Friendos joined me for the hike this time! 
Very cloudy day with a lil’ bit of drizzling.
Bonus?
Not actually in despair, it’s joke. 
I uh, didn’t realize my ears were that red? IDK why even. 
After the hike, we stormed Denny’s:
“The Grand Slamwich”
Scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, ham, and cheese on potato(?) bread with a maple spice(?) spread, with a side of hash browns.
Damn, but I completely forgot how salty Denny’s savory menu is. Filling, but salty – even for my palate.
Breakfast Tidbit: 'Chew doesn’t particularly like pancakes, I liken them to tasteless, spongy bread.
Friendo 2: “I’ve never seen someone eat hash browns without ketchup.”
Friendo 1: “I told you.”
'Chew: “No, I don’t like condiments. No mustard, no ketchup, no mayo.”
Friendos: …
'Chew: "IT TASTES PERFECTLY FINE?!"
…
Friendos: [Slathering food with ketchup, Tabasco, and Cholula.]
'Chew: [Visible disgust.] 
…
Friendo 1: [Reaches for ketchup bottle.]
'Chew: [Stare.]
Friendo 1: [Squeezes ketchup on hash browns.]
'Chew: [S T A R E.]
Friendo 1: “…What are you looking at, lol.”
After-after that, a friendo and her mom and I stormed a local cafe / bakery place:
Ube Brownie (Squarish Thing): “It tastes like… cake.”
Ube Cookie (Frosted Dome Thing): Consistency was more like a cake?
Salted Caramel Cheesecake (Beige Cream-Looking Blob): "Reminds me of Hell’s Kitchen, that one time they made a ‘Deconstructed Apple Tart.’ "
Something Sea Salt Iced Latte(?): Friendo’s Mom’s drink. I… forgot which kinda latte it was. 
Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte (The Green): Mine! Would’ve been passably decent if it weren’t so obviously watered-down.
Americano (Very Top Left Corner): Friendo’s drink. Black. 
…We all kinda agreed the stuff there was incredibly mediocre, borderline bad.
Drinks all tasted like they were watered-down. Pasteries were sweet, but meh.
Very satisfying outing! Feeling emotionally reinvigorated.
Fun times with friendos is a huge morale booster. 
In moderation, of course. I’m very not a social creature.
