"what happens if people stop buying the merch merch?"

"you don't want to do that."

"why not?"

"because then the merch turns into the fleshreaper."

"that sounds bad."

"yeah. he flies from house to house collecting torsos."

i forgot to mention that over break i got a call from radford and they asked me to play in a brass ensemble. i play 4th trumpet which makes the practices kinda boring cause we only play one song that has a 4th part. so i'm kind of a bench warmer for the brass ensemble. could be worse. i could be the towl boy. but if i were, i'd be the best towl boy around.

i don't even know what i'm talking about.

anyway, i got bored so i kinda made my own survey thingy. its not like the normal ones that ask for height and eye color and stuff like that. its all about the music.
