Dear Diary,

Let me just state that you should always look under the stall to see if someone is in the bathroom with you before having a conversation like the one Evan and I had on Friday night. We went to see Evan Hansen at Fashion Valley at 630pm. The movie was just great. We LOVED it. I'm wondering if you'll love it if you've never seen the play. We enjoyed it so much because we knew every song, except for one, which was a new one just for the movie. Someone told me the reviews were bad for this movie and that Ben Platt doesn't look like a high-schooler. I strongly disagree. I see boys who look like him all of the time when I pick Evan up from school. And, the way they tied the music into the fabric of the movie was amazing. I truly recommend it.

After the movie, Evan had to pee. We went into what we thought was an empty bathroom and I saw myself in the full length mirror. Immediately I screamed "EEEW! Evan look at my outfit! What the heck was I thinking? I don't even think I know how to dress myself anymore. I look so weird. Why on earth did I pull out these sneakers to wear tonight? What's wrong with me?" We were cracking up. At that time, we were both doing our business in stalls next to each other. We were joking around some more and laughing and Evan yells "OMG every time you laugh, your pee comes out faster and harder." We thought that was hysterical. We made our way to the sink and that's when I woman pops out of the third stall. She was kind of looking at us from the side. Finally, as she reached for the towel, she said "I don't mean to interrupt and I don't usually listen to other people's conversations, but you both are so funny. You made my entire night!" Who would've thought. Evan and I get the giggles around 8pm every night. That started during lockdown. Remember when I laughed so hard one night, I peed the couch? Well, that's kind of our MO. Here's what Evan posted on her Snapchat. She wanted her friend to rate my outfit.
