Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was way more concerned with giant colorful celebratory letters than any mundane thing like counting the number of songs or matching them with the queue.

Plus seven's a lucky number, right?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Quick vote is quick.

Summer - 3 pts.
Hanaichige (ending) - 2 pts.
Escape Goat - 1 pt.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'd be down with that. Normal nominations can be pretty horrifying as is; might as well make it official.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
