seeing posts about childhood pranks and flashing back to the time I set a welcome message on my mum's old brick of a phone, and every time she turned it on it said "LOW BATTERY" i found out later she'd charged it for a week. i then repeated the prank two weeks later and it only took her a few days

as a result of making 'you can see everything' posts, my notifications is just the same photo over and over and i also have underworld - cowgirl stuck in my head
