I was drinking wine and cheese on a nice comfortable couch, watching his victory speech on a 61” TV.
What I was Doing
I was over my sisters house and it was a celebration, family and friends, and we were just celebrating and screaming out the windows, and partying
i was partying
we were partying like it was 1999
what i was doing
