concerning friendships, ft. Jo Ana Tan
SH: how do you become friends with guys
JATan: girls and guys, or strictly guys
SH: (realizes jo ana thinks he means the rhetorical "you")
SH: you, jo ana tan, in particular
SH: so we're stuck with knowing each other, since we became friends back when we had little semblance of intentionality

JATan: don't talk to girls
JATan: BBL.
SH: concise as ever.
