What am I up to tonight?
So far I’ve logged into Omegle (chat with strangers, thanks Tess) and talked a bored and hobbyless 17 year old boy from Florida into starting a punk band called Homeskooled (with anarchy symbols for Os, obv) by putting up signs around his town soliciting fellow homeschooled teenagers.
