any progress got made.

    In Amber’s defense, she doesn’t hate people, she just feels uncomfortable around them. Well… she hates some people. But they earn it first!

      Amber hates herself for hating people. In fact, she probably hates herself for hating people more than she actually hates people. There are two reasons to cocoon yourself into a chair fort[1]; because you want to shield yourself from other people, and the reverse. Given that Amber started this when she offended someone she likes, it’s the reverse.

      [1]Okay, three, with the best one being “It’s fun!”

      1. Spencer

        I would not be surprised if Amber’s misstep with Dina put her in a self loathing fugue for the rest of the day. Even if she did positive things like hang out with Ethan and point out how fucking stupid it would be to hook up with Mike.

        I’m pretty much the same way.

      2. thejeff

        Not sure about that. She commented on making a chairfort when she first pulled the chair up to talk to Ethan. And about how nice it was to be in a cocoon of upholstery that blocked out the world.
        And then people kept breaking into the cocoon to talk to her and/or hide.

        Not disputing the hating herself thing or the misstep with Dina making it worse, but the impulse to isolate was definitely there from the start.

        And now, having looked back to the start of this little arc: Whatever happened to the totally stoned dude taking up chair #3?

        1. Leorale

          He got hungry and wandered off.

    …All three of the main misanthropic characters are in a room together. Hilarity ensues.

  60. Inspector Hound

    Hell is other people stealing my chairs.

    “Hatin’ people don’t make ya special.”

    My favourite for the title of book 7.

    1. Micki

      Seconded, nobilis! Sal has a great point…in this age of misanthropy and disconnect, hating people is the easy way out.

  62. Deanatay

    -I hate you all!
    -Oh, yeah, well, I hate MORE!
    -I hate EVERYONE HERE!
    -I hate everyone EVERYWHERE!
    -Well, I hate everyone everywhere AND everyTHING everywhere!
    -I hate everything and everyone everywhere, AS WELL AS everything that has EVER existed anywhere, AND everything THAT WILL EVER EXIST! *deep breath* EVERYWHERE!! *pants heavily*
    -… I hate myself.
    *other two look at her*
    -Welp, I’m out.
    -Yeah, can’t top that.

      Mike Greenberg on depression:

      “It’s hard to define what depression is. Picture someone you know, who you don’t like very much, but you are forced to spend a lot of time with them.

      Now imagine that someone is you.

      That’s how you feel about yourself. You go through significant bouts at times where you think about yourself, ‘I don’t like myself at all.’ Think about how you treat people that you don’t like, then think about how you treat yourself. Think about the standards you hold yourself to, the things you beat yourself up for, the things that you would support other people through, but you actually end up criticizing yourself in your own mind. That’s how I define depression…”

    I kind of adore this trip for so many reasons. 😀

  64. Smooti

    Sal’s last line in this is the attitude that kind of actually has helped me through any sort of job I’ve had to do with customer service. Just remember that the other person probably hates doing this as much as you. It’s weirdly comforting!

  65. Tyramisu

    And thus begins the newest chapter of the Sisters of the Crimson Tide, Sorortas of the Angrius Astartes!

  66. Patrick

    I love seeing these three together

  67. BP

    Have we ever seen these three interact directly before? They need to become a superhero team of people-avoiders.

      im not sure but that’d be amazing

      sal’s the smart one, amber’s the buff one, sarah’s the one who keeps them out of jail

      …or if they were powerpuff girls, sal would be blossom, amber would be buttercup, and sarah would be bubbles

      … … bless this webcomic

  68. Alexx

    This comic may have touched upon the general idea of being human better than most. We’ll just send this out into space as a message to aliens. “Yes, we all hate each other. We get by.”

  69. Alec

    Sal has definitely become one of my favorites. She understands.
