January 5, 20241 yr I'm not 100% that the entry I confirmed is what I want to go with but it's one of my favourite songs rn, it's an artist I've sent before which I have kinda fallen away from a bit but this song has got me back on board so maybe I'll stick with it idk

January 6, 20241 yr Confirmed going into my 17th year participating in BJSC (what the FUCK) with perhaps not the most inspired choice.
January 7, 20241 yr Confirmed going into my 17th year participating in BJSC (what the FUCK) with perhaps not the most inspired choice. Ok this was so uninspired that this has already been sent to a spinoff that I entered and gave said entry a 12 to oops
