Further proof that my new sign name is the right fit. This is from July when my friends were visiting. 😆

ID: Rikki (young white woman with neutral makeup, brown hair in a bun, and wearing a tan summer dress) outside, one hand resting on chin and other hand holding an iced coffee. Eyes are closed, smiling.

I watched I Know What You Did Last Summer last night and I got a review written up on Patreon for ya! www.patreon.com/posts/i-know-what-you-134891372


ID: Movie poster for "I Know What You Did Last Summer." The background features a large, ominous figure in a dark raincoat and wide-brimmed hat, holding a large hook. The figure's face is mostly hidden in shadow. In the foreground, a group of six young adults stands on a deserted road at night, illuminated by car headlights behind them. They all look back over their shoulders with worried or fearful expressions. The text on the poster reads: "YOU GET THE ENDING YOU DESERVE" above the title, and "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER" in large white letters. At the bottom, it says "EXCLUSIVELY IN THEATRES JULY 18." The overall mood is tense and suspenseful, suggesting a thriller or horror film.
