“Losers in my social circle?” 

[lukecastano]

People breaking into your apartment fucking blowup dolls is a casual thing then, huh? You must be from New Jersey.

Naw, I don’t mess with small children. They are innocent, cute, and just tryna get candy. I don’t want to be the asshole who ruins Halloween for them. I like scaring the tweens who think they are too old to trick or treat and wanna hang out in a cemetery instead. Or, or the group of teens where the guys are trying to be macho fo their girlfriends then scream like a bitch when I scare them. Man, I live for those moments.

[lukecastano]

Oh yeah? This entire conversation gives me the impression that you like hanging around cemeteries. How true is that? Can you elaborate? I bet you’re one of those grave robbers. I watched a video about grave robbing the other day, this one kid was thoroughly explaining the process of it. I felt like I was being watched the whole fucking time, it was whacked. Anyway, hi. I’m Luke.

“Cannoli is probably going to start conspiring with him. Weekly poker nights at our apartments where they plot our deaths or easy ways to piss us off, the cigars included of course. It’ll be the damn poker dogs painting except with a bearded dragon in the mix. The way you said that it sounded like you thought Mushu was a dinosaur instead of a dragon, I apologize. You don’t sound like him, you just both make me laugh constantly.”

[lukecastano]

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one, Hadley. I’m so excited for your beardie though, in all seriousness. Did you look up accessories and shit you could get for him? You can dress him up in a little costume for Halloween and everything. Bring him to my party, he’ll win the costume contest, you’ll see. Awww, shucks. I try, I try. I like to think it’s what I do best, y’know, since I’m not good at anything else.

“Because we butt heads like two bulls in a china shop. And I just said it. Pinot Grigio. Once you take your first sip, there’s no going back. You will be my honorary and contracted best friend. Another commitment you must be ready for. Included in that contractual agreement is shit talking. You can’t drink wine and gossip without throwing shade at those who get on your last nerve. Also, Pinterest is good. I’ve spent many late nights creating private boards for fashion and inspiration for my music. Which leads me to answer your question…I’m a singer-songwriter, with a few acting credits on the side. Oh, and see me later about the wig and the mustache. I can probably hook you up with what you need.”

[lukecastano]

Well, I expect you to elaborate when we're inevitably wasted over some fine wine. Does this mean I'm getting sworn in sooner rather than later? Because I accept. I have a lot of things to say and I'm sure you do too, so I'm down whenever you are. We can start at birth. No fucking way, get out. Do you perform gigs around the city or what? And I may be picking your brain at some point regarding your acting experience. I told you, I'm trusting you on this. I need your help.

“The only person I disappoint is my mother. And for me to tell you what I’ve been in the past would take a bottle of Pinot and two wine glasses. Are you ready for that commitment, Luke? We’ve only just met. However, Freddy Mercury was a beautiful creature sent to create magic. You’re setting the bar pretty high as well, but I have faith in you, and I believe you can pull it off. But if you’re going to do it, you’re going to do it right. No holding back. All in. Can you promise me that?”

[lukecastano]

Whaaaat? Why do you say that? Look, if you're talking alcohol, you've come to the right person, Max. Say the word and I'm there, especially for some wine and shit talking...assuming it'll be shit talking. I know I am, that's why I'm looking for your guidance, since you seem to know your thing about costumes. I CAN PROMISE, YES. I'm going to be hitting up Pinterest for some ideas. I need to throw together a costume in two days. And I need a wig. And a mustache. I promise, I won't let you down, pal. Let's talk some real talk though. What do you do?

[aliceelizabeth-hunter-blog]

Knew it. Who would deny a sexy beast like you?

[lukecastano]

Awwww, shucks. Stop it. No, keep going. No, stop. Keep going.

[lukecastano]

Why haven't you sent me any nudes lately? Are you mad at me? Stop being rude. I have a dozen wings and an extra large pizza with your name on them right now in exchange for a nip slip. 😚

Would a troll doll nudie suffice?

[lukecastano]

[aliceelizabeth-hunter-blog]

You mean they don’t already?

[lukecastano]

You bet your ass they do!

Dude, you really need to go and see Wicked. Like, ASAP. Pssh, of course! Who hasn’t? It’s like asking if I haven’t seen West Side Story before, which I hope you’ve seen as well. Honestly, anything cheesy and childish. 

[lukecastano]

I know! That’s what everyone keeps seeing. I love musicals, I do. I’m stuck in this stereotypical gay man hell. Loving musicals, loving TLC shows. I have no shame. Alright, perfect. We’ll pick a winner from one of those. Does this mean I’ve officially convinced you to come to the party on Friday?
