Do you want to see me chewing gum? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I can never see that face the same again ever since I was in a 9 month relationship with a girl whose snapchat name was the lenny face and eventually I forgot her name, was too embarrassed to ask her to remind me (because it had been like four months), so I spent the next ~5 months of my life with a psychoromantic connection to that fucking emoticon.

That's hilarious. What a time to be alive

The one saving grace of Facebook, everyone using their real names so you can find them.

But in the end, not worth it - the younger generations have made the wise sacrifice by not using it and just guessing everyone's names lol

Are you a living episode of Seinfeld? This sounds like a scenario George Costanza would get himself into.

My whole life I thought I was Costanza... turns out... I'm Kramer.

Did you ever figure out her name? I hope it was Linda.

Yes, but this was also the name of Seinfeld's girl.
