Last night I dreamed my small town high school (I'm 45) was transformed into a huge venue with concerts, shopping, etc.

I know what it looks like. I'm autistic, I have an alt account all about suplexing trains, and a complete collection of Tetsudou Nippon! imports with the Densha De Go! custom controller.
But I'm not one of those "train guys", I swear! 😂

This sweet kid went on the Figment ride at Epcot four times today, bought the toy, and is singing the song (a rare feat as he's mostly non-verbal)

Had to enter the cursed HOA that is Celebration, FL to drop off packages at the post office.
Two minutes in town and I already had some entitled dipshit lay into his horn because I wasn't trying to run over the bicyclist in front of me.
This song helped me recover: youtu.be/fiChvSOABxI?...
