Jonathan: "That's what weekends are for: taking care of stuff that got out of hand during the week."
Rianna: "Yeah, like sobriety."

(15:27:02) [me]: that's going up too
(15:27:19) Kathryn: yeah, under stuipdity and hormones
(15:27:24) Kathryn: put it under profoundness!
(15:27:26) Kathryn: i dare you
(15:21:01) Qatharsis: How come a quote is "profoundness" when it's by you, but "stupidity" otherwise?
